rial clearances, you must also meet required

you do not meet the clearances listed below,
you will need a hood.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burner is
level. If heater is not level, heater will not work
properly.
IMPORTANT: Remote receiver module is at-
tached to the valve by a velcro strap. This module
needs to remain where installed. If removed and
wires cross, this can cause the remote to fail.
