WARNING
A 6" clearance must be maintained between the flue or vent
connector and beneath the entire bottom of the appliance. This
appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed
so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation
air.
Flue pipe that stops on the side of the building will not vent
during certain wind and/or temperature conditions and will
cause flue products to accumulate under the house and can be
fatal to occupants.
UNIT MUST BE WIRED AS SHOWN
If any of the original wire as supplied with appliance has to be
replaced, it should be replaced by No. 18 Gauge 150° C wire or
its equivalent.
This unit has a limit control connected in series with the gas valve
to shut the gas off in case of inadvertent covering of the register
during a heating cycle and can be positioned to reduce register
temperature.
CAUTION
Floor register is HOT when furnace is operating. Floor register
can cause burns . Keep children OFF of the floor register.
(Provide fence or register guard for their protection.)
Use the FULL HEAT output during cold weather and only when
no children are around. In this position, your furnace will keep
running until the living area is completely heated or unless
something is covering the floor register. If the register is half
covered, your furnace will turn off.

SOME HELPFUL WARNINGS
Use low heat output when children are nearby.
Do not cover the floor register when the furnace or pilot is
turned on.
Do not restrict the flow of air around the register by placing
a screen under it.
Do not dry clothes or any objects by putting them on floor
register because this creates a fire hazard.
Do not hang clothes or any object above or over floor register
because this too creates a fire hazard.
During warm weather months, turn to full OFF position
before you cover the register with a rug, because this too
creates a fire hazard.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify operation after servicing.
