THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT FRONT PANEL INSTALLED.
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of
more than 6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a
bathroom.
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more
than 10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom
or bathroom.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of
high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they
are in the same room with the appliance.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or
near the appliance.
• Due to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing
and furniture away.
• WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger
insert or other accessory not approved for use with
heater.
• Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It
is imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
• DO NOT use this room heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been under
water.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
• WARNING: ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS
CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
• WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s)
of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property
damage.
WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poi-
sonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made
for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written in-
structions provided with the heater for information concerning
combustion and ventilation air. In the absence of instructions,
refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Section
5.3 or applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-
TEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is
available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY
SYSTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and
control compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO
DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, heater
may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
serviced.
Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or lung dis
-
ease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol , those at high
altitudes — are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at
its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high
vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply
at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type
of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize
this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level
in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be
located so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.
