Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, coal, paper
or cardboard etc.) be used in this appliance.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed
in any way.
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.

THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE
DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT FRONT PANEL INSTALLED.
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poison-
ous 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 concern-
ing combustion and ventilation air. In the absence of instruc-
tions, 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
disease, 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.
