IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture
to the air. Although this is benecial, installing
heater in rooms without enough ventilation
air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, page 5. If high humidity is experienced,
a dehumidier may be used to help lower the
water vapor content in the air.

inspection and service
