16. Keep room area clear and free from combustible mate-
rials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
17. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater.
They are not intended to be a primary heating appli-
ance. Water vapor produced by an unvented heater can
create moisture problems in a home when operated for
extended periods of time.
18. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, vari-
ous components of this appliance are treated with cer-
tain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are
not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maxi-
mum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow
odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial
break-in period will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
19. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code.
20. The heater and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
21. The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping sys-
tem at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5
kPa).
22. 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 un-
der water.
23. This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the
closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and se-
vere sooting outside the fireplace.
24. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a unvented
room heater is installed.
25. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the appli-
ance is in operation and , unless other provisions for
combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an
opening(s) for induction of combustion air.
