CLEARANCES (Vent-Free
Operation Only)
WARNING: Maintain the mini-
mum clearances. If you can, pro-
vide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling, and adjoining wall.
WARNING: Never install the
heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom un-
less installed as a vented ap-
pliance, see page 10
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 42 inches

INSTALLATION
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install heater.
Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fireplace,
the chimney flue and firebox must
be cleaned of soot, creosote,
ashes and loose paint by a quali-
fied chimney cleaner. Creosote
will ignite if highly heated. A dirty
chimney flue may create and dis-
tribute soot within the house. In-
spect chimney flue for damage. If
damaged, operate heater with flue
damper closed.
WARNING: Seal any fresh air
vents or ash clean-out doors lo-
cated on floor or wall of fireplace.
If not, drafting may cause pilot
outage or sooting. Use a heat-
resistant sealant. Do not seal
chimney flue damper.
CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as, but
not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning flu-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing heater in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only propane/LP gas. If your gas supply
is not propane/LP, do not install heater. Call
dealer where you bought heater for proper
type heater.
NOTICE: State or local codes may
only allow operation of this appli-
ance in a vented configuration.
Check your state or local codes.
NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your pri-
mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circu-
late the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
