IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner
fl
ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into
fi
replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of
fi
rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner
fl
ame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
14. Caution:
Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free appliances
will not
fi
lter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize
the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance is in operation.
15. This is an unvented gas-
fi
red heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel
Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl
ammable vapors and liquids.
18. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be a primary heating
appliance.
19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction, this does not
pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, addition mechanical ventilation is recommended.
20. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils,
fi
lms 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 maximum 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.
21. 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.
22. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
24. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a quali
fi
ed 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.
25. Never burn solid fuels in an unvented room heater,
fi
replace or stove.
26. Do not set kettles or humidifying devices on top of stove.
27. The stove door/screen must be closed when the appliance is operating. The screen shall have openings for
induction of combustion air.
