14. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc.
produce combustion by-products including
soot. Vent-free appliances will not filter 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-fired 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.
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.
18. Keep room area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
19.
Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone
heater. They are not intended to be a primary
heating appliance.
20.
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.
21.
During
manufacturing,
fabricating
and
shipping, various components of this appliance
are treated with certain 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
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.
22.
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% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.
23. 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).
24. 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).
25.
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 under water.
26. Never burn solid fuels in an unvented room
heater, fireplace or stove.
27.
Do not set kettles or humidifying devices on top
of stove.
28. The stove door/screen must be closed when the
appliance is operating. The screen shall have
openings for induction of combustion air.
