Hearth Requirements

The Radiance Unvented heater must be installed on rigid
flooring. If the appliance is installed on any combustible
surface other than wood flooring, such as carpet or tile, a
metal or wood panel must be installed to extend the full
length and width of the unit. There are no other hearth or
floor protection requirements.
!
• Do not install this heater in a bathroom or bedroom.
• Installation of this heater must conform with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
• This heater creates warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing
the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating
the heater where impurities in the air such as tobacco
smoke exist, may discolor walls.

other accessory not approved for use with this heater.
