INSTALLATION

WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning fi replace,
the chimney fl ue and fi rebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo-
sote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney fl ue may
create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney and
fi rebox fl ue for damage. If dam-
aged, repair fl ue and fi rebox
before operating heater.
WARNING: Never install the
heater
• in a bedroom or bathroom
unless installed as a vented
unit, see Page 12
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, cloth-
ing or other fl ammable objects
are less than 42" from the front,
top or sides of the heater
• in high traffi c areas
• in windy or drafty areas
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 fl u-
ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture
to the air. Although this is benefi cial, installing
heater in rooms without enough ventilation
air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, Page 6.
