COMBUSTION AND VENTILATING AIR FOR UNVENTED HEATERS:
In a house of typical construction
,
that is, one that is not of unusually tight construction due to heavy
insulation and tight seal against air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation
is provided through
infiltration. However,
if the heater is used in a small room where less than 200
c ubic
feet (5.71li
3
)
of air space
is
provided for each 1,000 Btu per hour of heater rating (considering the
'
maximum burner adjustment),
the
door(s)
to
adjacent room(s) should be kept open or the window to the
o utside sho
uld
be
opened at least 1 inch (25.4mm) to guard against potential buildup of indoor air
pollution.
Do not
use the
heater in a bathroom or any other small room with
the
door
closed.
