building.

IMPORTANT: Operating heater where impurities in air exist may create odors. Cleaning supplies, paint,
paint remover, cigarette smoke, cements and glues, new carpet or textiles, etc., create fumes. These
fumes may mix with combustion air and create odors. These odors will disappear over time.
