GAS-FIRED LOW-INTENSITY INFRA-RED
FOR EITHER INDOOR OR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
SSTG (Straight Tube)
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or death.
Read the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•
If you smell gas: open windows; don't touch electrical switches, extinguish any open flames; evacuate the
structure; call your gas supplier immediately.
WARNING – NOT FOR RESIDENTIAL USE
•
Failure to comply with instructions could result in unsafe operation, property damage, personal injury, and/or
death. A gas-fired appliance could expose you to substances in fuel or from fuel combustion, which have
been determined by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For
industrial or commercial use only.
•
Retain these instructions for future reference. Contact factory for further information.
IMPORTANT
•
Have a qualified electrician check the electrical supply circuit and wall receptacle are properly grounded and
the electrical supply polarity is correct. The heater control is polarity sensitive and will not operate properly if
the electrical supply is not wired correctly.
