INSTALLATION
Continued
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 where impurities
(such as, but not limited to, to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, 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 beneficial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP)
for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do
not install heater. Call dealer where you bought
heater for proper type heater.
WARNING: This appliance
is equipped for natural or pro-
pane/LP gas. Field conversion
is not permitted.
