CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or

the manufacturer.
DRAFT DIVERTER
This heater has a draft diverter built in. It must not be altered,
obstructed, or blocked in any way, and the unit must be
installed so that the draft diverter is in the same atmospheric
pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the burner. This
heater must be properly connected to a flueing system. This
heater is equipped with a flue safety shutoff system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to
a properly installed and maintained flueing system or
tampering with the flue safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
FLUEING
This heater is a flued appliance and must be connected to a
chimney/flue in accordance with the installation codes.
Note: The rear pedestal cover plate must always be fitted
for safety. Electrical connections inside.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a flue safety switch
designed to sense incorrect flueing and react by shutting down
the gas supply. This thermally actuated switch is located within
the draft diverter and will detect either a blocked chimney or
backdraft condition where the chimney flow has reversed. If
this switch shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem
that must be identified and rectified without delay - the
thermally activated switch must
disconnected as a hazardous or deadly condition can result.
Flueing Requirements
A 100 mm diameter flue is required. For cosmetic or aesthetic
purposes 5" or 6" outer flue can be used as long as an approved
inner flue is installed. Fasten but do not penetrate the inner
sleeve of the flue when tightening the screw.
