information is provided in gray blocks along the edges of many pages.
These instructions must be followed for safe, efficient, and trouble-free

Before installing the heater, inspect it thoroughly for shipping damage
and missing parts. If any damage or missing parts are detected, report
this to the dealer from whom you purchased the heater and get the
deficiency corrected before installing and using the heater. Do not install
or use a damaged or incomplete heater.
The installer of this heater must describe the operation of the heater to

Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the room heater and to

Danger: This heater, as any gas-
fired appliance, can produce
poisonous carbon monoxide
along with other combustion
products. Carbon monoxide, in
strong concentrations, can
cause
sickness,
personal injury and death.
Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or
nausea. If you have these signs,
the heater may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once!
Immediately have heater
serviced by a qualified
technician.
Some
people
(pregnant
women, persons with heart or
lung disease, anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol,
those at high altitudes) are
more affected by carbon
monoxide than others.
Danger: Operation of this heater
on gases for which it is not
equipped may lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Warning: This heater cannot be
converted to a gas other than the
type for which it was equipped
at the factory.
Warning: Any change to this
heater or its controls can be
dangerous.
