This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This 

heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.

This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be 

installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and 

ventilation air.

This room heater is equipped with a vent safety switch. The vent 

safety switch will cause gas flow to the pilot to “shut off” due to 

improper venting or a blocked flue.
If the vent safety switch continues to “shut off” the gas flow to 

the pilot, a qualified service person must be contacted to inspect 

for improper venting, blockage in the vent pipe or the vent safety 

switch for being defective.

This room heater has a reversible draft diverter. The draft diverter 

is installed in the vertical position at the factory. Please use the 

following steps to change the draft diverter from the vertical 

positing to the horizontal position.
