insert or other accessory not approved for use with

heater.

• Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSON. The appliance should be inspected

before use and at least annually by a professional service

CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an

appliance must be replaced prior to operating the

heater.

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline and other ﬂammable vapors and

liquids.

• WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s)

of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property

damage.

WARNING

When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,

heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,

poisonous gas.

Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are

made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the writ-

ten instructions provided with the heater for information

concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence

of instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or

applicable local codes.

This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-

TEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is

available.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY

SYSTEM!

If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and

control compartment clean.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO

DEATH.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the ﬂu, with

headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, heater

may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater

serviced.
Some people — pregnant women, persons with heart or lung dis-

ease, anemia, those under the inﬂuence of alcohol, those at high

altitudes — are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at

its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high

vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply

at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type

of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize

this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level

in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be

located so that the air ﬂow is not directed at the burner.

THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT FRONT PANEL INSTALLED.
