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, Section 5.3 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

disease, 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.
