When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,

heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poi-

sonous 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.

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.
