INTRODUCTION
3
The Harman Clarity Direct Vent 929DV Gas Heater is a
listed gas-red direct vent room heater tested by Inchcape
Testing/Warnock Hersey to standard ANSI Z21.88-2002CSA 2.33-2002, and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91.
The installation of the Clarity Direct Vent Gas Heater must
conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition
and CAN 1 B1-149.1 and .2 Installation Code.
Also for use in mobile (manufactured) homes after home
is sited.
Mobile (manufactured) home installations must adhere
to the current edition of Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or CSA
Z240.4.
CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.
Installation and repair of the Clarity Direct Vent Gas
Heater should be done by a qualied service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually
by a qualied service person. More frequent cleaning may
be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners, and circulating air passageways of the Clarity be
kept clean.
When operating your Harman Clarity Gas Heater, respect
basic safety standards. Read these instructions carefully
before you attempt to operate the heater. Failure to do so
may result in damage to property or personal injury and may
void the product warranty.
Consult with your local building code agency and insurance representative before you begin your installation to
ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for
permits and follow-up inspections.
Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable
location for your Clarity Gas Heater. Observing required
clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe
chimney or venting system location, and the accessibility
of the gas and electrical supply must all be considered. In
addition, selecting a location that takes advantage of the
building's natural air ow is also desirable to maximize the
heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a
central location within the building.
