Never use this appliance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent, car or home.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This heater is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Keep any electrical supply cord away from any heated surfaces.
CAUTION - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
1. Keeping the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Not obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3. Visually checking burner flames.
4. Cleaning the appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning agents, if
necessary.
Check the maintenance section in this manual for additional instructions.
CAUTION - INSTALLATION
This appliance shall be used only in a well-ventilated space and shall not be used in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
The appliance may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than:
1. With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.
2. Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and no more than two
side walls. These side walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angles to
each other.
3. Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and three side walls, as
long as 30 percent or more of the horizontal periphery of the enclosure is permanently
open.

Caution and General Safety
CAUTION: FIRE OR BURN INJURY HAZARD
At all times maintain clearance to combustible materials as further specified in this manual.
Failure to do so can result in serious fire hazard.
Never operate heaters in atmosphere containing flammable vapours or combustible dusts.
This heater is equipped with an electronic and automatic ignition device. Do not attempt to
light the burner by hand. Failure to comply can result in a serious fire and personal injury
hazard.
Certain materials, when stored under this heater are subjected to radiant heat can soften,
distort or otherwise be damaged, special care should be taken of plastic materials
Appliance surfaces, other than the obvious flame and emitter surfaces, attain elevated
temperatures during operation. Do not touch the heater head during operation. Everyone
should be alerted to this hazard to avoid burning.
Children should be strictly supervised when in the area of this heating appliance. Playing or
running around the structure should be strictly forbidden.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung on or near this heater.
Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the heater must be replaced
prior to operating the heater.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
Safety Requirements
1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler systems.
2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials may
discolour or soften well before they reach combustible limits.
3. The heater requires a minimum clearance from combustible materials. See the
Clearance to Combustible Materials section for specific requirements.
4. Always allow room for maintenance purposes.
5. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe
draft conditions or airflow restrictions to the burner.

Important
Installation or repair should only be done by a qualified service person. The heater should
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½
psig (3.5 kPa)
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

Clearance to Combustibles
A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing around each
Burner. This ensures adequate air flow in and around the Heating System.
In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at
all times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.
Table below lists the minimum clearance to combustible materials for various installation
configurations. Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other
materials which may be damaged by radiant or convective heat.
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastics, Plexiglas or
other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even
though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Adequate clearance to sprinkler heads must be maintained.
NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 47°C (117°F) above room
temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-ply,
etc.) may become subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.
NOTE: With an ambient temperature of 21°C (70°F), the surface temperatures at the clearance distances
listed above could reach 86°C (187°F). Care should be taken with placement of plastic or vinyl
in the proximity of the heater as they tend to distort and soften at these temperatures.
