24. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce com-
bustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appliances
will not lter or clean soot produced by these types of
products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents)
may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which can pro-

25. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area.
In most homes of average construction, this does not pose
a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction,
additional mechanical ventilation is recommended.
26. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this
initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
