INTRODUCTION
Installing
the
Monitor
System
at the
user's
location
can
be
performed
quickly
and
economically.
The
Monitor
2400/2200 model
is
strictly
a
remotely
fueled
system
and is
externally vented.
As
such
it
needs
the
installation
of an
externally vented
intake/
exhaust
system
and if
remotely
fueled,
will
need
the
installation
of a
remote fuel storage tank.
By
completing each step
of the
easy-to-follow
installation
instructions
(each step should
be
com-
pleted
in the
exact order
specified),
the
Technician
is
directed through
the
installation
process.

contains
all

mation

(in-
cluding
any
electrical
wiring
and
fuel
supply
equipment), check local
building,electrical,
mechanical
and
fire
codes.
The
requirements
of
these
codes
must
be
followed
to
insure
lawful installation
and

can be
located
almost anywhere within
the
dwelling provided
that
electrical,
fuel,
and ex-
haust

PHYSICAL PLACEMENT
OF
HEATER
In
addition
to the
space
taken
up by the
heater,
interior space must also
be

all
combustibles
from
the
heat-
ing
area.
Unless
building
or
fire codes
dictate
otherwise,
the
Monitor system
can be
placed
on any
floor surface
(including
carpeting
or
other combustible material)
and
provide safe
operation.
