Heater Expansion

It is a normal condition that during heat-up and cool-down a radiant

heater will expand and contract. Allowances for heater expansion

must be made in the gas connection and heater suspension. Improp-

er installation, alteration, or adjustment can result in property dam-

age, injury or death.

WARNING

Venting

Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon

monoxide poisoning, injury or death. When used indoors, this heater

is indirectly vented from the space. Venting must be in accordance

with all local, state, provincial, and national codes [ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada] and as indicated in this manual. Refer to Section 14

Gas Connection

Improper installation, connection, or adjustment can result in proper-

ty damage, toxic gases, asphyxiation, injury or death. Use an ap-

proved stainless steel flexible gas connector [field supplied] to con-

nect to the gas supply to the heater in accordance with all local,

state, provincial, and national codes [ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada] and

as indicated in this manual.

WARNING

Start-up ‘Smoke’ & Discoloration Condition

During start-up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of the heater

may create a small amount of smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is

normal and temporary .

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any ‘smoke’ from the space.

Notify site management and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly activated.

WARNING

Heater Discoloration / Staining

Stainless Steel & Painted Finishes: Surface discoloration or staining will occur on any heater body

due to heat. Surface finish discoloration due to heat is a normal occurrence. Surface discoloration

does not affect the operation or performance of the heater nor the manufacturer’s component war-

ranties. [Refer to Section 12: Heater Finish & Appearance, page 22]

Some discoloration can result from the deposit of ambient air-borne particulate or gases from within

the space that have passed through combustion to create ‘smoke’. The combustion of fuel gas in a

clean environment will not cause smoke discoloration deposits.
