Basic Description
Always consult your local heating or plumbing inspector,
building department or gas company regarding regulations,
codes or ordinances which apply to the installation of a vented
room heater.
No electrical power is required unless furnace is equipped with
an optional blower accessory.
The efficiency rating of this appliance is a product thermal
efficiency rating determined under continuous operating
conditions and was determined independently of any
installation system.
Warmed air is discharged into the room in which the heater is
located. The heater contains a single multi-slot gas burner.
Combustion air is drawn in from the room where the heater is
located and is vented out of the heater vertically through vent
piping to a roof vent top. (Vent equipment is not supplied with
the heater).
The combustion chamber is built of heavy-gauge steel. The
heater cabinet is also constructed of heavy-gauge steel and has a
powder-coat paint finish.
The heater controls are located behind an access door on the side
of the heater. All models are equipped with CSA/AGA listed gas
valves and pilots.
The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system,
designed to protect against improper venting. Operation of this
room heater when not connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safety
shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and
