PET OWNERS WARNING: The health of some small pets including birds are
extremely sen-sitive to the fumes produced during the first-time use of many
appliances. These fumes are not harmful to humans but we recommended that
you do not use your heater around birds and small pets during its initial use until
the manufacturing corrosion coatings burn off.

6. All electrical power must be disconnected at the main service box, which
must be locked before connecting, inspecting, cleaning or servicing the
heater. This is an important precaution to prevent serious electric shock.
7. This heater is not suitable for use in hazardous locations containing
explosive liquids or vapours. This heater has hot or arcing or sparking pads
inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are
used or stored.
8. This heater is not suitable for use in corrosive atmospheres such as marine
greenhouses or chemical storage areas.
9. This heater must be mounted at least 8 feet off the floor. For specific
clearances, please see next page.
Install heater away from traffic areas, maintaining clearances stated in figure 2
(below). The air flow direction should not be restricted (ie. by columns or
machinery). The air flow should wipe exposed walls rather than blowing directly
on them. When more than one heater is used in an area, heaters should be
installed so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the
others, to provide best warm air circulation as shown in figure 3.
