SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
! The heater area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
! This heater is designed for use with one type of gas (LPG or Natural). Make sure that the type of gas to be
supplied to this heater matches that shown on the heater rating plate.
!DO NOT install this heater directly onto an LPG container or propane cylinder without directions from your
propane company. LPG containers (propane cylinders) must not be stored indoors or in the vicinity of any gas -
burning appliance.
! Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
! Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the heater or placed on or near the heater.
! Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same space as the heater.
!NEVER attempt to service the heater while it is plugged in, operating or hot. Any guard or other protective device
removed for servicing a heater must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
! Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is

Installation of this heater must be in accordance with all applicable codes shown in the instructions and/or the
local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. In the UK all equipment must be installed and maintained in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998 for gas fired
products. Installation practices must take into account the Health and Safety at Works Act 1974 or relevant codes
of practice. In addition the installation must be carried out in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations (BS
7671:2001), BS 6896:2005 (Industrial & Commercial) and any other relevant British Standards and Codes of
Practice by a qualified installer. All external wiring MUST comply with the current IEE wiring regulations.
Clearances to combustibles as outlined in the manual should always be observed. In areas used for storage of
combustible materials where they may be stacked below the heater, the installer must post signs that will “specify
the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to combustibles.”
WARNING:Certain materials or objects, when stored under the heater will be subjected to radiant heat and could
be seriously damaged. Observe the MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES listed in this
manual and on the heater at all times.
Every heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to
the control housing. Each installer shall use skillful and reliable installation practices when locating the heaters and
must give consideration to service accessibility.
This heater is for INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY and is used in UNVENTED mode. The term Unvented actually means
Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require ventilation
in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation must be provided by gravity or mechanical
means. Ventilation requirements are addressed further in these instructions.
These instructions are only valid if the following country code is on the appliance GB or IE. If this code is not present
on the appliance, it is necessary to refer to the technical instructions which will provide the necessary information
concerning the modification of the appliance to the conditions of use for the country.
Although these heaters may be used in many applications other than space heating (e.g., process heating), Infraglo
will not recognize the warranty for any use other than space heating.
This heater is not an explosion proof heater. Where the possibility of exposure to volatile and low flash point
materials exists, it could result in property damage or death. This heater must not be installed in a spray booth
where the heater can operate during the spraying process. Consult your local fire marshal or insurance company.
For optimum temperature control, do no locate thermostats in shaded or draughty locations outside the area to be
heated. The sensor should also be shielded from direct radiation to prevent short cycling of the heater.
This heater must be applied and operated under the general concepts of reasonable use and installed using best
building practices.
