Unpack & Inspect Your New Heater
Location of Heater
The heater should be installed out of the reach of persons. The
direction of air flow should not be restricted by machinery, beams,
etc., and the air flow should wipe exposed walls, rather than
blowing directly at them. When more than one heater is used in an
area, the heaters should be arranged so that the air discharge of
each heater supports the air flow of the others to provide best
circulation of warm air. (See Air Flow Chart)
