VENTILATION
WARNING: Provide a fresh air
opening of at least three square
feet (2,800 square cm) for each
100,000 Btu/Hr rating. Provide
extra fresh air if more heaters
are being used. The minimum
ventilation requirements must
be followed to avoid risks as-
sociated with carbon monoxide
poisoning. Make certain these
requirements are met prior to
operating heater.
Example: A 165 model heater requires one of
the following:
• a two-car garage door (16 ft. [4.88 m] wide
opening) raised four inches (10.16 cm)
• a single-car garage door (9 ft. [2.74 m] wide
opening) raised seven inches (17.78 cm)
• two, thirty-inch (76.20 cm) windows raised
twelve inches (30.48 cm)
