3. Exhaust and Air Intake Installation:

Connect the exhaust pipe to the heater's exhaust port and route it safely outdoors, ensuring it is directed away from any combustible materials or living spaces. The exhaust must be installed in the direction of the wind to prevent backflow. Connect the air intake pipe to the corresponding port.

4. Power Connection:

The heater supports both 12V DC and 220V AC power.

• For 12V DC operation (e.g., in vehicles), connect the provided 12V power cable to a suitable 12V power source.
• For 220V AC operation (e.g., indoors), use the included 220V/230V power adapter. Connect the heater to the adapter, and then plug the adapter into a standard 220V wall outlet.
