CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Due to high surface temperatures, the unit
should be located out of traffic and away
from furniture and draperies. Clothing and
other flammable material should not be
placed on or near the heater. When
positioning the unit always maintain
adequate clearances around air openings into
the combustion chamber and allow for
adequate ventilation. Minimum clearances
to combustibles must be maintained as
shown in the illustrations on page 14 +15.
Note: The rear clearance to combustibles
will be determined by either the unit’s or the
vent pipe’s minimum clearance, depending
on whether the installation calls for vertical
rise within the room or a rear exit, through-
the-wall vent pipe.
Be sure to consider the need for access to
the gas control valve access door on the
front of the unit as well as full access for
periodic cleaning and servicing. Also
consider the location of the Optional Blower
Fan.
NOTE: These clearances represent minimum
distances in all cases, which, through testing in an
independent laboratory to ANSI and CSA
standards, will prevent fire or spontaneous
combustion. We do not control the combustible
materials exposed to heat by this product;
therefore, an assessment must be made by the
installer to prevent consequential damage of walls
and flooring.
