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

access

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.
