Due to high surface and radiant temperatures,
the Sterling 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 Sterling heater.
Always maintain adequate clearances around the
air openings into the combustion chamber and allow
for adequate ventilation. When positioning the unit
be sure to consider the need for access to the gas
control valve access door on the lower right side of
the unit as well as full access for periodic cleaning
and servicing.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be
maintained as shown in
Figures 1-4
. Note that the
rear clearance to combustibles will be determined by
either the unit's or vent pipe's minimum clearance,
depending on whether the installation calls for a top
exit (vertical) vent within the room or a rear exit
(horizontal), through-the-wall vent.
