Due to high surface temperatures, locate the
unit out of traffic areas and away from furniture
and draperies. Do not place clothing and other
flammable material 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 Figures 5 - 8.
Note:
The rear clearance to combustibles is
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. Ensure you
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 clearance for the blower assembly if
present, or planned in the future
