WARNING
Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater may cause
fire or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not use, store or locate
flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors in proximity of the heater.
The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum
distance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface
and a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles repre-
sents a surface temperature of 117F° (65C°) above ambient tem-
perature when installed outdoors.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that building materials
with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower tempera-
tures are protected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat
tolerance materials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics,
filmy materials, etc.
It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encoun-
tered. Consult local authorities such as the Fire Marshall, insurance carrier, or safety authori-
ties if you are uncertain as to the safety or applicability of the proposed installation.
Refer to Table 1 & Figure 1 Next Page for the minimum mounting and clearances to
combustibles for Outdoor Patio application.
WARNING
Adequate free space must be provided to allow the products of combustion to escape from
the heater to atmosphere when installed outdoors, or to mechanical exhaust withdrawal
when installed indoors. Do not allow the products of combustion to accumulate in any space
or enclosure.
Note: Do not store or place anything directly under heater
Ensure mounting height in any location is sufficient to prevent patrons from
coming in contact with heater, and clearance to combustibles is maintained.
