OUTDOOR HEATER INSTALLATION

These heaters are design-certified for outdoor installation, when equipped with the approved tops designated for
outdoor use.
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause
water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage
electrical components, and void the warranty.
WARNING: Do not install within 3 feet of a heat pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong air intake from
this type of equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury.

When installed according to the listed minimum clear-
ances from combustible construction, the pool heater
can still be serviced without removing permanent
construction around the heater.
However for ease of servicing, we recommend a clear-
ance of at least 24" in the front, and at least 18" on the
water connection side. This will enable the heater to
be serviced in its installed location, that is, without
movement or removal of the heater.
Clearances less than these (6" minimum), may require
removal of the heater to service either the heat
exchanger or the burner tray.
heater must be installed in a manner that will enable
the heater to be serviced without removing any struc-
ture around the heater.
FLOORING: This heater can be installed on com-
bustible flooring.
