Clearances to Combustibles

This furnace is Design Certified by CSA International for
the minimum clearances to combustible material listed in
Table 3. Refer to the furnace rating plate, located inside of
the furnace cabinet, for the specific model number and
clearance information.
Access for positioning and servicing the unit must be
considered when locating unit. 24 inches is the minimum
required clearance from the front of the unit for servicing
it. 30 inches is the minimum required clearance from the
front of the unit for positioning it. 36 inches is the
