Clearances
All units require certain clearances for proper operation
and service. Refer to Table 1 for the minimum clearances
to combustibles, servicing, and proper unit operation. In
the U.S., units may be installed on combustible floors
made from wood or class A, B, or C roof covering material.
In Canada, units may be installed on combustible floors.
Units must be installed outdoors.
Clearance to combustibles below the unit flue is 10 inches
since the flue points down.
