Safe Location Of Heater; Clearance To Combustibles - Schwank infrasave 4BN6-CB Installation & Owner's Manual

8. SAFE LOCATION OF HEATER:

CAUTION: THIS HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY
Locate the heater out of pathways where people may come into contact with it, or in areas where
the heater may be subject to accidental damage.
This heater can be used to provide radiant heat comfort outdoors, at poolside, spa areas, ter-
races, patios and work areas, etc. Not for indoor use. (refer to section 2, page 6)
It is necessary to provide "wind breaks", against wind and breezes to maximize comfort.
If objects are left under a heater in operation, such objects will be subject to radiant heat.
Always maintain at least the minimum certified clearances to combustibles from the heater to any
adjacent combustible materials. Refer to Fig 12 below.
 Install heater on a level, solid and stable surface.
 Do not install in an explosive environment. Keep away from areas where gas vapours
are present or inflammable liquids are stored or used.
 In case of high winds, completely shut-off the heater and gas valve. Remove reflector
dome to secure storage if necessary
8.1 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED:
The clearances to combustibles represent a
surface temperature of 90F° (50C°) above am-
bient temperature.
It is the installer's and end user's responsibil-
ity to ensure that materials with a low heat tol-
erance which may degrade at lower tempera-
tures are protected to prevent degradation.
Examples of low heat tolerance materials in-
clude vinyl siding, fabrics, canvas, plastics,
filmy materials, tri-ply, etc.
Maintain clearances to combustible materials
as shown in Fig. 12:
 Sides of Reflector: 24 inches


Children and Adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised when in the area of a heater.

Clothing or other flammable materials must not be hung from, or placed on or near the
heater.
