WARNING
Fire Hazard
Keep all flammable objects, liquids and
vapors the minimum required safe distances
to combustibles away from heater.
Some objects will catch fire or explode when
placed close to heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.

4.1 Where Can the Heater Be Installed?

The CGTH-Series heater is intended for installation
in the following areas:
• Residential applications, such as:
- garages
- hobby greenhouses
- workshops
• Light industrial/commercial applications, such
as:
- entranceways
- lobby areas
- lunch rooms
- aircraft hangars
(See Page 9, Section 5.5.1 for restrictions)

(See Page 10, Section 5.5.2 for restrictions)

4.2 Where Can't the Heater Be Installed?

The CGTH-Series heater is not intended for instal-
lation in the following areas:
• Residential living or sleeping areas
• Basements
Due to high temperatures, ensure that the heater
area is kept clear of furniture, draperies, clothing
or other combustible materials. Children and
adults should be alerted to the hazard of high
surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns and clothing ignition. Young children
should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the heater.

4.3 Installer's Responsibility

The CGTH-Series heater, the gas and electrical sup-
plies, as well as the venting, must be installed in
accordance with applicable specifications and codes.
In the absence of local codes, the installation must
comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
7223.1/NFPA-54, Natural Gas and Propane Installa-
tion Code, CSA B149.1. Only firms (or individuals)
well qualified in this type of work should install the
system. Consult local Building Inspectors, Fire Mar-
shals or your local ROBERTS GORDON
dent distributor for guidance.
Use the information given in this manual together
with the cited codes and regulations to perform the
installation. The heater must be installed in accor-
dance with the minimum required safe distances
from combustibles and must be vented outside. If any
aspects of the installation are unclear, consult your
ROBERTS GORDON ®
clarification. The installer must furnish all needed
materials that are not furnished as standard equip-
ment. It is also the installer's responsibility to see that
the materials and installation methods used result in
a job that is workmanlike in appearance and is in
compliance with the requirements of the Installation,
Operation and Service Manual. The installer must
give this manual and the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual (P/N 180100NA) to the owner.

4.4 Thermostat Tag

A laminated thermostat tag is available for the heater
as a permanent reminder of the safety instructions
and the importance of the minimum required safe
distances from combustibles. Please contact Rob-
erts-Gordon LLC or your ROBERTS GORDON
pendent distributor to obtain the thermostat tag. Affix
the tag by peeling off the backing of the adhesive
strips on the rear surface and position the tag on a
wall behind the thermostat.
A copy of the thermostat tag (P/N 91037903) is illus-
trated on Page 12, Figure 5.
Know your model number and installed configuration.
Model number and installed configuration are found
on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual. See Page 13, Figure 6 through
