INSTALLATION AS AN OUTDOOR PATIO HEATER
What is "Outdoor"?:
An appliance approved for "outdoor use" may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than:
With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover, [overhead permanently open] or
•
Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and no more than two side
•
walls. These side walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angle to each oth-
er. The open sides must be permanently open or
Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and three side walls, as long
•
as 30 percent or more of the horizontal periphery of the enclosure is permanently open.
If these "outdoor" conditions are not met, the appliance is approved for "indoor use"
and ventilation requirements of local codes apply.
See pages 9 - 10 for Indoor installation, and Ventilation Requirements Section 14

WARNING
Provide adequate free space to allow the products of combustion to escape from the heater
to atmosphere when installed outdoors, or to mechanical exhaust withdrawal when installed
indoors. Do not allow the products of combustion to accumulate in any space or enclosure.
WARNING
Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater
may cause fire or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not
use, store or locate flammable or explosive materials in proximity to the heater.
The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum dis-
tance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface and a
nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a sur-
face temperature of 117F° [65C°] above ambient temperature when in-
stalled outdoors.
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that building materials with a
low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are pro-
tected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance materi-
als include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.
It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered.
Consult local authorities such as the Fire Marshall, insurance carrier, or safety authorities if
you are uncertain as to the safety or applicability of the proposed installation.
Refer to Table 1 & Figure 1 Next Page for the minimum mounting and clearances to
combustibles for Outdoor Patio application.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IN A RECESS, ALCOVE,
OR ENCLOSURE.
Certain materials or items, when stored under the heater, will
be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously damaged.
