Grill Clearance Requirements
Where obstructions are present use the fol-
lowing guidelines for proper spacing from
the Vert-I-Pak exterior louvered grill. Fried-
rich recommends that ALL obstructions are
a minimum of 72" from the exhaust.
For minor obstruction(s) such as lamp poles
or small shrubbery, a clearance of 24" from
the outdoor louver must be maintained.
For major obstructions such as a solid fence,
wall, or other heat rejecting devices like a
condensing unit, a minimum distance of 72"
must be kept.
