4.6 Required Safe Distances from Combustibles
In all situations, the required safe distances from 
combustibles must be maintained. Combustibles are 
materials which may catch fire and include many 
common items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabrics, 
etc. Combustible materials such as those noted, and 
any other combustible materials, must not be placed 
closer to any base or side of the CGTH-Series heater 
than the distances noted in the diagrams on the fol-
lowing page. If you have any questions about the 
required safe distances from combustibles, or the 
associated diagrams, please contact your installer,

For owner safety, a thermostat tag is supplied with

importance of maintaining the required safe dis-
tances from combustibles. Instructions for installing

It is important to keep the required safe distances 
from combustibles at all times. Clearances from vehi-
cles parked beneath heaters must be maintained. 
The thermostat tag (included with the heater) must 
be posted to identify any possible violation of the 
clearance distances from the heater in vehicle areas. 
Maximum allowable stacking height in storage areas 
should be identified with signs or appropriate mark-
ings. See Page 16, Figure 4 and Figure 5 for the 
required safe distances from combustibles.
Due to high temperature, ensure that the heater 
area is kept clear of furniture, draperies, clothing 
or other combustible materials. Children and 
adults should be alerted to the hazards 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.
