Clearances are the required distances that
combustible objects must be away from the heater to
prevent serious fire hazards. Combustibles are
materials, that may catch on fire and include common
items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabric, etc.
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times
for safety.
Clearances for all heater models are located on the
burner of the heater and on Page 3, Figure 1 through
