Installation & Operation Manual
• The top surface of the heater must be at least 3 feet
(0.9 m) above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts
located within 10 feet (3.0 m) horizontally.
• The area under an overhang must be open on three
sides to prevent combustion gases from being diverted
into living areas through doors, windows, or gravity
inlets.
• In the United States install the heater so that there
is at least a three (3) foot (1 m) clearance between
the bottom of the overhang to the top of the heater
exhaust vent.
• If the heater is installed close to a structure, protect it
from rain water runoff with rain gutters on the roof or
other measures.

systems that could spray water on it. Water from
sprinklers can damage controls and electronic
components.
• Be sure to divert rain water runoff away from heater
