Furnace Clearances and Installation
Before beginning your installation, consult with local authorities regarding the codes governing all such installations. DO NOT connect
your Shelter Furnace to a flue that is servicing ANY other appliances.
The Shelter Furnace may be placed outdoors or indoors. If outdoors, it must be placed on a level, non-combustible base, preferably a
4’ x 8’ concrete pad, as close to the home as clearances to combustibles permit – but do not place the furnace more than 25 feet from
the house. The furnace must be connected to a grounded electrical circuit with access to a backup generator (2000 watt minimum). If
installing indoors, your furnace must be placed on a non-combustible floor. Air for combustion must be provided into the room where the
furnace is located. Allow air free access to furnace for combustion and ventilation.
Maintain the following clearances:
• Front = 48 inches
• Rear = 31 inches
• Sides = 12 inches
• Heat Duct = 6 inches for the first 16 inches from the back of the furnace, and 3 inches beyond
Once you have taken into consideration the local requirements governing the installation and positioning of the furnace, install the
Electrical Control Kit. Open the Electrical Control Kit and confirm that all items were shipped with your Shelter Furnace. IMPORTANT:
ENSURE THE POWER CORD IS PLUGGED INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. The fan limit control is factory pre-set at
160° as the “ON” temperature setting and 100° as the “OFF” temperature setting. This means when the heat chamber reaches 160°, the
blower will turn on; when the chamber cools, the blower will turn off.
IMPORTANT: FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES,
DO NOT RETURN TO THE STORE, CALL SHELTER FURNACE AT 1-800-875-
4788.
