In
standard
configuration
the
gas
heater
is
not
protected
against
rain
and
such
if
not
placed
under
a
roof.
Water
entering
the
heater
leads
to
electrical
failure
and
the
material
may
start
to
rust.
It's
easy
to
make
a
protective
shelf
that
covers
the
stove.
You
must
then
take
into
account
the
installation
regulations
with
dimensions
on
page
4
of
the
manual.
To
reduce
the
minimum
safe
distance,
a
refractory
material
can
used.
On
our
website;
www.spadealersuk.com,
drawings
can
also
be
downloaded.
The
protective
shelf
is
also
available
to
order
as
an
accessory.
If
the
stove
is
left
outside
in
freezing
temperatures
then
the
heat
exchanger
could
freeze
and
be
destroyed.
If
the
stove
is
not
protected
so
that
water
cannot
freeze
in
the
heater,
it
shall
be
disconnected
and
taken
indoors
where
the
risk
of
freezing
exists.
