Stove Clearances To Combustibles
Due to high surface and radiant temperatures, the Sterling should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies. Clothing and other flammable material should not be placed on or near the Sterling heater. Always
maintain adequate clearances around the stove for ventilation.
When positioning the unit be sure to consider the need for access to the gas control valve access door on the lower
right side of the unit as well as full access for periodic cleaning and servicing. Also consider the location of the
Optional Blower Fan.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained as shown. Note that the rear clearance to combustibles will
be determined by either the unit's or vent pipe's minimum clearance, depending on whether the installation calls for a
top exit (vertical) vent within the room or a rear exit (horizontal), through-the-wall vent.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained as follows:
18" (458mm)
14" (355mm)
3" (76mm)
