The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper
operation. While another gas-fired cheesemelter can be placed adjacent to this
Cheesemelter, there must be no obstruction to the front of the Cheesemelter. A minimum
front clearance of 36" (91 cm) is required.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate
supply of air in the room to replace air taken out by the ventilating system.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the Cheesemelter. Avoid wall-type fans which
create air cross currents within the room. Avoid open windows next to the Cheesemelter.
