Clearances
Minimum clearances to combustible materials are:
Top – 10”
Sides – 2”
Rear – 1” with left hand side rear sheild mounted
as shown in Figures. 1, 2 & 3.
Note: DO NOT install the appliance directly on carpeting. Carpeting must
be removed or protected by a metal or wood panel beneath the appliance,
which extends at least the full width and depth of the appliance.
Fig#1 - This is ideal as both top and sides are open
Fig#2 – During hot/humid weather this confined area will become very
warm. To reduce heat build-up, we recommend providing an area for two air
vents to circulate the air. One placed 6” off the floor and the other at or above
the appliance top. Cold air return vents with adjustable louvers, works very
well. This will allow hot air to evacuate the area and assist in air flow across the
fins (similar to air passing across a radiator) – See Fig #4
Fig#3 – If this is your opening you only need to stay the diagramed distance
from the wall and ceiling. There is no need for additional venting.
