4.6 Required Safe Distances from Combustibles
In all situations, the required safe distances from
combustibles must be maintained. Combustibles are
materials which may catch fire and include many
common items such as wood, paper, rubber, fabrics,
etc. Combustible materials such as those noted, and
any other combustible materials, must not be placed
closer to any base or side of the CGTH-Series heater
than the distances noted in the diagrams on the fol-
lowing page. If you have any questions about the
required safe distances from combustibles, or the
associated diagrams, please contact your installer,
ROBERTS GORDON
® independent distributor, or
Roberts-Gordon at 716.852-4400 or 1.800.828.7450,
during normal business hours which are Monday
through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Eastern Time.
For owner safety, a thermostat tag is supplied with
the CGTH-Series as a permanent reminder of the
importance of maintaining the required safe dis-
tances from combustibles. Instructions for installing
the tag are located on Page 31, Section 6.5. Immedi-
ately contact your ROBERTS GORDON
® indepen-
dent distributor or Roberts-Gordon if the tag is
missing.
It is important to keep the required safe distances
from combustibles at all times. Clearances from vehi-
cles parked beneath heaters must be maintained.
The thermostat tag (included with the heater) must
be posted to identify any possible violation of the
clearance distances from the heater in vehicle areas.
Maximum allowable stacking height in storage areas
should be identified with signs or appropriate mark-
ings. See Page 16, Figure 4 and Figure 5 for the
required safe distances from combustibles.
Due to high temperature, ensure that the heater
area is kept clear of furniture, draperies, clothing
or other combustible materials. Children and
adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns and clothing ignition. Young children
should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the heater.
