WARNING
Improper installation or maintenance can
cause nausea or asphyxiation from carbon
monoxide in flue gases which could result in
severe injury, or death.
2C-1. Installation Information
Avoid placing the heater in locations where it can
cause damage by water or condensate leakage. If this is
not possible, provide a suitable drain pan to catch and
divert any leakage. The pan must not block natural
flow of air around the heater.
Locate the heater so the clearances from combus-
tible surfaces shown in Table 2 are met.
2C-2. Outdoor Installation
Laars Lite heaters can be installed in the low-
profile, grate top configuration (U.S.A. only) as
received from the factory, or with an optional high
wind vent cap/stack. Canadian units require a factory
approved vent cap.
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area. Do
not install the heater under a deck. Do not locate the
heater below or adjacent to any doors, glass openings,
louvers, grills, etc., which connect in any way with an
inhabited area of a building, even though the access
might be through another structure (e.g., a garage or
