POSITIONING THE HEATER
Select a dry site on any rigid flooring surface, keeping in mind the following:-
• A central position free of strong draughts will ensure even heat dispersal.
• Check that the flue (if any) and its shielding will be able to pass through the
ceiling space and roof without interfering with any structural timberwork.
• The flue (if any) must terminate above the roof, no less than 500mm clear of
any part of the roof, and at least 1 metre horizontally from any
neighbouring structure.
• The minimum specified clearance distances to heat sensitive materials
MUST be maintained at all times, and sufficient room will be needed to
facilitate servicing the heater.

Note: Clearances are for fire hazard only. For durability of finishes or
surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their
specification. MASPORT accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of
surfaces or finishes.
• Avoid positions where curtains or furniture might accidentally come too
close to the heater.
• Select a location where the gas supply can be installed readily. If a
circulating fan is to be fitted, an electrical outlet will also be required.
