any combustible surfaces or materials in the room where
your heater will be located. You can find proper clearance
measurements in this manual and on the rating label of

an exterior wall or into an existing masonry or metal
chimney if "PL" vent pipe is used throughout existing
chimney. Venting can pass through the ceiling and roof
if approved pipe is used. Where passage through a wall,
or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
