Caution and General Safety
•At all times maintain clearance to combustible materials as further specified in this
manual. Failure to do so can result in serious fire hazard.
•Never operate heaters in atmosphere containing flammable vapours or combustible
dusts.
•This heater is equipped with an electronic and automatic ignition device. Do not attempt
to light the burner by hand. Failure to comply can result in a serious fire and personal
injury hazard.
•Certain materials, when stored under this heater are subjected to radiant heat can
soften, distort or otherwise be damaged, special care should be taken of plastic
materials
•Appliance surfaces, other than the obvious flame and emitter surfaces, attain elevated
temperatures during operation. Do not touch the heater head during operation.
Everyone should be alerted to this hazard to avoid burning.
•Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
•Young children should be strictly supervised when in the area of this heating appliance.
Playing or running around the structure should be strictly forbidden.
•Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung on or near this heater.
•Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the heater must be replaced
prior to operating the heater.
•Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
-Safety Requirements
1. Never locate the heater directly below electrical lines, gas lines or sprinkler systems.
NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.
2. Do not locate heater too close to vinyl or plastic wall coverings. These materials may
discolour or soften well before they reach combustible limits.
3. The heater requires a minimum clearance from combustible materials. See the Clearance
to Combustible Materials section for specific requirements.
4. Always allow room for maintenance purposes.
5. The heater aspirates air for combustion. Do not locate heater where there are severe draft
conditions or airflow restrictions to the burner.
CAUTION: FIRE OR BURN INJURY HAZARD

Installation Instructions
-Clearance to Combustibles
A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing only around
each Burner, also to ensure adequate air flow in and around the Heating System.
The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above room
temperature. Building materials with low heat tolerance (such as plastics, vinyl siding, canvas, tri-
ply, etc…) maybe subject to degradation at lower temperatures. It is the installer’s responsibility
to assure that adjacent materials are protected from degradation.
In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at all
times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.
Table below lists the minimum clearance to combustible materials for various installation
configurations. Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials
which maybe damaged by radiant or convective heat.
Combustible materials are considered to be wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastics, Plexiglas
or other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered
combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Note with an ambient temperature of 70°F the surface temperatures at the clearance distances
listed below could reach 160°F, Care should be taken with placement of plastic or vinyl in the
proximity of the heater as they tend to distort and soften at these temperatures.
Adequate clearance to sprinkler heads must be maintained.
NOTE: Sprinkler head heat fuse link performance may alter with age.
NOTE: Some materials deteriorate or soften at sustained temperatures below 160°F.
Consult material manufacturer for recommendations

Installation Instructions
-Installation Sequence:
The Habanero can be mounted either horizontally or at an incline of up to 30° as shown in the
clearance to combustibles table (previous section). A review of the job site will usually indicate a
logical installation location and order. However, time and expense can be saved if installation is
begun at the most critical dimension, watching for interference from overhead beams etc. Figure
below provides a general overview of the components utilized in the installation, as well as their
general relationship.
Caution: In areas where seismic forces are present extra / additional bracing may be required.
Caution: The heater must have a minimum clearance of 8 feet below, but less than 8 feet hanging
application can be considered as long as it meets local codes and minimum clearance to
combustibles.
