any transit protection material.
a. The appliance area must be kept clear and
free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapours and liquids.
b. Gas orifices and burner must be kept clear
of dirt and cobwebs. Flow of combustion
and ventilation air through the perforated

Combustible materials are considered to be
wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic,
plexiglas or other materials capable of being
ignited and burned.
Such materials shall be considered
