clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 42 inches
from the front, top, or sides of

ties (such as, but not limited to,

cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls or cause odors.

the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater
in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.
