The instructions are clear on clearances above and around the heater. Something like 6" I believe to drapes, but not too restrictive.

I did review the installation instructions and saw the 6" drape clearance which makes good sense. I also ran the heater and let it run for about 15 minutes before mounting it to the wall. The back side of the heater gets extremely hot, too hot to even touch and hot enough to burn your skin. That concerned me so I mounted mine on a 3/8" thick backer board using heat reflective tape to direct the heat back into the heater and not out towards the rear wall. Dont think I would want the heater mounted directly against the paneling or any wall for that matter. I feel comfortable how mine has been installed, even if the owners guide says you can make a direct mount onto any wall.
