English term or phrase: also keep them away from the side and the rear

Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillow, bedding, paper, clothes, and curtain at least 3 feet (0.9m) distance from the front of the Heater, also keep them away from the side and the rear

Also, is it ok to leave out the 3 feet, which is not so usual in German, and say 1m instead of 0.9?

Explanation:
Für brennbare Gegenstände, wie ..., ist eine Mindestentfernung von 1 m zu *sämtlichen* Heizkörperflächen einzuhalten.

Ich denke, damit hat sich die Diskussion um Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenflächen erledigt.
