On models with fire front casting sets this is necessary to support the ‘ash pan’ casting.
The hearth / plinth will minimise the visibility of the heat engine components.
For installations that are not elevated.
This appliance does not require a non-combustible hearth. It can be installed on any
hard surface. This surface should be level and sufficiently flat to enable the bottom of
the fascia / fire front / castings to be aligned horizontally. Any unevenness (Uneven
tiles, Cotswold stone etc.) should be rectified.
The appliance must not stand on carpet or other textured surfaces which may
interfere with the flow of convection air through the bottom of the appliance.
The
floor surface that must be free of carpets, rugs or other fabric coverings should be at
least as wide as the appliance fascia and project forward at least 300mm from the rear
wall. In order to prevent carpet etc. being placed within this area, we strongly
recommend that the appliance is installed on a raised hearth or that the periphery of this
area is bordered by a fender.
5.9
The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O” 150°C
surround. We recommend that the surround manufacturer is contacted to confirm
compatibility.
5.10
A hole 152mm (6in) dia. is required through the wall for the flue unit. The height
of the hole centre is shown in figure 2 and on the wall-fixing template supplied with the
appliance.
5.11
This appliance can be installed in any room which contains a bath, shower or
where steam is regularly present.
5.12
A concealed gas supply connection can be made through the rear left panel.
Visible front connection can be from the left or right side.
5.13
No special ventilation bricks or vents into the room containing the appliance are
required.
