5. FIREPLACE CHECK
5.1 Fireplace check.
5.1.1
Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 3.2. This may
entail removing the fireback and infill material behind the fireback.
5.1.2
Fireplace general condition
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that the hotbox can be installed
without it rocking and so that a good seal can be made at the bottom front of the box.
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by the
hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should be made
good if necessary. If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible
cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area covered by the fascia. The
cladding must also not touch the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the actual fascia
is used as a template to mark the area for combustible cladding removal and that this
area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
