bathrooms where the humidity levels are too high. (See page 1)

 

Avoid areas where there are strong draughts

, which may be generated by  

 

outside doors. It is recommend that the fireplace 

should not

 be installed  

 

within 500mm of any air vent, as this could affect the working of the ODS.

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely  

 

to burn when exposed to flame. Any other material which is likely to discolour,  

 

melt, or lose shape when exposed to moderate heat, should fall into the  

 

same category.
