.

Choosing a site:

 

 

This fireplace may be installed in any room in a home except in bedrooms or 

 

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. 

Clearances to combustible materials:

 

 

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.

A masonry shelf may be fitted 500mm above the fireplace

 but under no  

 

circumstances  should any electrical equipment such as plasma screen  

 

TV sets be positioned on the wall above. Any ornaments positioned above

moisture. No combustible materials whatsoever must be used or placed
