SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor.
A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the
dimensions given below.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireplace opening.
Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the
fireplace opening , providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).
Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock,
blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.
VENTILATION
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of
other appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when
assessing ventilation.
If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may
be insufficient natural ventilation for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater
problem should the property be of modern nature. If the appliance does not spill with windows
open but does with windows closed, this proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if not, it
will be the flue at fault. Installation of an airbrick in these circumstances may be the best solu-
tion. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation locat-
ed underneath or within the immediate vicinity of the fire MUST NOT be used as it may adverse-
ly affect the performance of the O.D.S. system.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which
cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules
in force.
