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 of either side of the fireplace opening, providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm.
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.
