CLEARANCE DISTANCES AND MATERIALS
Heat is radiated from the front of the fireplace. It is therefore important to take special care that no combustible
material is placed close to the opening of the fireplace. No combustible materials e.g. wooden furniture, cupboards
and fittings should be placed within a radius of 700 mm in front and on the sides of the fireplace.
The builders opening must be constructed of a non-combustible material and must conform to any current National
Building Regulations.
The base on which the unit will rest must be constructed of non-combustible materials, and it is recommended that
a non combustible hearth is used.
NOTE:
Hot air rises from the front of the unit. Any item (like ornaments or televisions) located directly above the fireplace
will be heated by this hot air. Care should be taken to diffuse this heat when locating placing sensitive items above
the fireplace.
VENTILATION
Fire uses oxygen to burn; thus it's important to provide enough fresh air for the combustion process. In addition to
that fireplaces without a flue release all combustion products back into the room. This increases the need for
adequate ventilation.
As part of the combustion products released into the room moisture is also released into the room. This will raise
the humidity of the room.
NOTE: Should excessive moisture be noted in the room, additional ventilation must be provided and
mechanical drying might be required.
To ensure efficient performance of the unit, and the safety of the occupants in the room ensure that at least the
following aeration is provided in the room. These openings must be of a permanent nature.
Ventilation must be provided both on floor level as well as on ceiling level, to allow for fresh air to move in through
the floor level opening, and out through the ceiling level opening.
Both floor and ceiling level openings must be at least 250cm
2
. For instance a opening of 25cm x 10cm.
These ventilation requirements are applicable for all rooms including bedrooms, living areas kitchens etc.
NOTE: This appliance may not be installed in a separately enclosed bathroom or any other separately
enclosed room.
