to all National Building Regulations.
NOTE:
The hot air that rises from the unit can cause damage to heat sensitive materials like plastics and electronic
appliances. Any item placed directly or indirectly above the unit must be protected against the heat generated.
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 300cm

. For instance a opening of 25cm x 12cm.
These ventilation requirements are applicable for all rooms including bedrooms, living areas kitchens etc.
