PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

MATERIAL CLEARANCE
The fireplace must have a minimum clearance of 1200mm to a combustible ceiling above.
It is recommended that the fireplace be installed at least 800mm from combustible
materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least 1000mm away as they
could be adversely affected by heat.
The fireplace can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at
least 200mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50 mm at the back of the
fireplace to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the fireplace.
MINIMUM DISTANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Note: combustible material refers to any material that will degrade when subjected to heat
e.g. plaster. Due to the heat of a hot fireplace, a suitable fireguard should always be used
to provide additional protection. Never allow young children to be left unsupervised in a
room containing a hot fireplace.
THE CHIMNEY
The fireplace is supplied with a flue pipe connector for top mounting with the fixing screws
supplied. The fireplace should never be connected to a shared chimney/flue system.
Flue pipes with a smaller cross-sectional area than that of the fireplace outlet should never
be used. Flue pipes must not project into the chimney connector, such as to cause a
restriction to the gas flow.
