Clearances to furniture and soft furnishings
Serious consideration should be given to positioning of any furniture or soft furnishings that could be
adversely affected by heat. We recommend that the stove be installed a
minimum of 2000mm
from
furniture, soft furnishings, and any combustible materials. When lit, a wood-burning stove gets hot
and therefore adequate protection must be provided, particularly in situations where there is a safety
risk to children or the infirm. When using this stove in situations where children, aged
and / or infirm persons are present a fireguard manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 must
be used and such persons must be supervised at all times.
It is also recommended that all other people should use a fireguard in accordance with BS 8423:2002
at all times when the stove is a-light or hot.
