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. The CE test results state that there must be a minimum of 1200mm
from the front of the stove to combustibles however Newman Fireplaces Ltd recommend that any
furniture or soft furnishings should be a minimum of 2000 mm away from the stove.
NEVER
use
or store aerosol sprays or any other combustible products in the vicinity of the stove when it is in
operation or whenever the stove is hot. The stove will remain hot for some time even after the fire
is extinguished.
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 8423:2010 + A1: 2016 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
8423:2010 + A1: 2016 at all times when the stove is alight or hot.
