Before operation
Read these instructions to get an overview of how to operate, maintain and service your
Timberflame Compact.
Clearance to combustibles, mantles and surrounds
Combustible clearances
The appliance must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come
into contact with the heater. In some case curtains may need restraining.
Mantles and surrounds
A mantle is allowable providing it is outside the minimum clearances shown.
For an additional overhang, 100 mm of vertical clearance is required for every 50 mm of added
depth. For example, a 100 mm mantle depth requires 400 mm of vertical clearance.
Floor protection
Heat emanating from this fire may over time affect the appearance of some
materials used for flooring, such as, carpet, vinyl, cork or timber. This may be
amplified if the air contains cooking vapours or cigarette smoke. To avoid this
occurring, it is recommended that a mat be placed in front of the appliance.
