Combustible clearances
The Novo must not be installed where curtains,
furniture, or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the fire while
it is operating. The 400 mm side clearance,
measured from the edge of the glass, includes
side walls. The 1000 mm clearance is in front of
the fire.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes. It must not obscure the
front of the fire or obstruct the fire in any way.
Flooring and hearth material selection
The temperature in front of the Novo can
reach up to 40 °C above ambient, which is
why material selection is important. For more
information refer next page.
Floor protection
Heat radiating from the fire may affect the
appearance of some materials used for flooring
such as vinyl planks, carpet
1
, cork, or timber. To
avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat
be placed in front.
1
Carpet cannot be fitted hard up against the fire as it will affect
operation.
Mantles and surrounds
Combustible mantels and surrounds require
clearance from the unit to minimise the risk
of fire. They are allowed providing they are
outside the minimum clearances shown.
The Novo gas fireplace is not designed to be
built into bookcases.
