6.0 SITING GENERAL
The heater can only be mounted on a non-combustible hearth at least 700 mm wide by 300 mm deep with the heater
central. Its top surface should preferably be 50 mm above the floor level to discourage the placing of rugs or carpets over
it.
The heater can be installed in the inner leaf of a suitable external wall, requiring a cut-out 560 mm high by 420 mm wide,
ensuring that the wall above is properly supported using the appropriate lintel. (see Section 13.0 Guidance on Fitting a
Lintel). The heater can be fitted into a fire surround having a cut-out 560 mm high by 420 mm wide. The material of the
surround must have a 150
°
C application i.e. marked with the suffix ‘150’
If it is not feasible to cut an opening in the wall then a rebated surround with a 152 mm rebate should be used, to enable
the heater to be fixed to the inner face of the wall. If the wall is constructed from combustible materials, either wholly or
partially, then the combustible wall kit Part No. 994530 and a 152 mm rebated surround
MUST
be used. (see Section 8.0
Rebated Surround Installation and Section 9.0 Combustible Wall Installation).
NOTES :
1.
When installing the heater using a 152 mm rebated surround, the hearth depth must be increased by 152 mm also.
2.
When fixing the flue length, the wall thickness must be measured from the inner face of the fire surround (Refer to
Section 10 Preparation of heater).
