To enable the product of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet at the back
of the appliance must have a 50mm minimum clearance between it and the back wall of the
opening or any other obstruction.
The area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and
floor; a combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies
with the dimensions given below.
From Hearth to Underneath of Shelf with a depth of 150mm is 766mm add 12.5mm in height
for every 25mm increase to the projection of the shelf depth.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock,
blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or
scorch.
SECTION 5.1: PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of flue boxes provided that the minimum
dimensions required for the appliance complied with.
The frame of the fire, any back panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed
together so that there is no possibility of leakage between them.
The correct clearances to combustible materials (i.e. false chimney breast etc) must be
adhered to.
The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabricated box must be complied with at all
times.
To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit supplied, some minor adaption may be necessary for
certain flue boxes.
Please ensure the firebox does not obscure the flue box outlet.
The firebox, base of the flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws
to secure installation.
It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that
the flue box is sealed to any back or infill panel.
Note: The DEPTH dimension is inclusive of any back or infill panel.
