Building Work / Fireplace Opening
Measuring from the floor surface, the intended location of the base of the
enclosure unit is marked onto the wall. The fireplace opening should be located
centrally to the existing flue / chimney at your desired height. The area
indicated on the wall must be removed to create an opening to house the
fireplace. In some installations it may be necessary to install a lintel above the
opening, if so an allowance must be made to accommodate this lintel. (The
Fire does not have its own lintel).
The base of the chamber must be able to withstand the weight of the appliance
and must be sealed to ensure that all combustion products enter the flue.
Note:
The base must be level – if the base is not level the flame will not be
central in the fireplace and the user will most likely complain.
