CLEARANCES
It is mandatory that the heater is installed sufficiently clear of combustible material. See the diagram and
table below for minimum clearances for both parallel to the wall and corner installation configurations.

firewood) may result in a fire, the damage from which may not be claimable against insurance.
These clearances apply only where a standard “default” flue kit is used, consisting of
•
Within the room interior: 150 mm diameter active flue and 200mm diameter coated galvanized
180
°
perforated front with solid back
