In the United Kingdom, as supplied, the appliance can be installed in the following
situations: -
3.10.1 Conventional fireplace and hearth.
To a fireplace complete with hearth as shown in figure 4. Chair brick removal may not
be required providing at least 50mm clearance is available from the flue outlet to any
fireplace component.
3.10.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations.

It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 4.

Brooklyn, Chic, Envy, Heritage, Moonlight, Westminster and Willoughby models.
If a hearth is not fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance from the base
of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at least 72mm
.
Where there is no floor covering or carpet and the floor is of a type that is likely to
be covered in such a way in the future then the distance from the base of the
fireplace opening in the wall to the floor level should be increased to at least
147mm.
Luxor and Opulent models.
If a reduced depth hearth is fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance
from the base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at
least 72mm
. It is recommended that the reduced hearth has a depth from the
fixing plane of the fire of 100mm minimum. This is necessary to support the lower
front casting. Where there is no floor covering or carpet and the floor is of a type
that is likely to be covered in such a way in the future then the distance from the
base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the floor level should be increased to at
least 147mm.

To protect from the risk of burns and ignition of clothing a tactile separator shall be
used. The hearth detailed in section 3.8 meets the requirements for a tactile
separator. If this is not used then a 625mm long fender, kerb, horizontal bar, or
other barrier, being fixed not less than 50mm above floor level and positioned
300mm in front of the fixing plane of the fire will meet the requirement.
