The minimum height from the base of the fireplace opening to the underside of
any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is shown below: -
•
For a shelf up to 150mm deep
Minimum height = 750mm.
•
For a shelf deeper than 150mm
Minimum height = 750mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
(See graph 1).

If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from the area
covered by the fascia. The cladding must also
not touch the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest
that the actual fascia is used as a template to
mark the area for combustible cladding removal
and that this area is increased by at least 2mm
all round. If the cladding projects forward from
the fixing plane of the fire the clearance at the
top of the appliance must be increased to a
minimum 15mm.This will allow for fascia
removal.

the outside of the appliance fascia to a corner
wall having combustible material or any other
combustible surface which projects beyond the
