SITE REQUIREMENTS
a)
Cavity box
Where the fire is to be fitted into any kind of enclosure, flue or false wall, heat will rise up into
the void behind. This may cause shelves to overheat and where the top of the void is open
(such as a flue or cavity wall) a ‘pull’ to develop behind the appliance which could disturb the
flame. To prevent this, the void areas must be closed off.
b)
Fireplace opening
The appliance requires an opening with the following dimensions.
Width - 670mm to 700mm
Height - 785mm to 820mm
Depth - 245mm minimum
Note – It is important to observe clearances to combustible materials and these will differ
depending on the installation method chosen. (See following sections)
c)
Any combustible materials directly behind or to the sides of the fire box assembly must be
removed and replaced with suitable non-combustible material such as a rigid non-combustible
insulating board, a minimum thickness of 50 mm rock wool or similar non-combustible
material, cement or similar. Refer to the relevant installation requirements of Section 7.0 for
further details.
d)
The fire surround, back panel, wall and all paints / lacquers etc. must be classed as non-
combustible with a minimum temperature rating of 150°C. Please ensure this is the case and if
necessary check with the manufacturer, as we cannot be held responsible for subsequent
damage.
Adequate clearances must be provided between any surround, wall or back panel and the fire
to allow it to expand in the fireplace opening. Failure to do this may crack the fireplace back
panel.
To prevent heat from entering the area between the fireplace back panel and wall, the void
must be blocked or packed with a non-flammable material.
