METHOD TWO - INSET ON HEARTH OR INSET WALL MOUNTED
This method allows for the appliance to be inset with the 60mm spacer attached into a wall or
fireplace opening. The appliance case has a 90mm deep spacer that needs to be removed and the
corresponding deep brackets need to be taken off the case.
Note these are the only spacer and
brackets to be removed and the smaller bracket and spacer must be left in place.
The appliance
gets very hot and could cause burns therefore if wall mounting without a hearth then care should
be taken to avoid gangways and congested areas. Care should also be taken with curtains and soft
furnishings to ensure there is no possibility of them touching the appliance.
Hearths -
For hearth mounting (or if the
fire is less than 200mm above the
ground) then the hearth must protrude
at least 100mm in front of the fire and
50mm to either side. A minimum hearth
of 732mm wide x 207mm deep is
required; the hearth must be a minimum
of 12mm thick and be of a non
combustible material. The surface on
which the appliance is to stand must be
flat, level and square to the back panel.
Failure to observe this could result in the
appliance leaning away from the
fireplace.
If the appliance is fitted on the wall,
more than 200mm above the ground then a hearth is not required.
The hearth and back panel must be made from a non-combustible material although ‘lightweight’
and tiled surrounds can be used provided they have a minimum heat rating of 150
o
c.
Consideration should be given to expansion and contraction caused by temperature. Back panels
should be allowed to float or be attached with flexible mastic on the extreme edges.
Fireplace opening sizes –
Height – 500 minimum
570 maximum
Width – 350 minimum
465 maximum
The fireplace opening must be a minimum of 100mm deep
Ensure adequate clearance from the fire to allow it to expand in the fireplace opening or it may
crack the marble 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.
Fixing -
The appliance should be secured
to the wall using the fixing brackets on
the flange of the appliance. If it is to be
mounted above the ground, care should
be taken to ensure the wall is able to
take the weight of the appliance and
that the fixings are of the correct type.
Use all 6 screw holes in the brackets to
attach to the wall.
If the appliance is hearth mounted the
fixing is intended to prevent the
appliance from moving / toppling and it
is permissible just to use 2 holes in the wall brackets or to drill through the appliance base and
screw it to the floor.
