SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Basic opening sizes (all dimensions in mm)
The basic opening dimensions for the appliance are as follows;
The opening must be within these sizes in order to accommodate
the full depth of the fire box in non-combustible applications.
Applications involving combustible materials e.g. timber battens
in false chimney breasts, must use appropriate clearances and
insulation methods as described in the relevant section of these
instructions. Opening depth
‘c’
includes any plaster, cement or
infill/back panels that form part of the installation.
Consideration for cable fixings, any hearth that may be required
etc. should be made in addition to the basic sizes given in table 1.
•
Cable fixings at rear - allow an extra 20mm depth.
•
Hearth to be installed - allow the height of the hearth (minimum
50mm).
The appliance must be sited on a solid base (indicated in figure
1). This base may be combustible (i.e. laminate or wooden floor-
ing) but must not be carpet or fabric of any kind. If the room in
which the appliance is to be installed is carpeted or has a fabric
floor covering then a small solid hearth will be required, meeting
the dimensions specified in table 1 and illustrated in figure 2.
In all installations, the wall or back panel of the installation must be flat, non-combustible and meet the
dimensions specified in table 1 and illustrated in figure 2.
The appliance may be installed as a ‘hole in the wall’ type installation, however a small hearth or ledge must
be provided to support the base of the appliance and decorative facia. In this situation the thickness of the
hearth or ledge may be as desired, but it must have the strength to support the weight of the appliance and
the facia.
