Clearances to combustible materials

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame. Generally, any mate-

rial, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should be considered as a combustible mate-

rial or surface. Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4”) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted

within a distance of 500mm (20”) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appliance regardless

of distance. 

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm (31.5”) measured from the top of the appliance glass panel.

Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre.

Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma/LCD screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the

appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround.

No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be established that any mirrors or pic-

ture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat

and moisture before proceeding with their installation.

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does not interfere

with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a mate-

rial capable of withstanding moderate heat. Brick, concrete, finished plaster, most types of conventional wall paper and dry-lined

plasterboard are usually examples of suitable materials, however as there are many methods of wall construction and many vari-

ations in the composition of construction materials, in some circumstances, cracking may occur to plasterwork. Materials such

as flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and

or discolouration may occur over time. Avoid siting the appliance near joins or joints in plasterboard as exposure to moderate

heat may cause cracking along the joint line.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the

wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control bar-

rier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not damaged - refer to section 7.0.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 100 mm (4”) of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of any kind.  This

dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

A minimum of 100 cm

2

purpose provided ventilation MUST be provided for this appliance. This may be achieved either with one

vent 100 cm

at a high or low position in the room, or split ventilation i.e. 50cm

2

be installed at high level and 50cm

2

be installed

at low level within the room.  An openable window or equivalent is also required. 

To reduce the possibility of draughts, road noise or insects entering the room via the air vent, we recommend the use an air vent

of the type that feature internal baffles.  The requirements of any other gas, oil or solid fuel appliances operating in the same room

or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.  Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 4

and BS 5440 part 2. 

Ventilation fitted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of

the ODS system. The appliance shall not be installed within one metre of any existing air vent, and any new air vent shall not be

installed within one metre of the appliance. 

For Republic of Ireland refer to the current edition of IS813 and any relevant rules in force. 

Remove the outer packaging, remove any instructions or fixing kits. Read ALL these instructions before continuing to unpack or

install this appliance. Lift off the remaining packaging components and remove the contents of the box. Check that the compo-

nents supplied correlate with the component checklist. Please dispose of all the packaging materials at your local recycling centre.
