SHELF POSITION
The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 300mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional
overhang over 150mm.

This appliance does not require the fitting of a hearth that projects in front of it
when installed into a recess in either an existing chimney breast or a studded wall.
