Material Clearances
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of at least 150mm
must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of the stove to obtain maximum heat
output and for access to the rear of the stove.
All non-combustible walls closer than 300mm to the stove should be at least 75mm thick.
In all instances the hearth should be made of non-combustible material.
If the back wall of the fireplace is closer than 650mm to the rear of the stove, it should also be made of
non-combustible material.
Allow an apron of a least 300mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side.
The hearth on which the stove is to be placed should not be less than 125mm thick and should be in
accordance with the current building regulations.
Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing
construction does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) should be
taken to achieve it.
