SPECIFIC INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Clearances
If the stoves are to be installed adjacent to materials that can catch fire like
wood then the following clearances must be adhered to:
STOVE
TOP/BACK (mm)
SIDES (mm)
Helios
550
550
The stove can be recessed into a suitably sized fireplace built from non-
combustible materials, but a permanent free air gap of at least 100mm should
be left around the sides and top to obtain maximum heat output and for access
to the rear of the stove.
It is possible to fit the stove with less clearance around it – down to 50mm, but
the non-combustible material around it must be at least 150mm thick. This is
normally achieved when installing into a standard brick-built chimney breast
with double thickness walls to the rear and sides of the builder’s opening. Take
care that the wall finish is suitable to withstand temperatures of up to 200
o
C.
