Installation distance to combustible wall
To find out whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flammable, you should
contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must be
independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of the stove is indicated
in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a noncombustible hearth of a size and construction that is in
accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a noncombustible
material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with UK Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a
distance of 300 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm to each side measuring from the door of the com
bustion chamber.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls ad
jacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in
UK Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove
instructions.
Inform the user that the appliance has been commissioned and ready to use and give instruction on the
safe operation of the stove.
These Instructions must be left with the user and the user should be instructed to keep them in a safe
place.
