standards need to be complied with when installing the stove.
7.2 Installation
The stove must be installed by a registered installer or approved by your local
building control officer.
7.3 Safety
clearances
The stove must be installed with the following minimum safety clearances from
combustible
materials.
Side
400mm
Rear
450mm
If the stove is to be installed in a non combustible recess it is recommended that
100mm clearance is left at the back and sides for maintenance and to allow air to
circulate around the stove.
7.4 Floor
National and local building regulations must be complied with when considering the
floor or hearth where the stove is to be installed. The floor must be capable of
bearing the weight of the stove and the hearth temperature which on test was
measured at 66.4 deg C on full fire.
7.5
Access for cleaning
Although access to the flue can be gained by removing the stove firebox
components, consideration must be given to installing extra access in the flue
system to ensure all sections can be cleaned and maintained.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
For your safety it is very important that your stove is correctly
installed.
Salamander Stoves cannot accept any responsibility for any fault
arising through incorrect installation or use.
