5.7 Fireplace clearances.
5.7.1
To meet temperature requirements the minimum allowable distance from the
outside of the appliance fascia to a corner wall having combustible material or any
other combustible surface which projects beyond the front of the appliance is 100mm
at either side (See figure 2). Although no side clearance is necessary to non-
combustible surfaces we recommend a 100mm clearance for service access to the
fascia side fixings and for operating the slider control.
5.7.2
Allow a minimum clearance of
95mm
from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from
combustible or non-
combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off
for servicing.
For a shelf made from
wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
the minimum clearance must be as below.
For a shelf up to 150mm deep
: Minimum clearance = 95mm.
For a shelf deeper than 150mm
: 95mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See figure 3).
