mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround. No
combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be
established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the
appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before
proceeding with their installation.
The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is
relatively flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the
appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a material capable of
withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wall paper and dry-lined
plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and
embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as
scorching and or discolouration may occur over time.
The appliance may be positioned as close to a solid floor (i.e. stone, wooden laminate etc.)
as the particular design of fireframe permits, however it is not permitted to install the
appliance onto carpet, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. In a situation where the
appliance is installed at floor level in a carpeted room or space with a fabric floor covering
then a non combustible hearth with a minimum projection into the room of 100mm and a
minimum width of 820mm must be used.
Clearances to non-combustibles
Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a
number of man-made materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material
manufacturer for further information before proceeding with installation.
Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 50mm (2in). Clearance to the front of the
appliance is 500mm (20in).
The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing
it is relatively flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of
the appliance.
The appliance may be installed with or without a non combustible hearth. If a hearth is
fitted, the size and design may be as desired.
A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is
no closer than 400mm from the top of the appliance glass panel.
Wall Discolouration
As this fire produces heat, convected air will rise from under the fire passing behind and
around the firebox to the ceiling, this convected air can carry dust particles, cigarette
smoke and other fine substances from within the room which may over a period of time
slightly discolour decorative surfaces above the fire.
Plaster Walls
Some types of plastered walls may produce small cracks, if there is any concern regarding
the type of plaster non-combustible slips, such as marble, stone or tile should be used to
protect the area immediately above the fire.
Ventilation And Room Size.
Purpose provided ventilation of 100cm

is required for this appliance. An openable window
or equivalent is also required.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation
fitted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may
adversely affect performance of the combustion monitoring system (ODS) system.
The requirements of other appliances operating in the space or room must be taken into
consideration when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by
your CORGI registered installer.
