Clearances From Combustibles - Rinnai Evolve 952 Series Installation Manual

Clearances from combustibles

The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the glass, are minimum
clearances unless otherwise stated.
While the heater is operating
The appliance must not be installed where
curtains or other combustible materials could
come into contact with the fire. The 400 mm
side clearance includes side walls. The 1000
mm clearance is in front of the fire.
Floor protection
Heat emanating from this fire may over time
affect the appearance of some materials
used for flooring, such as, carpet, vinyl, cork
or timber. This may be amplified if the air
contains cooking vapours or cigarette smoke.
To avoid this occurring, it is recommended
that a mat be placed in front of the appliance.
Mantels and surrounds
Combustible mantels and surrounds require
clearance from the unit to minimise the
risk of fire. Mantels and surrounds, made
of combustible materials such as wood,
are allowed providing they are outside the
minimum clearances shown.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
flooring if required. A hearth must not obscure
the front of the fire or obstruct the fire in any
way (including the frame around the fire).
