6.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS -
wall coverings which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.
It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room surround-
ings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco
smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry
the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural
members of the house frame are not damaged.
If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional
advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.

7.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are
dependant on the mounting location as defined below:
a) Wall Mounted:
The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 500mm.
The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 100mm.
The minimum distance to the front of the applaince is 500mm.
The appliance can be wall mounted at floor level, providing it does not stand on a carpet or similar material. Allow clearance to
carpets of 30mm. A shelf may be mounted above the appliance provided it meets the requirements for shelfs as detailed in b)
below.
b) Floor/Fireplace Mounted:
If mounted into a fireplace surround, ensure that the minimum clearance distances to mantles and/or any shelves fitted above the
appliance are as follows:
6" or (152mm)
When installed with a combustible fire surround, the ability of the surround to withstand prolonged moderate
heat must be assured.
