Clearances from combustibles
The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the inner 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 heater. The 1000 mm
clearance above is the clearance to a ceiling. The
400 mm side clearance includes side walls.
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 this 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.
Wall surface above the fire
The temperature of the wall surface directly
above the fire may get warm and distort
paint finishes, or distort vinyl wall coverings.
For durability of surfaces, please contact the
manufacturer for their specification.
C
A Mantel needs to be a min. of 400 mm away from the
edge of the inner glass.
B Max. mantel depth at 400 mm (A) is 250 mm max.
C Surround needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away
from the edge of the inner glass.
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth there must be
an additional 100 mm of clearance from the edge of the
inner glass. For example:
