Mechanical ventilation, the stove must be connected
to an external air supply, The ductwork for the exter-
nal air supply must be no longer than 6 metres and
the air inlet terminal to the ductwork must have a
cross sectional area of at least 80cm2.

LOCATION

selecting a location for your Cara + Insert Stove.

locations are usually best.

combustibles.

nance work.

Clearances to Combustibles

This appliance must be installed in a recess, the
recess should not contain any combustible material.
Wood battens and plaster board should not be used
within the clearance to combustibles. The minimum
clearance to combustibles required is as follows:
To the Top
To the Front
From the Sides
To Combustible Flooring

Fig 14
200mm (8")
550mm (22")
150mm (6")
350mm (14")
If the mantlepiece protrudes further than 100mm
from the fireplace, then it will be necessary to have
further clearance to the top of the stove. The dis-
tance the mantle protrudes past the 100mm should
be added to the clearance.
For example, if the mantle protrudes 200mm, the
clearance to the mantle should be 300mm. (See
Figs 13 & 14).
