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
material such as wood are allowed providing
they are outside the minimum clearances shown
below.
A
Mantel needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the glass
B
Maximum mantel depth at 400 mm (A) is 250 mm maximum
C
Surround needs to be a minimum of 400 mm away from the edge of the glass
For every 50 mm of added mantel depth there must be an additional 100 mm of clearance from the
edge of the glass. For example:
Mantel depth A: clearance required
300 mm
350 mm
400 mm
500 mm
600 mm
700 mm
400 mm
1000 mm
