POSITIONING
The stove must only be installed on floors with an adequate load bearing
capacity and if the existing construction is not suitable, aditional measures
such as a load distributing plate must be provided.
The stove should only be placed on a wooden floor if it has been covered by
a protective metal plate at least 5mm thick or other non-flammable floor
protector such as 20mm ceraform board or other non-combustable material
having a conductivity of K=0.84 BTU/FT2 HR-IN-degF.
Combustable materials such as carpet or linoleum must be removed from
beneath the stove.
When the stove is positioned near a wall constructed of flammable material,
the distances shown on Fig 4 must be adhered to. Alternatively, a heat shield
may be used, mounted according to the position of the fireplace. A firewall
must be at least 100 mm thick and typically made of brick, or concrete/
stone.
It is recommended that the stove be installed 800 mm from furniture and
serious consideration should be given to the positioning of any furniture that
could be adversely affected by heat. The clearance to any combustable
materials should also be a minimum of 800mm.
