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 heater.
The 400 mm side clearance includes side
walls. The 1000 mm clearance is in front of
the fire.
Floor protection
Heat 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 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 or obstruct
the fire in any way (including the frame
around 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.
