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 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.
