GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
LOCATION
When positioning the heater, the main variables governing the location are Flueing and Warm Air Distribution.
Combustible clearances
The heater MUST NOT be installed where
curtains, furniture or other combustible materials
could come into contact with the fire while it is
operating. The 150 mm side clearance, measured
from the edge of the glass, includes side walls.
The 1000 mm clearance is in front of the fire.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary but can be used for
decorative purposes. It MUST NOT obscure the
front of the fire or obstruct the fire in any way. For
more information refer next page.
Floor protection
Heat radiating from the fire may affect the
appearance of some materials used for flooring
such as vinyl planks, carpet, cork, or timber. To
avoid this occurring it is recommended a mat be
placed in front.
Carpet MUST NOT be fitted hard
up against the fire as it will affect
operation
IMPORTANT
Mantels and surrounds
Combustible mantels and surrounds require
clearance from the unit to minimise the risk of fire.
They are allowed providing they are outside the
minimum clearances shown.
The SS850 gas fireplace is not designed to be built
into bookcases.
