4.6 Fireplace preparation.

4.6.1 The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class "O" 150°C
surround.
4.6.2 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
4.6.3 The front of the fireplace should be flat over an area sufficient to ensure a good
seal with the closure plate. The flat surface should extend for a height equal to that of
the closure plate plus 20mm and for a width equal to that of the closure plate plus
40mm.
4.6.4 If the fire is to be fitted against a
wall with combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from the area
shown in figure 1.
4.6.5 The space between the fireplace
front face and the back of the fascia
must not be filled in.
4.6.6 If the fireplace opening is greater
than the acceptable dimensions given in
this guide, do not use the back of a fire
surround or marble to reduce the
opening. This may cause cracking of the
surround back or marble.
