The heater can be mounted only on a non-combustible hearth, and can be fitted into a suitable fire surround. The heater can be installed on a normal brick wall from the inside of a building making it ideal for rooms where access from the outside is difficult, for example multi-storey buildings.
4.0 SAFETY 4.1 Due to high temperature, the appliance should be located away from furniture and curtains. 4.2 Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. 4.3 Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance.
