Min: 305mm

Height Max: 610mm*

Min. 510mm * Though the total height of the closure plate will accommodate a maximum opening height of 650mm, heights abov e 61 0mm will lea ve t he clos ure plate and sealing tape visible above the appliance. The appliance must be mounted on a noncombustible hearth (N.B. conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The hearth must be at lea st 8 80mm w ide x 3 00mm de ep. The hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of the hea rth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor level to discourage the placing of carpets or ru gs over it. The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O ” 100“C or 150°C su rr ou n d .

Min. 305mm Height: Max. 610mm*

Min. 376mm * Though the total height of the closure plate will accommodate a maximum opening height of 650mm, heights abov e 61 0mm will lea ve t he clos ure plate and sealing tape visible above the appliance. The bottom of the side feet must be at least 102mm above the finished floor covering. This requires that the top of the opening must be at least 612mm above the finished floor covering.

Precast fl u e The appliance can be insta lled to a f ireplace t hat has a precast concrete or clay flue block system conforming to BS1289. The appliance is suitable for installations conforming to older versions of BS1289 as well as the curr ent edition. The flue blocks must have a minimum widt h not less than 63 mm and a cross-sectional area not less than 13,000mm

Older editions of BS1289 required a cross-sectional area of 13,000mm

. The current revision of the standard

requires 16,500mm

. This appliance is suitable in both cases. The chimney should be one or two storeys high but not less than 3m vertical height and be correctly terminated. No mortar fangs between the blocks should be extruded into the flueway. If raking blocks are used, they must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Mortar must not be allowed to drop dow n and accumulate in the raked positions. The fireplace opening must be within the following dimensions: Width: Max. 457mm
