CONSTRUCTIONS

The minimum clearances from any

r--

combustible constructions at the front of

the appliance are shown in fig.

These

front clearances apply for all installations

-

whether in solid fuel fireplace, new zero
clearance construction or free standing.
If, it is intended to fit the appliance in a

combustible recess, the Zero Clearance
Kit

#700ZCK (available from your dealer)

must be used as shown in fig.3.

1.5.

FLOOR

The floor in the fireplace recess must be

sufficiently flat and level to support the
appliance satisfactorily. Some fireplace
constructions have

a

well in the floor at
the back which may need to be filled in.
Do not place the appliance on carpeting,

vinyl or other soft-surfaced floor coverings.
Install only on hard surfaced materials.
We recommen'd that a hard surfaced
hearth area be maintained at least

12"

front of the fireplace for both aesthetic and

maintenance purposes. This may be
finished in brick, ceramic tile, marble etc.
Raising the hearth slightly will help to
minimise dust and lint accumulation

under

the unit.
If the appliance is installed directly on any
combustible material other than wood

flooring, the appliance shall be installed on
