Appliance Location

The appliance is designed to be fitted through a non-combustible back panel mounted on an
outside wall. Alternatively the appliance may be fitted into a false chimney breast, a deep
rebated fire surround or a redundant fireplace, sited on an outside wall. The appliance may be
sited at floor level or as a raised 'hole in the wall' installation.
1. In all installations we recommend a non-combustible back panel is fitted behind the
appliance, taking into consideration the 30mm clearance requirement between it
and the rear of the appliance. A flue spacer is supplied for this purpose. We do not
recommend installing the appliance against a plastered wall without a back panel.
The non-combustible panel should extend at least 300mm above the top of the
stove and be at least the width of the stove, plus 150mm each side. While the
temperature of the wall behind and above the stove does not reach a dangerous
level, there is still a risk that the plaster may crack, or the wall covering may be
marked.
2. Hearths, floor protection and carpets
This appliance does not need a hearth and can be used on wooden, laminate floors
and non-combustible surfaces. It must not be placed directly onto carpets or rugs.
Where the floor is carpeted, the carpet must finish 100mm clear of the appliance
base and be fully removed underneath. Loose rugs should be kept well away from
the appliance (warn the customer of this).
Standing the appliance directly on a floor can lead to discolouration and / or drying
out.
When a hearth is used, the top surface can be wood but be aware that heat can
discolour certain finishes over a period of time and can dry out poorly seasoned
wood causing splitting. The hearth should be 100mm larger than the appliance all
round and minimum 12mm thick. Carpets can come to the edge of the hearth.
The different types of wall materials have different installation requirements. If the appliance is
to be installed in a timber framed building, the recommendations of IGE/UP/7 Edition 2 Gas
installations in timber framed and light steel framed buildings available from the IGEM
must be followed.
