IMPORTANT: Seek specialist
advice if installing in a dwelling
with a thatched roof
2.1 The appliance must stand on a non-combustible
constructional hearth which is at least 125mm thick with
the minimum dimensions as shown in diagram.
2.2 If this appliance can be installed in an elevated setting it
is recommended to increase the 225mm hearth depth to
safely contain any falling logs or embers. The higher the
appliance is installed the deeper the hearth should be to
avoid scorched floor coverings.
2.3 The building must have a suitable load-bearing capacity for
the hearth and appliance. Consult a structural engineer
for advice before proceeding.
2.4 When fitting into an existing hearth check that the hearth
complies with current construction regulations and is at least
the minimum sizes shown.
2.5 If there is no existing fireplace or chimney it is possible to
construct a suitable non-combustible housing and hearth
setting. The flue must be installed in accordance with all
local and national regulations and current rules in force.
Check if adding a new chimney to your property requires
planning permission.
