Unit installation

4.2 Ventilation requirements.
No special ventilation bricks or vents into the room containing the appliance are
required.
4.3 Fireguard requirements.
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm and pet animals.
Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it is a heating appliance
and certain parts of its surface will become hot.
4.4 Room considerations.
It is advisable that combustible fabrics such as curtains are not fitted above the fire. If,
however, this is unavoidable, a clearance of at least 150mm must be maintained from
the extreme bottom edge of the fabric to the extreme top surface of the fire.
4.5 The hearth.
The appliance can be installed with or without a non-combustible hearth. If a non-
combustible hearth is installed, there must be a minimum clearance from the top
surface of the hearth to the absolute bottom of the appliance of 18mm (See figure 1).
The hearth must be at least 700mm wide x 300mm deep. The non-combustible
hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. Its top surface should be preferably
50mm above floor level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it. If the
appliance is not installed with a hearth meeting the above conditions, the minimum
distance from the top surface of the finished floor covering (including any carpet etc.)
to the absolute bottom of the appliance must be at least 40mm (See figure 1).
