1.1.2 Specications
*Note: Consumption will vary with the type of fuel used.
IMPORTANT: The above values were found during testing and may vary with the fuel type, climate and
installation style.
1.1.3 Floor Protection
This pellet heater requires oor protection which must be non-combustible, extending beneath the
stove the full width and depth of the unit including (150mm) in front for ember protection.
AS/NZS2918 states that a 300mm forward projecting and 200mm side projecting oor protector must
be used from any door opening extremity as an absolute minimum. Due to the operating nature of
the Amal pellet heater where opening the door causes a loss of vacuum and the re will shut down
completely, meaning the likelihood of any hot embers or burning fuel escaping from the combustion
chamber is extremely minimal, a 150mm forward projecting oor protector will be sufcient.
