ii) Hearth
Heat is radiated from the bottom of this
fireplace. It is therefore important to
ensure that the fireplace is installed on a
non-combustible surface.
A popular example of such a surface is a
floor, tiled with ceramic tiles.
Do not install this unit directly onto
wooden or carpet floors. For these areas
a non-combustible hearth must be placed
underneath the unit.
The size of the heart must cover at least
the area underneath the unit with a border
of 100mm all round and 200mm in front
of the unit.
A popular example of such a hearth is a
marble, or granite slab.
iii) Roof / ceiling influence
It is important to take into account all
requirements for the flue height, flue
protection and the flue termination, before
making a final decision on the location of
the fireplace in the room.

b) Roof & Ceiling requirements
i) Flue length
NOTE: It is important to note that the correct
installation of the flue will ensure that the
unit functions properly. Deviation from these
requirements would lead to un-satisfactory
performance.
The length of the flue must be at least
3.6m.
The standard number of flues supplied
is 3 x 1.2m flues with a sliding section
that can add up to 1m additional flue
length.
The desired positioning of the unit in
combination with the roof height and
angle, can dictate that a longer flue than
the standard 4.6m would be required.
Additional flue lengths are available in
standard lengths of 1.2m.
NOTE: Longer flue lengths could cause an
excessive draw through the flue pipe. This
could result in less heat being transferred
into the room. To counteract this an additional
damper flue section can be purchased and
installed as the first flue section on top of
the unit.
