1.5 Positioning the stove
Distance to walls and lintel
When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and national
building regulations with regards to clearances. Whatever regulations apply to your area, do
not in any case install the stove within 8 inches of combustible materials around the sides or 16
inches above the top of the stove. These distances may need to be increased if the materials
are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decorative materials may become de-
tached with the effects of heat and care should be taken to ensure that they do not fall towards
the stove in such an event.
When the stove is positioned near non-combustible materials, a gap of 4 inches or more is
recommended for cleaning purposes and to ensure that heat circulates around the stove and
out into the room.
