1.6 Positioning the stove
Distance to walls and lintel
When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and na-
tional 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 (replace installations require greater clear-
ances above the stove - see below in the clearance chart). These distances may need to be
increased if the materials are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decora-
tive materials may become detached with the eects 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.
