Hearth/ Material Clearances
Hearth constructions must comply with the current building regulations.
Your stove must be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity, otherwise suitable measures should be
taken.
If the existing construction does not meet this pre-requisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) should
be put in place.
Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet.
MATERIAL CLEARANCES
Combustible Material
**Note: To achieve the specified distances to combustible materials, twin-wall insulated flue pipe must be used,
starting no higher than 95mm above the stove. The optional rear and upper heat shields must be fitted to achieve
these distances. The standard clearance without these would revert to 900mm. Combustible material refers to any
material that will degrade when subjected to heat e.g. plaster.

The rear heat shield is
already fitted on the
Aspect 5 Slimline, Aspect 8
and Aspect 8 Slimline. The
others are optional. The
flue heat shield is an
optional extra. However,
when installing to
combustible material both
heat shields must be fitted.
