Fire Safety
Clearances to Combustible Materials
A major cause of oven-related property re is failure to maintain the required clearances (air spaces) between
the oven and combustible materials. When planning the location for your oven, ensure that you maintain
clearances to all combustible materials, including but not limited to nearby walls, posts, ceiling structures and
vegetation.
If the oven is being built in close proximity to a structure (eg� beneath a pergola), the clearance from
combustible materials to the ue can be reduced by using a twin or triple skin ventilated ue system. If you’re
planning to do this the ue must be specied and installed by a licensed professional to ensure that the ue
system is compliant with the relevant standards and local laws for your area.
If in doubt, contact a qualied plumber or your local re authority for more information.
