3.3.1 Building the Fireplace
Construct a studwork fireplace to the desired sizes, minimum sizes are shown in section 3.3.2. Any
combustible material used to construct the Fireplace must not be closer than the minimum dimensions
quoted in section 3.3 above. These dimensions must be observed even if the frame work will be
protected by non-combustible material.
!!! Do not use insulation material (or other) to pack the void around or above the appliance.
!!! Provide ventilation from the fireplace to the minimum amount quoted in 3.3 above.
!!! Provide a cut-out for the Control Access Door.
3.3.2 Built-In Fireplace Sizing
For the sizing of the fireplace we would like to refer to the drawings of the appliances (in the end of
this manual). Also the dimensions of the access door you can find there.
Please look closely at the following points:
 Make sure there is a min gap of 2 mm between the appliance and the plasterwork. It is possible
that the appliance expands a bit. If the appliance is built in too tight, the plasterwork will crack.
 Take care of enough air inlet (bottom) and outlet (top) in the Fireplace/column. Please look at
paragraph 3.3.
 Make sure that the back of the appliance is not against a wall. There should be a gap of at least
50 mm!!
