5.7 Hearth / plinth requirements.
For installations that are elevated and recessed.
The Dream/Masquerade/Excelsior models are fitted with a fire front casting
set that is not secured to the fire. It will therefore be necessary for a hearth / plinth to
be fitted. The recommended minimum depth of the hearth / plinth from the fixing
plane of the fire is 100mm.
For installations that are not elevated.
This appliance does not require a non-combustible hearth. It can be installed on
any hard surface. This surface should be level and sufficiently flat to enable the
bottom of the fascia / fire front casting to be aligned horizontally. Any unevenness
(Uneven tiles, Cotswold stone etc.) should be rectified.
The appliance must not stand on carpet or other textured surfaces which may
interfere with the flow of convection air through the bottom of the appliance.
The floor surface that must be free of carpets, rugs or other fabric coverings should
be at least as wide as the appliance fascia and project forward at least 300mm from
the rear wall. In order to prevent carpet etc. being placed within this area, we strongly
recommend that the appliance is installed on a raised hearth or that the periphery of
this area is bordered by a fender.
