National and Local Building Regulations must again be observed when considering the type,
thickness and area of the hearth to be used in the installation. The hearth temperature under
safety test was less than 65°C.
One should of course always make certain that the underlying floor surface can bear the weight
of the stove.
Clearances to Furniture
The clearance requirement from the stove to any furniture should be no less than 800 mm. It is
always necessary to assess whether or not any furniture or other objects situated close-by can
be affected by heat, i.e. dried out.
The distance to any combustible material in front of the stove is minimum 800 mm.
The surface of a wood burning stove gets extremely hot when used and therefore special at-
tention to safety is paramount, especially where children or the infirm are present.
The stoves handle also gets hot when the stove is lit, which is why a safety glove is in-
cluded with the stove.

Only if National or Local Regulations permit are you permitted to connect a stove into a chim-
ney that is shared by another appliance. YOU MUST be aware of any applicable Regulations

or appliance is connected.
An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney, and you should have the
chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney sweep.
