relatively flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the
appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a material capable of
withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wall paper and dry-lined
plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and
embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as
scorching and or discoloration may occur over time.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall
then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be
confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier is not
damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not damaged.
The appliance may be positioned as close to a solid floor (i.e. stone, wooden laminate etc.)
as the particular design of fireframe permits, however it is not permitted to install the
appliance within 100mm of carpet, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is
measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance frame.
Wall Discolouration
As this fire produces heat, convected air will rise from under the fire passing behind and
around the firebox to the ceiling, this convected air can carry dust particles, cigarette
smoke and other fine substances from within the room which may over a period of time
slightly discolour decorative surfaces above the fire.
Plaster Walls
Some types of plastered walls may produce small cracks, if there is any concern regarding
the type of plaster non-combustible slips, such as marble, stone or tile should be used to
protect the area immediately above the fire.
