7. Ventilation
7.1 This appliance requires no additional ventilation.
8. Appliance Location
If fitting this appliance with a decorative frame it
cannot be installed with the base of the appliance less
than 150mm from the floor level. The frame requires a
minimum clearance to allow air to circulate.
If this appliance is fitted less than 150mm from the
floor, then it will require a hearth to protect the floor.
The hearth should have a minimum dimension of
12mm thick, projecting 300mm in front and 150mm
either side of the appliance.
8.1 The minimum opening dimensions are shown in Diagram 4.

8.2 This appliance must not be installed in a room that contains
a bath or shower.
8.3 NOTE: If using natural materials for the back panel of
the fireplace, it is recommended that it is constructed
from three or more sections to prevent cracking. Resin-
based materials may not be suitable. This appliance is
an effective heat producer and attention must be paid to
the construction and finish of the fireplace.
8.4 This appliance is not suitable for installation onto a
combustible wall; all combustible materials must be removed
from the area shown in Diagrams 5.

STUDWORK INSTALLATION
8.5 If a studwork installation is used (eg. wooden framework and
plasterboard), combustible parts of the studwork must not
be any closer than the minimum dimensions shown in the
diagrams. NOTE: These dimensions must be maintained
even if the combustible materials is protected by non-
combustible linings.
8.6 Do not pack the void around or above the appliance with
insulation materials such as mineral wool.
8.7 The void into which the cassette is fitted must be ventilated
to prevent a build up of heat. If the void is sealed then it will
be necessary to fit high level vents on both sides of the
cavity of approximately 200cm2 each. These vents should
take cold air from the room and return warm air back into
the room.
8.8 A removable access hatch must be left in the side of the
chimney breast for future servicing and inspection of the
appliance.
8.9 Build the studwork chimney breast to the desired size. Ensure
that the clearances to combustible materials is maintained.
PROTECT THE NEAREST STUDWORK WITH NON-
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AND MAINTAIN THESE
DIMENSIONS AT ALL TIMES, SEE DIAGRAM 6.

8.10 It is recommended that a marble slip or similar material is
used when fitting cassette fireplaces into a plastered
surface, in order to allow for heat dissipation. Also allow
adequate time for newly plastered areas to dry out. Rapid
drying can create cracks. If in doubt, seek the advice of a
professional plasterer.
8.11 Parts of this appliance become hot during normal use. It is
therefore recommended that a suitable fire guard be used
for protection of young children and the infirm.
