HEARTH DIMENSIONS
The appliance must stand on either a constructional
hearth with the minimum dimensions as shown in

Or a 12mm thick non-combustible board/sheet material
or tiles, of the minimum dimensions shown.
If you are fitting the appliance into an existing hearth
setting, check that it complies with the current
construction regulations and is at least the minimum sizes
shown.
If you have no existing fireplace or chimney, it is possible
to construct a suitable non-combustible housing and
hearth setting. However this should be constructed to
comply with the requirements of both current national
and local regulations with the design approved by your
local building control officer, masonry chimney systems
built with clay or concrete liners or pre-fabricated block
systems should be constructed in accordance with BS

comply with BS 4543 : Part 2 and be installed to BS 7566
: Parts 1 to 4.
