2.3SHELF HEIGHT AND SIDE CLEARANCES

The fire may be fitted beneath a shelf.

2.3.1 COMBUSTIBLE SHELF

The underside of a combustible shelf not more than 150mm deep must be at least 923mm from the hearth which gives a clearance of 237mm above the fire. For deeper shelves, add 13mm shelf height for every 25mm increase in depth. For every 25mm decrease in shelf depth subtract 13mm from the shelf height.

2.3.2 NON-COMBUSTIBLE SHELF

The underside of a non-combustible shelf not more than 75mm deep must be at least 25mm above the top of the fire. This clearance is necessary for outer case removal. For deeper shelves, allow 13mm in shelf height for every 25mm increase in depth.

SIDE CLEARANCES:

A clearance of at least 25mm must be left on either side of the fire to facilitate removal of the outer case during servicing.

FIRE SURROUND:

The fire is suitable for purpose-made proprietary hearths/surrounds with temperature rating of 150oC.
