Mantle Clearance:
Mantles or ledges made from combustible materials must adhere to specified dimensions. Ensure a 30mm clearance around the fascia for removal ease.

Hearth Requirements:
A non-combustible hearth must extend at least 300mm from the fire front if installed at floor level. For heat-sensitive floor coverings, extend the hearth to 450mm.

Raising the Fire:
No hearth is required if the fire base is more than 100mm off the ground. A four-sided fascia is recommended.

Minimum interior wall size and flue position are specified for corner installations.

Electrical Equipment Clearance:
Recommended clearances for electrical equipment above the gas fire are provided, with options for shelf or recessed mounting.
