Mendip Stoves ASHCOTT WIDE Guide D'utilisation Et Mode D'emploi page 9

MINIMUM DISTANCE to NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized non - combus�ble fireplace but a permanent free air gap of
at least 50mm must be le� around the sides, the top and the back of the stove; this is to facilitate a
reasonable heat output and allows access to the stove for removal and maintenance. A clearance of
100mm will give a be�er heat output. All non - combus�ble walls closer than 100mm to the stove should
be at least 75mm thick. For prac�cal reasons the back wall of the fireplace recess and the hearth should
ideally be made of non -combus�ble material. When installing your stove in a non combus�ble chamber,
combus�ble materials should not be located where the heat dissipa�ng through the walls of fireplaces or
flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combus�ble materials due
account must be taken of the guidance on the separa�on of combus�ble material given in Building
Regula�ons Approved Document J and also in these stove instruc�ons. The minimum distances to
flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove.
To ensure that the stove has sufficient air flow available to it during opera�on, please allow at least 40mm
of clearance from the back of the air intake to the rear wall. This means that if you are installing your stove
between 50mm and 100mm away from a non - combus�ble wall, it may be necessary to remove the intake
spigot.
HEARTH
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not
independently supported. The Ashco� stove has been tested and is suitable to be installed on a 12 mm
non combus�ble plate, such as 12 mm glass plates. Installa�on of all hearths should comply in size and
construc�on so that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regula�ons Approved
Document J.
The clearance distances to combus�ble material beneath, surrounding or on the hearth and walls adjacent
to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separa�on of combus�ble material given in Building
Regula�ons Approved Document J and also in these stove instruc�ons.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combus�ble material at
least 12 mm thick, in accordance with Building Regula�ons Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm
in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combus�on chamber.
