Note 1: The safety distances can be reduced by 50% when using single light shielding and 75% when using double light shielding.
Note 2: The safety distances can be reduced by 25% when using single light shielding and 50% when using double light shielding.
Single light shielding can be provided by a non-combustible fibre-reinforced cement plate at least 7mm (1/4") thick, or a sheet metal plate at least 1mm thick and attached with sufficient fasteners.
Double shielding can be provided with two of the above plates.
The sheets should be attached to the back, and to each other with screws. A space of at least 30mm (1 1/4") should be left between the protecting plate and the surface needing protecting.
Brickwork 55mm (2") thick, 30mm (1 1/4") from the surface needing protecting is equivalent to single light shielding. Similar brickwork 110mm (4") thick, 30mm (1 1/4") from the surface needing protecting is equivalent to double light shielding.
A wooden floor must be protected. A metal sheet must be at least as wide as the stove, and extend 400mm (16") in front of the stove.
A free space of 1000mm must be left in front of the stove for maintenance.
REGULATIONS OF LOCAL FIRE AUTHORITIES MUST BE OBSERVED IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
