Do NOT connect the heater to a chimney serving another appliance.
Although the exterior of the heater may appear cool, contact with the unit may cause
burns, warn children and others of the possibility of injury should they touch the
heater.

3. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
The heater should always be installed on top of its base due to high temperatures
sustained over long periods. The base must be anchored to both the floor protector and
the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor points are provided in the base.
If the heater is installed on or within 500mm of a heat sensitive floor,
then an ash
floor protector using a minimum of 6mm thick tiles will be required.
This
floor protector shall extend under the appliance and not less than 00mm beyond the
front of the fuel loading or ash removal openings. The width of the floor protector
shall be not less than the width of the appliance, and shall extend not less than 200mm
from each side of the fuel loading or ash removal openings unless it forms an abutment
with a wall or heat shield at a lesser distance.
Where the floor protector consists of a number of components, it shall include a
continuous layer of heat-resistant material extending under the appliance to the
perimeter of the floor protector. All joints shall be fixed to prevent accidental
separation, and shall be sealed to prevent any spilt ash or embers contacting any heat
sensitive material.
