Clearances from combustibles
The clearances listed below, measured from the edge of the inner glass, are
minimum clearances unless otherwise stated.
While the heater is operating
The appliance must not be installed where
curtains or other combustible materials could
come into contact with the heater. The
400 mm side clearance includes side walls.
Floor protection
Heat from this fire may over time affect
the appearance of some materials used for
flooring, such as, carpet, vinyl, cork or timber.
This may be amplified if the air contains
cooking vapours or cigarette smoke. To avoid
this occurring, it is recommended that a mat
be placed in front of this appliance.
Hearths
A hearth is not necessary, but can be used for
decorative purposes or protection of sensitive
flooring. A hearth, if installed, must not
obscure the front of the fire.
TV installation above the fireplace
The Neo has a fan that distributes warm air
from the top of the appliance out into the
room. As warm air is dispersed outwards, as
opposed to directly upwards, installation of a
TV may be an option.
Generally the bottom of the television
recess should be at least 400 mm above
the fire. Please check with the television
supplier to check clearances. Some television
manufacturers have warranty conditions that
state a television is not to be installed above a
fireplace.
For further information, refer to p. 12.

Mantels and surrounds - inbuilt models only
Combustible mantels and surrounds require clearance from the unit to minimise
fire danger. Mantels and surrounds, made of combustible materials such as wood,
are allowed providing they are outside the minimum clearances shown.
