If this appliance is installed in an elevated setting (Highline) it is
recommended to increase the 225mm hearth depth to safely
contain any falling logs or embers. The higher the appliance
is installed the deeper the hearth should be to avoid
scorched floor coverings.

and any non-combustible materials to allow for either:
— Installation, servicing or accessing controls.
— Convection in order for the appliance to function properly.

servicing/convection is:
Rear - 25mm Sides 50mm Top 100mm

combustible material which might be placed against it.
