Clearances & Installation
- Installed after all gas connections or pipelines in the area are
disconnected and made safe by an appropriately qualied and
licensed professional
- Installed and operated in a xed and secure position before lling,
lighting and operating. Burners are not meant to be moved because
movement creates the risk of accidental fuel spillages. If you move
the Burner, make sure no fuel was spilled before you ignite the
Burner.
- Models from each range (Grate/Renovator/Designer/Outdoor) have
varied installation requirements. Refer to the specic section of the
manual for the detailed requirements of the model purchased.
The best location for your EcoSmart Fire is:
- In a large, open space at least 1500mm [59.1in] away from any
combustible materials, such as curtains, wallpaper, veneer, etc.
- On a level oor – the oor can be made of any material.
- In a rebox made of non-combustible materials, such as steel,
concrete, brick, or stone.
- Positioned so that any accumulation of weather debris/pooling of
water is eliminated.
- NOT INSTALLED DIRECTLY BESIDE OR NEAR WALLPAPER,
LAMINATE, VENEER OR ANY SURFACE THAT HAS NOT BEEN
FIRE RATED (THE HEAT WILL IMPACT THE MATERIAL). REFER TO
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION OF WALLPAPER, LAMINATE, VENEER
OR GLUE FOR HEAT TOLERANCES.
- Installed into a setting that has a straight back – the incorporation of
angled backs alters the aerodynamics of the ame environment and
could lead to an unstable ame behaviour.
- Fitted within a Top Tray that is not more than 200% the size of the
total Burner size.
Please note that:
- Any furniture items or ttings directly above or beside the Burner
installation must be deemed suitable for heat tolerances by
their manufacturer e.g. electronic items including screens and
entertainment equipment, wallpaper, laminates, veneers, glues and
reconstituted materials.
- A heat reective panel made of non-combustible material (ideally
stainless steel) must be installed as the surround and top of the
replace setting to assist in heat distribution. The Fire Company Pty
Ltd is not liable for any injuries or damages sustained through the
use of panels not manufactured by The Fire Company Pty Ltd.
- Glass or mirrored surfaces near the Burner installation must be
toughened.
- In some countries, national or rural restrictions may apply and/
or approvals from building authorities may be required. Please
ensure you contact the appropriate parties before installing your
EcoSmart Fire.
WARNING! FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES,
(THE AREA BETWEEN THE FIREBOX AND THE SPACER) WITH
INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS. THE AIR SPACES ARE NEEDED
FOR PROPER VENTILATION OF THE BURNER.
A re extinguisher is strongly recommended.
CONVERTING AN EXISTING FIREPLACE:
If inserting an Burner into an existing masonry replace, adjust the
damper within the existing replace in order to keep the heat from
escaping through the ue.
Installation
There are many dierent variations available for installing the Burner.
In all cases, the Burner must be:
- Installed into non-combustible material ONLY, such as stainless
steel, concrete, brick and stone
Environmental Conditions
WARNING: Ensure that your re is positioned away from ammable
materials and other sources of ignition at all times. Pay very close
attention to positioning the re away from items that may move as
a result of wind and drafts.
For example trees/branches/curtains/
paper and the like.
The base of the burner within the model must never come into direct
contact with ammable materials.
Side clearances to xed and stable furniture items that are not
susceptible to movement such as lounges or patio furniture must remain
a minimum of 600mm [23.6in] away from the ame at all times.
Overhead clearances to items that are susceptible to movement
(e.g. Curtains/Trees) must remain a minimum of:
- Indoors: 1500mm [59.1in] away from the ame at all times.
- Outdoors: 2000mm [78.7in] away from the ame at all times.
Note: Stainless steel will rust or corrode over time if contamination
or debris is not cleaned or removed immediately. When not in use, it
is recommended that you protect your replace from water damage
or corrosion with a protective cover and always use the Burner Lid
included with your model to safeguard the burner.
