Clearances & Installation ENGLISH
Installation Requirements
There are many different variations available for installing the EcoSmart™ Burner. In all cases, the
EcoSmart™ Burner must:
- be installed into non-combustible material ONLY – for example stainless steel, concrete, brick, stone;
- only be installed after all gas connections or pipelines in the area are disconnected and made safe by an
appropriately qualified and licensed professional;
- be installed into a fixed and secure position before filling, lighting and operating;
- be installed in a position that limits relocation requirements to eliminate the risk of accidents caused by
fuel spillage – they are not designed to be relocated frequently;
- be installed into a level platform;
- not be installed directly beside wallpaper or laminate or any surface that has not been fire rated (the heat
will impact the material);
- be installed into a setting that has a square back – the incorporation of angled backs alters the
aerodynamics of the flame environment and could lead to an unstable flame behaviour.
- be fitted within a “Twin Skin”, such as a Top Tray (NOTE: Not applicable for the Around Burner).
- be positioned so the mouth of the flame is a minimum of 1000mm [39.36in] away from curtains,
flammable materials and other sources of ignition. Be aware of drafts.
As a general guide we recommend that:
- any furniture items or fittings directly above or beside the EcoSmart™ Fire installation be deemed
suitable for heat tolerances by their manufacturer e.g Plasma Screens;
- a heat reflective panel made of non combustible material (ideally stainless steel) be installed as the
surround and top of the fireplace setting to assist in heat distribution;
- any reconstituted materials you wish to use be checked in terms of strength and suitability around such
high temperature variations as some materials will crack – call The Fire Company Pty Ltd for more
information about specific surfaces;
- glass or mirrored surfaces near the EcoSmart™ Fire installation must be toughened.
SPACERS: When the Burner is in position, there is usually an air gap around it. Do not pack with insulation
or other materials, as the air spacers are required for ventilation.
A fire extinguisher is a compulsory accessory.
