Clearances
Please read these instructions completely before installing and
operating the EcoSmart™ Fire.

SELECTING APPLIANCE LOCATION

The appliance is zero clearance and has the necessary clearances to
combustible frame components already built-in. They are engineered
specifically to accept compatible EcoSmart Fire Burners.
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the
required minimum room sizes and clearances to walls and combustible
materials (see Clearances images below and Minimum Room Size table).
Note: Flex appliances are made from zinc sealed steel which is powder
coated with super hi-temp black paint which prevents rusting. The burners
are made of 304 stainless steel. To ensure the burner(s) continue looking
great and to avoid rust or corrosion it is important any contamination or
debris are cleaned or removed from the burner immediately.
If installed outdoors, the appliance must be located under a protective
overhang to avoid it from filling with water and being permanently
damaged. The warranty is void if the product is damaged as a result of
installation in an exposed location.
When not in use, keep the burner lid closed to safeguard the burner
from debris falling into the burner chamber and causing contamination.
WARNING: Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around
air openings and for service access. Observe the clearances to
combustibles recommended in this manual and the burner manual.
Ensure that your fire is positioned away from flammable materials
and other sources of ignition at all times. Due to high temperatures,
the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies. Pay very close attention to positioning the fire away
from items that may move as a result of wind and drafts. For example
trees/branches/curtains/paper and the like. Keep children at a safe
distance at all times and never leave them unsupervised when the
appliance is on or hot.

VENTILATION

EcoSmart Fires do not require any form of permanent fixture or fitting,
such as a flue for ventilation, a permanent connection or any kind of
fixed utility for fuel supply.
Do not cover any existing ventilation systems or structures that
are built or installed within the chosen installation area.
To ensure adequate ventilation, make sure to follow the guidelines in
the table shown.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) calculates adequate air exchange
as follows:
In a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusually
tight construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air
infiltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is
provided through infiltration. However, if the Burner is used in a small
room where less than 5.7m [200ft
3
1000 BTU per hour of appliance rating (considering the maximum
Burner setting), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or a
window to the outside should be opened at least 25.4mm [1in] to guard
against potential build up of indoor air pollution. Do not install or operate
in a bathroom or any other small room.
