Appliance Installation; Framing - EcoSmart Fire FLEX Series Clearances And Installation Manual

ENGLISH
Appliance
Installation
These appliances must be installed into a fixed secure position
before being operated.
NOTICE: DO NOT INSTALL DIRECTLY BESIDE OR NEAR
WALLPAPER, LAMINATE, VENEER OR ANY SURFACE THAT IS NOT
DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND HEAT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
(the heat will impact the material, and in some circumstances the
glue used for its application). THE AREA AROUND THE APPLIANCE
GETS HOT. HEAT SENSITIVE/REACTIVE MATERIALS SHOULD
NOT BE USED. DO NOT PLACE FLAMMABLE OBJECTS ON OR
AROUND THE APPARATUS.
These appliances are not designed to incorporate doors or opening
covers.
The appliance must remain open at all times for ventilation – it is not
designed to operate as an oven or similar "hot box" – the flame must
have a constant supply of air to operate and be able to circulate and
distribute the heat effectively
DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES (the space between
the appliance and the spacer ) WITH INSULATION OR OTHER
MATERIALS. THE AIR SPACERS ARE NEEDED TO ENSURE
PROPER TEMPERATURES ARE MAINTAINED BEHIND THE
APPLIANCE.
Do not modify the appliance in any way during installation. Cutting of
sheet metal parts of the appliance is prohibited.
Expansion and contraction of internal parts due to heating and
cooling off may create noise. This is normal.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT THE GLASS
WINDSCREEN
The appliance must be fully assembled before being operated.
Failure to install (or removal of) glass panels will void the
warranty and render the product unapproved for use with the
included burner.

FRAMING

Important Considerations for Framing
1. The appliance must be installed on a level surface capable of
supporting the appliance, burner, glass charcoal and full fuel
capacity.
2. The framing dimensions shown in the instructions are the
optimum dimensions that allow best fit with gyprock / sheetrock /
plasterboard (or other facing/finishing material) after the appliance
has been installed.
3. Prepare the installation location. If placing the appliance on a
platform, build the platform, making sure to accommodate the
weight of the appliance, burner, glass charcoal and fuel. Verify that
the platform is level.
In the case of insufficient capacity to hold the weight of the
appliance, measures must be taken to reinforce the setting (for
example installation of a plate for load distribution) so that the
setting is suitable for installation.
IMPORTANT: The framing above the appliance must be self-
supporting. The appliance is not load-bearing.

DEFINITIONS
Combustible materials - Materials made of or surfaced with wood,
compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other material that can
ignite and burn, whether flame produced or not, or plastered or un-
plastered shall be considered combustible materials.
Non-combustible materials - materials which will not ignite and
burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron,
brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination
thereof. HardieBacker®, WonderBoard®, Durock® or materials
that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method
for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750C shall be
considered non-combustible materials.

PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale.
Actual installation may vary due to individual design preferences.
