Page 10: Creating The Cavity
• Home automation network connections - Ethernet cable layout This DS Series fires are to be installed prior to any wall lining. The wall lining is the very last task to be completed in this installation. The cavity and wall linings may be constructed from standard timber framing materials and do not need to be non-combustible.
Page 11: B3 Hearth
The diagram (shown right) shows the recommended minimum clearances for the location of any electrical equipment (such as Plasma TV, LCD TV or home theatre) above a DS Series gas fire. A mantel/recess is not required to comply with our recom- mendation of TV installation.

Installing in Accordance with Relevant Codes: The location of the Horizontal Powerflue Wall Terminal must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and any other relevant building codes. If possible, avoid installing the Horizontal Powerflue Wall Terminal in areas exposed to high winds and extreme weather. Some of the minimum clearances for a fan assisted wall terminal are listed below;...
Page 25: C8 Running The Flue
Notes: 1) Should the flue not extend past the apex, the top of the flue should extend at least 400mm from the roof (or 500mm in regions with heavy snow). 2) The installation of a flue into a carport is not recommended. 3) The flue terminal will get very hot when in use.

Page 27: Installing The Electricity And Gas To The Appliance
Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance Power Supply While the cavity is being created consideration should be given to appropriate location of a standard 3 pin, EARTHED 230/240V power outlet. This must be within 1.0m of the bottom right of the appliance.
Page 28: D3 Gas Pipe Sizing
D3 Gas Pipe Sizing Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.1. The pipe sizing must be sufficient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in the home running at the same time: Maximum DS1150 Gas Consumption = 34MJ/hr Maximum DS1400 Gas Consumption = 40MJ/hr...
Page 29: D5 Gas Isolating Valve
D5 Gas Isolating Valve A gas isolating valve must be installed in the gas line as close to the appliance as possible. Fix it in a convenient position to allow it to be closed off quickly and easily during normal operation. Take into consideration access to this valve once the wall linings are on.

Page 42: Finishing The Installation
Finishing the Installation Coal, Crystallite or Driftwood Fuelbed Installation If using the crystalight, coal, or driftwood fuel beds, first place all the Crystallite/Coal pieces in a single layer atop the Burners and Fuelbed Tray. Cover the entire area except for the pilot shield, ensuring coverage right up to both glass windows and rear of firebox for single sided.

An abnormal flame pattern will likely be the result of incorrect settings (jet size, burner aeration collar), you must check these are correct before proceeding. If an abnormal flame pattern is still present, please contact Escea. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure a correct flame pattern.
Page 48 DS-Series Minimum Wall Lining Dimensions Model DS1150 1401 DS1400 1693 DS1650 1987 Note: The wall lining directly above the appliance will get warm and hence may discolour paint finishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall coverings. For durability of finishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification and avoid materials with temperature ratings less than 80deg C.
Page 49 Gib Rondo stopping bead). Note: a 20mm or less wall lining must be used when installing a DS Series fireplace without a fascia. For wall linings of a total thickness of 10mm or larger, a “Linear Trim” may be purchased to cover any exposed wall lining.
Page 50: F7 Fitting The Fascia
. Linear Trim To install the Gib Trim onto the DS Series, Hook the bottom edge over the bottom trim first and push the top edge up and flush with the wall cladding.
Page 51: F8 Locating Wall Mount Cradle For Wireless Control
Ideally 1.2m to 1.5m from the floor The radio frequency signal will go through some walls but for best results Escea suggest that the cradle position is less than 10 metres away from the heater. The best height off the ground to locate the cradle is about chest height.
Page 52: F10 Normal Operating Sounds And Smells
These are all normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance. Fan: Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.

Page 54: Service Manual
Service Manual IMPORTANT: • This appliance must be serviced every 12 months. • Any service operation should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and trained person. • Gas and electricity supply MUST be isolated before any service operation is carried out on this appliance.
Page 55: S2 Error Codes
Error Codes This gas fire has been designed to show error codes to help explain and identify any fault situation that occurs. These codes will appear on the wireless remote control in the form of a large letter “E” with a number beside it.
Page 56 The bimetallic snap disk mounted on the exhaust collector box has tripped. The possible causes for this could include: • Possibly fascia panels installed incorrectly resulting in restricted air flow. • Room air fans may be slowed or stalled. Check that fans are plugged in, Appliance Over cleaned, and free turning Temperature...
Page 57: S3 Cleaning The Fuelbed And Glass
NEVER RUB THE FASCIA. The outside of the fascia’s must only be cleaned with a clean damp cloth, dry off after cleaning. The high temp silver powder coating that is used on Escea fascia parts contains certain amounts of aluminium that when rubbed too hard will oxidise leaving a black smudge that cannot be removed.
Page 58: S6 Replacing A Remote Control
Replacing a Remote Control If the wireless control becomes lost or damaged, a new one can be ordered from any Escea retail agent. When you have the new remote, the following procedure needs to be followed to “teach” the remote to only communicate with that fire.
Page 59: S9 Removing Or Cleaning Fan
Removing or Cleaning Fan As part of regular service procedure, it is recommended that the fan is removed for cleaning. Dust will build up on the fan rotor and in the cavity where the fan is located. This can be removed by the service person using a hearth brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Page 60 2. Remove the 10 screws (shown in the diagram below) in the access hatch and carefully remove from the firebox. 3. Remove the 2 silicone tubes (making note of which tube goes on each spigot) Disconnect the two wires from the pressure switch and remove the two screws on either side of the pressure switch to remove it from the bracket.
Page 61: S12 Replacing The Thermal Cut Outs (Tco)
S12 Replacing the Thermal Cut Out WARNING - Ensure power is turned off before removing any TCO. There are two thermal cutouts: one in the LH room fan assembly (60°C) and the other attached to the exhaust manifold (120°C). Exhaust TCO (120°C) Access to this TCO can be made by following steps 1 to 2 from section S11.
Page 62 Fan TCO (60°C) Access to this TCO can be made by following S9 and removing the left hand fan (not exhaust side). Once the fan is removed you will see the TCO (circled in the diagram below). To remove this, un- screw the two visible screws and once free remove the two wires connected to the TCO and remove from chassis.
Page 63: S13 Servicing The Horizontal/Vertical Powerflue
S13 Servicing the Horizontal / Vertical Powerflue Ensure the power to the Powerflue is off by disconnecting the power to the appliance inside. If the appliance has been running, allow the Powerflue to cool before attempting to service it. Servicing a horizontal Powerflue: If the Powerflue needs servicing, the fan can be accessed from the outside of the installation for Horizontal termination, and accessed from within the roof space for Vertical termination.
