    Product Description: The Escea IB850 and IB600 gas fires are designed to be built into a cavity. Both appliances are flued conventionally via a Ø100mm flue system. The user will control their fire with the Radio Frequency (RF) remote that will normally be left in its wall mount cradle.

    The following are the recommended minimum clearances for the location of any electrical equipment (such as Plasma TV, LCD TV or home theatre) above an Escea IB Series gas fire.

    Power Supply: Locating the plug within the cavity makes the installation very neat but the provision must be made to be able to switch the power supply off and on (electrical isolation switch) and must be accessible after the heater has been installed. This is normally done by means of a separate switch located outside of the cavity and wired to the plug.
