Location of the Pellet Fire

Installation of the Ecoteck Amalfi Freestanding Wood Pellet Burning Heater should be undertaken
by an experienced installer. Please read the Amalfi Owners' and Installation Manual thoroughly
before commencing installation as failure to follow the instruction could cause damage to the
pellet fire or property.
2.5

Positioning the fire:

Generally Amalfi should be installed in a centrally located position within the home. When
deciding where to position the appliance in your room you need to consider the following:
• Location of a power source
• Amalfi must be installed on a non-combustible surface. This surface must protrude 150mm
from the front of the closed pellet fire door.
• Amalfi has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918 using the Davins manufactured flue.
Test Report ARS 05/1185. Installation is not exclusive to these nominated kits, though
alternative flue should only be considered following consultation with your local council.
• Please consult page 30 for the required clearances to combustible material also ensure the
position of structural elements near the proposed flue.
• Because of the positive pressure in the flue, sealing of all 75mm stainless joints is
mandatory – use high temperature Maniseal. Both inner and outer flue joints must be
riveted.
• Seismic Restraint: Please view page 35 for requirements.
• Warranty: To validate warranty following installation a copy of the completed Warranty/
Producers Statement must be forwarded to: Nature's Flame- Fax (03) 348 1743.

Installation of the Flue

The gas outlet system functions by depression in the combustion chamber and by a slight pressure in
the gas outlet pipe. Therefore it is very important that the gas outlet system is hermetically sealed with
special pipes (in steel, not aluminium) containing special silicon gaskets.
The gases must be conveyed outside and they must not come out in closed or semi-closed areas such
as garages, attics or any other place where gases may build up.
The smoke discharge pipe must be constructed in observance of standards UNI7129/92, UNI 10683
and EN14785
