(eg. AS/NZS5601). Any shortcomings in the appliance and flue installation will be the responsibility of the installer, and Escea will not be accountable for any such failings or their consequences.
Product Description: The Escea IB1100, IB850 and IB600 gas fires are designed to be built into a cavity. These appliances are flued conventionally via a Ø100mm flue system. The Escea IB600 Zero Clearance Kit , IB850 Zero Clearance Kit and IB1100 Zero Clearance Kit are to be used for all installations.
The IB1100 and IB850 have their electronics compartment protruding from the left hand side of the fire and the resulting offset needs to be taken into account when installing into a tight masonry cavity.
The base must also be levelled to prevent vibration from possible fan imbalance. For the installation of an IB1100 the base of the cavity must be strong enough to support the total product weight, which is a minimum of 70kg.
It is the responsibility of the end user to check the installation instructions of their electrical appliances to ensure that the location in relation to the gas fire is suitable. Escea in no way guarantees or takes responsibility that the above installation suggestion will be suitable for all electrical or home entertainment appliances.
10.0 Power Supply: Whilst the cavity is being created consideration should be given to appropriate location of a standard 3 pin, EARTHED 240V power outlet. This must be within 0.5m of the rear left hand corner of the appliance. 10.1 Locating the power outlet 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.
11.0 Installing the Flue System: Non-Masonry Timber Frame Cavity: The heater must be flued to the outside via a 100mm diameter stainless steel flue that is covered by a 150mm diameter liner. This must be installed in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.
12.0 Flue Assembly Secure the Flue spacer bracket (G3003) to the top section of 100mm Flue and insert the cowl, this can be riveted or held in place with screws (see 12.1 Installing the Flue Terminal). Now slide the 150mm flue onto the bracket. For each section of flue a Spider bracket will be required.
Page 13
12.1 Installing the Flue Terminal Cut the flue termination to the height specified on the attached “Flue position” diagrams and leave a vertical offset of 20 - 30mm between the inner and outer as shown. Slide the flue liner sleeve over the liner and push it down about 150mm out of the way.
Page 14
Note: As per national standards, the finished terminal must be in clear air and not enclosed in any way. All the required flue components are available from your Escea dealer in both kitset form and as individual components. 600mm clearance to nearest part of roof...

FROM AS/NZS 5601, please ensure compliance to all other relevant sections of this code. 2.6.13 FLUE TERMINALS 2.6.13.1 Location The termination point of a flue shall be located in relation to any associated building and to neighbouring structures so that wind from any direction is not likely to create a downdraught in the flue or chimney. Except where 2.6.13.3 applies, a flue terminal shall: (a) Be at least 1m horizontally from a neighbouring structure;...

12.4 Fixing the Flue to the Cavity A length of Angle should be attached to the inside of the timber frame cavity to hold the flue in place. Once you have fixed the Angle to the inside of the cavity holes must be drilled to secure it to the flue.
13.1 The top of the flue must be capped with an appropriate anti down draft cowl. Note: Chimney liner flue kits intended for other brands of heater may not fit. Escea flue spigot is 100mm inside diameter. 14.0 Laying Gas Pipe: Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS/NZS5601.
Split plug as indicated to allow gas pipe to pass through 14.3 It is recommended that a gas isolating valve be installed as close to the regulator on the gas inlet side as possible. This will allow for easier servicing in the future. 14.4 If the room has not been completed and the wall surfaces are yet to be lined or plastered the fire must not be installed into the Zero Clearance Kit until such time that there will be no further sanding.
15.3 Attach the Top-Rear: Attach the top-rear panel to the Sides and Rear panels, with the flanges of the Top-rear panel on the outside. Do not attach Top-Front panel yet, This will be done after the flue has been mated with the fire.
17.0 Gas Fireplace Installation: Attached to the base of the Zero Clearance Kit are guide rails. The inside edge of these rails will line up with the outside edge of the two outer under base supports. When the parts are lined up, push the fire towards the back of the Zero Clearance Kit until it cannot be pushed back any further.
14.1 19.1 The regulator that is supplied with the fire MUST NOT BE REMOVED. Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an Escea fire, will void the limited appliance warranty.

The IB600 and IB850 have 2x Rear Log Retainers, which should be screwed in place in the rear corners of the firebox. The IB1100 has 4x Rear Log Retainers, two in the rear corners of the firebox and two in the center as shown.
To attach to the right hand side, use the supplied screw and brass washer as shown in the diagrams below. In some cases it may be necessary to drill a 1/8” (3.3mm) hole in the lower baffle. Note, the diagram below is for an IB1100. For IB850 and IB600 the log templates shape will vary.

24.5 Step 5: If changing from LPG to NG, slide the supplied burner collar onto the burner tubes of both burners as shown to the right and secure in place using the supplied screw as shown If changing from NG to LPG, remove the burner collar by removing the screw and completely removing the burner collar.
25.0 Checking Operating Pressure: WARNING: The regulator that is supplied with the fire MUST NOT BE REMOVED. Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an Escea fire, will void the limited appliance warranty.
Replace the glass Note: If the glass gasket requires a replacement, call your nearest Escea agent who will ensure the part is replaced with the correct type. In the event that the glass is broken by impact, purchase the replacement from an authorised Escea agent only.
5. A suitable distance away from the heater. 6. 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 between 5 and 15 metres away from the heater.
Fan: Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air further 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.
29.0 Installation Check List: Tick here Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the area the appliance is installed in. Ensure the spark electrodes are correctly positioned. Operating pressure checked with heater running on full (all burners operating) and all other gas appliances in the house switched on.
