INSTALLATION UNSAFE. NOTE The following instructions cover the installation of the model I5000 Insert Fire into a sound masonry fireplace which has an integral masonry chimney. Where such a chimney is not available, the heater can be installed into a timber framed structure provided that it is mounted in a special ‘build in’...
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FIREPLACE PREPARATION For a safe installation the following matters must be attended to: The masonry fireplace and chimney must be thoroughly cleaned and checked for soundness. The chimney must not connect to a second fireplace. The joint between the chimney face and the fireplace surround must be checked and sealed to prevent leakage if necessary.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS: You need an insulating floor protector (hearth). The minimum requirement for an insulating floor protector (hearth) is one layer of 6mm thick ‘PROMATECT H’, SUPALUX, or ETERPAN LD (or simi- lar with a heat transition coefficient of 5 W/m³ K), and a layer of tiles or slate. This will give a thick- ness of approximately 14mm, and the extension from the face of the glass must be at least 320mm (or 321mm from fireplace surround) if the floor protector is flush with the surrounding heat sensitive material.
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX AND FLUE Remove the door from the fire by opening it and lifting it up until the top pivot comes free and then lower the door until the bottom pivot comes free. You require a 150mm diameter flue. We recommend the use of the GDA flue kit for insert fires. Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as necessary to accept the firebox outer case.

Bring the fascia in its upright position close to the fire and connect the earth lead to the tag on the lower end of the left hand fascia bracket. This is a quick connect push-on connection. Connect the three terminals at the end of the loom to the switch. See sketch for position of wires. Ensure the wiring loom rests in the notch behind the left hand fascia.
