•   Pay particular attention to making sure the floor where the 

fire will sit is level and flat as any discrepancies will make 
it difficult to slide the fire into place and to align the fascia 
correctly. Also be precise when cutting the opening as the 
fascia will only cover the top of the opening by 7 or 8mm.

•  Be sure to maintain a minimum air gap to combustible 

material inside the cavity as set out as follows:

Top

Sides

Rear

Air Gap

30mm

27mm

50mm

•  Remove from within the firebox the plastic bag containing 

the component kit, two firebricks wrapped in cardboard 
and the top baffle assembly.

•  Position the ECO Mega Smart Built-In into the wall opening 

you have created (Diagram 1), slide the cabinet into the 
cavity until the front edge of the ECO Mega Smart Built-In 
cabinet is 3-4mm behind the front face of the wall lining 
(Diagram 3).

Note: if you intend constructing a brick fascia in front of the wall 
lining then the front edge of the ECO Mega Smart Built-In cabinet 
should be 3-4mm behind the front face of the bricks.

•   Check the ECO Mega Smart Built-In is central by ensuring 

the clearance between each side of the cabinet and the 
sides of the opening are equal.

•   Secure the ECO Mega Smart Built-In to the floor through the 

two restraint holes provided in each corner at the front of 
the cabinet. Masonry anchors are required for a concrete 
floor and wood screws for a timber or particle board floor.

Note: this must be secured rigidly to meet the seismic restraint 
requirements of AS/NZS2918:2001

•   Using a 10mm spanner, remove the two bolts holding the 

air slide spacers which are located at the top, front of the 
firebox, ensuring the control arm of the air slide is located 
on the right side of the firebox. Attach the air slide to the 
firebox using the two bolts and spacers. 

 •   Position the 200mm/250mm diameter “liner spigot” into 

the top of the cabinet centralising it with the centre of the 
flue spigot. Secure the “liner spigot” into position using the 
twelve self tapping screws supplied.

•   Unwrap the two firebricks from the cardboard wrapper and 

fit the side bricks to each side of the firebox.

Stage 3 – Installing the ECO Mega Smart Built-In

• If the ECO Mega Smart Built-In is to have a raised 

floor protector, the base on which the ECO Mega 
Smart Built-In will be installed needs to be raised to 
the same height.
