2.1 Positioning

Generally Camino should be installed in a centrally
located position within the home. When deciding
where to position the appliance, you must consider the
following:

1. The place of installation of the pellet fi re must

comply with local and national regulations. The
pellet fi re must be fuelled only with quality pellets
manufactured to standard AS/NZS4014.6. The
pellet fi re cannot operate using traditional fi re wood
or fuel other than wood pellets.

2. Do not install a pellet fi re in a bathroom, bedroom or

room where people sleep.

Camino has a convection fan which blows air through
tubes in the direction the fi re faces. For optimum
performance and heat circulation, locate the pellet
fi re in a large and open room that is centrally located
in the house.

4. The

fi re requires a 230 volt power supply and comes

with a 2m plug in power lead. There must be easy
access to the socket so the fi re can be isolated
from the power if required . If the cable supplied is
not long enough to reach the nearest outlet, use a
suitable 3 pin extension cord. A surge protector is
recommended for use with all Ecoteck pellet fi res.

2.2 Installing

Installation of the Ecoteck Camino Wood Pellet Fire
must be undertaken by an approved installer, who must
then give the purchaser a declaration of conformity of
the appliance, and will assume all responsibility for the
fi nal installation and consequent correct function of the
installed product.

Please read this Manual thoroughly before commencing
installation as failure to follow the instruction could cause
damage to the pellet fi re or property. It is also necessary
for the registered installer to take into consideration
all the laws and national, regional, provincial and local

regulations present in the country in which the appliance
has been installed. In the event of failure to respect these
precautions, Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility.

1. The

fi re must be installed on a fl oor with suffi cient

carrying capacity. If the existing building does not
meet this requirement, appropriate measures must
be taken (i.e. a load distribution plate).

2. Camino must be installed on a non-combustible

surface. This surface must protrude a minimum
of 150mm from the front of the closed pellet fi re
door and a minimum of 200mm from the side of the
appliance. Please note that if a fl oating hearth is to
be installed, an allowance must be made below the
fi re for installation of the chosen surround.

3. Check clearances to combustibles (see “5. Creating

the Cavity” on page 4) to ensure suffi cent space
is created in the cavity, and that the position of
structural elements near the proposed fl ue have
adequate clearance.

4. Check clearance for service – as the Camino is

designed to be pulled out, as long as there is front
access, this should be suffi cient.

5. Check there is suffi cient ventilation for combustion

air and this is unaffected by mechanical extraction.
An external air intake may be required. (see
“5. Creating the Cavity” on page 4 for cavity
ventilation requirements).

6. There must be suffi cient circulation of air in the room

where the pellet fi re is installed. Never open the
door of the pellet fi re while it is functioning.

7. Check there is a suitable fl ue location (studs, joists,

rafters etc).

8. Camino has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918

using the Davins manufactured fl ue, Test Report
ARS 05/1185. Installation is not exclusive to these
nominated kits, though an alternative fl ue should
only be considered following consultation with your
local council.

9. Because of the positive pressure in the fl ue, sealing

This manual is designed for the technician/installer.

Please read this entire manual before operating your
Ecoteck Wood Pellet Fire. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in poor performance, damage to
the fi re, property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Any unauthorised modifi cation of the appliance or use
of replacement parts not supplied by the manufacturer

is prohibited.

All national and local regulations shall be complied with
when installing this appliance. Your local Nature’s Flame
dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information
with regards to your local building codes and installation
regulations.
