ATTENTION
There are two critical components when installing a Sara Insert Wood Pellet fi re:
1) Ensure the wall cavity is the necessary size.
2) Ensure relevant clearances to combustibles are adhered to both inside and outside the cavity.
Depending on the circumstances, you may also have to consider the use of a hearth, and the installation
of a support frame.
3.1 Pellet
Quality
Pellet quality is important - please read the following:
This wood pellet fi re has been designed to burn ¼“
(6mm) diameter wood pellets, manufactured to the AS/
NZS 4014.6 standard only.
The performance of this wood pellet fi re is greatly affected
by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned. As
the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so
will the performance and heat output of the wood pellet
fi re.
Caution: It is important to select and use only pellets
that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as
high salt content. Wood pellets manufactured to the
AS/NZS 4014.6 standard are recommended. Dirty fuel
will adversely affect the operation and performance
of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel
Industries (PFI) has established standards for wood
pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets
that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for
a recommended pellet type.
1. The protection grill inside the pellet tank must never
be removed.
2. Do not light the heater without having fi rst
performed the daily inspection, as described in
the Sara Owner’s Manual. Scrupulously follow the
maintenance program.
3. Do not switch off the pellet fi re by disconnecting the
electricity mains supply.
4. Do not clean the pellet fi re until the appliance and
the ashes have cooled down completely.
5. Carry out all operations in maximum safety.
6. When the pellet fi re is operating, the surfaces,
glass, handle and pipes become very hot. During
operation these parts must only be touched using
adequate heat protection.
3.2 Spare
Parts
Use original spare parts only. Do not wait for the
components to be worn out before replacing them.
Replace any worn component before it is completely
broken to prevent any accidents caused by the sudden
breakage of components. Perform periodic maintenance
checks as described in “2. Positioning and Installation of
the wood pellet fi re” on page 1.
3.3 Responsibility
Ecoteck and Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility,
both civil and criminal, with the delivery of this manual,
for any accidents deriving from partial or total failure to
observe the instructions it contains.
DO NOT use this appliance as an incinerator.
