ATTENTION

There are two critical components when installing a Sara Insert Wood Pellet 

 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

.

If electrical equipment (eg Plasma TV, LCD TV or home 

theatre) is to be installed above the wood pellet fi re, we 

recommend installing a non combustible mantle below

the TV screen, or recessing the TV screen into the wall,

for heat protection.
