Adjusting the Support Frame

 (if required)

The  S

ofia

  Wood  Pellet  Fire  must  be  installed  on  the  supplied,  adjustable 

support  frame.    The  height  of  this  frame  can  be  set  at  the  home-

owner’s desired height

.

The frame is adjusted by manipulating the bolts, which are located on each of the 

four legs to achieve the desired height.

Seismic Restraint

All installation scenarios for S

ofia

 require the use of hold-down anchors (one 

at each corner).

Fixing to Concrete Floor

• Minimum M8 expansion anchors (M10 recommended) or min M8 epoxy- set

anchors.

• Approved  Anchors:  Expansion  Anchors-Ramset  Dynabolt  and  Trubolt,  Hilti

HAS.

• Epoxy-set Anchors – Ramset Epcon, Ramset Chemset and Hilti HVU.

Fixing to Timber Flooring only

Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3mm diameter) or M10 X 90 coach-screws. Thickness of fl ooring must be 20mm minimum. 

The fl ooring shall be fi xed to the nearest joist with two 8g x 40 screws per hold down anchor. 

Fixing to Timber Floor Framing

Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3 diameter) or M10 x 90 coach-screws.  These shall be fi xed a minimum of 40mm into 

the centre-line of the existing fl oor joists.  If screws cannot be installed directly into an existing fl oor joist, slid blocking 

between joists (min size 90x45) shall be provided.

 Ventilation

The S

ofia

 wood pellet fire requires fresh air to function properly.  Without 

sufficient ventilation, the combustion process can be compromised, 

resulting in issues such as a lazy  flame, smoke, incomplete fuel 

combustion, wasted fuel, excessive ash build-up and clinker.

To ensure the wood pellet fire does not struggle to access combustion air, 

ventilation (air vents) should be situated as close to the fire as practicable, 

within the parameters of the cavity.
