Heat emanating from the front of this
appliance may over time affect the
appearance of some materials used
for flooring such as carpet, vinyl, cork
or timber. This effect may be amplified
if the air in the room contains cooking
vapours or cigarette smoke. To avoid
this possibility, it is recommended
that a mat be placed in front of the
appliance, extending at least 750mm
in front of it.
The flue terminal
MUST BE positioned away from flammable materials.
In areas subject to heavy snowfall, keep snow clear of flue terminal at all times.
DO NOT flue into natural draught flues or fireplaces.
DO NOT flue into other rooms, roof spaces or into under floor spaces.
DO NOT Install the heater in an unusually dusty area.
IMPORTANT
For other important information regarding the location of the heater refer to the instructions
supplied with the appliance.
LUBRICATING COMPONENTS
The inner flue pipe joints are sealed with an “O” ring seal.
To help ensure a good seal and to ease assembly, a small tub of silicone grease is provided with the Direct Flue
Kit (ESDFK) and the In-Wall Transition Kit (ESKIT03). Use this silicone grease to lubricate the “O” ring on the inner
pipes prior to assembly.
CAUTION
Use ONLY a silicone based "O" ring seal lubricant.
DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, as such products may cause
deterioration.
