Clearances & Installation
Installation Requirements
There are many different variations available for installing the EcoSmart™ Burner. In all cases, the
EcoSmart™ Burner must:
- be installed into non-combustible material ONLY – for example stainless steel, concrete, brick, stone;
- only be installed after all gas connections or pipelines in the area are disconnected and made safe by an
appropriately qualified and licensed professional;
- be installed into a fixed and secure position before filling, lighting and operating;
- be operated in a fixed position. EcoSmart™ Burners are not meant to be relocated as relocating creates
the risk of accidental fuel spillages.
If you relocate the Burner, make sure that there is no accidental
spillage before you ignite the Burner. The Fire Company Pty Ltd is not liable for any damages
arising from fuel spillages due to relocating the Burner
;
- be installed into a level platform;
- not be installed directly beside or near wallpaper, laminate, veneer or any surface that has not been fire
rated (the heat will impact the material). Refer to product specification of wallpaper, laminate, veneer or
glue for heat tolerances;
- be installed into a setting that has a straight back – the incorporation of angled backs alters the
aerodynamics of the flame environment and could lead to an unstable flame behaviour;
- be fitted within a “Twin Skin”, such as a Top Tray (NOTE: Not applicable for the Around Burner).
- be positioned so the mouth of the flame is a minimum of 1500mm [59.1in] away from curtains, flammable
materials and other sources of ignition. Be aware of drafts.
As a general guide we recommend that:
- any furniture items or fittings directly above or beside the EcoSmart™ Fire installation be deemed suitable
for heat tolerances by their manufacturer e.g Plasma Screens, wallpaper, laminates, veneers, glues,
reconstituted materials;
- a heat reflective panel made of non combustible material (ideally stainless steel) be installed as the
surround and top of the fireplace setting to assist in heat distribution.
The Fire Company Pty Ltd is not
liable for any injuries or damages sustained through the use of panels not manufactured by The
Fire Company Pty Ltd
;
- glass or mirrored surfaces near the EcoSmart™ Fire installation must be toughened.
SPACERS: All Burners have built in spacers on all external sides. Do not pack with insulation or other
materials, as the air spacers are required for ventilation.
A fire extinguisher is a compulsory accessory.
