Positioning
Generally the Sara should be installed in a centrally
located position
within the home. When deciding where
to position the appliance, you must consider the following:
1. The place of installation of the pellet fi re must
comply with local and national regulations. The
pellet fi re must be fuelled only with quality pellets
manufactured to standard AS/NZS 4014.6. The
pellet fi re cannot operate using traditional fi re wood.
2. Do not install a pellet fi re in a bedroom or room
where people sleep.
3. Sara has a convection fan which blows air through
tubes in the direction the fi re faces. For optimum
performance and heat circulation, locate the pellet
fi re in a large and open room that is centrally located
in the house.
4. The fi re requires a 230 volt power supply and comes
with a 2m plug in power lead. There must be easy
access to the socket so the fi re can be isolated
from the power if required . If the cable supplied is
not long enough to reach the nearest outlet, use a
suitable 3 pin extension cord. A surge protector is
recommended for use with all
Ravelli
pellet fi res.
2.2
Installing
Installation of the
Ravelli
Sara Wood Pellet Fire must
be undertaken by an approved installer, who must
then give the purchaser a declaration of conformity of
the appliance, and will assume all responsibility for the
final installation and consequent correct function of the
installed product.
Please read this Manual thoroughly before commencing
installation, as failure to follow the instruction could cause
damage to the pellet fi re or property. It is also necessary
for the registered installer to take into consideration
all the laws and national, regional, provincial and local
regulations present in the country in which the appliance
has been installed. In the event of failure to respect these
precautions,

declines all responsibility.
1. The fi re must be installed on a fl oor with suffi cient
carrying capacity. If the existing building does not
meet this requirement, appropriate measures must
be taken (i.e. a load distribution plate).
2. Sara must be installed on a non-combustible
surface. This surface must protrude a minimum
of 150mm from the front of the closed pellet fi re
door and a minimum of 200mm from the side of the
appliance. Please note that if a fl oating hearth is to
be installed, an allowance must be made below the
fi re for installation of the chosen surround.
3. Check clearances to combustibles (see “5. Creating
the Cavity” on page 26) to ensure suffi cent space
is created in the cavity, and that the position of
structural elements near the proposed fl ue have
adequate clearance.
4. Check clearance for service – as the Sara is
designed to be pulled out, as long as there is front
access, this should be suffi cient.
5. Check there is suffi cient ventilation for combustion
air and this is unaffected by mechanical extraction.
An external air intake may be required. (see
“5. Creating the Cavity” on page 26 for cavity
ventilation requirements).
6. There must be suffi cient circulation of air in the room
where the pellet fi re is installed. Never open the
door of the pellet fi re while it is functioning.
7. Check there is a suitable fl ue location (studs, joists,
rafters etc).
8. Sara has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918:2001
using the Davins manufactured fl ue, Test Report
ARS 05/1185. Installation is not exclusive to these
nominated kits, though an alternative fl ue should
only be considered following consultation with your
local council.
9. Because of the positive pressure in the fl ue, sealing
of all 75mm stainless joints is mandtory - use high
temperature Maniseal. Both inner and outer fl ue
This manual is designed for the technician/installer.
