C9 Zero Clearance Kit Venting Requirements
The TC950 Zero Clearance Kit must be vented. There are multiple options for
venting the kit depending on the install scenario. For all options, the hot
air will exhaust through the 250mm dia galvanised liner sections to outside
(which are supplied with the Escea Inbuilt Flue Kit).
Option 1 – Venting with Outside Air (Preferred)
Outside air can be drawn in by connecting a 150mm dia pipe from outside of the
building to the zero clearance kit. It is recommended to use 150mm dia
aluminium ducting (not supplied).
Venting air can be supplied from the back, or from either side of the zero
clearance kit. A 150mm dia spigot is supplied with the kit. To attach it, take
out the blanking plate from the desired panel and screw the the spigot to the
panel using the supplied 4x Tek screws (1/4″ driver size).
18
630591_1 TC950 InsTallaTIon Manual
CAB
Option 2- Venting with Roof Cavity Air
Note: This option can only be used for cavity heights of 2.7m and under.
Additionally, this option can only be used where there is no floor above the
chimney cavity.
Air from the roof space can be utilised to vent the zero clearance kit down
through the square holes located on the back panel and side panels.
Holes must be cut in the ceiling to allow roof space air into the enclosure.
The minimum opening size is 2x 250mm x 150mm (or an equivalent surface area).
Alternatively, you can have no ceiling inside the enclosure to allow as much
air as possible into the zero clearance kit.
CEILING
MINIMUM FLUE TO CEILING GAP: 25mm
MINIMUM CEILING HOLE SIZE: 250mm x 150mm
CEILING
NO CEILING INSIDE ENCLOSURE
Option 3- Venting with Room Air This option is not preferred – only consider
this if both Options 1 and 2 cannot be applied. This method will take away
warm air from the room – this is undesirable. Room air can be drawn into the
cavity through vents on the side of the cavity. The minimum venting area is
17,670mm^2. Place the vents so that they are in line with the base of the zero
clearance kit. There must be nothing inside the cavity that obscures the path
of venting air to the zero clearance kit.
19
CAB C10 Flue Clearances
At any point above the enclosure, any combustible material MUST be separated
from the 250mm diameter galvanised liner by a distance of no less than 25mm.
C11 Minimum Flue Length
The flue exit must be a minimum of 4.6m above the floor protector. However in
many cases, the flue may need to be taller to comply with external clearances.
C12 External Clearances:
The external clearances of the flue must comply to meet the requirements of
AS/NZS 2918:2018 Section 4.9 – External Requirements

Fix the platform to the ground. Then assemble the in-built enclosure by fixing
the leftside framework, right-side framework and the top front framework
together with the platform. Note: the front of the base will need to be set
back 40mm from the front of the side frames.
Slide the partially built zero clearance kit into the constructed cavity so
that it is sitting on the base.
If venting the zero clearance kit using method 1, make sure the 150mm spigot
and venting pipe is connected to outside air. Refer to section C9 for venting
requirements.
Note: The platform must be seismically restrained to the floor. Note: Do not place any wall linings at this step.

F1 First Fires
The first fire(s) in your appliance may be difficult to get going and keep
going with a lesser amount of heat being generated. This is a result of the
moisture being driven out of the vermiculite panels. Allow several hours of
hot fires before your appliance will perform optimally.
During the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, hot
fires using kindling or small wood pieces. Do not be alarmed if small hairline
cracks develop in the vermiculite and some painted parts may also produce a
smell. These are normal occurrences and do not pose safety hazards.
F2 Recommended Methods of Lighting a Fire
Traditional Method of Lighting a Fire (Bottom up):
is getting into the combustion chamber.
To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the floor
of the appliance and cover with dry kindling. Fully open the flue damper by
moving the handle to the right. Light the paper and close the door.
Alternatives to paper such as firelighters can also be used to light the fire.
To maintain a brisk fire, a hot ember bed must be established and maintained.
Slowly add slightly larger wood pieces. Lay the pieces lengthwise from front
to back in the hot ember bed with a small gap between each piece so that the
air can flow directly into this gap and ignite the fuel above.
When the fire seems to be at its peak, medium/ large sized logs may be added.
Close the door immediately after refueling to avoid drawing room air into the
firebox.
The flames will remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the firebox has
been heated thoroughly and the flue system becomes heated and provides a good
draft. At this point, the roaring fire that you see when the door is opened is
wastefully drawing heated room air up the flue; this is not desirable.
You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once
the appliance is entirely hot, it will burn very efficiently with little smoke
from the flue. There will be a bed of orange embers in the firebox.
You can safely fill the firebox with wood up to 50%.
Once the medium sized firewood is burning briskly and an ember bed has started
to establish you can control the fire adjusting the flue damper handle.
WaRnInG
nEVER loaD THE WooD HIGHER THan HalF WaY uP THE HEIGHT oF THE FIREBoX
As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the flame pattern
due to room air not getting into the firebox. The flames will get smaller and
lazier as result because less oxygen
Sliding the control to the left will reduce the air and result in a slower
burning and less intense fire/heat. Sliding the control to the right will
result in more air and a quicker burn with more intense fire/heat.
Learning to manage the appliance to your liking requires some practice, as you
must first become familiar with its functioning. Do not expect an
47
DCABEF
immediate reaction of the fire when you adjust the air control. The flame will
not intensify or diminish quickly as is the case with liquid or gas fuels.
Solid fuels like firewood react more slowly.
Top Down Lighting Method (Alternative)
Lighting a fire can sometimes be difficult. The following method of lighting a
fire is one that is widely practiced in other parts of the world. This is a
tried and tested procedure which is better for the environment.
If you experience problems with the traditional (bottom up) method,
particularly relating to smoke spillage then please try the following:
People often talk about top down and bottom up lighting. You either start
lighting from the top or from the bottom. The top down method produces less
soot and ashes (better for the environment), minimises smoke spillage into the
room, ensures better air supply and makes the first wood load last longer.
What you will need:
3 or 4 larger logs of wood (dry)
8 to 12 pieces of kindling sticks
Firelighters
Matches
Step 1:
Ensure that all air control in the fireplace is fully open (if available). Put
the logs on the bottom of the fireplace. It is important that the wood is
cleft and dry. The logs may be as thick as a fist or thicker.
Step 2:
Add a layer of small logs of about 4 cm, and then one or two layers of
kindling. Remember that air is important approx. 1 cm between the pieces of
wood is the perfect spacing.
Step 3:
Put 3 or 4 pieces of paraffin or alcohol based firelighter (about 3cm x 3cm
each) on top of the layer of kindling wood.
Step 4:
Light each of the firelighter pieces and close the door. Wait for when the
flames are well established and the larger logs are burning.
After the initial burn, add required amount of wood and adjust the flue damper
handle to the desired position.
Do noT oVERFIRE THE aPPlIanCE!
Overfiring can occur by:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps or
skids.
B. Overfilling your appliance. Load wood only up to 50% of the firebox height.
C. Operating the appliance with a poor gasket seal on the main door.
D. Burning the fire with the door open.
WaRnInG
Do noT BuRn TREaTED WooD!
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are
normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm
weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odor for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a window to
sufficiently ventilate the room.
48
630591_1 TC950 InsTallaTIon Manual
Can’t get the fire going?
Use more kindling and paper (or firelighters). Assuming the chimney and vent
are sized correctly and there is sufficient combustion air, the lack of
sufficiently dry quantities of small kindling may be the problem. Thumb size
is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Slide the air control fully to the right for quicker burn and a more intense
fire.
Another problem may be wet or green wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood
and moisture being driven from the wood.
Can’t get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance itself has not reached
optimum temperature or the flue damper is positioned all

When loading the appliance, ensure that the air bar is not forced out of
position. For maximum efficiency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load
it to 50% of the firebox height and burn at a medium-low setting. The
cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not
enough heat is produced when only a few pieces of wood are burned or the wood
may not burn completely.
NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If
fuel is allowed to accumulate on the front lip, there is a chance it will fall
out when the door is opened.
Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more
heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50% moisture
while after proper
49
DCABEF
seasoning only about 20% of the water remains. As wood is burned, this water
boils off, consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter the
wood, the less heat is given off and the more creosote is produced. Dry
firewood has cracks in the end of the grain.
Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of
it and covered in early spring to be ready for burning the following autumn.
Cut the wood so that it will fit horizontally side to side.
F4 Smoke Information
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the
following:
Has the flue had time to get hot?
Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, flue connector or flue
system?
Is the smoke flow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky flue, a cold flue, a flue system
that is too short, or a flue system that is too close to trees or a higher
roof?

Allow the ashes in your firebox to accumulate to a depth of 50 – 75mm; they
tend to burn themselves up.
When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an
ash bed approximately 25mm deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot
charcoal bed.
Shovel some ashes out through the door into a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. Keep the closed container on a non-combustible floor or ground,
well away from all combustible materials. The ashes should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Cold wood ashes can
be used on the garden or in compost.

630591_1 TC950 InsTallaTIon Manual
DCABEF F6 Creosote Formation and Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense
in the relatively cooler flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected
regularly during the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire.

Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to
meet. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.
Close air damper on the appliance.
Call local fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact local
authorities for further information on how to handle a chimney fire.
After the chimney fire is out, clean and inspect the flue system for stress
and cracks prior to lighting another fire. Also check combustibles around the
flue system and the roof.
F7 Chimney Cleaning
Both the flue system and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned at least
once a year.
For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid
chimney fires; the venting systems for controlled combustion appliances may
need cleaning more often than required. These rates, however, depend on the
burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is
possible to clog a solid fuel appliance flue in a few days if slow,
smouldering fires are burned and the chimney is cold.
NOTE: Appliances burned consistently without hot fires may result in
significant creosote accumulations in the flue.
Certain items and considerations are important in cleaning a flue:
We recommend that you use a registered flue cleaning professional.
Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifically designed for flue
cleaning.
The flue connector and dampers as well as the flue should be cleaned.
The appliance’s firebox and baffle system should be cleaned if needed.
The flue system should be inspected and repairs made if needed.
The flue should be swept from below. Removal of the vermiculite panels and air
baffle from within the box is required to access flue for cleaning.

F8 Summary – Do’s and Dont’s
Do
Build a hot fire.
Use only dry wood.
Several pieces of medium sized wood are better than a few big pieces.
Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.
Clean flue regularly (at least once a year).
“Fine Tune” the air settings (if available) for optimum performance.
Don’T
Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to a depth of at least one inch. A
good ash layer provides for a longer lasting and better burning fire.
Burn wet wood.
Leave the door open after fueling/refueling the fire.
Burn one large log rather than two or three smaller, more reasonably sized
logs.
Burn at continually “low setting”. If the glass door is constantly blackened,
this means the firebox temperature is too low and energy is wasted by
incomplete combustion.

nEVER alloW CHIlDREn To TouCH Glass.
f the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and/or blemishes may
result. Normally a hot fire will clean the glass. The most common reasons for
dirty glass include: not using sufficient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly
hot, using green or wet wood, or closing the draft so far that there is
insufficient air for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner. A scotch brite pad may also be used for any fly ash on
the glass surface.
Do noT ClEan Glass WHEn HoT!
Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with the recommended
appliance glass cleaner (supplied). Thereafter clean as required.
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it
and always close the door gently. nEVER FoRCE IT sHuT!
If the glass should ever crack or break while the fire is burning, do not open
the door until the fire is out and do not operate the appliance again until
the glass has been replaced.
