Appliance Clearances
Please read these instructions completely before installing and operating the
EcoSmart™ Fire.
SELECTING APPLIANCE LOCATION
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the
required minimum room sizes and clearances to walls and combustible materials
(see Clearances images below and Minimum Room Size table).
Note: Fire Pit Kit appliances are made from 202 stainless steel which is
powder coated with super hi-temp black paint which prevents rusting. The
burners are made of 304 stainless steel. To ensure the burner(s) continue
looking great and to avoid rust or corrosion it is important any contamination
or debris are cleaned or removed from the burner immediately. When not in use,
keep the burner lid closed to safeguard the burner from debris falling into
the burner chamber and causing contamination. WARNING: Risk of Fire or
Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access.
Observe the clearances to combustibles recommended in this manual and the
burner manual. Ensure that your fire is positioned away from flammable
materials and other sources of ignition at all times. Due to high
temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Pay very close attention to positioning the fire away
from items that may move as a result of wind and drafts. For example
trees/branches/curtains/paper and the like. Keep children at a safe distance
at all times and never leave them unsupervised when the appliance is on or
hot.
VENTILATION
EcoSmart Fires do not require any form of permanent fixture or fitting, such
as a flue for ventilation, a permanent connection or any kind of fixed utility
for fuel supply. Do not cover any existing ventilation systems or structures
that are built or installed within the chosen installation area. To ensure
adequate ventilation, make sure to follow the guidelines in the table shown.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) calculates adequate air exchange as follows: In
a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusuallytight
construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air infiltration,
an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is provided through
infiltration. However, if the Burner is used in a smal room where less than
5.7m3 [200ft3] of air space is provided for each 1000 BTU per hour of
appliance rating (considering the maximum Burner setting), the door(s) to
adjacent room(s) should be kept open or a window to the outside should be
opened at least 25.4mm [1in] to guard against potential build up of indoor air
pollution. Do not install or operate

NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY HEAT SOURCE. This appliance is tested and approved as either a supplemental room heat or as a decorative appliances. It should not be factored as primary heat in residential heating calculations
Appliance Installation
These appliance kits must be installed into a fixed secure position before
being operated.
NOTICE: DO NOT INSTALL DIRECTLY BESIDE OR NEAR WALLPAPER, LAMINATE, VENEER OR
ANY SURFACE THAT IS NOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND HEAT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES (the
heat will impact the material, and in some circumstances the glue used for its
application). THE AREA AROUND THE APPLIANCE GETS HOT. HEAT SENSITIVE/REACTIVE
MATERIALS SHOULD NOT BE USED. DO NOT PLACE FLAMMABLE OBJECTS ON OR AROUND THE
APPARATUS. INSTALL ONLY IN A PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION. These appliances are not
designed to incorporate doors or opening covers. The appliance must remain
open at all times for ventilation – it is not designed to operate as an oven
or similar “hot box” – the flame must have a constant supply of air to operate
and be able to circulate and distribute the heat effectively Do not modify the
appliance in any way during installation. Cutting of sheet metal parts of the
appliance is prohibited. Expansion and contraction of internal parts due to
heating and cooling off may create noise. This is normal.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT THE GLASS WINDSCREEN
The appliance must be fully assembled before being operated. Failure to
install (or removal of) glass panels will void the warranty and render the
product unapproved for use with the included burner
FRAMING
Important Considerations for Framing
- The appliance must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the appliance, burner, glass charcoal and full fuel capacity.
- The framing dimensions shown in the instructions are the optimum dimensions that allow best fit with gyprock / sheetrock / plasterboard (or other facing/finishing material) after the appliance has been installed. Acceptable finishing materials include hardwood, fibre cement board, fire-rated medium density fibreboard (FR MDF), stone, tiles, steel, and fire-rated (FR) plasterboard, porcelain, and similar non-combustibles.
- Prepare the installation location. Make sure the platform is built to accommodate the weight of the appliance, burner, glass charcoal and fuel. Verify that the platform is level. In the case of insufficient capacity to hold the weight of the appliance, measures must be taken to reinforce the setting (for example installation of a plate for load distribution) so that the setting is suitable for installation
DEFINITIONS
Combustible materials – Materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other material that can ignite and burn,
whether flame produced or not, or plastered or unplastered shall be considered
combustible materials. Non-combustible materials – materials which will not
ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron,
brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
HardieBacker®, WonderBoard®, Durock® or materials that are reported as passing
ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube
Furnace at 750C shall be considered non-combustible materials. NOTE:
Illustrations reflect typical installations and are for DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY.
Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary
due to individual design preferences
BEFORE GETTING STARTED
- Carefully remove the appliance and components from the packaging.
- Inspect and report any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass windscreen.
- Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion! Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do not install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
Fire Pit Kits Installation
- Construct the fire pit surround/platform following the Cutout/ Clearance Dimensions shown in the table below Cutout/Clearance Dimensions Physical appliance dimensions should be verified against cut out dimensions BEFORE installation begins to confirm tolerances align.

For Indoor Installations insert the Indoor Safety Tray. The appliance must not be operated indoors without the Safety Tray installed. For outdoor installation go to Step 4.
-
Insert Burner into metal tray.
-
Insert Glass Screen. Align each glass screen tab with the designated slots in the metal tray, gently put into position. Exercise caution so as not to fracture or damage glass. Appliance must not be operated without the glass screen installed.
-
Add glass charcoal around the burner – be careful not to scratch the burner surface. Do not place glass charcoal on top of the burner or where they can interfere with the operation of the burner or the flame. OPERATE ACCORDING TO THE BURNER OPERATIONS MANUAL INCLUDED WITH THE BURNER.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Do not apply combustible materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified in this manual and the burner manual
