In all cases, it is recommended to keep doors of adjacent rooms and/or windows slightly open to allow fresh
air circulation for a few minutes every hour to insure adequate air recycling.
Fuel Economy
Extended burn time and reduced fuel consumption can be obtained by partially closing the burner opening
with the shutter control handle to reduce the size of the flame. Note: This function is only available for wall
mount and free standing units.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WALL MOUNT MODELS
Eco-Feu does not supply the anchoring screws. It is up to the owner and installer to purchase the proper
screws for the type of stud they will be screwing into.
Always consult a qualified construction professional when making modifications to any wall.
- install into a secure and stable levelled position using anchorage hardware (screws, fastenings, etc.) that is
appropriate to solidly fix the unit into the structural elements of the wall (wood or metal structural frame,
cement block structural wall, etc.). Consult a qualified construction professional about the appropriate
hardware specifications and building precautions to securely install the unit; as a general guideline, the wall
mount unit must be fixed to withstand a minimum pressure of 68 kg (150 lbs) vertically and horizontally along
the wall plane;
- always install the unit at a levelled position;
- do not install directly on or beside wallpaper, furniture, mirrors, fittings, laminate or any surfaces that are not
fire resistant as the heat will impact the appearance and physical properties of those materials;
- install with the back of the unit perpendicular to the floor;
- install the unit with a minimum clearance of 30 cm (12 in) from the floor and 60 cm (24 in) from the ceiling.
- position the unit at a minimum of 61cm [24in] away horizontally from curtains, and other flammable
materials. Take into account possible air drafts coming from adjacent doors and windows to determine the
applicable safe distance from those openings to install your unit;
- Do not obstruct the air spacing in the back of a wall mount unit as it will prevent adequate cooling ventilation
of the unit;
- Always securely install the protective glass guard provided with the unit according to the Installation section
of this Manual;
- make sure the burner of the unit sits firmly inside the overflow container before lighting the unit. In case of
fuel spillage in the overflow container, remove the burner box, wipe completely with a dry absorbent cloth
and replace the burner into the overflow container before lighting the unit.
- Recommended minimum clearances around a Wall Mount Unit:
Overhead:
60cm (24in)
Sides: 30cm (12in)
Front: Accessible at all times From floor: 30cm (12in)
CAUTION: Risks of burns. Do *not* operate the unit without the protective glass guard completely attached.
Wait 20 minutes after the burner has gone out before touching or removing the protective glass.
WARNING
DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
Maintenance
