A Product Description and Installation Process
A1 Product description
The Escea DF-Series gas fire is a room sealed gas appliance designed to be built into a masonry cavity
or a false chimney cavity. The DF-Series fireplace is provided with stando rails installed to the outside
of the chassis to attain a zero clearance rating. These appliances are flued using co-linear flexible alu-
minium flue (with PolyPro flue extensions in some installations) connected to a powerflue. The user will
control their fire with the Radio Frequency (RF) remote that will normally be located in it’s wall mount
cradle. In addition to the RF remote the appliance has a single auxiliary On/O button on the unit.
When not in operation it is in a standby mode unless it is physically isolated from the mains supply.
A2 Recommended Install Process
The following diagram illustrates the steps required to install your gas fire.
The sequence in which you choose to do these tasks will vary depending on your individual scenario.
