3.0 Working principle of Inverell / I7000 work burner
Inverell / I7000 wood burner has been designed for installation in a build-in cavity. Combustion chamber,
zero clearance cabinet and its modern flush fascia are preassembled in a factory for ease of installation.
The built-in cavity and flue system requires lot of fresh air, which enters via cutouts in the bottom and
sides of the ZC cabinet. After entering the zero clearance cabinet, portion of this fresh air is channeled
for combustion of the wood fuel and raises the main firebox temperature to significant levels, which is
made of thick steel material. Remaining part of the air circulates around this superhot firebox, absorbs
heat energy from its outer surfaces and becomes hot to a significant level. This hot air rises and exist the
zero clearance cabinet through two circular ports located on top of the outer skin. These ports are
connected to warm air outlet vents using semi-rigid Aluminium ducts and finally exits back into living room
through warm air outlet vents installed on the built-in cavity. Along with this convection hot air, Inverell /
I7000 burner also radiates lot of heat energy through large glass window on its main fuel loading door and
heats the air in the close vicinity of the fire in the front. This combination of radiant and convection heat
makes Inverell / I7000 wood burner an efficient appliance to heat not only the living room but can warm
adjacent rooms as well.

4.0 Location and other important considerations required for Inverell / I7000 installation
- Location
•Evaluate the location of your fireplace, ducting and venting options. It is important to
determine how the fireplace is going to be finished.
•Ensure that there is adequate air supply within the room/area where the fire is installed
in, to ensure proper operation of the fireplace. Install outside air intake kit, if in doubt.
•Ensure that there are no exhaust fans within the vicinity of the fireplace as this can cause the
fireplace to emit fumes back into the room. Also, heat transfer kit with fan should not be
used in any circumstances.
- Built-in cavity
•Consider minimum size and clearances to combustibles given on page XX, for the built-in
cavity required for this wood burner.
•For framing, use dressed framing timber with minimum 90x45 cross section.
•Refer schematic diagrams shown on pages 9 & 10.
•Inside dimensions of the built-in cavity are important. In case, framing timber with larger
dimensions is used, maintain minimum inside dimensions.
•If there is a ceiling in the cavity, cutout with minimum 25mm gap should be made around outer
flue casing to ventilate the cavity. i.e. 300mm dia hole around 250mm outer casing of flue
casing.
•If the cavity opens into the ceiling space, provide adequate rodent proofing at ceiling level.
•Fix cladding only after installing fire, ducting and all the vents in place.
- Elevation of fire
•Decide height of burner install from the ground.
•Considering the modern aesthetic of this model, it is recommended that Inverell / I7000 be
installed at an elevated height.
•floor protector requirement depends upon the elevation of fire above ground
•Support shelf can be maximum up to height of 670mm above the ground
- Floor protector
•For an elevated installation of 350mm and more above the ground, only ash floor protector up
to 300mm distance in the front of the door glass is required.
•Ash floor protector must be constructed of non-combustible material such as fibre cement
board (e.g. Hardies Tile & Slate underlay), steel sheet or equivalent. The minimum width of
floor protector should be 1000mm.
•Larger and thicker floor protector can be constructed for aesthetic purpose.
•For installation below 350mm height, the floor must be non-combustible extending from rear of
the burner to 650mm in the front of door glass.
•Refer schematic diagrams shown on page 16
- Fresh air intake
•Fresh air intake into built-in cavity is a requirement for this installation for proper and efficient
operation of Inverell/ I7000 burner.
•This fresh air needs to enter the built-in cavity at the lower part of the fire.
•It can enter from bottom, sides or rear of the built-in cavity.
•It can enter the built-in cavity through the same room, adjacent room or outside of the house.
•Appropriate configuration should be used to avoid condensation, particularly if the air is
coming from outside.
•The air intake must not draw air from the attic, from the basement or from garage.
•The outside wall termination must be installed where it is not likely to be blocked by snow or
exposed to extreme wind and away from automobile exhaust fumes, gas meter or other vents.
•The fresh air intake openings must be covered with an appropriate mesh or similar to prevent
vermin etc. entering the built-in cavity and meet the local building code requirements.

Page | 8
•Refer schematic diagrams shown on page 13 for required opening.
- Warm air outlet vents
•2 x warm air vent must be connected to outer of zero clearance cabinet.
•These two vents can vent out the warm air in the front, side, rear, other adjacent room or either
combination of these.
•The vents must be installed minimum 300mm below the ceiling level
•If the warm air output vents are installed on the side or rear face of the built-in cavity, there
should not be combustible nogs or cladding material within 300mm distance from any part the
vent.
•Refer schematic diagrams shown on page 13 for required opening.
- Ducting
•Two lengths of 150mm diameter, semi rigid aluminium duct are supplied along with the fire.
•These can be expanded up to 1500mm length and are enough for installing warm air output
vent in the same room, above or near the burner.
•If required please purchase additional ducting that can withstand temperatures up to 250
0
C
- Cladding material
•Support shelf must be minimum 18 mm thick non-combustible material like Promina or
equivalent.
•For front, & side faces of built-in cavity, use minimum 9 mm thick non-combustible material like
Promina or equivalent.
•For front cladding, maximum 32mm thick non-combustible material can be used.
•The thickness of front cladding will dictate the nailing/anchoring position of the fire into built-in
cavity. Read carefully section 5.3 for positioning and anchoring fire inside the built-in cavity
depending upon thickness.
- Mantle shelf
•Considering the modern aesthetic of this model, mantle shelf is not recommended for Inverell /
I7000 burner.
•In case mantle shelf is to be build, it must be made of non-combustible material.
•Glen Dimplex do not recommend installing TV above the fire.
- Flue System
•150mm Flue with Double casing, Zero Clearance Flue Kit GDFLU021M Or equivalent flue kit
that is compliant to AS/NZS 2918:2001
•Top of the built-in cavity or chimney chase must be ventilated either, using 300mm dia
additional casing or side vent at the top of cavity.
•Do not connect the fireplace to a flue system servicing another appliance or an air distribution
duct.
•Refer schematic diagrams shown on page 15.
