2.1 Positioning

Generally Sara should be installed in a centrally located

position within the home. When deciding where to

position the appliance, you must consider the following:

1. The place of installation of the pellet ﬁre must

comply with local and national regulations. The

pellet ﬁre must be fuelled only with quality pellets

manufactured to standard AS/NZS4014.6. The

pellet ﬁre cannot operate using traditional ﬁre wood.

2. Do not install a pellet ﬁre in a bedroom or room

where people sleep.

3. Sara has a convection fan which blows air through

tubes in the direction the ﬁre faces. For optimum

performance and heat circulation, locate the pellet

ﬁre in a large and open room that is centrally located

in the house.

4. The ﬁre requires a 230 volt power supply and comes

with a 2m plug in power lead. There must be easy

access to the socket so the ﬁre can be isolated

from the power if required . If the cable supplied is

not long enough to reach the nearest outlet, use a

suitable 3 pin extension cord. A surge protector is

recommended for use with all Ecoteck pellet ﬁres.

2.2 Installing

Installation of the Ecoteck Sara Wood Pellet Fire must

be undertaken by an approved installer, who must

then give the purchaser a declaration of conformity of

the appliance, and will assume all responsibility for the

ﬁnal installation and consequent correct function of the

installed product.

Please read this Manual thoroughly before commencing

installation as failure to follow the instruction could cause

damage to the pellet ﬁre or property. It is also necessary

for the registered installer to take into consideration

all the laws and national, regional, provincial and local

regulations present in the country in which the appliance

hasbeeninstalled. Intheeventoffailuretorespectthese

precautions, Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility.

1. The ﬁre must be installed on a ﬂoor with sufﬁcient

carrying capacity. If the existing building does not

meet this requirement, appropriate measures must

be taken (i.e. a load distribution plate).

2. Sara must be installed on a non-combustible

surface. This surface must protrude a minimum

of 150mm from the front of the closed pellet ﬁre

door and a minimum of 200mm from the side of the

appliance. Please note that if a ﬂoating hearth is to

be installed, an allowance must be made below the

ﬁre for installation of the chosen surround.

3. Check clearances to combustibles (see “5. Creating

the Cavity” on page 4) to ensure sufﬁcent space

is created in the cavity, and that the position of

structural elements near the proposed ﬂue have

adequate clearance.

4. Check clearance for service – as the Sara is

designed to be pulled out, as long as there is front

access, this should be sufﬁcient.

5. Check there is sufﬁcient ventilation for combustion

air and this is unaffected by mechanical extraction.

An external air intake may be required. (see

“5. Creating the Cavity” on page 4 for cavity

ventilation requirements).

6. There must be sufﬁcient circulation of air in the room

where the pellet ﬁre is installed. Never open the

door of the pellet ﬁre while it is functioning.

7. Check there is a suitable ﬂue location (studs, joists,

rafters etc).

8. Sara has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918

using the Davins manufactured ﬂue, Test Report

ARS 05/1185. Installation is not exclusive to these

nominated kits, though an alternative ﬂue should

only be considered following consultation with your

local council.

9. Because of the positive pressure in the ﬂue, sealing

of al 75mm stainless joints is mandtory - use high

temperature Maniseal. Both inner and outer ﬂue

This manual is designed for the technician/installer.

Please read this entire manual before operating your

Ecoteck Wood Pellet Fire. Failure to follow these

instructions may result in poor performance, damage to

the ﬁre, property damage, bodily injury or even death.

Any unauthorised modiﬁcation of the appliance or use

of replacement parts not supplied by the manufacturer

is prohibited.

All national and local regulations shall be complied with

when installing this appliance. Your local Nature’s Flame

dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information

with regards to your local building codes and installation

regulations.

joints must be riveted using stainless steel rivets.

10. Before connecting the pellet ﬁre electrically, the

connection of the exhaust spigot must be completed

(speciﬁcally for non-aluminium pellet ﬁres) with the

ﬂue. (All ﬂue joins must be sealed with Maniseal

exhaust cement).

ATTENTION

There are two critical components when installing a Sara Insert Wood Pellet ﬁre:

1) Ensure the wall cavity is the necessary size.

2) Ensure relevant clearances to combustibles are adhered to both inside and outside the cavity.

Depending on the circumstances, you may also have to consider the use of a hearth, and the installation

of a support frame.

3.1 Pellet Quality

Pellet quality is important - please read the following:

This wood pellet ﬁre has been designed to burn ¼“

(6mm) diameter wood pellets, manufactured to the AS/

NZS 4014.6 standard only.

Theperformanceofthiswoodpelletﬁreisgreatlyaffected

by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned. As

the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so

will the performance and heat output of the wood pellet

ﬁre.

Caution: It is important to select and use only pellets

that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as

high salt content. Wood pellets manufactured to the

AS/NZS 4014.6 standard are recommended. Dirty fuel

will adversely affect the operation and performance

of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel

Industries (PFI) has established standards for wood

pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets

that meet or exceed these standards.Ask your dealer for

a recommended pellet type.

1. The protection grill inside the pellet tank must never

be removed.

2. Do not light the heater without having ﬁrst

performed the daily inspection, as described in

the Sara Owner’s Manual. Scrupulously follow the

maintenance program.

3. Do not switch off the pellet ﬁre by disconnecting the

electricity mains supply.

4. Do not clean the pellet ﬁre until the appliance and

the ashes have cooled down completely.

5. Carry out all operations in maximum safety.

6. When the pellet ﬁre is operating, the surfaces,

glass, handle and pipes become very hot. During

operation these parts must only be touched using

adequate heat protection.

3.2 Spare Parts

Use original spare parts only. Do not wait for the

components to be worn out before replacing them.

Replace any worn component before it is completely

broken to prevent any accidents caused by the sudden

breakageof components. Perform periodicmaintenance

checks as described in “2. Positioning and Installation of

the wood pellet ﬁre” on page 1.

As the Sara Insert Wood Pellet Fire is typically

installed in new homes, it is necessary to build a

compliant cavity that will house the ﬁre and the frame.

The front facia of the enclosure must be made of a

ﬁreproof rated board (above 80°C) such as (but not

limited to) Micore, Supalux or Eterpan, and this must

extend to a minimum of 600mm above the top of the

ﬁre. Within the cavity, there must be a minimum of

300mm clearance to combustibles above the ﬁre, and

a minimum 600mm gap between the top of the ﬁre

and the ceiling of the cavity. The cavity also requires

a minimum of 100cm2ventilation.

6. Installing into an existing cavity - Retro-ﬁt

As the Sara Insert Wood Pellet Fire is typically installed

in new homes, it is necessary to build a compliant

cavity that will house the ﬁre and the frame. The front

facia of the enclosure must be made of a ﬁreproof rated

board (above 80°C) such as (but not limited to) Micore,

Supalux or Eterpan, and this must extend to a minimum

of 600mm above the top of the ﬁre. Within the cav-

ity, there must be a minimum of 600mm clearance to

combustibles above the ﬁre, and a minimum 1200mm

gap between the top of the ﬁre and the ceiling of the

cavity. The cavity also requires a minimum of 100cm2

ventilation.

8. Adjusting the Support Frame

The Sara Wood Pellet Fire must be installed on the supplied, adjustable support

frame. The height of this frame can be set at the home-owner’s desired height,

up to a maximum of 530mm.

The frame is adjusted by manipulating the bolts, which are located on each of the

four legs to achieve the desired height.

9. Seismic Restraint

All installation scenarios for Sara require the use of hold-down anchors (one at

each corner).

10. Fixing to Concrete Floor

• Minimum M8 expansion anchors (M10 recommended) or min M8 epoxy- set

anchors.

• Approved Anchors: Expansion Anchors-Ramset Dynabolt and Trubolt, Hilti

HAS.

• Epoxy-set Anchors – Ramset Epcon, Ramset Chemset and Hilti HVU.

11. Fixing to Timber Flooring only

Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3mm diameter) or M10 X 90 coach-screws. Thickness of ﬂooring must be 20mm minimum.

The ﬂooring shall be ﬁxed to the nearest joist with two 8g x 40 screws per hold down anchor.

12. Fixing to Timber Floor Framing

Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3 diameter) or M10 x 90 coach-screws. These shall be ﬁxed a minimum of 40mm into

the centre-line of the existing ﬂoor joists. If screws cannot be installed directly into an existing ﬂoor joist, slid blocking

between joists (min size 90x45) shall be provided.

13. Ventilation

The Sara wood pellet ﬁre requires fresh air to function properly. Without

sufﬁcientventilation,thecombustionprocesscanbecompromised,resulting

in issues such as a lazy ﬂame, smoke, incomplete fuel combustion, wasted

fuel, excessive ash build-up and clinker.

To ensure the wood pellet ﬁre does not struggle to access combustion air,

ventilation (air vents) should be situated as close to the ﬁre as practicable,

within the parameters of the cavity.

the ﬁre

Also see “17.3.4 Menu Five - Stove State (Fire Status)”

on page 12.

17.3.7 How to synchronise the remote control with

the ﬁre

All insert stoves are ﬁtted with remote-control, radio-

wave handset and a receiver, located on the right-hand

side of the stove. Sometimes, due to interference

from other electrical household appliances (microwave

ovens, satellite decoders, mobile phones) the

connection between the stove and the handset may be

interrupted. If this happens, the following operations

must be carried out to reinstate the connection:

1. Switch the power to the ﬁre off at the mains switch.

2. Press the triangle keys (1) and (2) on the remote

together for about three seconds. The display will

show “SCEGLI UNITA 0”

3. Using triangle key (2), select the unit frequency to

be loaded (select unit 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 ) Note: 0 or 1

are usually the best but different houses may work

better on other settings.

4. Switch the power to the stove back on (if the unit

is pulled out this will need pushing back into its

cradle) .

5. Press the red button (3).

6. If the operation is successful, UNIT LOADED 0, 1, 2

or 3 will appear on the remote. You may now need

to turn the power to the stove off and back on again

to refresh the connection with the remote.
