B3 Corner Installations
If a cavity is to be created in a corner, the following drawing gives the minimum sized interior wall
dimensions.
A B C
DF700 775mm 695mm 420mm
DF960 915mm 945mm 435mm
DF990 915mm 945mm 435mm
B4 Hearth
A finished floor level hearth is not required, however it may be used for decorative purposes or for
protection of soft/ heat sensitive flooring as stated in the section B2 on page 11 to allow a smaller floor
clearance. The hearth should not obscure the front face of the fire, must protrude at least 200mm
from the face of the fireplace and be at least the width of the appliance.
A raised hearth or joinery should conform to the above guideline.
B5 Cavity Base
This appliance MUST be fully supported on its base. The base must extend over the entire area of
the underside of the appliance. The base must also be levelled to prevent vibration from possible fan
imbalance. The base of the cavity must be strong enough to support 120kgs.
The fireplace must be seismically restrained in a manner appropriate to the installation location.
B6 Wall Linings
NOTE: For false cavity installations, DO NOT line the wall before the fireplace has been fitted into the
cavity; the top standos are required to be upright for this installation type.
The DF-Series fireplace has stando rails installed on the outside of the chassis. The stando rails may
only be removed when installing the fire into a masonry cavity. The side-front flanges of the appliance
must be on top of the finished wall surface in order for the fascia to mount properly. Take into account
any plaster board, tiles, or any other finishing surface that may be intended for the finished wall
surface.
The wall board that lines the outside of this opening can be normal dry wall (plaster board) and does
not need to be non-combustible.
If, for some reason, the cavity dimensions exceed those specified in section B1 on page 10, a
register plate is available (New Zealand only) for purchase through your local Escea distributor.
NOTE: The temperature of the wall lining directly above the heater does get warm and hence may discolour
paint finishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall coverings. For durability of
finishes and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification.
