Adjusting the Support Frame (if required)
The Sofia 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.
The frame is adjusted by manipulating the bolts, which are located on each of the
four legs to achieve the desired height.
Seismic Restraint
All installation scenarios for Sofia require the use of hold-down anchors (one
at each corner).
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.
Fixing to Timber Flooring only
Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3mm diameter) or M10 X 90 coach-screws. Thickness of fl ooring must be 20mm minimum.
The fl ooring shall be fi xed to the nearest joist with two 8g x 40 screws per hold down anchor.
Fixing to Timber Floor Framing
Minimum 14g x 60 screws (6.3 diameter) or M10 x 90 coach-screws. These shall be fi xed a minimum of 40mm into
the centre-line of the existing fl oor joists. If screws cannot be installed directly into an existing fl oor joist, slid blocking
between joists (min size 90x45) shall be provided.
Ventilation
The Sofia wood pellet fire requires fresh air to function properly. Without
sufficient ventilation, the combustion process can be compromised,
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.
