WARNING:

Failure to follow these instructions could cause a malfunction of the fireplace, which,

could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage. Failure to follow

these instructions may also void insurance cover and/or product warranty.

Installation:

Installation must be carried out by a registered installer who, on completion of the

installation, must issue a certificate of compliance, in accordance with national and/or local

codes. If a certificate of compliance is not issued then the Escea warranty may be void.

Warranty Repair and Annual Servicing:

1.0 Product Description:

The Escea ST900 decorative gas fireplace is designed to be built into a cavity. The

appliance is flued via Simpson Duravent Direct Vent Pro 5” x 8” Flue, or compatible

equivalent. The user will control their

fireplace with the Radio Frequency

(RF) remote. The glass on the front

of the appliance is considered a

working surface, and as such care

should be taken not to touch this

while the appliance is running as

it will get hot.



2.0 Creating the Cavity:

The dimensioned drawing below shows the size of opening that must be created to fit the

ST900. The wall directly above the fireplace should be finished / clad / lined after the

fireplace has been installed, unless there is an access hatch or the chase is open to the

ceiling cavity, which allows the flue to be installed after the wall has been lined.

See Appendix C at the back of this installation manual for clearances to combustible materials.

If the ST900 is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustiblematerial other than

wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full

width and depth of the appliance.

Note: It is not necessary to

line or vent the cavity,

and it may be constructed

with timber.



3.0 Hearth and Floor Clearances:

There should be at least 4” clearance between the bottom of the ST900 fireplace and any

horizontal surface below, for example hearths and floors.

3.1 Wall and Cabinet Clearances:

There must be a minimum of 4” clearance from the sides of the fascia to any protruding

side walls or cabinetry.

4.0 Wall Linings:

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 providing that it does not come

any closer to the fireplace than the dimensions shown in section 2.0. Note: The

temperature of the wall lining directly above the fireplace does get warm and hence may

discolour paint finishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall

coverings.

5.0 Television Positioning Considerations:

It is becoming common practice for consumers to mount flat screen TV’s above their gas

fireplace.

Most TV manufacturers have specified in their instructions that the TV should not be

installed on, near or above a heat source. For this reason TV location decisions rest solely

with the householder and Escea will not be held liable for any adverse affects on a TV

located near to an Escea fireplace that may be caused by heat.

The drawings below are suggestions that may be used as a GUIDE for those consumers

who do decide to locate their TV above an ST900 gas fireplace. These drawings show

ways to reduce the amount of warm air rising off the fireplace and onto the TV.

630167_3_Manual_Installation_US_RͲemotion

The material that the wall and mantle are made from will also affect the operating

temperature of the TV so it is the customers responsibility to satisfy themselves that their

TV mounting and mantle design will not exceed the listed maximum operating temperature

of their electronic goods.

5.1 Combustible Mantle Clearances:

The diagram to the right shows the minimum and

maximum allowable size for mantles or protruding

surfaces mounted above the ST900.

Note: Escea does not recommend placement of items

on the mantles shown in the diagram to the right. This

is because of the potential for items placed on or

above the mantle to be affected by the heat rising from

the appliance.

5.2 Non-Combustible Mantle Clearances:

If the entire installation (mantle, wall and cavity) is

constructed from non-combustible materials, the

clearances to mantles may be as shown in the shaded

area.

630167_3_Manual_Installation_US_RͲemotion



6.0 Corner Installations:

If a cavity is to be created in a corner,

the following drawing gives the minimum

sizes.



7.0 Laying Gas Pipe:

Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of relevant local or national codes. The

pipe sizing must be sufficient to deliver the following volume of gas to the fireplace with all

other gas appliances in the home running at the same time;

ST900 = 19,500 BTU/h max on Natural Gas

8.0 Connecting the Gas Pipe:

An accessible inline isolation or service valve must be fitted and pipe run to the fireplace as

shown below. An inlet pressure test point must also be fitted to the inlet side of the

appliance regulator. The regulator that is supplied with the fireplace MUST NOT BE

REMOVED. Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an

Escea fireplace, will void the limited appliance warranty.

HighAltitudeInstallations

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by

changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a

2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A, or 10% for elevations between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value

of the gas has ben reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas

utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

630167_3_Manual_Installation_US_RͲemotion



9.0 Battery-Pack Power Supply:

The ST900 runs on a battery pack. This battery pack uses 3x C cell batteries. To ensure

that only fresh batteries are used, batteries are not supplied with the fireplace.

To access the battery pack, remove the fascia (described in section 11.0) and the battery

pack will be on the lower right hand side.

The Battery Pack is secured in place with Velcro pads and may be removed by firmly

pulling upwards.

10.0 Fixing the Fireplace to the base and wall:

It is a requirement that this fireplace be

securely fastened to the wall and base. Once

the fireplace has been pushed back into the

correct position, use wood screws (or other

suitable fasteners) to fix the fireplace to the

cavity through each of the four holes in the

corners, as shown in the diagram to the right.

Note: It may be necessary to use washers on

the fasteners to securely fasten the fireplace to

the wall.

When fixing the fireplace in position ensure that

you leave a gap between the fireplace flange and the framing timber for the wall lining,

which will be added at a later stage.

11.0 Removing the Firebox Glass:

Pull the four hooks shown below towards you and then away from the glass to release the

glass frame underneath the hook.

Do not operate the appliance if the glass has been broken, damaged, or the glass is

not properly positioned/hooked onto the appliance.



WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass format removed, cracked or broken.

Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

630167_3_Manual_Installation_US_RͲemotion



12.0 Installing the Flue System:

Ensure all flue components are Simpson Duravent Direct Vent Pro 5” x 8,” or a compatible

equivalent.

Note: Consult Appendix A at the end of this installation manual (section 24.0) to

ensure correct length of flue is calculated.

There are two basic types of Balanced Flue System installations:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

Use the diagrams in sections 12.5, 12.6 & 12.7 to check if your proposed flue system is

acceptable. Section 12.9 will also need to be used to determine whether the flue terminal

location meets the requirements of ANSI Z21.88-2009 Vented Gas Fireplace Fireplaces.

Then use Appendix A to work out the quantities of the flue components that are required.

This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a

separate solid-fuel burning appliance

12.1 Any offsets in your flue configuration should be 45° where possible.

12.2 If your flue configuration has a horizontal run, there must be a minimum 1° inclination (3/4”

vertical rise per 3’ horizontal run) leading upwards towards the termination.

Do not install the flue with horizontal sections sloping down towards the termination.

This could cause the fireplace to operate incorrectly and possibly create an unsafe

condition.

12.3 The flue must maintain the following

clearances to combustible materials;

1” from all sides and bottom of

the flue, and 2” from the top of

the flue.



12.4 If your flue configuration falls on or near a restriction zone boundary line in diagrams 12.5,

12.6 & 12.7, it may require the restriction value from either side of the boundary line to

achieve the correct flame aesthetic, this may vary from installation to installation.
