Installation
General Information
There are two critical components when installing a Sofia Insert Wood Pellet Fire: 1) Ensuring the wall cavity is
the necessary size and 2) ensuring 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 the support frame. The Sofia is typically installed into a masonry Cavity.
Dimensions – Sofia Insert & Built-In Heater
Refer to Safety Test ARS 22/3116 & 22/3112R1for all clearances to combustible.

As the Sofia Insert Wood Pellet Fire is typically installed
into a masonry cavity, it can still be installed into a
compliant cavity that will house the fire and the frame.
The front facia of the enclosure must be made of a

Built-in fire clearances don’t apply in a non-combustible cavity. The
above clearance to combustibles on the flue are only applicable
within the fire cavity. Clearance outside this, eg at a ceiling/wall
thimble reverts to 25mm as per ARS flue test 05/1185.
If installing a floating hearth, ensure sufficient clearance is left below
the file to allow for installation of the chosen surround,

Within the cavity, there must be a minimum of 320mm
clearance to combustibles above the fire, and a
minimum 600mm gap between the top of the fire and

Positioning
Generally, the Sofia 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/NZS 4014.6. 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. Sofia has a convection fan which blows air 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 Ravelli
pellet fires.
Installing
Installation of the Ravelli Sofia 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
instructions 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 has been installed. In the event
of failure to respect these precautions, Pellet Fire Solutions 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. Sofia 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 “ Creating the Cavity”) to ensure sufficient 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 Sofia 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 “Creating the Cavity” 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. Sofia has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918:2001 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 all 75mm stainless joints is mandatory
- use high temperature Maniseal. Both inner and outer flue 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 Sofia 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.
TELEVISION CLEARANCES

If electrical equipment (eg Plasma TV, LCD TV or home

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 flooring must be 20mm minimum.
The flooring 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.
