Room Ventilation
This fire needs an air vent supplying a minimum of 100cm2 free air into the
room from outside. The air vent must comply with current building regulations.
Burner Ventilation
“TRIMLESS” VERSION
When installing the “trimless” version of the Fire River additional burner
ventilation must be planned to provide fresh air into the burner box. This work
should be planned before starting to install the fire. This additional burner air
must be routed from “within the room the fire is installed” in to the burner box.
Failure to observe this will result in serious heat damage to the remote system.
This will not be covered by the warranty.
The normal way to do this is by creating a ducted space behind the
plasterboard from the skirting level. The air vent must be at least 20mm deep
and the full width of the burner flame. If it is positioned differently the flame
will become unstable.
The system must be sealed so that air can only travel in one direction.
See the images on Page 15.
FIRE WITH TRIM
If the Fire River is being installed with the optional steel trim a section of the
plasterboard below the front shelf must be cut out 860mm x 60mm. This gap
will be hidden by the trim when fitted. The trim, when installed correctly, floats
on the wall and has a gap all the way around. This gap will provide air into the
burner tray.
