MORE ABOUT THE MALUTI

Solid sides.
The fire up front.

The Maluti is an open, freestanding fireplace in mild steel that stands against a wall. Solid side panels frame the open front, so the fire faces straight into the room. Burn wood or anthracite in the fire grate, use the built-in damper to manage the draught and let the ash drawer collect the ash. A 3.6 m flue and a cowl come with it.

SLOW WEEKENDS

Sun on the wall, logs in the grate.

Afternoon light across the wall, the logs catching in the grate and the house quiet for once. The Maluti stands on its hearth with the fire facing the room, ready for a slow weekend with a good book, a pot of coffee or nothing much at all.

The hearth, couch, coffee table, rug, artwork and décor are not included. The 3.6 m flue and cowl come with the fireplace; plan the hearth and clearances with an independent installer.

A LITTLE PRACTICAL THINKING

Plan the hearth, then light the fire.

THE FLUE

A 3.6 m flue in the box.

Three 1,200 mm pipes with two collars and a cowl come with the Maluti, for a 3.6 m flue. Need more height? Add extra 320 × 240 mm pipes and collars under Complete your setup.

THE HEARTH

Give it room.

Home Fires' manual asks for a hearth that reaches at least 350 mm in front of the fireplace and 200 mm beyond each side, and at least 1,000 mm between the fire and anything that can burn.

THE FIRE

Wood or anthracite. Not food.

Burn wood or anthracite in the fire grate. The Maluti is a fireplace, not a braai: Home Fires says not to prepare food in it, so keep the chops for the braai outside.

GOOD TO KNOW

Plan your setup.

Read your installation manual before you plan the hearth and the flue.

Read the instruction manual

What is included?

The Maluti 750 fireplace with solid side panels and a built-in damper, a fire grate, a grid and an ash drawer. It also comes with a 3.6 m flue (three 1,200 mm pipes with two collars), a cowl, an escutcheon plate, insulation material, touch-up paint and a guarantee certificate. Extra flue pipes and collars are options, and the hearth and installation are not included.

Which fuel can I use?

Wood or anthracite. The Maluti does not burn gas. It is a fireplace, not a braai: Home Fires says not to prepare food in it.

How much heat does it give?

Home Fires gives an indicative heating volume of 140 m³ for the Maluti 750. That is not a heat output in kW, so the Output Calculator has no figure for this fireplace. Send us your room size if you want to talk it through.

Is the flue included?

Yes. A 3.6 m flue comes with the fireplace: three 1,200 mm pipes with two collars, plus a cowl. The flue is 320 × 240 mm. For a taller run, add extra pipes and collars under Complete your setup, or send a photo and measurements for a configuration quote.

What hearth does it need?

Home Fires' manual asks for a hearth that reaches at least 350 mm in front of the fireplace and at least 200 mm beyond each side. Keep at least 1,000 mm between the fireplace and anything that can burn, such as furniture. Your installer checks your room against the manual.

How does the flue pass the ceiling and roof?

Home Fires' manual asks for at least 200 mm between the metal flue and a wooden roof truss, with the insulation it describes. Leave a 10 mm gap around the flue where it passes a standard ceiling, or 20 mm for a pine ceiling. Plan the route with an independent installer.

How much space does it need?

The casing is 750 mm wide and 445 mm deep to the curved front, and 750 mm high above a 160 mm plinth: 910 mm overall before the flue. The plinth is 640 mm wide and 380 mm deep, or 295 mm at its straight sides. These are product dimensions: your installer checks the actual unit and safe clearances.

Is it open at the sides?

No. This Maluti has solid side panels and an open front, so the fire faces the room. For glass at the sides, see the HomeFires 750 Maluti with Glass Sides.

What does the guarantee cover?

A Home Fires guarantee certificate comes with the fireplace. Ask us for the guarantee terms before you order.

Can you help with my setup?

Yes. Send a photo and measurements for a product and flue configuration quote. We do not install, so arrange installation with an independent installer.
