INSTALLATION
With all wood heaters, installation of
the flue is critical because the flue
creates the final performance of a
wood heater.
Your flue must extend the required
height above your roof to promote
sufficient draught. If the flue is not
high enough, the heater will not
“draw” properly, causing smoke to
spill back into the room.
The installer must make sure that the
heater and flue are correctly and
safely installed in accordance with
AS/NZS 2918.
All heaters must be fully flued.
All Large heaters must be
installed with a minimum of 4.5
metres of flue.
Stainless steel flue must be fitted
securely with crimped end down,
fixed and sealed to heater. The flue
must also be secured along each
l e n g t h t o p r e v e n t a c c i d e n t a l
separation.
Failure to do this will cause the flue to
leak and correct draught will not be
achieved, which will prevent the
heater from burning correctly.

INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918 AND THE
APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING
CODE OR CODES.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE
APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN

CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH
OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS

The appliance or flue system should
not be modified in any way without the
written approval of the manufacturer.
FIREPLACE INSERTS
A fireplace insert
be installed in
must
a full masonry fireplace, which has
been inspected for cracks and
deterioration. The chimney must be
cleaned and a flue pipe connected to
the heater in accordance with
AS/NZS 2918.
You must install a flue the entire
length of the chimney. This will help
your heater perform to its full
capabilities. It will also be easier to
clean.
Chimney must be sealed to be
waterproof and vermin proof.
Refer to diagrams on following pages
for all installation clearances.
A floating isolator panel needs to be
installed. This panel MUST use non-
combustible sheeting. Do not fix the
panel.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
If your wood heater is to be installed
on any combustible material, such as
carpet or timber, you must place a
floor protector (also known as a
hearth) underneath the heater.
Please refer to clearance details on
the following pages for floor protector
requirements for each heater model.
It is not recommended that you make
your own hearth.
The hearth and the heater assembly
must be placed on a firm and level
surface.
LOCATION
Do not place your heater in areas of
h i g h t r a ff i c , n e a r f u r n i t u r e o r
draperies.
Check that the intended location will
not interfere with ceiling joists, rafters,
valleys and ridges.
