INTRODUCTION 

In  the  interests  of  your  safety,  most  building  regulatory  Authorities  in  Australia  and  New 

Zealand  require  any  woodfire  installation  to  comply  with  Installation  Standard  AS/NZS  2918. 

They  may  also  have  local  requirements  in  addition  to  those  in  the  Standard.  Check  with  your 

local Building Authority before commencing installation to find if you will require a Permit and 

whether there are extra requirements. All LOGAIRE Woodfires have been tested to ensure that 

they will meet the appropriate safety Standard requirements if the instructions in this book are 

followed. As the safety and emissions performance can be affected by altering the appliance, no 

modifications are allowed without written permission from the manufacturer. 
Woodfire  models  covered  by  this  manual  have  been  tested  to  demonstrate  compliance  with 

current  general  emission  requirements  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  but  some  areas  have 

stricter  limits.  Only  some  of  the  models  meet  those  limits,  so  check  before  purchasing  or 

installing a particular model. 

In areas covered by stricter emission regulations:- 

(I)

 

Coal must not be used as a fuel. 

(II)

 

Wood fuel must have a moisture content of less than 25%.
