INSTALLATION
1.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The unit must be installed according to all manufacturers’
instructions included in this manual. The manufacturer is not
liable for installations that do not meet the requirements
outlined in this manual.
Most building regulatory authorities in Australia require any
wood heater installation to comply with Installation Standard
AS/NZS 2918. Different states and councils may have varying
regulations. Check local building regulations before installing
the appliance.
All Nectre wood heaters have been tested to ensure they will
meet the appropriate safety standard requirements if the
instructions in this manual 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.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR NECTRE
WOOD HEATER BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM SHALL BE
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
APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS
CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918 APPENDIX B.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE-SYSTEM
COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING
THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS
CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
CAUTION: CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, EG. GLASS
PANELS OR CERAMIC TILES, MAY RENDER THE INSTALLATION
UNSAFE.
THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
APPLY TO THE NECTRE N900 OPEN FIREPLACE MODELS.
