GENERAL INFORMATION & OPERATION cont..
6.
Heat Output
A maximum heat output of approximately 13kW can be expected with dry wood. Due to the clean air requirements, there is reduced
control of the minimum heat output, and the fires have limited burn periods. The height of the flue system can have an effect on the draw,
control and burn periods of the fire. The stove can heat an area of approximately 100—140 square meters.
NOTE :
The condition, moisture content and type of wood burned will have a direct result on the performance of the fire.
A rural fire that can burn for longer periods can be ordered, but contact your local council for Installation and clean air compliance requirements.
7.
Construction
The firebox & door is constructed from 5mm steel plate. The outer skin and tray are constructed from 3mm steel plate.
8. Finish
High temperature steel parts are finished with a matt black high temperature paint designed to withstand the rigors of
normal combustion.
9. Glass Door
When in operation, the full view of the combustion process can be seen through the large ceramic
-
glass window. This win-
dow is kept clean by the inlet air passing from top to bottom over the glass. Any build up of residue that may occur on the
glass can be removed with a mild abrasive liquid cleaner or proprietary stove glass cleaner. Wet wood is more likely than
dry wood to produce window
-
marking emissions.
10. Testing
The Studio Stove firebox has been tested and approved to AS/NZS 2918:2001 regulations for solid fuel burning heaters &
also to AS/NZS 4012:2014 for compliance with MfE (Ministry for the Environment New Zealand) clean air requirements in
New Zealand & Australia. The stove has not been designed to operate with the door open for long periods. Clean air testing
is conducted with the door closed. See the attached data sheet on page 2 & the data plate attached to the fire. Contact with
your local TA (Territorial Authority) to check for local compliance.
11. Flue System
The installation and construction of the flue system must comply with AS/NZS 2918:2001. The fire requires a Warmington
tested and approved flue system only, as tested to AS/NZS 2918:2001. The tested flue system should not be modified in
any way without the written approval of the manufacturer. Any additional flue components to the flue system must comply
with AS/NZS 2918:2001.
12. Floor Protection
Floor protectors are normally designed to suit each individual setting. The installation and construction of the floor protector
must comply with AS/NZS 2918:2001. The Studio Stove requires an ash hearth (floor protector) as needed for some types
of wood burners.
13. Maintenance
The operation, components and general condition of the fire and flue system need to be checked annually, or more
frequently if required. Repair or replace parts when necessary. For more information, contact your local Retailer.
The chimney, firebox are to be cleaned and swept annually or more frequently if required.
Chimney Maintenance:
To clean the chimney, remove baffle plate inside the top of the firebox & close the door. With a ladder, access the
roof and remove the cowl assembly. Make sure the door is closed on the fire & close air control (turn clockwise) to
ensure soot etc. can fall into the firebox. With a chimney sweeping brush that suits the flue diameter, clean the flue
ONLY from the top down. Remove soot/ash from the firebox. This is recommended to be done annually before each
winter.
Firebox:
Keep your stove clean by polishing all over with a soft cloth when unit is cool. In humid climates, more interior firebox
corrosion will occur in the summer months than in winter. The stoves life can be greatly extended by cleaning the
firebox interior at the end of winter and spraying with Stovebright high temperature black paint.
14. Wetback
On special order a wetback model can be supplied. This unit acts as a hot water booster, producing about 1kW.
The
wetback sits in the firebox. The inlet and outlet are at the fire back and require standard 25mm pipe connections to the
threaded brass pipe of the wetback. Inlet and outlet pipes are at the same height permitting flow of water in either direction,
but need to be correctly connected by the plumber.
Note: Not all fires have the provision for a wetback.
