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.
