BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
NOTE: Receiver for fan remote control must be fitted before
installing the appliance. Refer to section 3.6 Fitting Receiver
for Remote Control for more detail.
Refer to this section for clearance requirements and
instructions if the heater is to be in a built-in installation.
A licensed accredited installer should install all wood heaters.
Please ask your retailer to locate an installer.
3.1.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
The table below gives minimum clearances (in mm) from the
appliance to combustible materials. All dimensions are from
the surfaces on the outer box of the appliance (see diagram in
in following section Enclosure Construction). Internal
clearances are within the enclosure, and external clearances
are outside the enclosure (inside the area to be heated).
Description
Clearance
A (Rear Internal)
80
B (Side Internal)
40
C (Above internal)
200
D (Ceiling Internal)
1200
E (Side Wall External)
550
F (Ceiling External)

ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION (WITH MINIMUM
CLEARANCES)
The following drawing shows the construction of an enclosure,
with minimum clearances for the appliance to be installed (as
tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2918 Appendix B).
The frame is constructed of 90x45mm timber, displayed
as dashed lines.
The cladding on the front wall must be a non-combustible
material with a minimum thickness of 10mm.
If the cladding is greater than 10mm thick, the front edge
of the outer “skin” on the appliance can be adjusted by
loosening the screws and the narrow cover on top and
sides can be slid back sufficient to allow for the greater
thickness material to recess behind the front facia of the
appliance.
The firebox can be installed on 50mm thick Skamotec 225
board with overall dimensions of 1000mm wide by
600mm deep.
If installed 250mm or more above the floor, the firebox
can be installed on two 15mm thick compressed fibre
cement sheets with overall dimensions of 900mm wide by
480mm deep extending back from the inside face of the
front of the enclosure, supported on a timber structure
beneath as shown in the following diagram.
If installed at ground level, the firebox must be installed
on the same construction material as the floor protector
in front of the firebox, and extend to the rear of the
firebox cabinet.
Note: Additional supports should be used to support the
weight of the heater, zero clearance box and flue system.
These have not been shown in the drawing.
