PART B - INSTALLATION
7. Safety Information and Standards
• It is very important to position the wood fire as close as possible to the flue system, and in an area
that will favour the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The wood fire
must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious
room possible. Recall that wood fires produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close
to a wood fire. A wood fire also functions by convection that is through the displacement of hot air
accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from
the wood fire may be facilitated by the installation of a fan.
• The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the
information published, in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and web
sites).
• Mixing of appliance components from different sources or modifying components may result in
hazardous conditions. Where any such changes are planned, Wood fire Builder International Inc.
Should be contacted in advance.
• A wood fire must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in
case of fire or fall to respect required clearances.
• Connect this wood fire only to a triple skin flue system with deco-mesh as per AS/NZS 2918,
appendix B, or any flue system tested to and past the requirements of AS/NZS 2918, appendix F,
for use with solid fuel or to a lined masonry flue system conforming to national and local building
codes.
• Use smoke detectors in the room where your wood fire is installed.
• If required, a supply of combustion air shall be provided to the room or space.
• Keep furniture and drapes well away from the wood fire.
•
DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCTWORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATION.
•
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A FLUE OR FLUE SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
