INSTALL
STRICTLY
ACCORDING
TO
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
This heater must be installed according to the latest version of AS/NZS 2918, relevant building and local
government regulations, using the clearances and requirements tabled in these instructions.
Your wood heater must be installed by a qualified person whose work conforms with local council
regulations, Australian standards & manufacturers recommendations. Failure to do so will void your
warranty and could possibly void any home insurance.
Ensure that the electrical cable is accessible after installation. Ensure that the cable is kept away from hot
parts of the heater.
Ensure that the heater is not installed in an area that is subject to “negative pressure” ie indoor air
pressure that is below outside air pressure, eg due to installing the heater in an area without adequate
external ventilation. Negative pressure will result in flue exhaust being sucked back into the room,
which, if left uncorrected, can result in suffocation.

USING
YOUR
HEATER
SAFELY
Ensure you are completely familiar with the usage section of these instructions before operating the
heater.
Always open the air control before opening the heater door, to prevent a sudden rush of air into the
firebox.
We recommend using fire retardant gloves when stacking wood into the firebox to prevent burns.
When stacking wood into the firebox, place the logs carefully. Prevent logs from rolling forward by
placing them front to back. Do not throw logs in as this may cause embers to fly out of the firebox.
When removing ashes from the firebox, use a metal or other noncombustible receptacle. Even seemingly
cool ashes can contain small, glowing hot embers.
Do not overload or over fire the heater, as this may cause safe temperatures to be exceeded and result in
a fire hazard.
