How can I verify that the installation has been correctly executed?
We are aware of how important it is to feel confident that your stove has been properly installed. Therefore, if
you wish to verify the installation, we recommend you use the following diagram to guide your inspection:
Cowl
(Stainless Steel)
Flashing Cowl
(Stainless Steel)
250mm Flue Pipe Casing
Covers the full length of the main flue from the
roof space to the cap.
(Galvanized Steel)
Water Tight Flashing
(not supplied)
Ceiling Plate
Flue passing through the ceiling should have
two casings.
(Stainless Steel or Galvanized Steel)
150mm Flue Pipe
(Stainless Steel/ Black Stainless Steel)
From the heater to the cap.
Flue Shield
(Stainless Steel/ Black Stainless Steel)
Rear Protection
Refer to Table 3.1
in AS/NZS 2918:2001
Floor Protection
Required if the floor is covered in wood, carpet
or plastic (unless the floor is constructed of a
non-combustible material).
Secondary
Air Inlet
Air is preheated

How does the double combustion system work?
Double combustion stoves have a secondary air inlet that preheats the air at a high temperature.
This hot air mixes with the combustion gases burning the volatile material and reducing
particulate material. This process is known as post combustion.

How do I choose appropriate firewood?
It is important that you understand that one of the elements that will allow you to obtain the maximum
performance from your stove is the purchase of good quality fuel. To maximize the effectiveness of your
stove, follow the instructions detailed below on how to buy, store and manipulate firewood.
BURN ONLY UNTREATED SOFTWOOD DO NOT BURN COAL
– A highly relevant variable that determines the quality of the firewood is its humidity content. This must be
between 18 and 25% to ensure an adequate duration and avoid energy loss as a result of water evapora-
tion as this reduces the power of the stove. Additionally, by using firewood with low humidity content, you
will avoid the production of creosote (a residue of combustion that is deposited on the flues of your stove),
resulting in lower maintenance costs.
– Remember to buy firewood that is no longer than 30cm and approximately 15cm in diameter. This size
firewood fits easily in your stove and the larger logs will have to be cut to fit.
– Having good quality firewood of appropriate humidity content does not only depend on buying it correctly.
This is only the starting point. If the storage of the wood is not adequate,
