iNsTALLATiON OF Fisher muLTi-FueL heATer
Fisher recommends you use a qualified solid fuel heater installer or a registered plumber to install your fire.
Your dealer or heating specialist will be able to help with recommendations as well as advise on permits/
consents required for the installation in your area.
Please follow carefully all dimensions and recommendations provided on the individual specification sheet
for your model of heater as these dimensions comply with the required New Zealand standard (AS/NZS
2918:2001).
As safety and emissions performance can be affected by altering the appliance, no modifications are
allowed without the written permission from the manufacturer.
iNsTALLATiON
1.
Unpack the heater and check that there is no damage.
2.
Ascertain the position of the roof penetration for the flue system. A correctly installed
flue system will normally prevent down draught problems during windy weather and
eliminate smoke spillage problems due to lack of draught.
3.
Ascertain suitable position for appliance and size of floor protector and check the ceiling
to ensure that no major structural members will be affected by the path of the flue.
4.
Check that the sub-structure is capable of carrying the heater (i.e. weight
consideration on the floor).
5.
Check measurements of the heater to combustibles or shield.
6.
Locate the heater in the required position (also see ‘Fitting Seismic Restraint’ after
installation instruction #10).
7.
Using a plumb line fastened to the ceiling, mark the centre of the flue penetration
position and cut the ceiling hole to the required size and frame out.
8.
Install the flue system (see flue installation instructions supplied with flue system).
