INTRODUCTION In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and New Zealand require any wood fire installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001. They may also have local requirements in addition to those in the Standard. Check with your local Building Authority before commencing installation to find if you will require a Permit and whether there are extra requirements.

FREESTANDING MODELS UNPACKING After removal of the shipping carton or wooden crate, open the door and lift it from its hinges and keep it in safe plate to avoid scratching. Remove the packers and other loose pieces from the firebox. Remove and discard the screws holding the wood fire to the shipping pallet. Remove the wood fire from the pallet, lifting only from the lower edge of each side. DO NOT LIFT BY THE LOWER FRONT PANEL OR THE REAR PANEL.
PAGE 6
FLOOR PROTECTOR (Hearth) REQUIREMENTS — Freestanding models Unless your wood fire will be standing on an un-covered fireproof floor (containing no combustible material) extending at least 500mm from the appliance, it will be necessary to provide a floor protector (hearth). See below for construction details. Where the minimum size requirements bring the side of the floor protector nearly to a wall, it is advisable to extend the protector to meet the wall.
PAGE 7
INSTALLING THE FLUE You MUST use a flue system, which is tested and complies with the current installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001 Appendix F. Full instructions are supplied with the Masport flue kit, and these MUST be followed closely, including the minimum flue exit height from the top of the floor protector and the minimum exit height above the roofline or roof ridge as detailed in the instructions. Always seal the flue to the flue socket of the firebox using firebox cement or fiberglass rope.
PAGE 8
FIXING THE WOODFIRE IN POSITION Once the flue shielding system has been installed through the ceiling and roof, the wood fire can be placed in its approximate position on the floor protector, and the flue pipes installed. First, reach down through the flue spigot and carefully remove the polystyrene packing above the firebox top baffle, remembering that the baffle can be broken by rough handling.
PAGE 9
FINAL ASSEMBLY Before using the wood fire, confirm that the internal firebox components are in their correct positions. (See ‘FIREBOX LINERS” in the Maintenance section of the Owners Manual). Make sure that the baffle is correctly placed on top of the supporting shelves at each side of the firebox, and that it is back far enough for the two front corners to drop behind the retaining ribs on top of the shelves. On some models, a metal reinforcing channel is provided for the baffle.

FIREPLACE INSERT MODELS NOTE. The following instructions cover the installation of any insert heater into a sound masonry fireplace, which has an integral masonry chimney. Where such a chimney is not available, the heater can be installed into a timber framed structure provided that it is mounted in a special ‘built in’ (or ‘zero clearance’) metal shielding box. Built-in (zero clearance) installation kits and the special flue components necessary are available from your Dealer.

• In NEW ZEALAND:The LE 4000 Provincials can be installed in a masonry fireplace even though the fireplace has not been constructed to meet the 50 mm timber-to-masonry separation requirements specified in the Building Code and even though timber is in contact with the outside of the masonry. The LE 4000 Provincial has a curved sheet metal heat shield on the top surface of the heater cabinet to shield the flue spigot area from the front breast of the surround.
PAGE 12
Check the distance back from the face of the surround to the centre of chimney to determine whether the flue will require an offset fitting. If needed, fix it to the lower end of the assembled flue sections in the chimney and lift the flue assembly up while the firebox case is pushed back into the recess. Verify that the case will be fully supported in a level position when installed. Slide the case in and adjust its position so that its flange is in line with the face of the surround.
