1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new ADF woodfire appliance!
Years of extensive research and dedication to innovation and quality, since 1976, has resulted in these
beautifully designed European appliances, constructed to strict Portuguese and European legislation, and
tested and Certified to the Australian Emissions, Efficiency and Safety standard requirements
guaranteeing excellent performance.
Please read this manual fully to ensure safe and efficient use of your heater and to comply with the
warranty guidelines.
Solid Fuel – Ecological Energy
Through photosynthesis, plants capture energy from the sun and transform it into chemical energy. The
trapped energy, eg in the form of wood, pellets, coal are called biomass fuels and can be converted into
various forms: electricity, fuel or heat. Biomass burning causes the release of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere, but since this compound had previously been absorbed by the plants that originated the
fuel, the CO2 emissions balance is zero, not contributing to the greenhouse effect on the planet.
Firewood is the most environmentally friendly way of producing heat in your home, as it is a fully
renewable resource. The amount of CO2 that is released during the combustion of firewood is not higher
than the amount that would be released from its natural decomposition. Wood ash is a mineral fertilizer
easily absorbed by the environment in a totally ecological way.

Firewood – Use
Choosing your wood
All wood types have a different calorific value. You should choose only well-seasoned hard woods.Do
not use logs that are too large.Split round logs so they cannot roll and cause a hazard.
Drying your wood
Whichever firewood is chosen, it must be very dry and seasoned. Unseasoned or green firewood does
not heat as much, because a large part of the energy is consumed in the evaporation of the water and
creosote contained in the wood, which is highly corrosive and will damage the appliance and
consequently it could void your Warranty. In addition, moist firewood produces a large amount of
smoke and little flame, which will foul the appliance, the glass and the chimney. When raining the
stored wood should be covered and well ventilated. Generally, green wood should be left to “season”
for two years.
Wood to Avoid
Softwoods and low-density wood: This kind of firewood release a lot of heat but burn too quickly and
projects embers and resin that foul the chimney and the interior of your woodstove.These should be
used as Kindling only, for starting your fire.
Do not use:
Wood with varnish, exotic wood, treated/painted timber, agglomerates that can produce toxic fumes
which will damage the appliance. Do not use drift wood or coastal wood with high salt content, it will
quickly damage the heater.
All ADF appliances are designed to burn firewood and firewood only, with less than 20% moisture
contect. The use of unseasoned firewood or firewood with moisture or other types of fuel not
recommended will void the warranty.See below, the drier the wood the better heat you get out of it.

WARNINGS:
A wood burning heater is, by its nature, an appliance that operates at high temperatures, so it is
necessary to take into account potential risk factors that should be avoided at all costs. Children must
be kept away from any combustion appliance and supervised in the room at all times.
Installation must be carried out by a licenced and certified installer.
The installation must meet the requirements of the manufacturers instructions, AS2918 and the Building
Code of Australia.
The appliance must be installed in such a way as to allow easy maintenance.
Incorrect installation may cause serious damage to the equipment and the safety of people and property.
Before installing your appliance, please ensure the following:
oThe appliance must be installed on a heat resistant surface to 600°C.
oThe floor must be structurally sound, to support the installation weight.
oReplacement outside air must be supplied to the room with the heater, a minimum equivalent to
half the cross-sectional area of the flue, ie 160cm2 free air.
oYour appliance must be non-permanently installed and easily accessible to ensure general
maintenance (chimney and equipment).
oThe appliance must not be cemented in its enclosure under any circumstances.3 – 5mm clearance
is required between the heater outer skin and construction materials, to allow for metal expansion.

4-Installation Instructions
The floor must be structurally sound.
The Hearth must have a heat resistant surface to 600°C, with an insulating thickness of
non-combustible material equivalent to 24mm of cement sheet with thermal conductivity
of 0.1m2.K/W per 9mm. eg 24mm Bellis Board or equivalent.
Dimensions required in front of the heater are shown in the Elevation drawings below.
The hearth must be included beneath the heater (eg 40mm Skamotec).
Heater with Fan option.
If the heater is supplied with legs to protect the Fan during transit; lay the heater on its back, to remove
the legs. The heater can then be carefully put into position. The Heater will need to be inserted into the
chimney build out before the construction is completed.
The Installations can be included into a Masonry installation, built as a default non-combustible chimney
opening meeting the requirements for the National Construction Code or the Building Code of Australia.
The tested installation is built into Skamotec 225. This can be done in 2 ways:
1. Chimney Build Out version (no combustibles within 50mm of each side wall, or
2. Cabinetry version; if Combustible materials will be built alongside the installation. This version
includes as extra side cavity with 50mm clearance each side. See below.
Note:
An Optional Kit form is available for the Chimney Build Out version.

1.Chimney Build Out Install:
The build out is constructed with Skamotec 225 40mm sheets to Skamotec specifications, the
Installation and Clearance specifications are included in the Elevation drawings shown below:

11
The parts list required for the build out is shown

12
The construction of the base includes 5 pillars and a base to support the heater, leaving cut out for the
fan to drop into. The bench cut out is 560mm x 230mm from the rear of the base.
The assembly includes a 30mm air gap behind the rear sheet to combustible material. Use Skamotec
off cuts to space out from the wall. The side walls continue to the rear wall, enclosing the gap.
The minimum Ventilation area must be included below the base of the heater and below the cap ( 9
and 10). The ventilation can be included in the front to the dimensions at L or on the sides, shown as
Q. The same total vent area is included below the base of the firebox, and at the top below the ceiling
cap height of the chimney chase, in either case.

Ducting – Convection Air Transfer Ducting
For the inbuilt models, Ducting can be added to the top of the firebox and transferred to vents either
on side of the Chimney breast via natural convection, or via an air transfer kit with fan to other rooms
(From other supplier). The blanking plates can be opened as below, to direct the convection heat into
the duct, which will also be forced via the heater fan (if fitted).
