1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL
TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Lady Kitchener AG 08 Dryback has been tested to N.Z. Standards
AS/NZS 2918:2001.
If this heater is incorrectly installed a house fire may result. For your safety follow the
installation instructions carefully.
Do NOT connect the heater to a chimney serving another appliance.
Although the exterior of the heater may appear cool, contact with the unit may cause
burns, warn children and others of the possibility of injury should they touch the
heater.
Do NOT dry clothing or unseasoned wood directly in contact with the heater.
Keep all household combustible materials at least 600mm away from front of the
heater. This includes clothing, furniture, wood, newspaper, plastic, matches, etc.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY
OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
Use caution when reloading with fuel. Do NOT attempt to load fuel into the heater
when the fire inside the stove is at or near its peak.
Do NOT burn large quantities of paper or combustible material that would create an
extremely hot/quick fire.
Do NOT burn highly coloured paper or brochures (junk mail).
USE ONLY DRY WOOD. AVOID BURNING WET OR GREEN WOOD.
THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL
CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
TIMBER TREATED WITH COPPER CHROMIUM AND ARSENIC TYPE
PRESERVATIVES WILL LEAVE TOXIC RESIDUES IN THE ASH, FIREBOX OR
WITHIN THE FLUE; TIMBER OFFCUTS FROM BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
WILL OFTEN CONTAIN BORIC SALTS. THE COMBUSTION OF THIS
MATERIAL OVER PROLONGED PERIODS CAN PRODUCE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON REFACTORY LINING IN SOLID FUEL APPLIANCES. EMISSION
OF POISONOUS GASES CAN ALSO BE EXPERIENCED WITH THE BURNING
OF TREATED WOOD.
Driftwood with salt content will also cause rapid deterioration of the heater and should
not be used.

2. INSTALLATION RESPONSIBILITIES
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM SHALL BE INSTALLED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZ 2918 AND THE APPROPRIATE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN
APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS
CONSIDERED
TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH AS/NZS 4013.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION
OF COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE
SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE
CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
Strict adherence to these instructions will meet these standards.
Any variation from these installation instructions or any doubt about them must be
checked against the requirements of the Standards.
Please leave this manual with the owner when installation is complete.
3. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
The heater should always be installed on top of its base due to high temperatures
sustained over long periods. The base must be anchored to both the floor protector and
the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor points are provided in the base or on the rear
legs.
PEDESTAL, DRAWER BASE & LEGS MODELS:
If the heater is to be placed on or within 500mm of a heat sensitive floor, an
insulated floor protector with a minimum thickness of 40mm is required
consisting of 20mm of an approved insulation material i.e. 2 sheets of 10mm
micorboard or superlux, 10mm tile backing board and 10mm tiles or similar on the top
surface. All joints on the upper surface should be sealed to prevent spilt ash from
contacting any heat-sensitive material.

FLOOR PROTECTOR DIMENSIONS:
Refer to drawings under 4.Installation Clearances.
The standard front clearance from the front of the door glass can be reduced by
increasing the insulated floor protector height, as tabled below:

5. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove all packaging and timber.
2. Remove parts from inside the firebox.
3. Remove both front and rear top castings.
4. Make sure baffles and triangular bricks are positioned as in diagram on page 11.
5. Place pedestal/drawerbase onto floor protector, fit firebox on top of same.
The leg model comes assembled so place complete unit on the floor protector.
6. Fit cast tops to firebox for positioning fire on floor protector taking the necessary
final clearances into consideration. These measurements coincide with the figures on
page 5 - Installation Instructions.
6. Secure both fire and floor protector to floor - see Seismic Restraint page 7. This is
a New Zealand Standard requirement due to NZ being earthquake prone.
7. Assemble and fit flue as per instructions (page 8 & 9)
8. A flue pipe shield must be fitted. The minimum requirement is for a single skin,
semi-circular, stainless steel flue shield with a reflective inner surface 1200mm high.
This should be installed so that the bottom edge of the flue shield is at the same level
as the top of the flue spigot and spaced off the flue pipe by approximately 35mm.
9. Assemble and fit the gold/silver/black rails.
10. Fit door knob with spacer as per drawing shown herewith -
11. Fit the air control knob - place the flat on the knob to the flat
on the shaft situated on the right hand side of the fire.

6. FREESTANDING FLUE SYSTEM
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position heater on floor protector ensuring all heater
clearances are correct as per clearances on page 5.
2. Once the location is confirmed, the appliance and floor
protector shall be fixed to the floor itself (refer to
page 6 & 7 .
3. Extend a plumb line from the centre of the fire flue pipe
spigot to the ceiling. Mark position on ceiling and roof.
4. Trim hole and nog as required ensuring that a 25mm
safe clearance between combustible materials and flue
components is maintained. Fix with non combustible
spacers and screws or clouts on all four sides.
5. Cut and frame (when required an opening in the roof,
position the outer casing through the roof until it is flush
with the under side of the ceiling, making sure as with
the ceiling there is a 25mm safe clearance between
non-combustible materials and the flue components.
Fix as in step 4.
6. Fix appropriate flashing around outer casing to the
roof to ensure a weatherproof seal.
7. Assemble flue pipe sections ensuring all seams are in
line, the assembly is straight and crimped. Ends are
pointing downwards. Fix each joint with three stainless
rivets or self-tapping screws.
8. Place ceiling plate with folded edges upwards over
heater spigot.
9. Position the flue pipe into the heater spigot. The flue
pipe can either lowered from the top as a single unit or
fed up from the room a length at a time, ensuring that
all joints are fixed properly.
10. Slide the inner casing into place, between the outer casing
and the flue pipe.
11. The flue pipe must extend 200mm above the outer casing.
Note: Extra lengths of flue pipe, inner and outer casing
may be required to achieve the minimum clearance from
the roof.
12. Slide top spreader over flue pipe down into outer and inner
casing and tighten.
13. Slide cowl over flue pipe until it rests on spreader. Secure
with rivets or self-tapping screws.
14. Fit rainhat. Do not fasten as it must be removable for flue
pipe cleaning.
15. Fix ceiling plate to ceiling maintaining an even gap all
around flue pipe.
Note: Ensure ceiling plate is spaced off from the ceiling with ceramic spacers supplied.
A flue pipe shield must be fitted – see item 11 on page 6.
CAUTION: Mixing of appliance or flue system components from different sources or modifying the
dimensional specifications of components may result in hazardous conditions. Where such action is
considered the manufacturer should be consulted in the first instance.
