1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIAN E SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES
IN A ORDAN E WITH THESE INSTRU TIONS.
The Forte Bay AG and the Athena Bay AG 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 VI INITY OF
THIS APPLIAN E 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
AN BE HAZARDOUS.
TIMBER TREATED WITH OPPER HROMIUM AND ARSENI TYPE
PRESERVATIVES WILL LEAVE TOXI RESIDUES IN THE ASH, FIREBOX OR
WITHIN THE FLUE; TIMBER OFF UTS FROM BUILDING ONSTRU TION
WILL OFTEN ONTAIN BORI SALTS. THE OMBUSTION OF THIS
MATERIAL OVER PROLONGED PERIODS AN PRODU E ADVERSE EFFE TS
ON REFA TORY LINING IN SOLID FUEL APPLIAN ES. EMISSION OF
POISONOUS GASES AN ALSO BE EXPERIEN ED WITH THE BURNING OF
TREATED WOOD.
Driftwood with salt content will also cause rapid deterioration of the heater and should not
be used.

2. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
If the heater is to be placed on or within 500mm of a heat sensitive floor, an insulate
floor protector will be required.
The insulated floor protector needs to extend under the heater and in front of the door. See
dimensions for floor protector. Similarly a 200mm extension is required on each side of
the door opening unless the insulated floor protector forms an abutment with a wall or
heat shield at a lesser distance.
The heater and floor protector must be fixed to the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor
points are provided in the feet of the unit.
INSULATED FLOOR PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION
An Insulate Floor Protector shall be a minimum thickness of
40mm , 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.
INSERT FLOOR PROTECTOR DIMENSIONS
WHEN BEING INSTALLED IN A MASONRY FIREPLACE
In a masonry fire place installation the standard front clearance from the fireplace breast
(brickwork, etc) can be reduced by increasing floor protector height.

4. PRE - INSTALLATION
(Refer diagram page 4)
In a Masonry Fireplace:
Before installing your Firenzo Insert it is important to check the condition of your
masonry chimney. Ensure any cracks are sealed, loose masonry repaired and the chimney
swept.
heck the dimensions of your fireplace opening. Firebricks may need to be removed and
the floor of the opening should be level using mortar if necessary.
Ensure any gaps between the chimney face and fireplace surround are sealed with heat
resistant material.
MANTEL – Masonry Fireplace
If the mantel shelf is of a combustible material there should be a minimum distance above
the top of the fascia of 300mm. This may be reduced if a deflector or heat shield is fitted
under the mantel.
MANTEL – using BUILT IN FIRE CANOPY
FORTE BAY – an NOT have a combustible mantel, however if the mantel is made of a
non heat sensitive material then the minimum distance above the top of the fascia must be
500mm.
ATHENA BAY – The minimum distance above the top of the fascia to a combustible or
non-combustible mantel is 500mm.
SIDE SURROUNDS – MASONRY & BUILT IN FIRE CANOPY
learance between the fascia and any wooden side surround must be 50mm providing the
timber protrudes no more than 100mm.

5. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1 arefully remove all packaging.
2a If installation is into a MASONRY ENCLOSURE: Remove firebricks as necessary
to fit the firebox into the opening. The firebox front when installed must be flush with
the finished fireplace surround and on a level base of the same height as the finished
floor protector. This may be achieved by using a concrete mix to level the base.
2b If installation is into a BUILT-IN CANOPY: onstruct the canopy box as per page 7
and install into framework following guides on pages 8-14 as applicable.
3 Slide the firebox into the opening so that the outer casing return folds are flush
with the finished fire surround.
4 DUE TO NEW ZEALAND BEING AN EARTHQUAKE PRONE OUNTRY, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO AN HOR THE INSERT DOWN IN ASE OF EARTH
MOVEMENT. See diagram page 20 showing Typical Insert Installation.
5 Install Flue as per instructions on page 18 and 19 if installing in a masonry fireplace
or page 8,9,10,11,12, 15 if using a Built-in fire canopy (zero clearance box).
6 Now that the firebox and flue are in position,
place 25mm white kaowool blanket
(supplie ) on top of casing.
7 As this fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity/enclosure, the fire
MUST be sealed around the front between the casing and the masonry or inbuilt
canopy. This is achieved by packing the yellow ISB insulation supplied between the
casing and the masonry or inbuilt canopy at the FRONT ONLY to maximum depth of
90mm.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AIRPORTS ON THE
SIDE OF THE HEATER BE RESTRICTED. Refer iagram page 20.
The fire sources its combustion air from the chimney cavity, not from the
room where the fire is installe . This ventilation air shoul be rawn own
the chimney cavity from the air gap set up when the top spacer bracket hol s
the weather collar off from the outer flue casing enabling air to be rawn into
the chimney cavity. Failure to ensure this air supply will starve the fire of air
an lea to poor performance.
8 Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on page 21.
N TE: In the case of some insert fires into existing masonry fireplaces it may be necessary
to install additional adventitious ventilation into the chimney cavity as per AS/NZ
2918 3.4.1.2 to assist air flow into the fire.. This ventilation should not be
taken/drawn from the room that the fire is installed in.

6. INSERT FLUE SYSTEM
For Installation in a Masonry Fireplace
WARNING; The appliance and flue system
must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS
2918:2001 and the appropriate requirements of
the relevant building code or codes.
1. Position heater in fireplace. Extend plumb
line from top of chimney, ensuring heater spigot
is in line with top of chimney. If not, flue pipe
offsets will be required.
2. Assemble flue pipes ensuring all seams are in
line and assembly is straight and tight with
crimped ends pointing downwards.
Secure flue pipes with at least 3 stainless steel
or monel rivets and seal.
3. Fasten chimney plate supplied onto the
chimney top. The chimney plate must be
weather sealed with silicone or mortar.
4. Install chimney liner on top of the chimney
plate.
5. Ensure flue pipe is extended over the
chimney liner by 180mm. Secure top spacer
bracket to the flue pipe and ensure slots fit
snugly inside the chimney liner.
6. Slide flashing cone over top of flue, until it
rests firmly over top spacer. Ensure ventilation
gap is not closed off. Secure with pop rivets or
self tapping screws.
7. Fit anti-down draught cowl. Do not secure
as it must be removed for cleaning.
CAUTI N: Mixing of flue system components from different sources or modifying the
dimensional specifications of components may result in hazardous conditions. Where such
action is considered the flue manufacturer should be consulted in the first instance.
Refer also to notes on page 19 regarding height of flue system outlet.
