1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL
TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Lady Kitchener AG10 - WB 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.

a hard/corrosive water area will not be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
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.
