1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Kompact RU is 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. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
AS/NZ2918 Section 3.3 states that if the heater is to be placed on or within 500mm of
heat sensitive materials in the floor, then a floor protector will be required. This floor
protector shall extend under the heater and not less than 300mm beyond the front of the
fuel loading or ash removal openings. The width of the floor protector shall be not less
than the width of the appliance and shall extend not less than 200mm from each side of
the fuel loading or ash removal openings unless it forms an abutment with a wall or
heatshield at a lesser distance.
The heater and floor protector must be fixed to the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor
points for the heater are provided through the 2 front feet of the unit.
2A FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
SOLID CONCRETE FLOOR
If the heater is to be installed onto a SOLID concrete floor protector (hearth) that has no
heat sensitive materials in its construction it must meet the following MINIMIUM
dimension as marked A & B from the above diagram:

3. PRE – INSTALLATION
Before installing your Firenzo Kompact it is important to check the condition of your
masonry chimney. Ensure any cracks are sealed, loose masonry repaired and the
chimney swept.
Check the dimensions of your fireplace opening are adequate to accept the new heater.
Existing linings may need to be removed.
The heater must be installed on a level non-combustible base.
MANTEL CLEARANCE
If the mantel shelf on your masonry fireplace is of a combustible material the minimum
distance from the floor protector is as follows. This may be reduced if a Firenzo Kompact
deflector is fitted.

SIDE PILLAR CLEARANCE
The minimum clearance from the side of the fascia to any heat sensitive material must be
5mm providing the material does NOT protrude more than 150mm.
4. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Carefully remove all packaging.
2 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.
3 Slide the firebox into the opening so that the outer casing return folds are flush
with the finished fireplace surround.
4 DUE TO NEW ZEALAND BEING AN EARTHQUAKE PRONE COUNTRY, IT
IS IMPORTANT TO ANCHOR THE INSERT DOWN IN CASE OF EARTH
MOVEMENT. Restraint points are provided through the fires two front legs.
5 Install Flue as per instructions on page 8 and 9.
6 Now that the firebox and flue are in position, place 25mm white kaowool
blanket (supplied) 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. This is
achieved by packing the yellow ISB insulation supplied between the casing and the
masonry at the FRONT ONLY to maximum depth of 80mm. As shown in section 6,
page 10 diagrams.
8 Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on the relevant pages 11-15.

5. 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.
CAUTION: 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 9 regarding height of flue system outlet.
