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.
Driftwood with salt content will also cause rapid deterioration of the heater and
should not be used.
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 will void the warranty and greatly reduce the lifespan
of the fire. Emission of poisonous gases can also be experienced with the
burning of treated wood.

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.

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 Diagram 1:
A 300mm from breast of fire to outer edge of concrete floor protector (hearth)
B 30mm from heat sensitive floor to upper edge of concrete floor protector
(hearth)
The minimum width of floor protector must be 820mm and/or 410mm from the
centre of the heater.
2B FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS

similar thermal resistance)
and tiles/slate or similar
with sealed joints on top

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.
3 MANTEL CLEARANCES
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.

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 it is important to anchor the fire box down in case of 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 on pages 10 and 11.
8 Assemble and fit the fascia as per instructions on the relevant pages 27-39.
NOTE: 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.

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.

NOTES:
1. The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the floor
protector.
2. The flue cowl must be at least 600mm above the highest point of the roof if
within 3 metres of it, or 1 metre above the roof penetration if more than 3 metres
from the ridge.
3. No part of the building, or any adjacent building may be in or above a circular
area of a horizontal radius of 3 metres from the flue exit.
