1. WARNINGS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL
TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Bronte Top Outlet AG is tested to N.Z. Standards AS/NZS 918: 001.
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 2918:2001 AND THE APPROPRIATE
RE UIREMENTS 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 RE UIREMENTS
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 0mm of
an approved insulation material i.e. 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 floor protector height, as tabled below:
FLOOR PROTECTOR HEIGHT 0 12.5 25 37.5 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 113
F/P DEPTH FOR PED OR D/BASE 511 484 460 436 433 409 391 376 361 343 325 300
F/P DEPTH FOR LEG BASE 400 364 331 300 300 300 300 300 300 300 300 300

5. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove all packaging and timber.
. Remove loose parts from inside the firebox.
3. Position the base with angle steel down onto the floor protector, taking the
necessary final clearance into consideration. The base has the flue centre indicated on
the flat steel bracket. These measurements coincide with the figures on page 5 for the
heater clearances when assembled.
4. At this point a hole in the ceiling to accommodate the flue may be cut and the liners
installed.
5. Remove both front and rear top castings.
6. Place firebox on base. Secure with brackets provided.
7. Replace the rear top casting and refit the front top casting ensuring it fits neatly into
the sealed channel.
8. Refit the stainless steel flue shim in the top rear section of the firebox.
9. Assemble and fit flue and flue shield as per instructions (page 8 & 9).
10. Place the cook top grill (which must be fitted) on the top rear casting of the fire
and secure to the rear heatshield on the fire with the bolts provided.
11. 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 1 00mm 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 5mm.
1 . Secure the wood-burner to the floor protector for seismic restraint (refer
instructions page 7). DUE TO NZ BEING AN EARTHQUAKE PRONE
COUNTRY, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ANCHOR THE FIRENZO FIRE DOWN IN
CASE OF EARTH MOVEMENT.
13. Assemble and fit the decorative rails.
14. Fit handle as shown on diagram }
15. Fit the control knob - place the flat on the knob to
the flat on the air control shaft situated on the right hand
side of the fire. Press home firmly.

6. FLUE INSTALLATION
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 the flue pipe.
Note: Ensure ceiling plate is spaced off from the ceiling with ceramic spacers supplied.
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 flue manufacturer should be consulted in the first instance.
WARNING: The appliance and flue system shall be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001 and
the appropriate requirements of the relevant building code or codes.
A flue pipe shield must be fitted – see item 11 on page 6.
