CAREFULLY.
Do NOT connect the heater to a chimney serving another appliance.
The exterior of this appliance will reach extremely high temperatures and will
burn if touched. Ensure that children or other vulnerable people or pets are
prevented from touching an operating appliance by using a fire guard or fire

3. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
According to AS/NZS 2918:2001
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 a minimum of 20mm of Insulation board (Micore 160, Supalux,
Promatech H, Eterpan LD or product of similar thermal resistance) and
tiles/slate or similar with sealed joints on top surface to protect from spilt
ash/embers. The required size of the floor protector is displayed on page 5.
The floor protector consists of a number of components, it shall include a
continuous layer of heat-resistant material extending under the appliance to the
perimeter of the floor protector. All joints shall be fixed to prevent accidental
separation, and shall be sealed to prevent any spilt ash or embers contacting
any heat sensitive material.
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.
