Introduction
In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory
Authorities in Australia and New Zealand require any woodfire
installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918.
They may also have local requirements in addition to those in
the Standard. Check with your local Building Authority before
commencing installation to find if you will require a Permit and
whether there are extra requirements. All LOGAIRE
Woodfires have been tested to ensure that they will meet the
appropriate safety Standard requirements if the instructions in
this book are followed. As the safety and emissions perfor-
mance can be affected by altering the appliance, no modifica-
tions are allowed without written permission from the manu-
facturer.
Woodfire models covered by this manual have been test-
ed to demonstrate compliance with current general emission
requirements in Australia and New Zealand, but some areas
have stricter limits. Only some of the models meet those lim-
its, so check before purchasing or installing a particular
model.
In areas covered by stricter emission regulations:-
1. Coal must not be used as a fuel.
2. Wood fuel must have a moisture content of less than 25%.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR
LOGAIRE WOODFIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED
SPECIALIST INSTALLER.
TANGENTIAL FAN IS AVAILABLE AS A LOGAIRE ACCES-
SORY AND CAN BE RETRO-FITTED STRICTLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED BY
LOGAIRE.
THIS OPTION IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE
CHRISTCHURCH AIR CLEAN ZONES OR IN CANTER-
BURY.
IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE
CARRIED OUT BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM MUST
BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918
AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELE-
VANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
WARNING: APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL COMPLY WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY
THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE
SHALL BE IDENTIFIABLE BY A COMPLIANCE PLATE
WITH THE MARKING ‘TESTED TO AS/NZS 4013’. 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.
IN SOME REGIONS POWER POINTS ARE NOT PERMISSI-
BLE WITHIN THE FLOOR PROTECTOR AREA, PLEASE
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY COMPONENTS APPROVED
BY LOGAIRE ARE USED FOR THE INSTALLATION, as sub-
stitutes may adversely affect performance and might nullify
compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE SYSTEM
COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODI-
FYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPO-
NENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.
THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL APPLY
TO LOGAIRE TALISMAN WOODFIRES.
NOTE: WHILE ALL MODELS HAVE BEEN TESTED TO
SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE EMISSION LIMITS OF
AS/NZS.4013:1999, ONLY SOME MODELS MAY BE
INSTALLED IN DISTRICTS HAVING LOWER ALLOW-
ABLE EMISSION LIMITS. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR
BOROUGH OR SHIRE COUNCIL BEFORE PURCHAS-
ING A HEATER.

Parallel Installation
Corner Installation
Positioning your Woodfire
Your woodfire must not be installed in a fireplace or alcove, or
under a ceiling of less than 2.3m height. No wall or other fixed
object may be closer to the front of the woodfire than one
metre. Determine the installation position for your woodfire
only after considering the necessary clearances (See Table
below) and checking the practicability of installing the flue
system. Regard heat resistant walls with heat sensitive sur-
face treatments (e.g. wallpaper or heat sensitive paints) as
heat sensitive walls. The flue shielding and the 25mm outer
clearance gap above the ceiling will occupy a diameter of
300mm, and this space must be available without the removal
of structural beams. Flue installations other than strictly verti-
cal ones are possible. See AS/NZS 2918 for information on
nonvertical flues and flues passing through walls and eaves.

Floor protection (Hearth)
requirements
Unless your woodfire will be standing on an un-covered fire-
proof floor (containing no combustible material) extending at
least 500mm from the appliance, it will be necessary to pro-
vide a floor protector (hearth). See page 5 for construction
details. Where the minimum size requirements bring the side
of the floor protector nearly to a wall, it is advisable to extend
the protector to meet the wall.

Corner floor protectors (Hearths)
While the information above shows the MINIMUM size of floor
protector necessary to comply with the Safety Standards, it
may often be desirable to use a larger size for aesthetic rea-
sons. A particular example is when the woodfire is installed
diagonally in a corner. It will be more practical to carry the
protector right into the corner and shape it as shown. The
chart facilitates calculation of the MINIMUM dimensions
required for floor protectors of this shape. Minimum allowable
values for dimension ‘E’ are given in the tables on page 4.

Floor protector (Hearth)
construction
In Australia the minimum floor protection requirement is a
sheet of 6mm fibre cement board. It is usually fastened direct-
ly to the floor.
The necessary minimum construction details for ash and insu-
lating floor protectors are shown below, and such construc-
tions are suitable for use on solid timber or particle board
floors. Bricks or concrete in contact with the flooring material
do NOT provide the required insulation. If the floor within
500mm of the appliance is concrete and has no combustible
material in contact with it, a floor protector is not required. In
this case, if tiles or pieces of slate etc. are required for deco-
rative purposes, they may be fixed directly to the concrete
floor.
In both countries, the protector must extend right under the
woodfire and a durable top surface will be needed to resist
damage from heat or dropped embers. Obvious surface mate-
rials are slate, bricks and ceramic tiles. Any gaps in the top
surfacing material must be grouted to prevent the penetration
of embers. A trim moulding will provide a neat edge finish.
Minimum Floor Protector Construction Details
Australia One sheet 6mm fibre cement board.
New Zealand Insulating Floor Protectors:- Two sheets of
MICORE160 or one sheet of WOODTEX (35
thick).
Ash Floor protectors:- One sheet 6mm fibre cement board,
(e.g. Hardies TILE & SLATE UNDERLAY)
Installing the flue
You MUST use a flue system which complies with the current
installation Standard AS/NZS 2918.
Full instructions are supplied with the flue kit, and these
MUST be followed closely, including the minimum flue exit
height from the top of the floor protector and the minimum exit
height above the roof line or roof ridge as detailed in the
instructions. Always seal the flue to the flue socket of the
firebox using firebox cement or fibreglass rope.Only flue sys-
tems tested with your particular model are approved for use at
the tabled clearances.

ished reflector.
Floate Metal - Flomet Super Single with full length decorative
heat shield with 120 solid back. Statewide Heating - Model M

Trim moulding
Timber or particle
board floor
approved by Logaire. The flue MUST be installed in accor-
dance with the detailed instructions accompanying it. A flue
heat shield (including a top dispersal cap), as detailed on
page 3, must be fitted at the back of the flue (directly above
the stove) to achieve the reduced wall clearances shown in
the table. The Logaire flue heat shield kit for 150mm flues is
Part No 551481. Kits include mounting brackets and heat dis-
persal caps.
OTHER FLUE SYSTEMS
Flues and flue heat shields other than those listed above may
be used, but if they have not been tested with these heaters,
their installation clearances will be those specified in AS/NZS
2918:2001 for untested flue installations. Unless otherwise
specified on page 4, all heat sensitive wall material must be
kept at least 600mm away from any flue which is not fitted
with a flue heat shield.
Fixing the woodfire in position
Once the flue shielding system has been installed through the
ceiling and roof, the woodfire can be placed in its approximate
position on the floor protector. Reach down through the flue
spigot and carefully remove the polystyrene packing above
the firebox top baffle, remembering that the baffle can be bro-
ken by rough handling. The flue can now be installed. Finally
adjust the stove position making sure the flue is vertical and
that the necessary minimum woodfire-to-wall distances are
being achieved. In New Zealand and some parts of Australia,
Standards require that the woodfire and floor protector be
secured to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. This
is best done by fastening the woodfire right through the pro-
tector to the floor, using at least two screws not less than 12
gauge, or the equivalent size of coach bolts or toggle fasten-
ers. Anchor the appliance through the holes in the leg pads.
Final assembly
Before using the woodfire, confirm that the internal firebox
components are in their correct positions. (See ‘FIREBOX
LINERS” in the Maintenance section).
Make sure that the baffle is correctly placed on top of the sup-
porting shelves at each side of the firebox, and that it is back
far enough for the two front corners to drop behind the retain-
ing ribs on top of the shelves. A metal reinforcing channel is
provided for the baffle. Fit this along the edge of the baffle
nearest the door.
If you need to remove the top baffle, first withdraw the sec-
ondary air tube following the instructions in the Maintenance
section.

Operating instructions
BASIC INFORMATION
THE DOOR HANDLE
The door is opened by pulling forward on the lower part of the
handle. Hold the handle in this forward position when shutting
the door, finally pushing it back to vertical to lock the door.
HEAT OUTPUT CONTROL
This control has a sliding action. Pull the knob out to increase
the heat output and push it in to decrease the fire. Shutting a
high fire down rapidly by starving it of air will result in undesir-
able emissions. For this reason, Logaire woodfires are
designed to settle down to lower heat outputs comparatively
slowly.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
Early stove designs starved the fuel of air to achieve long
burn times, creating over-rich fuel/air mixtures and emitting
pollutants. Modern designs avoid pollution by eliminating air
starvation. While this might seem to rule out overnight burn-
ing, it can be achieved with suitable fuel. Hardwood fuels give
longer low-burn times than softwoods, and thick pieces of fuel
burn longer than thin ones.
FAN OPERATION IF (FITTED)
Using the fan, except when the fire is set to a LOW burn, will
improve the heating efficiency and distribution of warm air in
the room. Select the high or low fan speed as desired.
ESSENTIAL ADVICE
Correct installation, the use of only DRY wood and adherence
to the following instructions will ensure satisfactory perfor-
mance.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MINIMUM HEATER-TO-
WALL DISTANCES SHOWN ON PAGES 3 AND 4 ARE
ALWAYS MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE HEATER AND ANY
HEAT SENSITIVE ITEMS. (FURNITURE, DRAPES, ETC.)
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE HEATER
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR
AEROSOLS OR PLACE THESE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS
APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE USED AS AN
OPEN FIRE.
LIGHTING UP
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Pull the heat output control fully to the hot position.
Crumple up several double sheets of newspaper and place
them in the centre of the firebox. Build a pyramid of thin, dry
kindling wood on the paper with some heavier pieces on top.
Light the paper at the bottom and leave the door slightly ajar
until the kindling has ‘caught’, then latch the door shut firmly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR
AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
WARNING: ALWAYS MOVE THE AIR CONTROL TO THE
OPEN POSITION (TO THE RIGHT) BEFORE OPENING THE
FIRING DOOR.
When the kindling is well alight, open the door slowly and add
some larger pieces of wood. Do not throw fuel pieces into the
firebox as this may damage the top baffle and the insulating
boards or firebricks.
Close and latch the door firmly.
Move the heat output control away from the maximum posi-
tion only after the fire is well established. A new woodfire
should not be run at higher than half setting beyond the first
30 minutes until it has been used for a total of 8 hours. Once
fully ‘run in’, we recommend running at full heat for up to one
hour after lighting as this will minimise creosote build-up in the
flue. The control can then be set wherever desired.
The special high temperature paint on the firebox will emit
some smoke as it cures during the first hour or so of running.
This is quite normal.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE
OPERATED WITH A CRACKED GLASS
Operating hints for clean burning
and best efficiency
FUEL: USE ONLY WOOD THAT HAS BEEN AIR DRIED IN A
SHELTERED WELL VENTILATED STACK, PREFERABLY
FOR AT LEAST 12 MONTHS. If moist fuel must be used, add
it only to a really hot fire, mixing it with a large proportion of
dry fuel. In Clean Air Zones, only wood may be used as fuel,
and it must have a moisture content not greater than 25%
(measured on a dry weight basis, in line with ECan’s rule AQL
5).
•Do not burn driftwood as salt will corrode the woodfire and
flue.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE
TREATED WOOD AS FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
•Add fuel reasonably often. A large fuel load placed on a
dying fire can drop combustion temperatures undesirably.
•Avoid large smouldering fires. A small intense fire is more
efficient.
•Move the heat control to maximum for a minute or so and
turn off the air circulating fan (if fitted) before opening the
door on a low burning fire. This will clear away any fumes in
the firebox.
•Always open the door SLOWLY, and close and latch it shut
securely again as soon as possible after re-loading.
•When loading fuel, place the pieces of wood in a front-to-
back direction to ensure good air access and the cleanest
possible burning.
•Load fuel carefully to avoid damage to the insulating
boards, firebricks or top baffle.
•If smoke wafts into the room from a fully established fire
while the door is open, first check that make-up air can flow
freely into the room to replace the air passing up the flue.
(See box below).
•Then check that the flue is not obstructed in any way, partic-
ularly by the rain cap being too close to the end of the flue.
(See the flue cleaning requirements in the Maintenance
section, page 7). If these checks do not uncover the fault,
add an extra length of flue (bracing it, if necessary) to coun-
teract the down draught effects caused by roof shape, near-
by buildings, hills or trees.
•Switch off the circulating fan (if fitted) when the fire is burn-
ing at low heat outputs. Use only the slow fan speed at
medium heat output, moving to the higher speed(s) only
when full heat output has been reached.
•Adjust the door to eliminate any minor leakage. (See MAIN-
TENANCE - page 7). Serious leakage will require a new
door seal.
REMEMBER, FOR THE FIRE TO DRAW PROPERLY, AIR
MUST BE ABLE TO ENTER THE ROOM WHERE YOUR
WOODFIRE IS INSTALLED. YOU MAY HAVE TO LEAVE A
DOOR SLIGHTLY OPEN AND PERHAPS A WINDOW

IMPORTANT IF AN AIR EXTRACTION FAN IS OPERATING
SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE. LEAVING THE ROOM
DOOR OPEN WILL HELP SPREAD WARMTH THROUGH
THE REST OF YOUR HOME.
Safety
•Always keep children well away from the woodfire when it is
alight.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
•Supervise young children to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.
•If the supply cord is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or a suitably qualified person in order to
avoid electrical hazard.
•Ensure that the electrical plug is accessible after installa-
tion. The heater must not be located immediately below an
electrical socket.
•In some regions power points are not permissible within the
floor protector area, please check with your local authority.
•Do not put furniture, clothing, firewood
or other combustibles near the wood-
fire. The minimum safe distance is
420mm from the sides and 1 metre
from the front.
•Do not leave the fire unattended with
the door open.
•Fires can be caused accidentally by
wrapping seemingly cold ashes in paper. It is much safer to
place ashes outside in a metal container with a close fitting
lid.
•If a fire is burning up inside the flue, slide the heat output
control to the low heat position (to the left) and call the Fire
Service. DO NOT OPEN THE WOODFIRE DOOR.
•If you have had a flue fire, inspect your flue for damage
before lighting another fire.
•Do not modify your woodfire in any way without obtaining
written permission from the Manufacturer.
CAUTION. THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE USED IF THE
GLASS IS CRACKED OR BROKEN. THE GLASS SHOULD
BE REPLACED ONLY WITH A GENUINE CERAMIC GLASS
REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOGAIRE
DEALER.
Maintenance
ASH REMOVAL
This should be necessary only very occasionally. Simply
shovel out any excess, always leaving a bed of ash on the
bottom of the firebox. Place the removed ashes in a non-com-
bustible container with a tightly fitting lid, and move the con-
tainer outdoors immediately to a place clear of combustible
materials.
CLEANING THE GLASS
Agood hot fire will burn away any deposits left from a long
slow burn. If desired, a NONCAUSTIC oven cleaner can be
used.
CLEANING THE CABINET
Adamp rag with a touch of household detergent is sufficient
to maintain the finish.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH
The latch is adjusted by rotating the door catch peg. First
undo the lock-nut on the inside of the peg, then rotate the peg
to the position where the cam portion gives the right locking
pressure. Holding the peg in this position, re-tighten the lock
nut. The hinge can also be adjusted inward if necessary.
Move it in about a millimetre at top and bottom to maintain an
even gasket pressure.
AIR SLIDE
If the air slide does not move freely, apply a small amount of
heat resistant Logaire air slide lubricant, Part No 794113.
CLEANING INSIDE
If you wish to clean the flue or clear away creosote debris, the
internal components can be removed easily (See below). We
recommend that you check the condition of all internal com-
ponents at least once a season to make sure they are still
serviceable.
The tube will have one removable angle pin to prevent it from
moving endways and falling out. One end of the tube will have
a welded-on locating pin. To remove the tube, simply withdraw
the angle pin from the tube, move it sideways until one end
can be swung down from its locating hole in the firebox side
and then move it sideways in the other direction to disengage
it completely from the firebox.
When re-fitting the tube, ensure that the small air holes will
discharge generally toward the lower front of the firebox,
rotating the tube until the angle pin can be fitted into the locat-
ing hole in the tube.
FIREBOX TOP BAFFLE
The special top baffle material operates at very high tempera-
ture to ensure clean burning. Take care not to knock and dam-
age it. For flue cleaning or baffle replacement the secondary
air tube must first be removed as described above. When
replacing the baffle, ensure that it is sitting on top of the sup-
porting shelf at each end and that it is pushed right to the
back until the front corners drop behind the small retainer ribs
on the shelves. Re-fit the secondary air tube.
FIREBOX LINERS
While the insulating boards are durable, they will eventually
require replacement. A cracked liner does not require replac-
ing unless it will no longer stay in position in the firebox.
There are two insulating boards at each side of the firebox.
They have a metal retaining channel along their top edges to
hold them in line. The wider leg of the channel goes against
the wall of the firebox.
Fit the rear edge of the board assembly behind the retaining
post on the back wall of the firebox and lower the assembly
into place, making sure the bottom edge fits behind the posts
on the firebox base.

Fan maintenance. If fitted.
Only the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly
qualified person should remove the fan box to carry out
fan installation, servicing and maintenance. The fan
should need little attention other than occasionally (perhaps
once a year) removing it to clean dust and lint from the
impeller. First unplug the mains lead from the power point.
Withdraw four screws on the rear faces of the back legs and
lower the fan box clear of the heater.
Clean the impeller blades carefully by blowing or vacuuming,
and reassemble.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid electrical hazard.
CLEANING THE FLUE
This may be needed about once a year or more frequently
under adverse conditions. Signs of creosote and soot build-up
are inadequate draught, smoking when the door is opened
and a dull thud when the outside of the flue is tapped. A
blocked flue can be cleaned only by sweeping. DO NOT USE
CHEMICAL CHIMNEY CLEANERS.
FLUE INSPECTION
Check regularly that the flue is sound, particularly the metal
base of enamelled flues.
Before each heating season
To ensure continued safety, check the condition of the follow-
ing items; the flue system (particularly the flue sections near-
est the firebox), the firebox top baffle, the firebox liners and
the door gasket. Replace parts only with genuine LOGAIRE
spares.
