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 performance can be affected by altering the appliance, no
modifications are allowed without written permission from the manufacturer.
Woodfire models covered by this manual have been tested 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 limits, so check before purchasing or
installing a particular model.
In areas covered by stricter emission regulations:-
(I) Coal must not be used as a fuel.
(II) 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 ACCESSORY AND CAN BE RETRO-FITTED
STRICLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED BY LOGAIRE.
THIS OPTION IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE CHRISTCHURCH AIR CLEAN ZONES OR IN
CANTERBURY.
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 RELEVANT 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 WRITNG 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 PERMISSIBLE 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 substitutes 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 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.
CAUTION: CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, e.g. GLASS PANELS, MAY RENDER THE
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR CONTACT WITH MOVING
PARTS, ONLY THE MANUFACTURER, THE MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE
AGENTS OR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PERSONS SHOULD REMOVE THE FAN
BOX (IF FITTED).

UNPACKING
Do not remove the polystyrene packers above the top baffle of the firebox at this stage. Do NOT
discard the top baffle.
Remove and discard the four bolts holding the woodfire to the shipping pallet.
Remove the woodfire from the pallet, lifting only from the lower edge of each side.
DO NOT LIFT BY THE LOWER FRONT PANEL OR THE REAR PANEL.
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 surface 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 vertical ones are possible. See AS/NZS 2918 for information on nonvertical flues and flues
passing through walls and eaves.

FLOOR PROTECTOR (Hearth) REQUIREMENTS
Unless your woodfire will be standing on an un-covered fireproof floor (containing no combustible
material) extending at least 500mm from the appliance, it will be necessary to provide 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 reasons. 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 3.

Your measurement ‘E’ must be added to ‘X’ and ‘Y’ to find the appropriate minimum overall
floor protector dimensions. See page 3 for minimum values of ‘E’. † Increase ‘Y’ by
120mm if the floor protector top is not at least 50mm above the floor.
FLOOR PROTECTOR (Hearth) CONSTRUCTION
In Australia the minimum floor protection requirement is a sheet of 6mm fibre cement board. It is usually
fastened directly to the floor.
The necessary minimum construction details for ash and insulating floor protectors are shown below, and
such constructions 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 decorative 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 materials 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.
Australia — One sheet 6mm fibre cement board.
New Zealand — Insulating Floor Protectors:- Two sheets of MICORE160 or
one sheet of WOODTEX (35 thick).

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 systems tested with your particular model
are approved for use at the tabled clearances.
TESTED AUSTRALIAN 150mm FLUE OPTIONS:-
Acorn Metal-Special Insulated Flue Kit with 900mm 120 polished reflector.
Floate Metal - Flomet Super Single with full length decorative heat shield with 120 solid back.
Statewide Heating - Model M 1 with 900mm half-round enamelled flue shield.
We recommend the use of genuine Logaire flue kits or kits approved by Logaire. The flue MUST be
installed in accordance 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 dispersal caps.
O TH E R F L UE S Y ST EM S
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 broken 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 protector to the floor, using at least two screws not less than 12 gauge,
or the equivalent size of coach bolts or toggle fasteners. 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 supporting shelves at each side of the firebox, and
that it is back far enough for the two front corners to drop behind the retaining 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 secondary air tube following the instructions in the
Maintenance section.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC INFORMATION
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 undesirable 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 burning, 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 performance.
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.
7

Move the heat output control away from the maximum position 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, particularly by the rain cap being too close to the
end of the flue. (See the flue cleaning requirements in the Maintenance section, page 9). If these checks
do not uncover the fault, add an extra length of flue (bracing it, if necessary) to counteract the down
draught effects caused by roof shape, nearby buildings, hills or trees.
•Switch off the circulating fan (if fitted) when the fire is burning 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 MAINTENANCE - page 9). 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
ELSEWHERE IN THE HOUSE IF YOUR HOME IS OF MODERN AIRTIGHT
CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS PARTICULARLY 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 installation. 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 woodfire. 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-combustible container with a
tightly fitting lid, and move the container outdoors immediately to a place clear of combustible
materials.
CLEANING THE GLASS
A good 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
A damp 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 components 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 locating hole
in the tube.
FIREBOX TOP
BAFLE
The special top baffle
material operates at very
high temperature to ensure
clean burning. Take care
not to knock and
damage 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 supporting 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 replacing 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 following items; the flue system (particularly the
flue sections nearest the firebox), the firebox top baffle, the firebox liners and the door gasket.
Replace parts only with genuine LOGAIRE spares.
