INTRODUCTION
In the interest of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia requires any woodfire
installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001, Appendix B. They may also
have local requirements in addition to those in the Standard. Check with your local Building Author-
ity before commencing installation to find if you will require a Permit and whether there are extra
requirements. This woodfire has been tested to ensure that it will meet the appropriate safety
Standard requirements if these instructions are followed. As the safety and emission performance
can be affected by altering the appliance, no modifications are allowed without written permission
from the manufacturer.
The model I2000 has been tested to demonstrate compliance with current general emission re-
quirements in Australia, but some areas have stricter limits. So check before purchasing or in-
stalling the requirements for your area.
NOTE: Dimensions do not include the insulating blanket. Add 15mm to rear and top to allow for in-
sulating blanket.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
FIREPLACE PREPARATION
For a safe installation the following matters must be attended to:
The masonry fireplace and chimney must be thoroughly cleaned and checked for soundness.
The chimney must not connect to a second fireplace.
The joint between the chimney face and the fireplace surround must be checked and sealed to
prevent leakage if necessary.
The fire may be installed in a sound masonry fireplace equipped with a sound masonry chimney.
Further it may be installed in a masonry enclosure by following the requirements detailed in AS/
NZS 2918:2001.
The flue pipe must be fitted right up the masonry chimney to exit above the chimney top, and the
space between the flue pipe and chimney must be ventilated at the top. The area of this vent must
be not less than 10’000mm². The vent must be fitted with means to prevent significant ingress of
water and debris. The flue must be free to move up and down at the top as it expands and con-
tracts with temperature changes. This movement can be 25mm or more.
FIREPLACE CAVITY DIMENSIONS (MINIMUM):
Width: 600mm
Height: 580mm
Depth: 470mm
Distance from face of fire place surround to center of flue spigot: 368 mm
DISTANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS:
SIDE WALLS:
Minimum distance to heat sensitive (combustible) sidewalls:
644mm from centerline of heater Or 220mm from the side of the fascia
MANTLE SHELF (SHIELDED):
Mantle shelf must be at least 1187mm above the base of the heather OR 487mm above fascia top
and it must not protrude more than 150mm from the face of the fireplace surround. It must be
shielded with a 1.2mm thick sheet metal panel measuring 165 x 800mm minimum. For best ap-
pearance you may increase the width of the shield to the width of the mantle shelf. The shield is
angled and must be spaced 20mm in the front and 30mm at the rear from the lower surface of the
mantle. (Refer Sketch on page 5).
MANTLE SHELF COLUMS:
Minimum distance from center line of heater:
454mm.or 30mm from the side of the fascia
HEAT SENSITIVE (COMBUSTIBLE) MATERIALS BEHIND FASCIA:
Exclusion zone for combustible materials behind fascia is as follows:
Width min: 910mm
Height from base of heater: 1212mm i.e. top of the mantle shelf whether a shielded mantel shelf is
fitted or not

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS:
You need an insulating floor protector (hearth). The minimum requirement for an insulating floor
protector (hearth) is 24mm thick ‘PROMATECT H’, SUPALUX, or ETERPAN LD (or similar with a
heat transition coefficient of 5 W/m³ K), and a layer of 8mm tiles or slate. This will give a thickness of
approximately 32mm, and the extension from the face of the glass must be at least 420mm (or
432mm from fireplace surround) if the floor protector is flush with the surrounding heat sensitive ma-
terial. The floor protector must be at least 900mm wide. It is desirable to carry the floor protector
all the way inside the fireplace to ensure that the bottom of the fire does not rest below the
top surface of the floor protector. Of course an existing fireplace should already have a suitable
hearth. Please check the dimensions.
The projection distance for the floor protector can be reduced if the height of the hearth is more than
0mm above combustible materials. Please refer to the following table:
