INTRODUCTION
In the interest of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and New Zealand
require any woodfire installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001, Appendix
E. 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. 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 with-
out written permission from the manufacturer.
The model I3000 has been tested to demonstrate compliance with current general emission re-
quirements in Australia and New Zealand, but some areas have stricter limits. So check before
purchasing or installing the requirements for your area.
NOTE: Dimensions do not include the insulating blankets. Add 15mm to each side and rear and top
to allow for insulating blanket.
CAUTION: Check with your local council or the manufacturer if you are allowed to install a water
heating booster with this fire.
GLASS
NOTE: Water booster can be installed with exit at L/H side as shown or with exit at R/H side.

ITS SERVICE AGENT OR A SIMILARY QUALIFIED PERSON IN ORDER TO AVOID ELECTRI-
CAL HAZARD.
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REVELANT
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 REGU-
LATORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE IDENTIFIABLE BY A COMPLIANCE
PLATE WITH THE MARKING ‘TESTED TO AS/NZS 4013’. ANY MODIFICATION OF THE AP-
PLIANCE 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.
WARNING FOR APPLIANCES WITH WATER HEATING DEVICES: DO NOT CONNECT TO AN
UNVENTED HOT WATER SYSTEM. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3500.4.1 OR NZS
4603 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REVELANT BUILDING CODE OR
CODES.

ASIA LTD ARE USED FOR INSTALLATION, as substitutes may adversely affect performance and
might nullify compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2001.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT
SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY RE-
SULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANU-
FACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
CAUTION: CRACKED OR BROKEN COMPONENTS, E.G. GLASS PANELS, MAY RENDER THE
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
NOTE
The following instructions cover the installation of the model I3000 Insert Fire into a sound masonry
fireplace which has an integral masonry chimney. Where such a chimney is not available, the
heater can be installed into a timber framed structure provided that it is mounted in a special ‘build
in’ (or ‘zero clearance’) metal shielding box. Build-in (zero clearance) installation kits and the spe-
cial fascia and the special flue components necessary are available from your Masport Heating
Dealer. Full assembly instructions are included in the kit.

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. Again it may also be installed in a timber framed enclosure using a ‘zero clear-
ance’ kit. (Please refer to separate installation instructions).
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: 660mm
Height: 590mm
Depth: 525mm
Distance from face of fire place surround to centre of flue spigot: 410mm
DISTANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS:
SIDE WALLS:
Minimum distance to heat sensitive (combustible) sidewalls: 500mm from centerline of heater.
MANTLE SHELF COLUMS:
Minimum distance from centre line of heater: 460mm.
Maximum projection out from fireplace surround: 105mm.
MANTLE SHELFS:
Mantle shelf must be at least 1150mm above the base of the heater and it must not protrude more
than 80mm from the face of the fireplace surround.
HEARTH REQUIREMENTS:
You need an insulating floor protector (hearth). The minimum requirement for an insulating floor
protector (hearth) is one layer of 6mm thick ‘Promatect H’ (or similar with a heat transition coefficient
of 5 W/m³ K), and a layer of tiles or slate. This will give a thickness of approximately 14mm, and the
extension from the face of the glass must be at least 359mm if the top of the floor protector is 14mm
above the surrounding combustible heat sensitive material (eg carpet). 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
14mm above combustible materials. Please refer to the following table:

INSTALLING THE FIREBOX AND FLUE
Remove the door from the fire by opening it and lifting it up until the top pivot comes free and then
lower the door until the bottom pivot comes free.
You require a 150mm diameter flue. We recommend the use of the GDA flue kit for insert fires.
Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as necessary to accept the firebox outer case.
Clear away any rubble and clean, inspect and seal the chimney and fireplace as detailed under
‘INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS’.
Check the distance back from the face of the surround to the centre of chimney to determine
whether the flue will require an offset fitting. If needed, fix it to the lower end of the assembled flue
sections in the chimney and lift the flue assembly up while the firebox case is pushed back into the
recess. Verify that the case will be fully supported in a level position when installed.

Fit the insulating blanket measuring 13X610x950mm approx from left to right. It will hang down ei-
ther side and a bit less at the rear.
Slide the case into the cavity and adjust its position so that flanges of the two side brackets are in
line with the face of the fireplace surround. See sketch.
Slide out the top front section of the case for access for fitting and fixing the flue. Lower the flue into
position. Seal the flue at the firebox spigot using fire cement or fiberglass rope. Secure the flue to
the spigot. Use stainless steel screws. Re-fit the sliding panel with the insulating blanket on top of
the firebox outer cabinet.
In New Zealand and some parts of Australia, Standards require that the woodfire be secured to
prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake.
To provide seismic restraint, screw the case to the base of the fireplace recess with at least two
6mm masonry anchors (Dynabolts) or two 12 gauge screws through the holes in the bottom of the
firebox outer case. (Fasteners not supplied).
INTERNAL PARTS
Ensure that the ceiling baffle, secondary air tubes and the eight side bricks and the two rear bricks
are in their correct position.
INSTALLING THE FASCIA
Unpack fascia and ash shelf.
Move fascia to the front of fire and gently slide the assembly inwards. Secure with 4 screws to the
cabinet. The screws are positioned either side of the door opening.
Attach the wooden knob to the air slide. Screw facing downwards.
Fit the ash shelf to the fire, by inserting two screws from the inside of the firebox into the ash shelf.
Make sure the screws are tight. Also take care not to scratch any fascia panels.
Fit the door. Hook the bottom pivot over the lower end of the hinge pin and lift the door up until the
top pivot drops over the top end of the hinge pin.
Check the installation.
Hand over the owner’s manual to the owner of the fire.
