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 I5000 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 install-
ing 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.

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 I5000 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: 600mm
Height: 600mm
Depth: 490mm
Distance from face of fire place surround to centre of flue spigot: 308mm
DISTANCES TO HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS:
SIDE WALLS:
Minimum distance to heat sensitive (combustible) sidewalls: 510mm from centerline of heater.
MANTLE SHELF COLUMS:
Minimum distance from centre line of heater: 410mm.
Maximum projection of column out from fireplace surround: 100mm.
MANTLE SHELFS (UNSHIELDED):
Mantle shelf must be at least 1425mm above the base of the heater and it must not protrude more
than 150mm from the face of the fireplace surround.
MANTLE SHELFS (SHIELDED):
Mantle shelf must be at least 960mm above the base of the heather 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 appearance you may increase the width
of the shield to the width of the mantle shelf. The shield must be spaced 12mm from the lower sur-
face of the mantle.
HEAT SENSITIVE (COMBUSTIBLE) MATERIALS BEHIND FASCIA:
Exclusion zone for combustible materials behind fascia is as follows:
Width min: 820mm
Height from base of heater: 1283mm if there is no mantel shelf fitted and also if there is a un-
shielded mantel shelf fitted.
Height from base of heater: 983mm if there is a shielded mantle shelf as above fitted.

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’, SUPALUX, or ETERPAN LD (or simi-
lar with a heat transition coefficient of 5 W/m³ K), and a layer of tiles or slate. This will give a thick-
ness of approximately 14mm, and the extension from the face of the glass must be at least 320mm
(or 321mm from fireplace surround) if the floor protector is flush with the surrounding heat sensitive
material. The floor protector must be at least 875mm wide. It is desirable to carry the floor protec-
tor 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:

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.
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 tube, the two side bricks and the two rear bricks are in
their correct position.
For Australian models only: Check that the fan assembly has not been dislodged from the two
upstanding tabs inside the rubber grommets and that the wiring loom is neatly tucked in the left
hand steel channel.
INSTALLING THE FASCIA
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.
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX AND FLUE
Fit switch to fascia if not already done in factory. This involves removing a rectangular ‘knock-out’ at
the upper left hand fascia panel. Clean hole with file and push switch in from outside, the ‘high’ II
marking should be above the ‘off’ O marking.

Now you can gently slide the fascia assembly inwards. Secure with 4 screws to the cabinet. The
screws are positioned either side of the door opening.
Fit the air slide extension bracket to the air slide using two 8 gauge x 10mm black screws.
Push the air slide knob over the air slide extension bracket. Arrow must point to the left.
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 including the operation of the fan where applicable.
Hand over the owner’s manual to the owner of the fire.
Bring the fascia in its upright position close to the fire and connect the earth lead to the tag on
the lower end of the left hand fascia bracket. This is a quick connect push-on connection.
Connect the three terminals at the end of the loom to the switch. See sketch for position of wires.
Ensure the wiring loom rests in the notch behind the left hand fascia.
Position the power cord with the three pin plug at the end through the slot at the bottom end of the
left hand fascia panel. Make sure the small rubber grommet is inserted into the slot to protect the
mains lead against possible damage..
