INTRODUCTION
In the interest of your safety, building regulatory Authorities in Australia and New Zealand require
any woodfire installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001. They may also
have local requirements in addition to those in the Standard. Check with your local Building Au-
thority before commencing installation to find if you will require a Building Consent and
whether there are extra requirements. This woodfire has been tested to ensure that it will meet
the appropriate safety Standard requirements when these instructions are followed. As the safety
and emission performance can be affected by altering the appliance, no modifications are al-
lowed without written permission from the manufacturer.
The model I9000 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.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATIONS- FLOOR TO CEILING ENCLOSURE:
1. Inspect the house construction at the proposed installation position to verify that the flue cas-
ing (250mm diameter, plus 25mm clearance all around) can pass through the ceiling space
without requiring the removal of essential roof or ceiling support beams. The flue centerline will
be 305mm from the rear wall and it must be at least 610mm from any side wall. (See Fig. 2).
2. Drop a plumb line from the ceiling to the floor to verify the centerline and cut a hole at least
300mm square or round through the ceiling on this centerline. If preferred, there may be no
ceiling inside the fireplace enclosure. (See step 21).
3. Ensure that there are suitable noggins at either the ceiling or roof level (or both) to provide an-
chorage for the outer flue casing bracing angles.
4. Frame up the enclosure using normal 90x45mm dressed timber, verifying that it will be on the
flue centerline. (See Fig. 2). The overall depth should be (610 - t) mm, where ‘t’ is the cladding
thickness. The distance between the front uprights must be 755mm (use the supplied metal
support angle as a spacer). Fix the metal support angle between the two front uprights at a
height of 700mm above the base of the shielding (zero clearance) box.
5. For an ‘elevated’ installation (See Fig. 6), fix two extra noggins (90x45x955) across the front
opening of the enclosure, one at the bottom and the other at the desired ‘elevation’ height.
These extra nogs will carry the front cladding below the heater. Fix two 90x45 bearers running
from front to back behind the top extra noggins, positioned 210mm each side of the enclosure
centerline to provide support for the shielding box rails. The bearer tops must be flush with the
top of the top extra nog. Provide a suitable support at the rear ends of the bearers to carry the
weight of the appliance. The shielding box can sit directly on the bearers. No insulation is nec-
essary. The usual three noggins may be fixed at each side of the enclosure. At the front, the
lowest wooden nog must have its lower face at least 1470mm above the top of the bearers for
an elevated installation. Further wooden nogs can be fitted above this one.
6. Side cladding: This can be made from GIB board or other wall cladding materials. Remember
to fit two air vents, see fig. 4,5,6,7. You must leave the cladding off at least one side until the
flue system has been installed.
7. Fix the cladding to the front of the enclosure, including down each side of the opening. All
front cladding from the floor up must be of heat resistant material such as PROMATECT H,
ETERPAN LD or SUPALUX. The heat resistant cladding shall cover the whole width of the
enclosure up to 510mm from the centre of the appliance. The heat resistant cladding must
have a minimum height as follows: For installations with a mantel shelf it must go up to the
height of the mantle shelf (see fig. 4&5 for min. height of mantle shelf). For installations without
a mantle shelf it must go up 1470mm above the base of the shielding (zero clearance) box.

8. Wall surfaces directly above the heater may reach 85 degrees C, so materials such as
wallpaper and water based paint may be adversely affected. For durability of finishes
and surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturers for their specifications.
Glen Dimplex accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of surfaces of finishes. It is
usually convenient to carry the same material right up to the ceiling level. At the lower edge,
drill (4.5mm diameter) holes into the metal support angle through the holes in the top flange of
the shielding box and fasten with the self threading screws provided.
9. Mantel Pillars: You are allowed to have combustible mantel pillars. They mast be placed at
least 460mm from the centre of the appliance and must not protrude more than 100mm from
the wall where the fascia is butting against.
10. For heat sensitive floors, construct an insulating floor protector of the shape shown in the
Floor Plan (Fig.2) and projection sizes on page 11, (see below for concrete floors). The insu-
lating floor protector is constructed of one layer of 6mm thick PROMATECT H or SUPALUX,
topped with a layer of tiles or slate. The floor protector must be at least 875mm wide. It is de-
sirable to carry the floor protector all the way inside the enclosure to ensure that the bottom of
the shielding box does not rest below the top surface of the floor protector.
11. Note: For elevated installations (bottom of the shielding box rails at least 300mm above floor
level), the floor protector (min. size: 300mm from cladding x 875mm wide) may be installed
after the appliance is in position as it does not extend into the enclosure. However, its rear
edge must butt up against the face of the heat-proof front cladding below the appliance, and
the joint at that point must be sealed to prevent the possibility of ember penetration. In this
case an ash floor protector is sufficient. Construction requirements for an ash floor protector
are: one sheet of 6mm fibre cement board (e.g. Hardies TILE & SLATE UNDERLAY) covered
with ceramic tiles or slate.
12. Cement tiles or slate to the top of the floor protector. The part inside the enclosure will not be
visible and therefore does not need complete coverage. It is necessary to fix the finishing layer
only under the support rails in this area. The visible edges of the floor protector are best fin-
ished with wooden trim or tiles after the stove has been installed.
13. Penetrate the roofing material on the flue centerline. Working from the bottom, assemble sec-
tions of the flue pipe and the inner and outer casings and pass them up through the hole in
the roof. Remember the flue pipe sections must be fixed together at each joint with at least
three monel or stainless steel fasteners, and the crimped ends of the flue casings go to the
top. The joints of the flue pipes must be sealed with an appropriate fire proof sealant. When
the flue system is in its final position, the top of the outer casings must be above the ridge line
or roof as follows: If the flue centerline is within 3m from the ridge, the outer casing must end
at least 600mm above the ridge. If it is further than 3m from the ridge, the outer casing must
extend at least 1000mm above the point of roof penetration. In some cases where there are
trees or high buildings in the vicinity, it may be necessary to increase the height to avoid down-
draughts. You need to temporary support the flue system so that you can install the appliance.
14. Assemble the base, sides, back, top shield assembly and top panel of the shielding box. The
top shield rests on the top edges of the inner heat shields of the cabinet. Make sure the back
flange hooks over the shield on the rear panel (See Fig. 3 and 3A).
15. Attach the two standoff brackets to the sides of the shielding box panels (if not already fitted).
Use four pop rivets for each bracket.
16. Slide the assembly into place in the enclosure. After centralizing, fix the flange of the top
panel of the shielding box through the cladding into the metal angle support. Use 2/ 12g x
25mm screws.
17. The special adapter spigot ring with holes to ventilate the space between the flue and the
inner casing as well as the space between the inner casing and the outer casing has to be at-
tached with 4 screws 8g x 13mm to the top of the shielding box. Both flue casings (inner &
outer) will engage with this special adapter spigot ring.
18. In New Zealand and some parts of Australia, Standards require that the appliance be seismic
restraint to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. To provide seismic restraint, fix
the shielding box to the floor (bearers in an elevated installation) with two 6mm masonry
anchors (DYNABOLTS) or two 12 gauge screws . Use the two holes in the bottom of the
shielding box spaced 687mm apart.

19. Now go to the firebox cabinet and remove the two retaining screws and slide out the top sec-
tion of the firebox cabinet.
20. Attach the two centralizing brackets to the side panels of the firebox cabinet, flanges facing
outwards. Use two screws provided for each bracket.
21. Slide the firebox cabinet into the shielding box. Centralize it and secure the restraint brackets
to the shielding box flanges.
22. Complete the seismic restraint of the fire by screwing the base plate of the fire to the bottom
of the shielding box with two M6 screws. Use the two holes in the base spaced 464mm apart.
23. Lower the assembled flue pipe (sections must be sealed and held together with three S/S fas-
teners) and seal and fix it to the flue socket of the appliance. Use stainless steel screws.
Lower the inner casing and engage it with the special adaptor spigot ring, repeat this step with
the outer casing. See Fig. 8 & 9 for flue pipe and casing lengths.
24. Fit the two casing bracing angles at either ceiling or roof level as appropriate. Fix a suitable
flashing where the outer casing penetrates the roof.
25. IMPORTANT: TO AVOID THE RISK OF A FIRE, COVER THE ENTIRE OPEN SPACE SUR-
ROUNDING THE OUTER CASING AT CEILING LEVEL WITH WIRE NETTING WHICH HAS
A MESH SMALL ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE ENTRY OF BIRDS OR VERMIN INTO THE
ENCLOSURE.
26. At the top of the flue pipe, fix the flashing cone and fit the cowl in the usual way. There must be
a 25mm gap between the top of the two casings and the flashing cone, so that the spaces be-
tween the flue pipe, inner and outer casings are properly vented.
27. Re-fit the removable top section of the firebox cabinet and secure it with two screws.
28. Fix the cladding to the enclosure side(s).
29. Fit the fascia. See instructions supplied with the fascia.
30. Ensure that the ceiling baffle, secondary air tube and the two side bricks and the two rear
bricks are in the correct position.
31. Check and ensure that the fan rests on four rubber grommets and that the front two grommets
are resting over the two upturned lugs of the cabinet base plate. (Australian models only).
32. Finish the floor protector by installing an edge trim if desired.

NOTES FOR VARIATIONS
CONCRETE FLOORS
The above instructions assume that the appliance is being installed on a heat sensitive floor such as
timber or particle board. Where the floor is not heat sensitive (e.g. concrete), the insulating floor pro-
tector may be omitted. However, if heat sensitive floor coverings (e.g.carpet) are fitted it will be nec-
essary to keep them at a safe distance. The most practical way to do this is to fix tiles to the floor
where the floor protector normally would be. This will make the top of the floor protector approxi-
mately flush with the floor covering, so a larger floor protector will be needed. It must extend the
min. of 440mm from the face of the front cladding, but the 875mm width will be sufficient (see Fig. 5).
Remember to raise the shielding box by the same amount as the thickness of the tiles on the con-
crete floor.
BRICK FACED INTERNAL ENCLOSURES
The flue system installation and clearance requirements are as detailed above. Brick wall construc-
tion will normally require a cast concrete base slab, so this slab could be extended to provide the
necessary floor protection.
CAUTION. If your local Building Requirements permit laying the concrete slab on top of a wooden
floor, it should be made of lightweight concrete and even then foundation support may be required. In
any case, the slab should be poured on top of one layer of 16mm thick Micore 160 board (covered
with plastic sheet to keep it dry) to prevent heat damage to the wooden floor.
The top surface can be finished with bricks or tiles etc. In all cases the floor protector dimensions
must be as previously shown.
EXTERNAL INSTALLATIONS
In the case where the enclosure is to be erected outside the house, the shielding and flue system
installation details will still apply. It is important to remember that the aperture in the wall of the house
will need to be sufficient high to permit the installation of heat resistant paneling around the appliance
to at least 1470mm above the bottom of the shielding box rails. Suitable foundations will be required
to support the weight of the enclosure and the appliance and weatherproofing of the entire assembly
will be necessary.
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 441mm
(or 440mm 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 zero clearance box does
not rest below the top surface of the floor protector.
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:

INSTALLING THE FASCIA
Take the three pin plug and feed it through the large round hole at the bottom left side of the shield-
ing box, so that the plug and the cord are outside the shielding box. Do not disturb the protective
edging around the hole in the sheet metal panel.
Now 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 loom rests in the notch behind the left hand fascia.

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.
Preparing the fascia:
Unpack the fascia and fit the Zero Clearance Infill Panel to the bottom panel of the fascia. Use 4
screws provided. The Zero Clearance Infill Panel is supplied with the Zero Clearance Enclosure, not
with the fascia.
Preparing the appliance:
Remove the door: Open door and lift door until the top pivot disengages and then lower the door to
free the bottom of the hinge.
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..

14
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 exten-
sion 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.
Hand over the owner’s manual to the occupier of the home.
