INTRODUCTION
In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and
New Zealand require any woodfire installation to comply with the relevant Safety
Standard. In Australia, that Standard is AS 2918-1990, while in New Zealand the
Standard is NZS 7421-1990. They may also have local requirements in addition to
those in the Standard so you should approach your local Building Authority before
commencing installation to establish whether you will require a Permit and whether you
will need to meet extra requirements. All MASPORT Woodfires have been tested to
ensure that they will meet the appropriate safety Standard requirements if the
instructions in this book are followed.
All the woodfires covered by this manual have been tested to prove compliance with
the emission Standards AS 4013/ NZS 7403: 1992.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR
MASPORT WOODFIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A SUITABLY
QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY COMPONENTS APPROVED BY MASPORT ARE
USED FOR THE INSTALLATION, as substitutes may adversely affect performance
and might nullify compliance with the requirements of your Standard.
This recommendation is endorsed by Australian Standard 3869 - 1991, which states:-
WARNING:
THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SHALL BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AS 2918 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE LOCAL BUILDING REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
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.
AS 3869 - 1991 also states, in relation to woodfires using water heating devices:-
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT TO AN UNVENTED HOT WATER SYSTEM.
INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT AUSTRALIAN
STANDARD FOR INSTALLATION OF HOUSEHOLD TYPE HOT WATER
SUPPLY SYSTEMS AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
RELEVANT REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
Obviously installers in New Zealand should follow this advice, looking to the
appropriate New Zealand sources for guidance.
Some areas in New Zealand have been designated as Clean Air Zones. The MASPORT
Provincial 5, LE 3000/S, LE 3000/W, LE 5000/S and LE 5000/W models are suitable
for use in those areas, provided that:-
No modifications are made to the appliance.
Any water heating device has been factory fitted or is a Masport
accessory retro-fined strictly in accordance with the instructions on page 11.
No coal is used as a fuel.

POSITIONING YOUR FREE-STANDING WOODFIRE (Contd.)

•
Detailed dimensional requirements for the flue installation are included with every
MASPORT approved flue system.
If a water heating accessory is to be fitted, a further positioning restraint is the need to
be close to your hot water storage cylinder (See page 11).
Flue installations other than strictly vertical ones are possible. See AS 2918 or NZS
7421 for information on flues passing through walls and eaves.

HoRTH REQUIREMENTS — FREE-STANDING WOODFIRES
Unless your woodfire will be standing on a fireproof floor which extends at least
150mm from the sides and rear of the cabinet, and 400mm forward from the door glass,
it will be necessary to provide floor protection in the form of an insulating hearth. See
page 9 for construction details.
Having now decided exactly where your woodfire will be installed, you will be able to
estimate the minimum size of hearth you will need. Where the minimum requirements
bring the edge of the hearth nearly to a wall, it is better to extend the hearth to meet the
wall. In fact it is prudent to increase all dimensions by moving up to the next available
standard hearth size so that precise positioning of the woodfire on the hearth will not be
needed.

CORNER HEARTHS

•
While the information in the previous section details the MINIMUM size of hearth
necessary to comply with the Safety Standards, it will frequently be desirable to use a
somewhat larger area of hearth for xsthetic considerations. A particular example is
when the woodfire is installed diagonally in a corner. A neater appearance will result if
the hearth is carried right into the corner and is shaped as shown below. The chart
facilitates calculation of the MINIMUM dimensions required for hearths of this shape.
The minimum allowable values for dimension 'E' are given in the tables on pages 5 and
6. If 'E' is greater than the minimum value, naturally the overall hearth size
requirements increase accordingly.

HiRTH CONSTRUCTION
The hearth will need some insulating qualities. In Australia the minimum requirement
is a 5mm fibre cement sheet placed directly on the floor. If there is no intention of
lifting and moving the hearth, it is usually fastened directly to the floor. In New
Zealand, the insulation can be provided by two layers of MICORE 160 (each 16mm
thick), or one layer of WOODTEX (35mm thick), and both these materials give
adequate protection for solid timber or particle board flooring. In both countries, a
durable top surface will be needed to resist damage from dropped embers. Obvious
choices are slate, bricks and ceramic tiles. Gaps between the pieces of the top surfacing
material should be grouted to prevent embers from penetrating. A trim moulding can be
fitted around the edges to provide a neat finish.
Constructions which are NOT suitable as insulating hearths are bricks and concrete
when they are in contact with the flooring material.

Trim Moulding
INSTALLING THE FLUE
You MUST use a flue system which is approved by MASPORT and which complies
with AS 2918 - 1990 or NZS - 7421 1990 as appropriate. The flues and flue heat shields
recommended in Australia are detailed in the table on page 5. In Australia, flue heat
shielding must be fitted unless all heat sensitive material is at least 450mm away from
the flue surface.
In New Zealand we recommend the use of genuine Masport flue kits. The flue MUST
be installed in accordance with the detailed instructions accompanying it. A polished
180° stainless steel heat deflector, 1200mm long, (Part No 551337) must be fitted at the
back of the flue, directly above the stove, unless all heat sensitive material nearby is
separated from the woodfire by at least the distances shown in the right hand half of the
table on page 6.
In New Zealand, all Masport LE models must have a cap fitted at the top of the flue
heat deflector to control ceiling temperatures. This cap is an integral part of Masport
Flue Heat Deflector Part No 551337. If an earlier Masport Flue Heat Deflector (Part No
584665) is used, it must be fitted with a separate cap, Part No 584842.
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 hearth, and the flue pipes
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,
NZS 7421 requires that the woodfire and hearth be secured to prevent shifting in the
event of an earthquake. With the style of insulating hearth suggested, this is best done
by fastening the woodfire right through the hearth to the floor, using at least two 10
gauge screws or the equivalent sizes of coach bolts or spring toggle fasteners. Use the
two holes in the outwardly facing flange of the rear pedestal panel unless a fan is to be
fitted. In that case, use the two holes inside the pedestal at the rear.

MAINTENANCE
ASH REMOVAL.
This should be necessary only very occasionally. Simply shovel out any excess, alp11
leaving a bed of sand or ash to the tops of the ribs.
CLEANING THE GLASS.
A good hot fire will burn away any deposits left from a long slow burn. If desired, a
proprietary 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 door latch on the Provincial can be adjusted to overcome settling of the door
gasket by transferring a washer to the other side of the door catch. The LE models are
adjusted by rotating the peg which is engaged by the door catch. 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 on the LE models can also be adjusted inwards if necessary. Be careful to move
the hinge only a millimetre or so, and move it the same amount top and bottom to
maintain an even pressure on the door gasket.
CLEANING INSIDE.
If you wish to clean the flue or clear away creosote debris, the internal components
can be removed easily. (See installation instructions). We recommend that you check
the condition of all internal components at least once a season to make sure they are
still serviceable.
FIREBOX TOP BAFFLE.
The special top baffle material in the LE models operates at very high temperature to
ensure clean burning. Take care not to knock and damage it. Should it need replacing, a
new one can be slipped into place easily over the top of the secondary air tube without
removing any firebox parts. Ensure that it is sitting on top of the supporting shelf at
each end and that it pushed right to the back until the front corners drop behind the
small retainer ribs on the shelves.
FAN MAINTENANCE.
The fan bearings should need no attention, but sometimes a fan impeller will collect
dust and lint. In this event (perhaps once a year in adverse conditions), the fan should
be removed for cleaning. First unplug the fan from the power point. Gently ease off the
speed control knob on three speed fan versions, taking care to pull it off squarely. Then
remove the four screws which hold the pedestal back plate in position. Move the fan
slightly away from the switch end and withdraw it completely. No electrical parts will
be exposed and no connections need to be uncoupled. Clean the impeller blades
carefully by blowing or vacuuming, and reassemble in the reverse order.
CLEANING THE FLUE.
This should 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.
