installation.
*You may need to get council approval
priortoinstallation.
*Youshouldalsocheckwithyourinsurer
foranyrequirementstheymayhave.
HearthRequirements
If your wood heater is to be installed on
carpet, timber or any other combustible
material, you must place a hearth (also
known as a floor protector) underneath the
heater.Pleaseobservethefollowing:
*Thehearthmustconsistofatleast12mm
ofnoncombustiblematerial
*Itisnotrecommendedthatyoumakeyour
ownhearth
*Thehearthandheaterassemblymustbe
placedonafirmandlevelsurface.
FlueInstallation
The correct flue system is critical to the
performance of your wood heater. It must
eitherbetestedwiththeheaterorbeadefault
fluekit.
WerecommendyouuseaMaxiheatDefault
FlueKit.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE
SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE
M A N U F A C T U R E R  S H O U L D  B E
CONSULTEDINTHEFIRSTINSTANCE.
FlueHeightRequirements
Your flue must extend the required height
aboveyourrooftopromotesufficientdraught.
Iftheflueisnothighenough,theheaterwill
not draw properly causing smoke to spill
backintotheroom.
Theminimumheightoftheactivefluemustbe
4.6m in length measured from the hearth
plate to the flue termination point. The flue
mustextendatleast1moutoftheroof.The
fluemustclearanyridgeorobstructionwithin
a3mradiusbyaminimumof1m.
Forverysteeproofs(45°orsteeper)itisoften
impractical to get above the highest point.
The use of an anti-downdraft cowl is
advisable.
Onflatroofs,thefluemustextendaminimum
of1.5m.
There are other variables that can affect
draught(egtreesortallbuildingsnearby).If
youhavethecorrectflueheightandstillhave
problems,consultyourdealer.

WOODSELECTION
Fewthingsaffecttheperformanceofyourheaterasmuchasthefuelyouburn.Takenoteofthe
following:
WhatNotToBurn
*Softwood(exceptkindling)
*Wetorunseasonedwood
*Treatedorpaintedtimber
*Saltwaterwood
*Coalorcharcoal
*Garbage,plasticetc
*Any solvents, kerosene, petrol or any
flammableliquid.
WhatToBurn
Quitesimply,dryseasonedhardwood.
Fromwhenwoodisfirstcutdown,ittakesup
to12monthsofdrystorageforthewoodto
seasonproperly.The seasoning process is
underwaywhencracksbegintoappearatthe
endsofcuttimber.
Useofmoistorunseasonedwoodwillresult
inexcessivesmoke,longerstartuptimes,a
lazyflamethatrequiresmoreairtostayalight,
creosotebuildupintheflueandonthedoor
glass, and a much less powerful fire. The
reasonissimple.Heatthatwouldnormallybe
goingintotheroomiswasted boilingwater
that is trapped inside the wood. This poor
performancecostsyoumoneyinwastedfuel
andincreasedmaintenance.
Itisdifficulttodetermineifwoodisdryjustby
lookingatit.Ifyoucanhearthewoodsizzle
andhiss,orcanseemoisturebubblingfrom
thewoodsurface,thenyourwoodistoowet.
Inpractice,thebestthingyoucandoistobe
sure of the source. Buy your wood from
reputable wood merchants. Make sure you
storethewoodcorrectly.
WoodStorage
It is important that wood be stored under
cover.Evenwoodthatisyearsoldwillabsorb
largequantitiesofmoistureifexposedtothe
elements.
Itisadvisablethatwoodisstackedtoallow
someairflowinandaroundthelogs.Thiswill
helpkeepthewooddry.
WoodSplitting
Itisbest to have onhanda good range of
woodsizestohelpcontrolthefire.Theruleof
thumbis:thehotterthefire,thebiggerthelog
youcanputin.
*Youneedverysmallpiecesofkindlingto
getthefirestartedefficiently.
*Smallpiecesuptoabout50mmthickare
go od  whe n t he f ir e is  st ill  be ing
established,orwhenyouwanttorevivea
firethathasburntlow.
*Larger logs are excellent for long burns
oncethefireiswellestablished.

USINGYOURHEATER
Beforeusingyourwoodheater,studythisentiresectioncarefully.Itwillassistyouinachieving
maximumefficiencyandenjoyment.
CuringthePaint
Various parts of your heater have been
coatedwithhighqualitypaintstoprotectthem
andtogivethemanattractivefinish.Youwill
needtobreak-inyourheatertohardenor
curethesecoatings.
While curing, be careful not to touch the
paintedsurfacesasthepaintwillbequitesoft.
The basic rule is: cure slowly, over about
three burns, without a hot fire. During the
curingprocessitisnormalforsomesmoke
andsmelltobegivenofffromthesurfaceof
theheater.Eachtime,somewindowsshould
be opened to allow the paint odours to
escape.Usingafanalsohelpsdispersethe
odours.Forthisreasonitisbestdoneduring
theday.
1.The firstfireshould bekindling onlyand
should last for about 20 minutes. Leave
thedoorslightlyajartostopthedoorrope
fromsticking.
2.Oncetheheaterhascooleddown,repeat
theprocess.
3.Thethirdfireshouldbeanormalfireofat
least45minutes.
Bythistime,yourheatershouldbecured.In
colderconditions,oriftheheaterusesafan,it
maytakeslightlylonger.Thehouseshouldbe
ventilateduntilallodoursaregone.
OperatingTheAirControl
Youcancontrolwhetheryourheaterburnson
highorlowwiththeaircontrolleverfoundon
either the front or the side of the heater,
dependingonthemodel.Thehighandlow
positionsareclearlymarkedonallmodels.
For low burns - Use this setting for low
burning,orforextendedburntimes.
Formediumburns-Thisistheoptimalsetting
fornormaluse.
Forhighburns-Usethissettingforstarting
the fire and for at least 30 minutes after
loadingandreloading.
LightingTheFire
Woodburnsmostefficientlywhenplacedina
veryhotfire.Theseproceduresaredesigned
tobringyourfireboxtotherighttemperature
asquicklyaspossible.
Puttheaircontrolonhigh.
Placealargeamountofkindlinginacriss-
cross pattern over a firelighter. Make sure
plentyofaircangetintothestackandaround
eachpieceofkindling.
Addafewsmallpiecesofwoodontop.The
fireboxshouldbeabouthalffulloffuel.
Ignitethefirelighter.
Continuetoaddsmallpiecesofwooduntila
bedofhotglowingcoalsisestablished.
Placetwo orthreethoroughlydrysplit logs
(about 80-100mm diameter) on the well
establishedfire.Logswillburnbetterifthey
areplacedwiththeirendsneartheglass,ie
fronttoback.
Leave the air control on high for about 30
minutes.Afterthistime,thefireboxshouldbe
hotenoughfornormaloperation,soyoucan
turndowntomediumorlow.
Adding fresh wood cools the fire down, so
whenyouneedtoreplenishthefuel,turnthe
air control to high for about 30 minutes to
bring the firebox temperatures back up to
normal
Always leave the air control on high for at
least30minutesafterreloading.
AFewHints
Woodshouldbestackedfronttoback-with
the ends facing the door - and with space
betweenthemforairtoflowaround.
Thedoorshould remain closed atalltimes
except when first establishing the fire and
whenloading.
There are many factors that can affect the
wayyourheaterburns,includingflueheight,
wood type, shape, amount, the way it is
stacked, wind conditions and outside air
temperaturestonameafew.Youwillfindthat
before long you will get to know how your
heaterworksbestforyou.

USINGYOURHEATER
OvernightBurns
Largeunsplitlogsarethebestfueltouse.
Make sure you have a good strong bed of
glowing coals and the heater is hot before
loadingthelogs.
Placealoadofwoodonthestrongbasefire
andcoals,shutthedoorandleaveonhighfor
about30minutesoruntilthelogsarecharred
allover.
Turndowntolow.
Restarting After an Overnight
Burn
Adjustaircontroltohigh.
Rakethehotcoals.
Place some kindling and small logs on the
coals.
Oncethefireisestablished,startputtingon
largerlogs.
RemovingAshes
When the ashes are level with the firebox
opening,it stimeforacleanout.Thisshould’
onlybedonewhenthefireboxhascompletely
cooled.Removinghotashesishazardous.
Push chunks of charred wood to one side.
Thesewillburninthenextfire,soitwouldbea
shametowastethem.Usingametalscoop,
remove excess ash and place in a metal
container.
Youshouldleaveasmallamountofashinthe
fireboxtoprovideaninsulatingbaseforthe
nextfire.Rakethemoversotheyformaflat
bed.
Whendisposingoftheashes,keepthemina
metal or other non-combustible container
with a tight fitting lid. Move them outdoors
immediatelytoanareaclearofcombustible
materials. Do not place them in plastic
receptacles.

As such, if the fan is on and you open the
heaterdoor,thefanwillautomaticallyturnoff
and automatically restart approximately 20
minutesafterthedoorisclosed.
Also, if the fan is on and the air control is
turnedtolow,thefanwillnotoperate.If,or
when,theaircontrolisopenedfromthelow
setting, the fan will automatically restart
approximately20minutesaftertheaircontrol
ismovedfromthelowposition.
There is an LED indicator next to the fan
switch.Itwilleitherflashorbeon(i.e.solid
and non-flashing) depending on the
operationofthefan.
The LED will be on whenever the fan is in
operation.
The LED will flash when the fan is not in
operation,suchaswhenthedoorisopen,or

20minutedelayperiod.

CAREANDMAINTENANCE
Your heater has been designed as a heavy duty appliance capable of withstanding normal
operatingconditions.
Care
Thefireboxlinerswherefittedmustbetreated
withcare.Avoidthrowinglogsintothefirebox
asthismayfracturetheliners.
Cleaning
Paintedsurfaces:tocleanpaintedsurfaces,
wipeoverwithasoft,dampcloth.Donotuse
harshsolventsandcleaningagentsasthese
candamagethecoating.Buffdrywithasoft,
drycloth.
If your heater is installed in a coastal
environment, where salt air will come in
contactwiththeheater,thiscleaningprocess
shouldbeperformedweeklytoavoidthesalt
causing deterioration of the paint and
subsequentlyrust.
Door glass: sometimes black deposits will
buildupontheinsideofthedoorglass.To
removethisbuildup,rubgentlywithaplastic
scourer pad moistened with water and
detergent.Thenusethedampanddrycloths
asbefore.Hotglasscleanerisalsoavailable
fromyourheaterretailer.
RoutineMaintenanceSchedule
Atbeginningoftheseasonandatleastevery
8weeksduringtheseason
*Inspectandcleanthefluesystem.Todo
this,removethebaffleplateandfluecowl,
andcleanoutwithafluebrush.
*Checkthepaintedsurfaces.Ifthereisany
wear, for instance from cleaning or
abrasion,touchuppaintisavailablefrom
yourdealer.
Atendofseason
*Inspectthedoorglassforanycracksand
replaceifnecessary.
*Inspectdoorropeandsealsandreplaceif
necessary.
*Inspect firebox for wear or excessive
corrosion.
*Inspectfirebrickswherefittedandreplace
ifbroken.
*Checkthattheairslidemovessmoothly.If
it is sticky, lubricate it with high
temperature grease available from your
localhardwarestore.
CreosoteBuildUp
When the heater is continually burnt with
lowerthannormalfiretemperatures,egdue
tounseasonedwood,higherthanacceptable
amounts of smoke are produced which
condenseontheinsideoftheflue.Thisbuilds
upasablack,tar-likedepositcalledcreosote.
A thin layer of creosote inside the flue is
normalandwillnotcauseaproblem.Once
there is a layer more than 3mm thick,
problemscanoccur.
1.Ifthelayeristhickenough,itrestrictsthe
flueandcancauseinsufficientdrawand
evensmokespillagebackintothehouse.
2. More seriously, creosote is combustible,
andcanignite.Afluefireiseasytodetect,
involving a roaring sound, a vibration of
the flue, and sometimes flames and
sparksshootoutofthetopoftheflue.
Toavoidcreosotebuildupandthefiresthat
mayresult,burnseasonedwoodwiththeair
controlsettomediumorhighformostofthe
time.
Toremove creosotewhen itdoesbuild up,
removethebaffleplateandfluecowl,anduse
a flue brush to clean the flue system. To
removethebaffleplate,slidetheplateupon
onesideandthendownaroundthebrackets
ontheother.
Incaseofafluefire,donotpanic.Yourflue
system has been constructed to withstand
hightemperatures.Immediatelyclosetheair
controldowntoitslowestsetting.Donotopen
thedoor.Oncethefirehasextinguished,you
shouldhaveyourfluesysteminspectedbya
qualifiedserviceperson.

CARINGFORTHEENVIRONMENT
Caringforourplanetmeansreducingpollutionandmanagingourresourcesintelligently.Every
resourceweusetodayweareborrowingfromourfuturegenerations.
Thekeytosuccessfullymeetingourfutureenergyrequirementsliesinourabilitytomanage
existingresourceswisely.Unlikefossilfuelssuchasoil,coalandgas,woodcanbemanagedona
sustainablebasis.
Thisiswhywoodisoneofthewisest,mostcosteffectiveandenvironmentallyefficientformsof
homeheatingavailabletoday.
Youcanmakeafurtherpositivecontributiontotheenvironmentbyfollowingtheseimportant
steps:-
OperatingYourHeater
*Alwaysburngood,dryhardwood.Thiswill
yieldthegreatestamountofheatforthe
leastamountoffuel.
*Neverburngreenorunseasonedwood,or
woodthatiswet.Thiswillwasteenergy,
cause excessive smoke and reduce the
performanceofyourwoodheater.
*Donotallowyourwoodtosmoulder.Your
fire should always burn brightly and
cleanly.Checktheflueoccasionallytosee
ifthereisanyexcessivesmoke.
OtherThingsYouCanDo
*En sur e yo ur h ome  is a deq uat el y
insulated. This will reduce your energy
requirements,andlessenyourfuelbills,or
the need to gather fuel. This in turn
reducespollution.
*Donotoverheatyourhome!Ifyoufeelhot
evenwhenwearinglightclothing,thenyou
arewastingenergy.
*Install ceiling fans in the main rooms.
Theseareanexcellentinvestmentinyear
round comfort. Because hot air rises,
ceilingfanspushthishotairbackcloserto
groundleveltokeepyouwarmer.
Landcare
Aportionofthesaleofyourheaterisdonated
directlytoLandcarebytheAustralianHome
HeatingAssociation.
Landcare is one of the most proactive
community based environmental groups in
Australia today. Almost 5000 Landcare
groupshavesprouted across Australia and
like the millions of trees Landcare has
planted, they're still growing. One of three
farmersisamemberofLandcare.
These groups get involved in activities like
tree planting and revegetation, weed
removal,fencing,feralanimalcontrol,water
qualitymonitoring,naturesurveys,riverbank
re pai r,  and  sus ta ina ble  ag ric ult ur al
techniques.
Landcaregroupsareusuallyformedbecause
thereisaproblem.Localsnoticechangesin
their environment and decide to do
something about it. Landcare groups can
grow out of ne ig hb ouring farms, or
neighboursinthecitythatsharealocalpark.
Landcare groups are working on all
imaginableecosystemsinAustralia,fromdry
and dusty central Australia, to tropical
rainforestsofQueenslandandthemountains
inTasmania.
