2. PRE-INSTALLATION
Congratulations on your purchase of the GyroFocus. This appliance should be installed and checked by a qualified
professional. Ensure you have read the operation guidelines thoroughly prior to first use. For any questions or concerns
please contact Oblica on 03 9416 0400.
The installation process is outlined below:
– Determine position of firebox and flue carefully observing the clearances described within this section
– Install the suspension bracket
– Install the external flue
– Install the internal flue and engage the firebox
– Ensure the floor has adequate protection
CAUTION:
Using components or parts other than those provided by the manufacturer or modifying the specification of components
may result in inferior or unsafe operation. If such action is necessary, consult the manufacturer in the first instance.
WARNING:
• The appliance and flue-system must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 2918 and the
relevant building code or codes.
• Any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in writing by the testing authority
will be in breach of the approval granted for compliance with AS/NZS 4013.
• Once the flue has been installed and approved by a professional installer, the flue must not be
modified in any way.

Clearances may be reduced with the application of
heat shielding to walls in accordance to the Australian
Building Code.
For information on heat shielding please contact our
office on 03 9416 0400 or email [email protected].
IMPORTANT:
Frames must also be considered. Timber window
frames must be treated as combustible surfaces
(see 2.3). Aluminium frames can be treated as
non-combustible surfaces (see 2.2).

3.1 Installing the suspension bracket
• The bracket must be structurally secured within the roof as shown in the diagram below.
• The largest cylinder must project down from the ceiling by at least 150mm (BCA requirement) unless
the ceiling is made from a non-combustible material such as concrete.
• You must leave a 25mm clearance gap between the bracket and the ceiling. This gap will be covered by
the ceiling Flange.
• 12mm ventilation gap between the plasterboard and the ceiling flange
• 25mm minimum clearance from the triple skin flue to any combustible material within the roof space
• 40mm minimum overlap of the stainless steel 8” flue into the connector

3.2 Installing the external flue
1. Place the connection piece inside the suspension bracket. This will join the single skin flue below the
bracket and the triple skin flue above the bracket which have different diameters.
2. Ensure the triple skin flue is installed as per Australian standards (see diagrams below).
The top of the flue must be 400mm higher than the highest point of the roof. Alternatively, there must be a
minimum distance of 3 meters from any higher section of roof.

3.4 Protecting the floor
• Any combustible floor beneath a fireplace must have a floor protector that extends 300mm beyond the
diameter of the firebox in all directions.
• If installed directly on combustible material, the floor protector must be made of a 20mm thick sheet of
material with a thermal conductivity of 0.21W/m.K. Non-combustible finishes can be applied to the floor
protector (tiles, steel sheet, light concrete, etc).
• If the combustible floor is installed on concrete, you can replace the combustible material with non-
combustible material laid directly onto the concrete.

4. OPERATION
4.1 What you should burn
• Untreated, air dried hardwood
• Split logs with a humidity content of less than 20%
4.2 Do not burn
• Trash
• Painted plastic
• Coated or preservative treated wood
• Waste or black coal
• Inflammable liquids
• Fire gels
• Moist wood with a residual humidity content of more than 20% (this may cause soothing of the chimney).
WARNING:
• Do not use flammable liquids or aerosols to start or rekindle the fire.
• Do not use flammable liquids or aerosols in the vicinity of the fireplace when operating.
• Do not store fuel within prescribed installation clearance distances.
• The use of some types of preservative-treated woods as a fuel can be hazardous.
IMPORTANT:
• Misuse may lead to unhealthy and environmentally harmful emissions and will void any warranty or guarantee.
• The maximum load capacity for the GyroFocus is 20kg of wood.
• Burning only seasoned hardwood helps to protect the environment and lower emissions.
