ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Operation of your Osburn stove without the baffle may cause unsafe and
hazardous temperature conditions and will void the warranty.
NOTE: Before installing the firebrick, check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in
any way. If so, have the damaged ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least
annually and replace any broken or damaged ones with new ones. Inspection and cleaning of
the chimney is facilitated by the removable baffle.
Install the two thin bricks into either side at the front. The 64x229mm piece should be placed
at the bottom, placed so that the angled piece of the brick aligns with the bottom duct. Place
the 114x64mm above it and under the brick retainer.
FIGURE 1
To install the baffle, follow these instructions (To remove, follow the reverse of these
instructions):
1- Place the two bricks with the corners cut out of them under the right and left side
brick retainers and over the side bricks. They should fit so that the angled part
slopes down toward the back.
2- Place the two small 51 x 111 mm bricks up into the top front side spaces below
the stainless steel tube.
3- Place the baffle brick retainer up over the back duct and over the stainless steel
tube so that the angled rib is on the top. Move it to the middle. See Figure 1.
4- Angle each of the two rear baffle bricks up to the top right or left and place them so
that they sit crosswise over the back duct, over the side bricks, and over the baffle
brick retainer. Push them toward the back.

5
5- Similarly place two bricks crosswise so that they rest over the left hand side bricks
and the steel baffle brick retainer. Push them toward the back so there are no gaps
between the bricks.
6- Now lift the 202x101 x32mm brick on top of the already laid baffle bricks. The long
edge of this brick is parallel with the door. Move it as far forward as possible.
7- Place the two remaining baffle bricks in place. Push them towards the back.
8- Move the 202x101 x32 brick which rests on top of baffle bricks towards the centre
and front of the firebox.
9- Again push all the baffle bricks towards the back and centre. Do not allow the bricks
to sit on the angled rib of the baffle brick retainer.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for your stove to operate properly, the door should be adjusted periodically to
provide an air tight fit. To adjust:
Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers ("Vise grip")
Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure
Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer

INSTALLATION
IT IS RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR OSBURN WOODFIRE BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER.
IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: The instructions pertaining to the installation of your wood stove comply with the
AS/NZS 2918 standard. THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM MUST THEREFORE BE
INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918 AND THE APPROPRIATE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
WARNING: APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE
REGULATORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE IDENTIFIABLE BY A
COMPLIANCE PLATE WITH THE MARKING “TESTED TO AS/NZS 4013”.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN
WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE
APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.
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.
•CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, e.g. GLASS PANELS OR CERAMIC TILES, MAY RENDER THIS
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
•USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
•A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN
REQUIRED.
•IFTHIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TOREDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
•CONSULT YOUR CITY, BOROUGH OR SHIRE COUNCIL ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
•KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
•NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE STOVE.
•INTHE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE THE FIRE
OF OXYGEN. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
•DONOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

POSITIONING THE STOVE
It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an
area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The
stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most
spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel
when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection, that is through
the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If
necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a
blower.
The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an
excessive accumulation of heat may occur.
A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may
block the way in case of fire or fall to respect required clearances.
SEISMIC RESTRAINT OF THE WOODFIRE AND FLOOR PROTECTOR:
The standards require that the woodfire and floorprotector be secured to prevent shifting
in the event of an earthquake. Use two screws minimum 12 gauge, or the equivalent size
(6mm) of coach bolts or toggle fasteners. Anchor the appliance to the floor through the
two holes in the base (foot) of the appliance.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Install a floor protection
using a 6mm thick fiber cement sheet with thermal conductivity of 0.41 W/m degree K
underneath the heater.
The floor protector should project beyond the stove as follows:
