INSTALLATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR OSBURN WOOD FIRE 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 2918:2001 standard. THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM MUST
THEREFORE BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 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 4012/4013 (1999) WHERE
REQUIRED BY THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE
IDENTIFIABLE BY A COMPLIANCE PLATE WITH THE MARKING “TESTED TO AS/NZS
4012/4013 (1999)”.
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 4012/4013 (1999).

DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
CRACKEDAND BROKENCOMPONENTS,e.g.GLASSPANELS OR CERAMICTILES,MAY RENDERTHIS
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.
ASOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN
REQUIRED.
IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED,A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.TO REDUCE 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.

POSITIONING THE STOVE
Itisvery important to position the wood stove as closeaspossibletothechimney, 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
throughthedisplacementofhot air accelerated upwards and its replacementwithcoolerair.
If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation ofa
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.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface. Install a floor protection
with thermal conductivity of 0.8 m2K/W per 4 mm thick.
The floor protector should project beyond the stove as follows:
Minimum Distance From the Door Opening
FRONT
350 mm
SIDES
200 mm
REAR
N/A

7
CLEARANCES TO HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIALS
It is of outmost importance that the clearances to heat-sensitive materials be
carefully maintained upon installation of the stove you have selected. Refer to the
table below:
CLEARANCES TO HEAT
SENSITIVE MATERIALS
Model A B C
OSBURN 900 205 mm 400 mm 325 mm
Floor to ceiling height must be at least 1,500 mm in all cases.
The clearance between the flue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and
for vertical flue pipe.
WHERE THE FLUE PASSES THROUGH WALLS,CEILINGS OR ROOFS,VENTILATED DOUBLE FLUE-
PIPE CASINGS MUST BE USED AROUND THE FLUE PIPE,ALONGWITHCEILING PLATES AS SPECIFIED
IN AS/NZS 2918:2001.

8
REDUCED CLEARANCES USING SHIELDING
You may decrease the minimum clearances to heat-sensitive materials by installing heat
radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation
shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-
tolerant material.
An air gap must separate the heat shield from anyheat-sensitive surface. Furthermore, the
heat shield shall extend in all directions beyond the boundaries of the appliance surface by
a distance of not lessthan 450 mm. Exceptions may apply. Refer to AS/NZS 2918:2001.
Following the installation of such heat radiation shields, the minimum clearances to heat-
sensitive materials may be reduced by applying the clearances factor in the table below:
CONSTRUCTIONS AND CLEARANCES FACTORS FOR APPLIANCES HEAT SHIELDS
WHICH ARE WITHIN 45OOF THE VERTICAL
HEAT SHIELD CONSTRUCTIONS Minimum air gap dimensions

Clearances
factor
Single layer of continuous material 12 0.40
Single layer of continuous material 25 0.30
Two spaced layers of continuous material 12+12 0.20
NOTES:
1- Masonry may be used as a heat shield material.
2- Where heat shields are used to reduce appliance clearance dimensions,
additional flue shielding may also be required. Refer to AS/NZS 2918:2001.
3- Non standard installations – Refer to AS/NZS 2918:2001 for guidance.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep these instructions for future reference.
WARNING:
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE
TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS 4012/4013 (1999).
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS
OPERATING.
DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED)BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.
THIS STOVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE DOOR OPEN.THE DOOR MAY BE OPEN ONLY
DURING LIGHTING PROCEDURES.NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS
OPEN.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION,KEEP CHILDREN,CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR STOVE.
CAUTION
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
Your stove was designed to burn wood only; no other material should be burnt. Waste and
other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE DRY WOOD ONLY IN YOUR WOOD
STOVE. The wood must have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the moisture content
below 20%. It is very important to keep in mindthat even ifthe wood has been cutone, two
or even more years, it is not necessarily dry.
