NZS 2918:2018 4.9.1(a)
• Roof penetration and ashing method refer AS/NZS 2918:2018
The specications contain our recommendations for the ue diameter and height values (total height
from the wood heater evacuation). The inner surface area of the ue to which the inset wood heater is
connected must be equal to the wood heater evacuation surface area.
IMPORTANT
It is the installers duty to check that the ue is compliant with all relevant regulations and standards.
For the appliance to operate at it’s prime, the draw must be controlled and be between 12 and 20
pascals. In the case of negative pressure hood using mechanical extraction, the air-tightness of the
connecting ue, including its junction, must be such that smoke cannot be sucked into the extractor.
Step 1.Locate the appliance in position or by measuring at the ceiling, ensuring the ue pipe is in centre
position.
IMPORTANT: Ensure you check that the outer casing is unobstructed prior to proceeding with the
installation.
Step 2. Spike the centre with a nail. Transfer this position to the next surface above.
Step 3. Cut the ceiling penetration (as required), perform the same at the roof penetration.
Step 4. Frame the penetration with roong material or timber as required. Refer to minimum
requirement for roof penetration AS/NZS 2918:2018.
Step 5. Install the lower casing so that the lower end is ush with the underside of the ceiling material
and with the addition of the metal “L” brackets, ax to the outer casing at 90.
Step 6. Flash the outer casing to the roof material with the appropriate approved ashing.
Step 7. If using an outer/inner casing combination, now install the inner casing ensuring it extends a
minimum 1000mm above the high side of the roof line.
Step 8. Prepare the ceiling plate and place upside down over the ue spigot.
Step 9. Extend the ue pipe above the outer casing to suit the casing cover/cowl assembly.
Step 10. Install the cowl assembly (cover cone and cowl).
Step 11. Position and secure the ceiling plate with the screws and spacers.
Step 12. Clean the ue pipe to ensure all marks (nger or otherwise) are removed prior to proceeding.
Step 13. If ue oset is required, refer to AS/NZS 2918:2018 4.1

4. INSTALL GUIDE
These instructions are to be kept by the user, the installer under any circumstances MUST NOT dispose
of this manual. Following installation it is recommended the installer review any questions or queries
the new user might have, this should include lighting the re and explaining the various functioning
components of the appliance. Insist on the wood quality, on the need to light the re correctly and have
correct combustion in order to avoid all problems related to smoke emission in the room or blackened
glass.

OR
This appliance cannot operate in a de-pressurised room.
The presence of a hood, mechanically controlled ventilation or another heating appliance requiring air in
a well insulated dwelling may cause disturbances (incorrect combustion, smoke drawn back into the
room, etc.). It is important that sucient quantity of air needed to burn the wood can be drawn from
the room. When the room’s air intake is insucient( well insulated houses - eg. 6 star or more rated), a
specic air intake must be installed in conjunction with the appliance (outdoor air kit).
In the case of an unconnected appliance, the air intake specic to the wood heater must have a
minimum 300cm2surface area. It must be located either directly outside, or in a room ventilated to
the outside, and must arrive at the base of the wood heater. It must be protected by a vermin proof
grate. Possible heat losses due to the creation of a duct that is too long should also be taken into
consideration.
It is preferable to connect to outdoor air in order to optimise combustion control. Depending on specic
building-related conditions (air tightness, presence of mechanically controlled ventilation, presence of a
kitchen hood, etc).

15
5. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
This will make it possible to renew the air when the wood heater is in use and will guarantee that the
correct pressure is maintained inside the room. Ideally, this air intake should arrive under the wood
heater.
It is important to indicate that any future alteration of the usage conditions (installation of mechanical
ventilation, a hood or any other appliance requiring air, insulation works or weatherproong
improvements, etc.) may result in a malfunction such as the emission of smoke inside the room.

5. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION & USER GUIDE
IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS
Before any ignition ensure the damper and primary air is open in order to accelerate combustion and
evacuate the fumes. This adjustment should then be reduced as the re has stabilised in order to
maintain a longer re term and avoid any possible overheating. The door of the replace should be closed
in order to avoid any risk of back-ow.
Always slowly and gradually light the re; split wood and re starters are recommended. It is strictly
forbidden to use any volatile substances including; methylated spirits, gasoline, solvents or the likes as
these will result in a risk of explosion or thermal shocks by a sudden rise of temperature.
OPERATING THE WOOD BURNER WITH THE DOOR OPEN EXPOSES YOU TO MULTIPLE
HAZARDS FALLING EMBERS, SMOKE EMISSIONS IN THE ROOM, ETC.. ALWAYS OPERATE
THE APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE FIRST IGNITION - CURE WITH 10 SMALL FIRES
The rst ten res should be light, moderate and not overly loaded with wood. We recommend a small re
consisting of 3-4 logs weighing around 3kg in total.
PAINT
It is strongly recommended that no person(s) come into contact with the external faces of the appliance
without the protective gloves provided, this will avoid any ‘marking’on the paint surface prior to it being
cured. The paint will polymerise after several res. Do not scrub or clean the replace with any rough
surface (such as a sponge). In the case of accidental scratches, make several res until the paint is
cured, at which time you can delicately clean the outside of the appliance with a hot sponge. Do not
scratch or rub the replace while it is lit. It is recommended contact with the replace should be kept to
a minimum. Do not paint the replace using products NOT recommended by the supplier, please contact
your authorised dealer should you require further assistance.
Avoid scratches and markings on your appliance by not placing any objects on your appliance during
operation and when not in use.
VENTILATION
A strong burning smoke odour may be smelt during the rst several res, it is therefore recommended to
ventilate the premises by opening windows/doors in order for the paint to cure. This phenomenon will
disappear after these initial burns cycles.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
The re is started with the airways open. The re-lighting starter and the combustion control must allow
maximum air intake. In order to limit smoke emission, it is preferable to use the inverted or top-down re
lighting method (see illustration below). An initial load of 3kg of wood provides a good layer of embers.

17
5. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION & USER GUIDE CONTINUED
Before establishing the rst re, remove all labels or equipment parts located in the ash box or in the
furnace.
While building your rst re, keep the combustion rate at a moderate level to ensure that the sealant binds
with the paint. All materials should be seasoned.
Please note: Before building a big re, establish several res. The curing process is necessary to ensure
that the paint is not damaged and that the insert is well seasoned.
Do not overload the furnace. The optimum amount of fuel should not exceed one third (1/3) of the insert
volume. Before reloading, make sure that the re has subsided. This will keep the replace from over-
ring.
Flow of air can be regulated by the damper controls at the front of the unit.
Except for the short time required to build a re, the replace door should be fully closed. If doors are left
partly open, ue gas may be drawn out of the opening creating risks from both re and smoke.
ESTABLISHING THE FIRST FIRE
IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
After an extended time of non-use, it is recommended that the rebox be checked and cleaned by a
professional to ensure there is no obstruction in the ue and no blocking of the manoeuvring members
(damper) before ignition.
DAMPER AIR CONTROLS
The best way to control the re is to completely close the primary air slide and to adjust the speed with
the air ow control. If the air supply seems sucient you can partially open the primary air slide for a
while. The more air you will supply into the stove, the more intense your re will be, but with a shorter time
of combustion. On the contrary, a reduced quantity of air would increase the combustion with less heat
output.

IMPORTANT
This replace has a decorative outer casing which is not designed to have anything resting on top.
Do not place wood, pots, or any other items on top of the replace.

18
5. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Ventilation devices which operate with the replace on the same premises or on the premises which
share the same ventilation shaft may not function properly.
Please ensure the air grate is never blocked.
During installation please allow for access to have the replace and the connecting shaft cleaned.
If required, install cut-o and stiing devices.
RECOMMENDED FUEL
This replace is designed for only wood fuel. Any fuel other than wood is strictly forbidden.
As a general rule it is recommended; use dry, well-seasoned HARD WOOD with a 15% moisture content or
less in order for the unit to burn eectively and avoid any tarring. The heating output of wood depends on
the moisture percentage.

AVERAGE WOOD DRYING TIME BASED ON MOISTURE CONTENT
If the wood is piled up loosely, it will burn faster because the necessary oxygen for the combustion will
easily reach every piece of wood. This piling is recommended if you want to heat over a short period of
time. When the wood is piled more compact, it will burn slower because the oxygen won’t reach all the
logs at the same time. This piling is recommended if you want to heat over a longer period of time.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE THIS FIREBOX WITH THE DOOR OPEN.
DOOR: Do not open the door too fast as this will create a suction of smoke inside the room.
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Misty or foggy weather may possibly favour back-ow of the smoke, which may be a health hazard. In
this case only use the replace as is necessary.
For safety reasons, assemblies of appliances and accessories not provided or recommended by Axis or
Sculpt Fireplaces are NOT PERMITTED. Unsuitable equipment may cause dysfunctions and disorder upon
use.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
Stop fuelling the re and let it burn out. The re should burn out without any constraints. Do not close the
air slides before the re is completely extinguished, otherwise it may release noxious gases.
CAUTION: Do not hang or install objects within 2m of the appliance. This includes paintings, photos,
televisions, and any other combustible material.

19
OPERATION & USER GUIDE CONTINUED
IMPORTANT WARNING
Storing any ammable materials (paper, linen, furniture, solvents, ammable liquids, spray containers,
gas bottle, etc.) close to the replace is strictly forbidden.
All these products should never be stored even for a short while in wood storages or recesses laid out
under or near the appliance.
CAUTION: The window, the front panel of the appliance, as well as all external faces including the
facade, will attain high temperatures (above 100°). Uninitiated persons, young children and infants
should be monitored at all times while in the vicinity of the appliance.
SLOW BURNING
Please be aware that this method may cause unburnt matter to accumulate in the ue system. This may
in the long term cause a chimney re. Our recommendation is to therefore avoid closing the damper and
primary air for an extended length of time. Use only dry hard wood with a maximum moisture content of
15% to assist in reducing creosote build up, and regularly light a high intensity re to burn o the build up.
A draught is created from the dierence in temperature between the interior and the exterior ue. The higher
the temperature inside the ue, the more intense the draught is. Before closing the air inlets and reducing
the combustion level in the stove for a slow burn, the temperature inside the ue must be high enough to
adequately draw all the ue gas.
CAUTION: Continuous and intensive slow burn operation may cause early deterioration of the appliance and
its components, as well as a chimney re if the ue has not been regularly cleaned.
TRANSITION PERIOD, INSUFFICIENT CHIMNEY DRAUGHT AND POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS
Pay attention to the operations of the insert during transition periods and/or when chimney draught is
insucient or when weather conditions are unfavourable, especially during severe cold weather. Such
conditions may cause ue gas to ow into the room. To prevent such a situation, you should reduce the
intensity of re by curbing the inux of air into the combustion chamber until smoke disappears. Afterwards
you may increase air ow monitoring for any appearance of smoke in the room.
MAINTENANCE
The vitro-ceramic glass can withstand temperatures of up to 750°C. If the glass breaks following a handling
error, it is not recommended to replace it using a material other than that supplied by the manufacturer. The
original glass quality must be used to maintain any warranty of the wood stove.
CLEANING THE GLASS
The window of the replace requires regular cleaning with specic products intended for this use. The use
of moist hard wood with a moisture content above 15% causes excessive creosote build up on the glass.
Once again we recommend only burning very dry hard wood.
We recommend waiting for the glass to cool before cleaning it. The use of products that are too aggressive
(eg. abbrasive cleaners) may lead to the deterioration of some of the wood heater parts. An eective and
ecological method of cleaning the glass is to use a piece of damp newspaper dipped in ash and then rinsing
with clean water. You can also use a commercially available glass cleaning product.

20
MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
FLUE & FIREBOX
Flues should be professionally cleaned and checked twice a year, including at least once during the peak
period of use and more if required. A professional should also check seals, door ropes, bae plates and all
consumable parts of the rebox and ue to ensure the unit is in safe working order.
DO NOT REMOVE THE BAFFLE EXCEPT WHEN PERFORMING A CHIMNEY SWEEP
CAUTION: Cracked and/or broken components (eg. glass panels or baes) may render the installation/
operation unsafe. Do not use the appliance if this is the case and contact your dealer.
ASH PAN
The ash pan should be emptied regularly in order to avoid any overow and clogging of the re grate. Use
