Fitting the Flue Shield Deflector
for Tarras MKII and Flare (All Variants)
To fit the heat shield deflector:
 Place the deflector on top of the
heat shield and ensure no large
gaps
 Fix in place by securing the tabs
with rivets to the heat shield

*IMPORTANT - Flue shields should be no further than 10mm off the top of the fire box*
Factory Flue Shields
All Woodsman free standing fires have been tested and approved to ASNZ 2918:2001
with a ceiling height of 2.4m and with the factory flue shield fitted in the below configu-
rations. In some cases, the top of the flue shield terminates within 600mm of the ceiling
height (refer to ASNZ 2918:2001 4.5.2) but all ceiling temperatures did not exceed the
allowable limit in these cases and are therefore able to be installed. Reports are avail-
able on request for Councils.
If the ceiling height is less than 2.4m, then heat shielding is required as per ASNZ
2918:2001 Table 3.2
Ceiling Heights
WARNING
This part is required to be installed on
the listed models with ALL types of flue
kits. Failure to do so, may cause the
ceiling to over heat. The part is located
in the fire itself and not the flue kit
packaging.

Hearth Graph
This graph refers to Page 4 figure C and Page 5 figures Q & R.
The hearth distance out in front of the fire (taken from the door), is dependent on the
thickness of the hearth. The thicker the hearth is above the surrounding combustible
floor, the less this distance is out in front of the fire.

Reducing Clearances
The clearances that are provided on page 4 are to combustible materials. You can safely reduce
those clearances by following the instructions located in AS/NZS 2918:2001 table 3.1 and 3.2
You can reduce the clearances by placing a non-combustible heat shield, with an air gap behind it
and vented top and bottom, between the fire and the combustible wall. Masonry may be used as a
heat shield material. The heat shield must extend a minimum of 450mm beyond the top of the ap-
pliance and must be of appropriate width to ensure that the unshielded rear clearance is adhered to
beyond the sides of the heat shield. See example below.

WARNING - This is only an example, you must refer to the full AS/NZS 2918:2001
document for more details and consult your local building inspector. Where heat shields
are used to reduce appliance dimensions, additional flue shielding may be required
(refer 4.5.2).

Installation Instructions
This appliance should only be installed by a trained and NZHHA qualified installer.
Warning: the appliance and flue system shall be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 2918 and the appropriate requirements of
relevant building code/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 com-
ponents may result in hazardous conditions. Where such action is considered, the manufacturer should be consulted in the first in-
stance.
Caution: cracked and broken components e.g. glass panels or ceramic tiles, may render the installation unsafe.
 Maintain a clearance of at least 1 metre between front of the appliance and building structure or any other substantial im-
movable object.
 If the appliance is installed on a heat sensitive floor, the floor should be protected with an insulation floor protector, which
shall extend entirely beneath the heater. For the correct floor protector extension, refer to dimension C in FIG 1 & 2.
 Your appliance shall be seismically restrained, including the floor protector using the provided holes or brackets. The re-
straints should be sufficient enough to resist a seismic loading equal to 0.4 times the mass of the appliance. We recommend a
minimum of 8mm dynabolts on concrete floors and 8mm coach screws for wooden floors of appropriate length.
WETBACK WARNINGS:
 Do not connect to an unvented hot water system.
 NEVER burn the appliance without the wetback connected to the water system. This will immediately damage the wetback
and void the warranty.
 Install in accordance with AS 3500.4.1 or NZS 4603 and the appropriate requirements of the relevant building code/codes.
