SAFETY INFORMATION
General:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
For the protection of young children, install an effective fire safety screen around your fire. Always keep
children well away from the wood burner when it is alight.
Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
During initial burns of the appliance, ventilate the rooms well. It is recommended that babies, small
children, pregnant women and pets should not be present in the area during initial burns as this is the
firebox paint curing period.
Do not make any modifications to the unit, and use it only in the manner described in the manual. Using it
in any manner not recommended by the manufacturer may result in injury or death.
For units including electrical connections:
If the wood burner is permanently connected to an electrical source, an isolating switch (wall switch) must
be installed.
New circuits or modifications, if required, but be made using the services of a certified electrician only.
Ensure that the outlets you use are grounded properly, polarised and provided with fuse units.
Ensure that the electrical plug is accessible after installation. The wood burner must not be located
immediately below an electrical socket.
Never operate the appliance with a damaged plug or cord, or if you observe the fan unit is malfunctioning
or the heater has been damaged in any way. Call the authorised service person immediately for repairs or
making electrical or mechanical adjustments. –Isolate the electrical supply in order to alleviate any
potential risk.
If the supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer, its service agent or a suitably qualified person must
replace it in order to avoid electrical hazard. Any cord similar to the original can be used.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
I. It is imperative that you familiarise yourself with this entire document, and also ensure you have
sufficient knowledge of relevant building regulations prior to proceeding with an installation.
II. The term “Zero Clearance”, or “ZC” is in common parlance, however it refers to reduced rather
than actual nil clearances. Please refer to specifications in this document in conjunction with the
relevant building code if unsure of clearances.
III. The appliance and flue system shall be installed in compliance with AS/NZS 2918:2001 and the
appropriate requirements of the relevant building code or codes.
IV. 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”
V. 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
VI. 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.
VII. Cracked and broken components e.g. glass panels or fire bricks, may render the installation
unsafe.

A. Yunca recommends that competent trades persons carry out all installations (e.g. a
NZHHA Registered Installer), to obtain maximum performance and safe, efficient
heating.
B. A consent is required and we suggest you check with local building inspectors as by-laws
do vary from area to area. Also notify your Insurance Company that a solid fuel heater
has been installed.
C. Floor Protector
C1. Built-in (ZC) installations: Floor protector (Promina/Bellis Board or similar non-
combustible material) must be installed so that its leading edge is a minimum of
500mm in front of the appliance base [with fascia attached]. The floor protector
must be a minimum of 860mm wide x 1090mm deep x 9mm thick.
C2. Front floor protector clearances may be reduced if appliance is elevated. (Table 2)
D. Seismic restraint.
D1. Heater must be restrained from seismic movement (Fig. 9) as required by AS/NZS
2918:2001
E. Heat sensitive materials exclusion zone.
E1. Non-combustible front cladding must be used, to a minimum of 600mm above the
top-most panel vent, and a minimum of 30mm either side of the fascia (152mm
either side of the outer casing of the firebox (Zero Clearance Kit). (Fig. 5)
E2. No heat-sensitive material is permitted to contact the fascia forming or surrounding
the front of the installation.
E3. No heat-sensitive material is to be placed any closer than 1315mm from the base of
the Zero Clearance Box, 20mm from either side, or 20mm from the rear.
E4. Where a nogging or lintel is required, a steel angle or other suitable non-combustible
alternative should be used if within the aforementioned exclusion zone.
F. Mantel Clearances.
F1. Built-in Zero Clearance installation must have a minimum of 1300mm from the
underside of the mantel shelf to the top of the appliance hearth. The mantel shelf
must not protrude further than 250mm into the room. Minimum clearance of
1200mm from the underside of the mantel key (first combustible above appliance) to
the top of the appliance hearth. The mantel key must not protrude further than
30mm into the room.
F2. All installations must have a minimum of 600mm vertically from the top vent to the
nearest combustible material.
F3. A 100mm heat deflector must be installed directly above the fascia for the full width
of the appliance if a combustible mantel key or shelf is present.
F4. Mantel uprights must not protrude further than 70mm into the room, and be no
closer than 30mm to the fascia on the side of the appliance where fans are
(internally) hard wired. For units with external wiring using the included cable
through the side panel, the side clearance to mantel uprights should be a minimum
of 100mm to allow for the cable exiting the side panel.

G. Xander Wood Burner Dimensions
(Fig. 1)
Dimensions given include the Built-in
“Zero Clearance”cabinet and also
the bottom infill fascia panel, which
is required for ZC installations.
Vented fascia top panel must be
used for Built-in (ZC) installations.
(The blank fascia top panel is for masonry installations
only)
H. Cavity Dimensions
H1. Cavity should be prepared based on the
given minimum clearances or greater.
(Table 1) & (Fig. 2)
Increasing the cavity dimensions slightly
will make installation easier.
Non-combustible material must be used
on front wall between appliance and first
nogging/frame of enclosure.
Heat-sensitive structures not to contact
carcass or appliance fascia.
Ensure wiring for fan (Fig. 11) is taken into
account when preparing cavity.
WARNING:
Cavity Dimensions must be determined in conjunction with requirements as per Section E
and Section L, with particular note made to the heat sensitive material exclusion zone.
I. Cavity Venting
I1. A 10,000mm² vent must be installed at least 600mm up from the base of the
enclosure. This can be any configuration as long as it equates to at least 10,000mm².
[For example: 1 hole at 100 x 100mm, 2 holes at 100 x 50mm, or 4 holes at 50 x 50mm].
I2. Suitable precautions should be taken to prevent rodents, birds and/or debris from
entering or obscuring the air vents. If grilles are used; ensure the minimum vent area
is maintained through the grille.

I3. WARNINGS:
A minimum of 450mm x 450mm space around the flue, in the enclosure ceiling,
through which the flue system passes, should be maintained to provide sufficient
ventilation in order to prevent heat build-up within the enclosure.
The constructed enclosure should not be capped off at ceiling level, as there
would be a considerable risk of fire from the build-up of heat. Such an installation
should be properly vented into the ceiling cavity with sufficient clearances to
comply with relevant building codes and practices.
For standard flue installations(Fig. 3); if any support is required under the chimney
cap, it should be constructed of non-combustible materials only.
