Installing the flue

The flue system used when installing the heater MUST comply
with the current installation standard AS/NZS 2918.
Full instructions on the installation of the flue will be supplied
with the flue kit. These MUST be followed closely, including
the minimum exit height from the top of the floor protector
being not less than 4.6m, and the minimum exit height above
the roof line of roof ridge as detailed in the flue kit
instructions.
If installed adjacent to a combustible surface, a rear flue shield
with a minimum length of 900mm extending from the top of
the heater upwards, and not less than 20mm off from the rear
of the active flue must be fitted.
If the draft is insufficient or periodic down drafting occurs and
the heater smokes or only burns slowly, extending the flue or
fitting a specialized cowl will usually resolve the issue.
