Introduction - Masport LE 3000 2 Series Owner's Manual & Installation Manual

INTRODUCTION

In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and New
Zealand require any woodfire installation to comply with the relevant National Standard. They
may also have local requirements in addition to those in the Standard so you should approach
your local Building Authority before commencing installation to establish whether you will
require a Permit and whether you will need to meet extra requirements. All MASPORT
Woodfires have been tested to ensure that they will meet the appropriate safety Standard
requirements if the instructions in this book are followed.
Woodfire models covered by this manual have been tested to demonstrate compliance with
current emission Standards in Australia and New Zealand.
WE RECOMMEND

IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
