1. Introduction Congratulations! You are now the owner of a MASPORT KAITUNA Ultra Low Emission wood Burner designed and developed by Glen Dimplex New Zealand Ltd. Firstly, thank you for purchasing a Masport appliance. Your new generation wood fire has been designed to provide you with all the warmth and comfort needed whilst having ULTRA LOW emissions to dramatically reduce the impact on the environment.
AS/NZS 2918 safety standards. • The Kaituna burner was tested using a Masport flue system, it is recommended that it is installed using a Masport flue system or a flue system that has been tested and complies with AS/NZS 2918:2018 Appendix F.
250~300 from flue termination. Also, we recommend not to use Masport Opti or equivalent flue kits in this area, as they take ceiling or external cold air and cool the flue casings, leading to accelerated creosote build-up in the main flue pipe.
25mm 6. Ash Hearth Requirements The Kaituna has been tested and met the minimum requirement for an ash hearth set out in AS/NZS 2918: 2018. This heater weighs approximately 130kg so ensure that the floor structure is sufficient to withstand this weight, materials used for the floor protector must also be able to withstand the weight and not crack nor break.
AS/NZS 2918:2018, Appendix F shall be used with a 900mm long Masport double skin flue shield. It is highly recommended that the 200 inner casing of Masport flue system be extended to within 250~300mm below the top of the 250mm outer casing.
Moisture content, tree species, and log size are the main factors affecting the performance of the wood burner. Masport recommends using softwood, cutting your wood to a size to fit into the fire box and has a moisture content of 16 – 25% range is preferable, also loading your wood in a front to back orientation is better for performance and a cleaner burn.
13.2 Initial light-up with kindling and intermediate load 1. Make sure the air control is set in the "HIGH" position. 2. Place the intermediate load 1 evenly across the base of the heater in a front to back direction. 3. Place the kindling pieces on top of the 4 logs, they should be stacked 4x4x4x4 as in image 3. 4.
Dispose of the ash ONLY when it is cold. ASHBOX The Kaituna ash box is incorporated into the pedestal, to empty ash remove the ashplug from inside the firebox and proceed to push the ash into the cavity. Once you have removed sufficient ash, clean around IT IS IMPORTANT to the ash plug surface and reinsert it back into firebox.
Baffle - The stainless-steel baffle used in Kaituna is made of durable stainless steel, it has a rear air intake chute, which needs to be fitted properly into the slot on the back wall of the fire. For flue cleaning, this baffle must be removed as described below.
17. Replacement Parts Some components used in the KAITUNA are considered replaceable. These parts will wear out or degrade over time. The life of these parts will vary upon How frequently fire is used.
Can be a result of installation issues, poor wood quality, where the heater is situated and environmental influences. If you suspect your heater is not performing, contact your local MASPORT representative and have them examine all factors to try and resolve this issue.
