Page 10: Outside Air Kit Installation
OUTSIDE AIR KIT INSTALLATION For optimal performance of your Woodfire, we recommend installing an Outside Air Kit. Efficient combustion requires heat, oxygen, and fuel. In modern, well-insulated homes with double glazing and extraction fans, the Woodfire may experience reduced oxygen supply, making it harder to ignite and potentially causing smoke. - Page 11 The part of the Duct that goes through the wall is 90mm wide and 70mm deep. All work carried out must meet the New Zealand Building Code or Codes. 11 | P a g e...

Page 12: Operating Instructions
9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, PLEASE RECORD YOUR SERIAL NUMBER ON PAGE 17 AND KEEP THIS BOOK IN A SAFE PLACE.

Page 13: Re-Loading After An Extended Burn Time
RE-LOADING AFTER AN EXTENDED BURN TIME At the end of an extended burn, re-establish the fire by adding a few small split logs, adjust the Air Control to ‘High’ and allow the firebox temperature to build up before adding the balance.

Page 14: Maintenance
10 MAINTENANCE SECONDARY CHAMBER: The baffles (horizontal bricks in the ceiling of firebox) are critical to the Woodfire’s performance. They should be checked annually during flue cleaning and replaced if signs of deterioration are evident. Lift the steel top plate and then the front cast top plate from the Woodfire and remove. Remove any soot and creosote build-up from the secondary chamber. -
Page 15: Fire Bricks
FIRE BRICKS: The internal fire bricks on the sides and base of the firebox can crack in extreme heat. However, they are safe to leave as is until they start to crumble, in which case they should be replaced. FIRE ROPE: As part of the general maintenance, the door rope and glass tape should be checked and replaced regularly. -
