    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.

    FREE-STANDING MODELS (See page 11 for in-built models) UNPACKING After removal of the shipping carton, open the door and take out all loose parts except the polystyrene packers above the top baffle. Do NOT discard the top baffle. You may find it more convenient to lift the door from its hinges at this stage.

  • Page 6: Positioning

    Flue installations other than strictly vertical ones are possible. See current Australian and New Zealand Standards for information on flues passing through walls and eaves. Detailed dimensional requirements for the flue installation are included with every MASPORT approved flue system. NEW ZEALAND —...

  • Page 8: Hearth (Floor Protector) Requirements

    HEARTH (Floor Protector) REQUIREMENTS — FREE-STANDING MODELS Unless your woodfire will be standing on an un-covered fireproof floor which extends at least as far as the minimum hearth areas shown below, it will be necessary to provide a hearth for floor protection. See page 8 for construction details. Where the minimum requirements bring the edge of the hearth nearly to a wall, it is better to extend the hearth to meet the wall.

  • Page 10: Corner Hearths (Floor Protectors)

    CORNER HEARTHS (Floor Protectors) While the information in the previous section details the MINIMUM size of hearth necessary to comply with the Safety Standards, it may often be desirable to use a somewhat larger area of hearth for æsthetic reasons. A particular example is when the woodfire is installed diagonally in a corner.

    4. Flue heat shielding must be fitted unless all heat sensitive material is at least 600mm away from the flue surface. In New Zealand we recommend the use of genuine Masport flue kits. The flue MUST be installed in accordance with the detailed instructions accompanying it. Grandview, Toronto and Colorado ceiling plates should be 450mm square.

    However, they MUST be in place, and in good condition, before lighting the fire. All Masport models are supplied with either fire-bricks or insulating board to line the firebox. The LE 2000 has insulating board already fixed in position at the factory. In the other models, two bricks or boards are to be fitted across the back of the firebox wall, and the others will fit against the end walls.

  • Page 13: Installing A Water Heating Booster

    INSTALLING A WATER HEATING BOOSTER Water heating booster tubes can be fitted to woodfires sold in New Zealand. Fitting a water booster tube converts an /S model into a /W type. If a tube is retro-fitted, in some cases the air metering plate must be changed to ensure that emission requirements are still met.

  • Page 14: Unpacking

    IN-BUILT MODELS (See page 3 for free-standing models) All current LE Provincial models (Australian and New Zealand), can be fitted with three- speed air circulating fans. (Fans are not permitted in Provincial fires installed in the Clean Air Zones of Christchurch and Canterbury). These are mounted inside the ash shelf which protrudes below the firebox door.

  • Page 15: Hearth (Floor Protector)

    The flue recommended for use in Australia is a stainless steel chimney kit such as the Shamic #4. In New Zealand, we recommend the use of the Masport Provincial flue kit. Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as necessary to accept the firebox outer case which is 560mm high, 590mm wide and 460mm deep for the LE 3000 models.

    With the ash shelf removed, fit the fascia to the firebox case, keeping a gap of about 2mm between the hearth and the lower edge of the fascia. (See illustration) DOOR Hook the bottom pivot over the lower end of the hinge pin and lift the door up until the top pivot drops over the top end of the hinge pin.

  • Page 17: Operating Instructions - All Models

    A high fire can be shut down rapidly only by starving it of air, and this will result in undesirable emissions. For this reason, Masport woodfires are designed to settle down to lower heat outputs comparatively slowly.

  • Page 18: Operating Hints

    LIGHTING UP (Continued) When the kindling is well alight, open the door slowly and add some larger pieces of wood. Do not throw fuel pieces into the firebox as this could damage the top baffle and the insulating boards or firebricks. Close and latch the door firmly.

  • Page 19: Safety

    • Do not modify your woodfire in any way without obtaining written permission from the Manufacturers. • Do not use the woodfire if the glass is broken. Replace it only with the correct ceramic glass, available from your MASPORT dealer.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE ASH REMOVAL This should be necessary only very occasionally. Simply shovel out any excess, always leaving a bed of sand or ash to the tops of the ribs on the bottom of the firebox. CLEANING THE GLASS A good hot fire will burn away any deposits left from a long slow burn. If desired, a NON- CAUSTIC oven cleaner can be used.
