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.
Hexagon nuts. Place the washers on the set screws and pass the screws from inside the firebox through the holes in the pedestal. In the case of the Horizon, Siena and LE 2000, two of the screws pass through holes in the heat shield. The nuts will be inside the pedestal. Check the alignment of the pedestal before tightening the nuts firmly.

FLOOR PROTECTOR (Hearth) CONSTRUCTION In Australia the minimum floor protection requirement is a sheet of 6mm fibre cement board. It is usually fastened directly to the floor. In New Zealand, some woodfires must have an insulating floor protector. (See page 5). All other current models may be installed on an ash type floor protector.
(including a top dispersal cap), as detailed on page 4, must be fitted at the back of the flue (directly above the stove) to achieve the reduced wall clearances shown in the table. The Masport flue heat shield kit for 150mm flues is Part No 551481, while the kit for 178mm flues is Part No 551793.

‘built in’ (or ‘zero clearance’) metal shielding box. Built-in (zero clearance) installation kits and the special flue components necessary are available from your Masport Dealer. Full assembly instructions are included in the kit.
FLOOR PROTECTOR AND MANTEL-SHELF REQUIREMENTS « NOTE: Where a floor protector is shown as having zero height, its dimensions define the limits to which a heat sensitive floor covering may extend toward the heater. Since the floor within these boundaries will have no protective insulation, it will need to be heat resistant (e.g.concrete with no timber in contact).
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.
(to the left) to decrease it. 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.
Do not When the kindling is well alight, open the door slowly and add some larger pieces of wood. 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. Move the heat output control away from the maximum position only after the fire is well established.
Manufacturers. CAUTION. THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE USED IF THE GLASS IS CRACKED OR BROKEN. THE GLASS SHOULD BE REPLACED ONLY WITH A GENUINE CERAMIC GLASS REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FROM YOUR MASPORT DEALER. 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.

All Masport models have either fire-bricks or insulating board to line the firebox. (Some models have insulating boards already fixed in position at the factory). In the other models, two of the bricks or boards fit across the back of the firebox wall, and the others fit against the end walls.
To ensure continued safety, check the condition of the following items; the flue system (particularly the flue sections nearest the firebox), the firebox top baffle, the firebox liners (bricks and boards) and the door gasket. Replace parts only with genuine MASPORT spares. ________________________________________________...
