FIREPLACE INSERT MODELS
NOTE.
The following instructions cover the installation of any Provincial heater into a sound
masonry fireplace with an integral masonry chimney. Where such a chimney is not available, the
heater can be installed into a timber framed structure provided that it is mounted in a special '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.
All Provincial models (Australian and New Zealand), can be fitted with air circulating fans. These are
mounted inside the ash shelf (below the firebox door) in the case of LE 3000 and LE 7000 models.
The Grande Provincial fan is mounted below the firebox at the rear of the steel shielding box. (Fans
are not permitted in Provincial fires installed in the Clean Air Zones of Christchurch and Canterbury).
Fascia extending kits are available for the LE 3000 Provincial models to extend the fascia size from
660 high by 810 wide to 700 high by 900 wide to suit larger than normal fireplace openings. [Part No
986580 (black)].
UNPACKING
After removal of the shipping carton from the assembled heater, remove any shipping restraints,
remove the retaining screw under the control knob and pull it off. Lift the top grille clear. To avoid
the risk of electric shock or contact with moving parts, only the manufacturer, the
manufacturer's service agents or similarly qualified persons should remove the bottom grille of
the Grande Provincial or the ash shelf of the LE 7000 Provincial. To release the bottom grille or
ash shelf, it will be necessary on some models to turn the retaining screw(s) underneath it
anticlockwise one quarter of a turn. Swing the bottom away from the heater and lift clear. Remove six
screws holding the fascia and lift it clear, paying particular attention to the exact positioning of any
electrical wiring connections so that they can be re-assembled correctly later.
Keeping the fire upright, release it from the shipping pallet by unscrewing the shipping bolts.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Please read the INTRODUCTION on page 2, as this applies also to in-built models.
FIREPLACE
For a safe installation the following matters must be attended to.
• The masonry fireplace and chimney must be thoroughly cleaned and checked for soundness.
• The chimney must not connect to a second fireplace.
• The joint between the chimney face and the fireplace surround must be checked and sealed to
prevent leakage if necessary.
• Heat sensitive materials on the wall each side of the fireplace recess must not be closer to the recess
centreline than 595 mm for the LE 3000 Provincial, 615 mm for the LE 7000 Provincial and 660 mm
for the Grande Provincial. Above the recess, such materials must not be closer to the recess base than
1235 mm (all models), but this figure may be reduced to the 'D' dimension (see the Table on page 11)
corresponding to the intended mantelshelf width or to the 'D' dimension for the smallest shelf width if
no shelf is to be fitted.
• In New Zealand, the LE 3000 Provincial can be installed in a masonry fireplace even though the
fireplace has not been constructed to meet the timber-to-masonry separation requirements specified in
the Building Code and even though timber is in contact with the outside of the masonry. Where New
Zealand fireplaces can be shown to comply with those separation requirements, the LE 7000 and
Grande Provincial models can be installed. As noted above, all models can be installed in a timber
framed enclosure fitted with a specially designed metal shielding box. In Australia, all models may be
installed in any sound masonry fireplace equipped with a sound masonry chimney. Further, they may
be installed in a masonry enclosure by following the requirements detailed in AS/NZS 2918. Again,
they may also be installed in a timber framed enclosure fitted with a shielding box as mentioned
above.
• A flue pipe must be fitted right up the chimney, and the space between the flue pipe and chimney
must be ventilated at the top. The area of this vent must be not less than 10,000mm
be fitted with means to prevent significant ingress of water and debris. The flue must be free to move
up and down at the top as it expands and contracts with temperature changes. This movement can be
25mm or more.
