FLOOR PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION
Where the original masonry floor protector in front of the fireplace is not large enough, the extension
must be securely fixed to the floor, and the joint between the extension and the original masonry must
be sealed to prevent entry of ash or embers. The extension should consist of a 6mm layer of fibre
cement such as Hardies Tile and Slate Underlay, topped with decorative tiles or slate. Additionally, in
New Zealand there should be one layer of Micore 160 beneath the fibre cement sheet. A decorative
trim can be fitted around the edges to tidy up the construction.
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX AND FLUE
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. The LE 7000 case is 595mm
high, 630mm wide and 485 deep, while the Grande Provincial is 670mm high, 720mm wide and
485mm deep. Clear away any rubble and inspect and seal the chimney and fireplace as detailed under
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
Remove the polystyrene packing from above the baffle taking care not to damage the baffle.
Check the distance back from the face of the surround to the centre of chimney to determine whether
the flue will mate with the flue socket in the stove without requiring an offset. If an offset is needed,
fix it to the lower end of the assembled flue sections in the chimney and lift the flue assembly up while
the firebox case is pushed back into the recess. Verify that the case will be fully supported in a level
position when installed. Slide the case in and adjust its position so that its flange is in line with the
face of the surround. (If a fascia extending kit is being used on the LE 3000, the flange should be
10mm forward from the surround face).
Where seismic restraint is necessary, screw the case to the base of the fireplace recess with at least
two 12 gauge screws through the holes in the bottom panel of the firebox outer case.
If space above the case for positioning and fixing the flue is limited, access can be provided by sliding
out the top front section of the case. Alternatively, the top baffle inside the firebox may be removed
for access purposes. Removal is described in the MAINTENANCE section under FIREBOX TOP
BAFFLE. The flue can then be lowered into position.
Seal the flue at the firebox spigot using fire cement or fibreglass rope. Secure the flue to the spigot .
Re-fit the sliding panel with the insulating blanket on top of the LE 3000 in New Zealand. Do not
forget to replace the baffle and secondary air tube if they have been removed.
Instructions for fixing and weather-proofing the top end of the flue are supplied with the flue kit.
INTERNAL PARTS
Check for correct positioning. See 'FIREBOX LINERS' in the Maintenance section.
FASCIA
Re-assemble the fascia to the firebox case, fitting the wiring exactly as shown on page 17.
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.
ASH SHELF OR LOWER GRILLE
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 fit the grille or shelf, hang it
on the posts at the bottom of the fascia, taking care to feed the mains flex for the fan through the
fascia side panel as the shelf is lowered into position. Hook the top on first, then swing the bottom
into position. If a retaining screw (or screws) is fitted underneath, align the screw with the socket and
press inward gently on the screw head until it 'clicks' into engagement.
UPPER GRILLE (or fascia)
The primary air control knob must be removed before the upper grille can be fitted or removed. It is
retained by a Phillips-head screw from underneath. To avoid damaging the knob, check that the screw
hole and the hole in the plate are in line before replacing the screw.
INSTALLING A WATER HEATING BOOSTER (LE 3000 Provincial in New Zealand only).
The necessary piping arrangements must be made for this before the case is fitted into the recess. The
tube may be fitted on either side of the firebox, and the plumbing requirements are the same as those
for the free-standing models. See page 9 for details.
