Introduction - Masport HORIZON Owner's Manual & Installation Manual

INTRODUCTION

In the interests of your safety, most building regulatory Authorities in Australia and New
Zealand require any woodfire installation to comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918.
They may also have local requirements in addition to those in the Standard so you should
approach your local 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.
Woodfire models covered by this manual have been tested to demonstrate compliance with
current emission requirements in Australia and New Zealand.
WE RECOMMEND
WOODFIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER.
IF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
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.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY COMPONENTS APPROVED BY MASPORT ARE USED
FOR THE INSTALLATION, as substitutes may adversely affect performance and might nullify
compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918.
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING
CODE OR CODES.
WARNING: APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE
REGULATORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE IDENTIFIABLE BY A
COMPLIANCE PLATE WITH THE MARKING 'TESTED TO AS/NZS 4013'. ANY MODIFICATION
OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITNG BY THE TESTING
AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES
OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER
SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
CAUTION: CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, e.g. GLASS PANELS, MAY RENDER THE
INSTALLATION UNSAFE.
Additionally, for woodfires using water heating devices:-
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT TO AN UNVENTED HOT WATER SYSTEM. INSTALL IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AS 3500.4.1 OR NZS 4603 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
