WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR MASPORT WOODFIRE BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER.

IN SOME REGIONS POWER POINTS ARE NOT PERMISSIBLE WITHIN THE FLOOR PROTEC- TOR AREA, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS INSTALLATIONS- FLOOR TO CEILING ENCLOSURE: Inspect the house construction at the proposed installation position to verify that the flue cas- ing (250mm diameter, plus 12mm clearance all around) can pass right up through the ceiling space without requiring the removal of essential roof or ceiling support beams. The flue center- line will be 286mm from the rear wall and it must be at least 500mm distant from any side wall.

It is usually convenient to carry the same material right up to the ceiling level. The side clad- ding of the enclosure may be GIB board or any other wall cladding material. You must leave the cladding off at least one side until the flue system has been installed. For heat sensitive floors, construct an ash floor protector of the shape shown in the Floor Plan above.

Slide the firebox cabinet into the shielding box (the insulating blanket should be fitted to the cabinet prior to that). Centralize it and secure the restraint brackets to the shielding box flanges. Complete the seismic restraint of the fire by screwing the base plate of the fire to the bottom of the shielding box with two M6 screws.
