Measure the fireplace recess and remove bricks as necessary to accept the firebox outer case.
Clear away any rubble and clean, inspect and seal the chimney and fireplace as detailed under
‘INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS’.
Check the distance back from the face of the surround to the centre of chimney to determine
whether the flue will require an offset fitting.
Remove the door from the fire by opening it and lifting it up until the top pivot comes free and then
lower the door until the bottom pivot comes free.
Fit the Insulating Blanket (supplied with the fire) over the firebox cabinet. See drawing on page 7.
You require a 150mm diameter flue kit. We recommend the use of the GDA flue kit for insert
fires.
Assemble all flue pipes (use sealant and stainless steel fasteners) and lower assembly into
chimney. If flue offset fitting is required, fit it to the flue assembly from below and then lift the whole
assembly upwards to make room for the appliance. Verify that the case will be fully supported in a
level position when installed.
The flue pipe must be fitted right up the masonry chimney to exit above the chimney top, and the
space between the flue pipe and chimney must be ventilated at the top. The area of this vent must
not be less than 10,000mm2. The vent must 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 flue temperature changes. This movement can be 25mm or more.
The LE4000 Prov has a curved sheet metal heat-shield on the top surface of the heater cabinet to
shield the flue spigot area from the front breast of the surround. A 25mm thick layer of compressed
insulation blanket covers the top surface of the heater cabinet.
Slide the firebox case into the cavity and adjust its position so that the flange on the top panel of
case is in line with the face of the fireplace surround. Slide out the top front section of the case for
access for fitting and fixing the flue. Lower the flue assembly into position. Seal the flue at the
firebox spigot using fire cement or fiberglass rope. Secure the flue to the spigot. Use stainless steel
screws. Now fit the flue shield (250 x 470mm) to the top of the fire as shown on drawing on page
7. This shield should “just” jammed between flue and the cabinet top. Re-fit the sliding panel with
the insulating blankets on top of the firebox outer cabinet.
In New Zealand and some regions of Australia, Standards require that the woodfire be secured to
prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake.
To provide seismic restraint, screw the case to the base of the fireplace recess with at least two
6mm masonry anchors (Dynabolts) or two 12 gauge screws through the holes in the bottom of the
firebox outer case. (Fasteners not supplied).
INTERNAL PARTS
Ensure that the ceiling baffle, secondary air tube and the two side boards are in their correct
position.
FASCIA
Assemble the fascia if necessary and fit to firebox as per instructions given on page 9.
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.
