MANTEL-SHELF SHIELDING

Mantel-shelves wider or lower than those shown can be used provided that they have heat shields

below them. We recommend a sheet metal shield fixed 20mm below the shelf on non-combustible

spacers. The shield must abut the wall and protect the entire depth of the shelf. It must extend at

least 200mm from each side of the appliance or to the ends of the shelf if this is less. The 20mm air

space under the shelf must be open at the ends and front to allow free air circulation.

FLOOR PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION

If the original masonry floor protector is not large enough, any extension must be securely fixed to

the floor, and the extension joint must be sealed to prevent entry of ash or embers. The extension

should be a 6mm layer of fibre cement ( e.g. Hardies Tile and Slate Underlay, topped with 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. The

dimensions are shown in the Table on the back cover. Clear away any rubble and clean, 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 require an offset fitting. If 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 case flange should be 10mm forward from the

surround face).

To provide seismic restraint, screw the case to the base of the fireplace recess with at least two 12

gauge screws through the holes in the bottom of the firebox outer case.

Slide out the top front section of the case for access for fitting and fixing the flue. Alternatively, the

top firebox baffle may be removed for this purpose. Baffle removal is described in the

MAINTENANCE section under FIREBOX TOP BAFFLE. Lower the flue 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 (if provided) on top of the firebox outer cabinet.

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.

Assemble the fascia to the firebox case as per the instructions accompanying it, fitting the wiring (if

any) exactly as shown on page 17 or 18.

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 any Provincial fitted with a fan. 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

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

The necessary piping arrangements must be made for this before the case is fitted into the recess. If

it is a side entry model, the tube may be fitted on either side of the firebox. The plumbing

requirements are the same as those for the free-standing models. See page 9 for details.
