1. WARNINGS
This Fire should be Maintained and Operated at all times in accordance with
these instructions.
The Forte Flush AG & Rural and the Athena Flush AG & Rural have been tested to N.Z. Standards
AS/NZS 2918:2001.
If this Fire is incorrectly installed a house fire may result. For your safety follow the installation
instructions carefully.
Do NOT connect the Fire to a chimney serving another Fire.
Although the exterior of the Fire may appear cool, contact with the Fire may cause burns; warn children
and others of the possibility of injury should they touch the Fire.
Do NOT dry clothing or unseasoned wood directly in contact with the Fire.
Keep all household combustible materials at least 600mm away from front of the Fire. This includes
clothing, furniture, wood, newspaper, plastic, matches, etc.
Do not use FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS or AEROSOLS in the vicinity of this Fire when it is operating
Use caution when reloading with fuel. Do NOT attempt to load fuel into the Fire when the fire inside the
stove is at or near its peak.
Do NOT burn large quantities of paper or combustible material that would create an extremely hot/quick
fire.
Do NOT burn highly coloured paper or brochures (junk mail).
USE ONLY DRY WOOD 25% or less moisture contact. AVOID BURNING WET OR GREEN WOOD.
The use of preservative treated wood as a fuel can be hazardous.
Timber treated with copper chromium and arsenic type preservatives will leave toxic residues in the ash,
firebox or within the flue, timber offcuts from building construction will often contain boric salts. The
combustion of this material over prolonged periods can produce adverse effects on refractory lining in
solid fuel Fires. Emission of poisonous gases can also be experienced with the burning of treated wood.
Driftwood with salt content will also cause rapid deterioration of the Fire and should not be used.

2. INSTALLATION RESPONSIBILITIES
Warning: The Fire and Flue system must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001 and the
appropriate requirements of the relevant NZ Building Code or Codes. If the flue system has been
AS/NZS 2918:2001 Appendix F tested by the flue system manufacturer then their specifications for the
installation of the flue system must be adhered to.
Any modification of the Fire that has not been approved in writing by the testing authority is considered
to be in breach of the approval granted for compliance with AS/NZS 4013.
Caution: Mixing of Fire 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.
Strict adherence to these instructions will meet these standards. Any variation from these installation
instructions or any doubt about them must be checked against the requirements of the standards.
Please leave this manual with the owner when installation is complete.
3. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
If the Fire is to be placed on or within 500mm of a heat sensitive floor, an insulated floor protector will
be required.
The insulated floor protector needs to extend under the Fire and in front of the door. See dimensions
for floor protector. Similarly a 200mm extension is required on each side of the door opening unless the
insulated floor protector forms an abutment with a wall or heat shield at a lesser distance.
The Fire and floor protector must be fixed to the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor points are provided
in the feet of the Fire.
INSULATED FLOOR PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION
An Insulated Floor Protector shall be a minimum thickness of 40mm, consisting of 20mm of an
approved insulation material i.e. 2 sheets of 10mm Micorboard or Supalux, 10mm tile backing board
and 10mm tiles or similar on the top surface. All joints on the upper surface should be sealed to
prevent spilt ash from contacting any heat-sensitive material.
