GENERAL INFORMATION & OPERATION
6. Heat Output
A Peak output of approximately 8.9Kw can be expected with dry soft wood. A maximum heat output of approximately 12—14Kw can be
expected with dry wood. Due to the clean air requirements there is reduced control of the minimum heat out put and the fires have limited
burn periods. The height of the flue system can have an effect on the draw, control and burn periods of the fire. The stove can heat an
area of approximately 100—140 sq meters.
NOTE : The condition, moisture content and type of wood burned will have a direct result on the performance of the fire.
A Rural fire that can burn for longer periods can be ordered, but contact your local council for Installation and Clean air compliance
requirements.
7. Construction
The firebox & door is constructed from 5mm steel plate . The outer skin and tray are constructed from 3mm Steel Plate .
8. Finish
High Temperature steel parts are finished with a matt black high temperature paint designed to withstand the rigors of
normal combustion.
9. Glass Door
When in operation, the full beauty of the combustion process can be seen through the large ceramic-glass window. This
window is kept clean by the inlet air passing from top to bottom over the glass. Any build up of residue that may occur on
the glass can be removed with a mild abrasive liquid cleaner or proprietary stove glass cleaner. Wet wood is more likely
than dry wood to produce window-marking emissions.
10. Testing
The Studio Stove has the Fire Box tested and approved to ASNZS 2918:2001 specifications for Solid Fuel burning heaters
& also to AS/NZS 4012 giving compliance with MFE (Ministry for the Enviroment New Zealand) clean air requirements in
New Zealand & Australia . The Stove has not been designed to operate with the door open for long periods . Clean Air
Testing is conducted with the door closed . See the attached Data Sheet on Page 2 & the Data Plate attached to the Fire .
Contact with your local TA (Territorial Authority) to check for local compliance.
11. Flue System
The Installation and Construction of the Flue System must comply with ASNZS 2918:2001 The Fire requires a Warmington
Tested and approved Flue system only, as tested to ASNZS 2918:2001 . The tested Flue System should not be modified in
any way without the written approval of the manufacturer. Any additional Flue components to the Flue system must comply
with ASNZS 2918:2001
12. Floor Protection
Floor protectors are normally designed to suit each individual “setting”. The Installation and Construction of the Floor
Protector must comply with ASNZS 2918:2001 . The Studio Stove requires a Ash Hearth (Floor Protector) as needed for
some types of wood burners.
13. Maintenance The Chimney is to be cleaned annually or more frequently if required.
Chimney Maintenance:
To clean chimney, Remove Baffle Plate inside the top of the Firebox & Close Door , then with a Ladder get on Roof
remove Cowl assembly . Make sure the door is closed on the fire & Close Air Control (wind in) to ensure soot etc can
fall into the Firebox . With a Chimney Sweeping Brush that suits Flue Diameter , clean the flue from the top down.
Remove soot/ash from the Firebox . This is recommended to be done Annually before each Winter .
Firebox:
Keep your stove clean by polishing all over with a soft cloth when unit is cool. In humid climates more interior firebox
corrosion will occur in non-use summer months than in winter. The stoves life can be greatly extended by cleaning the
firebox interior at the end of winter and spraying with Stovebright high temperature black paint.
14. Wetback (Wetbacks can NOT be fitted to Fires that are Installed in any area that falls under clean air
regulations, contact your local territorial authority for local compliance)
On special order a wetback model can be supplied. This unit acts as a hot water booster, producing about 2.5kW. The
wetback sits in the firebox . The inlet and outlet are at the fire back and require standard 25mm pipe connections to the
threaded brass pipe of the wetback. Inlet and outlet pipes are at the same height permitting flow of water in either direction
but need to be correctly connected by the plumber.
