GENERAL INFORMATION & OPERATION cont..
6. Heat Output
A maximum heat output of approximately 10 - 12Kw can be expected with dry wood, with medium air control setting output of 6 - 8Kw
and with fully closed the heat output is approximately 3 –4Kw. . The height of the flue system can have an effect on the draw, control and
burn periods of the fire.
The stove will heat an area of approximately 90 - 110 sq meters of 2.4 meter stud height.
NOTE : The condition, moisture content and type of wood burned will have a direct result on the performance of the fire.
7. Construction
The firebox is constructed from 6mm steel plate with some fairings made from 1.6mm steel. The outer skin and tray are constructed from
3mm and 1.6mm steel plate. The unit has a cast steel door and 5mm Robax glass.
8. Finish
High temperature steel parts are finished with a matt black high temperature paint designed to withstand the rigors of nor-
mal 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 and Clean Air Approval
The Studio Oven has been tested and approved to ASNZS 2918: 2001 specifications for solid fuel burning heaters .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. The fire requires a Warmington Test-
ed and approved flue system only, as tested to ASNZS : 2918. 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.
12. Floor Protection
Floor protectors are normally designed to suit each individual “setting”. The installation and construction of the floor protec-
tor must comply with ASNZS : 2918. The fire requires a (Insulating Floor Protector) as needed for some types of wood
burners.
13. Maintenance
The operation, components and general condition of the fire and flue system need to be checked annually, or more
frequently if required. Repair or replace parts when necessary. For more information, contact your local Retailer.
The chimney, firebox and fire ducts are to be cleaned and swept annually or more frequently if required.
Note:
For cleaning and maintenance of the damper handle rod see page 6 for applying high temp grease etc.
Chimney Maintenance:
To clean chimney, remove cowl assembly from the top of the flue system, and the baffle system inside the top of the
firebox. Make sure the door is closed on the firebox and push the oven damper control back to open, to ensure the
soot can fall into the top firebox. Use a chimney sweeping brush to suit flue diameter, and clean the flue from the top
down. Remove soot/ash from the firebox and fire ducts (see instructions in this document).
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
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.
Note: Not all fires have the provision for a Wet Back.
