Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a genuine Scandia Wood heater. When cared for properly,
these high quality, finely crafted wood heaters will offer many years of reliable performance.
This instruction manual has been developed to ensure optimum performance from your
Scandia wood heater. It's very important that you thoroughly read and understand all
instructions before using your new wood heater.
Check Local Council Requirements Eg. permits
When installing, operating and maintaining your wood heater, follow the guidelines
presented in these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or servicing the
wood heater. Your city, town, state or territory may require a building permit to install a
solid fuel burning appliance.
Always consult your local building inspector or local council to determine what regulations
apply in your area.
Your wood heater must be installed by a qualified person whose work
conforms with local council regulations, Australian standards & manufacturers
recommendations. Failure to do so will void your warranty and could possibly
void any home insurance.
