INSTALLATION
SEISMIC RESTRAINTS MERIDIAN BASE INSTALLATION
Place the appliance on top of the meridian base. Make sure to align the front and side edges of the appliance to the meridian base.
Use the supplied bolts and washers, then tighten, this will hold the appliance in place.
Position the appliance and meridian base assembly to the desired position. Make sure the flue hole is in the desired position. Use the existing holes at the bottom of the meridian base to drill the holes for m8-m10 dyna bolts.
Use the preferred dyna bolt size and affix the appliance and meridian base assembly to the floor. When both dyna bolts are tightened the installation is complete.
SEISMIC RESTRAINTS TABLE INSTALLATION
Place the back of the appliance to the back edge of the cube table. Make sure the appliance is centred from the left and right.
Remove the fan box and back assembly by moving it towards the top. The assembly only needs to move by approximately 10-15mm. Then pull the back assembly away from the appliance. Unplug any electrical connectors or wires.
Locate the holes in the appliance base as indicated.
Use tek screws and attach the appliance by using the pilot holes.
Use the supplied angle brackets and fix them to the bottom and back edge of the table. Use tek screws for this on both sides
Finally, fix the whole assembly to the floor using M8-m10 dyna bolts. This will complete the installation.
AIR GAP DETAIL
NOTE:- When installing this unit onto a table, make sure to leave the 4x bolts in place. The bolts are necessary to allow air flow to the underside of the firebox. The removal of these bolts will lead to overheating to the underside of the unit and eventually cause malfunction. The removal of these bolts could void your warranty.
There must be an air gap between the bottom of the appliance and the top of a table. This is necessary to allow air flow to the appliance.
The bolts will need to be removed when the appliance is installed onto a meridian base. However, the same bolts must be used to fix appliance to the meridian base.

Operating Instructions
Congratulations on the purchase of your Australian made Kemlan slow combustion
wood fireplace.
We hope this serves you well, not just as a stunning feature; but as a
functional tool for heating your home and keeping you and your family warm
however cold the winters may get, because this is what Kemlan specialises in
and has perfected, making fires in Brisbane QLD since 1969, ‘Australian made
for Australian conditions’.
Welcome to the Kemlan family.
I would like to share with you the correct way to operate your Kemlan wood
fire giving best results for both heating and useability.
Let’s get started:
The First Burns
- Unfortunately, we have no control over how the fire is loaded nor do we have any control over what quality of fuel / timber is used, therefore we can only give recommendations, and this will be the difference in heat output and length of burn.
- Hard wood should always be used as the main fuel source in all Kemlan wood heaters at a moisture level of between 12% – 20% (always have a moisture meter).
- If the timber is too dry it will burn faster, if the timber is too wet it will struggle to burn at all and give very little heat.
- The first few burns in a wood fire are commonly referred to as ‘curing burns’, this is when you are getting heat into the appliances steel and paint for the first time.
What we are trying to achieve here is 3-fold:
-
The first goal it to get heat into the white ceramic baffles and the steel flue system, getting these 2 things hot will create the ‘draw’ of the fireplace this is the process in which the smoke is drawn out of the fireplace chamber through the flue system.
-
The second goal is to lay a bed of ash in the base of the fire, ash in the bottom of the fire is essential to the performance of the fireplace, the optimal thickness of ash is 2-3 Inches (25mm – 75mm).
-
Having this of ash will assist the fuel to light easier creating an air layer under the timber, it will also assist in a longer hotter burn as the ash holds a large amount of the heat while the timber above is burning. So DO NOT clean your ash out until you have to, you should never see the firebricks in the
base Of your fire. -
The third goal of the initial burns is to cure the paint on the fireplace casing, Kemlan fires are painted with a high temperature paint. When first applied at our factory, the paint is very soft, we place all finished fireplaces under heat lamps to start the •curing’ process but because of the time it takes and the temperature the casing needs to stay at to complete this process we need YOU to finish this cure in your home by lighting your new fire! so, let’s do
Building your fire
- Whether you have purchased a small, medium or large chamber fireplace the set-up is the same.
- Kemlan introduce more primary air into the chamber of the fireplace than most other brands on the market, this makes it very easy to light the fire from a cold start, it also makes it easy for you the user Of the fireplace to load the paper or firelighters, kindling (small pieces Of soft wood) and hard wood into the chamber straight away.
- Your goal should be to fill the fireplace chamber front to back, sided to side to make sure heat is evenly distributed throughout the entire firebox.
- We don’t want to have to keep tending to the fireplace slowly adding pieces Of timber and constantly opening the door, one full load of timber is far better.
- Scan the QR code below to access the ‘How to stack and light your Kemlan wood fire’ video.
- Please take some time to watch to see if your process is the same.
- Now your Kemlan fire is up and running make sure to keep the primary air slide fully open, this will ensure maximum oxygen is getting to the fuel and this will create quicker heat into the fireplace box, baffle, flue and of course your home.
- The air slide can move from extreme left (fully open) to extreme right (fully closed).
- Think of this slide like an accelerator and brake on a car. Fully open would be putting your foot down on your car’s accelerator, fully closed is like putting the breaks on in the car.
- When we want energy into the room (KW) we want the slide open, as the room gets to the desired temperature the air slide can be moved towards the right-hand side reducing the air to the chamber slowing the energy output and fuel consumption.
- The air slide should only be moved half to % of the way across while you can still tend to the fire, closing it completely or starving the fire should only be done when you cannot tend to the fire for long periods of time (e.g. going to bed) when your only goal is for length of burn.
- Remember no matter whether it is a curing burn or an everyday use, heat is key, never light a small fire! A small fire in a large, chambered firebox will not produce any heat in the components of the fireplace or in your room. Choose the fire that best suits your living and heating requirements.
Reloading your Kemlan fire —
- When it is time to add timber to your fireplace firstly make sure the underside of your white baffles is actually white, if they are still black this will mean the hardwood has not fully caught alight. If this is the case wait, you will notice as the fire heats up and your seasoned hardwood is fully lit the baffle plates will return to there original white condition, this means the fire drawing correctly through the flue system and burning cleanly with the secondary air in full swing.
- You can now open the air slide fully, crack the door slightly allowing the air pressure to equal then carefully fully open the door.
- Have the timber you are going to load in the chamber ready to immediately reload, be prepared, don’t open the door and then go looking for the optimal pieces of timber, the longer you wait the colder the chamber will get and the higher the chance Of smoke coming back into the room.
Overnight burns
- All medium and large size Kemlan fireplaces have what is called an ‘overnight burn’ but what does this mean??
- Like we have touched on above, the air slide should only be shut down fully when you want extended length of burn, as soon as you starve the firebox of air the fire will burn dirtier and heat output will be greatly reduced, in some instances the glass will blacken due to the lack of air movement inside the chamber. The black creosote will burn off the glass when the fires air control is back up to high with a new load Of timber.
- Generally, a Kemlan medium to large chamber will burn between 8 – 12 hours depending on the quality Of fuel/timber and how full you stack the chamber. For maximum burn time you would fill the chamber up to 50mm below the secondary air tubes underneath the white baffle plate. The larger the pieces of timber the better!
- After the 8-12 hours you should still have glowing embers in the base of the fire, a small amount of kindling and medium size pieces Of hardwood can then be re-loaded making sure the air control has been moved back to ‘full left’ introducing maximum primary air again.
- If you follow these simple steps, you will find your Kemlan fireplace is one of the best investments you have made to your home.
- From everyone in Kemlan we thank you for your business and wish you a lifetime of warmth and enjoyment.
