1.3. WOOD STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Warning: the Blaze B700 features a storage area
for a small amount of firewood. Do not overload
this compartment - ensure that there is at least a
10mm gap to the ceiling of the unit.
1.4. FAN
The fan can be used to spread heat around the
room quicker, as well as distribute heat into other
rooms. It does not have to be on if not required.
Plug the lead from the rear of the heater into a
power-point. If desired, the power lead can be
re-routed to exit from the opposite side of the
heater.
A remote control supplied with the heater is used
to turn the fan on and determine the chosen
speed.
If the radio frequency used by the remote control
interferes with other frequencies in the home
such as wireless internet or child monitors refer
to “8. Change Fan Controller Frequency” in the
Maintenance & Servicing section for details on
changing the frequency.
2. USING APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME
The first few times the appliance is lit, it will give off
some odorous fumes. This is caused by the paint
curing.
Do not touch the paint work while it is curing
otherwise it can leave a permanent mark on the
appliance.
Once the paint has cured it will not re-occur.
Keep the room well ventilated until these fumes
have cleared.
3. RECOMMENDED FUELS
Burn only seasoned hardwood timber with a
moisture content of less than 20%. Newly cut
wood should be allowed to dry/season for 12 to
18 months before use.
Wood should be stored in an environment
protected from the weather to minimise any
potential moisture content.
For best results, wood should not exceed 270mm
in length and 150mm in diameter. Any larger, and
the appliance will not operate at its optimum. It is
better to burn several smaller pieces of wood than
one large single piece.
Poor quality timber:
●
Causes low combustion efficiency
●
Produces poor emissions (smoky)
●
Results in additional buildup of creosote
(soot) in the flue which will then require
regular cleaning and may result in a flue fire.
Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,
manufactured board products or pallet wood.
