Air Controls
The Blaze B600/B900 and B605/B905 range wood heaters
feature a single air control system. It is designed to introduce
oxygen into the base of the fire controlling the rate of
combustion of the wood as well as oxygen being drawn into
the upper firebox where combustion of the gases occurs.
The air control is operated by sliding the stainless steel
cylindrical handle located on the top left side of the heater.
Pulled all the way out offers maximum burn rate, while
pushed all the way in offers minimum burn rate.
Secondary air holes in the rear of the firebox provide
additional oxygen for a more complete combustion of the
gases released from the burning wood.
Door Handle
Warning: the door handle may get hot if appliance has been
left in High burn setting for an extended period of time. A
stainless steel handle extension is supplied with the heater
that can be inserted in the end of the door handle when
opening and closing if too hot to handle.
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.
B600 & B900 models have an override switch on the rear
panel next to where the power lead exists the heater base.
This must be switched on for the fan to run.
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 monitor refer to “11. Change Fan Controller
Frequency” in the Maintenance & Servicing section for details
on changing the frequency.
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.
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 diameter. Any larger and 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:
o
Causes low combustion efficiency
o
Produces poor emissions (smokey)
o
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.
Place firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood in the
base of the firebox.
Light the paper or firelighters.
Open the air control located on the top left corner of
the appliance by pulling out from the appliance.
If necessary, leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes and the glass warms to avoid the build-up of
condensation.
