WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR
AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS
OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: WHEN OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE AS AN
OPEN FIRE USE A FIRE SCREEN.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN
FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITH
A CRACKED GLASS.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND
OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVETREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
The appliance or flue system should not be modified in any
way without the written approval of the manufacturer.

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.

4. LIGHTING THE FIRE
4
Add larger pieces of wood. Too many logs may smother
the fire.
Close the door.
Do not leave fire unattended while door is not closed.
Maximum Heat Output
After establishing the fire and loading it with larger
pieces of wood, leave it running with the air slide fully
open (pulled all the way out).
This setting will generate maximum heat output.
Running the appliance with the door open will not
produce maximum heating in the room as it will draw a
lot of already warmed air out of the room.
Do not overload firebox with fuel.
Note that this setting is not the most energy efficient as
some heat is lost up the flue instead of being
transferred into the room. However, once fire has
established, particulate emissions will be very low, i.e.
no smoke, which is good.
To further maximise heat output, once the firebox is hot
turn the fan on to the high speed setting to spread the
heat around the room.
Low Heat Output
The heat output of the appliance can be reduced by
closing the air slide which will restrict the oxygen
supplied to the fire and slow down the rate at which the
wood burns.
This setting will provide the best energy efficiency as
the wood burns for longer. However, if not operated
correctly may result in higher particulate emissions.
Prior to closing the air slide ensure that the fire is
burning briskly. This may require opening the air slide
fully for 5-10mins before shutting down.
For the optimum between clean burning, and getting
the best in efficiency, from the fully closed position,
open the air slide 4-5mm.
The air slide can be adjusted to any position so desired
depending on wanted heat output versus burn time.
Fan may be turned to low speed setting or off if the
heater is putting out sufficient heat without the fan on.
Reload with more wood
1) Open air slide before opening door.
2) Rake / break up any existing coals.
3) Load the wood with the length orientated front to back.
4) Better results will be achieved by loading several
smaller pieces of wood than one large piece.
5) Close door with air slide fully open, and leave for
minimum of 10 minutes to allow the fresh wood to
catch.
6) After 10 or more minutes, the air slide can be adjusted
to the desired heat output setting.
Fuel Quality
Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%. Logs
should not feel moist or damp, or have moss and fungal
growths.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well.
Smoke and only small flames.
Dirty glass and/or fire bricks.
Rapid creosote build-up in the flue/chimney.
Low heat output.
Short burn times, and blue/grey smoke from the
flue/chimney outlet.
Run appliance at high heat output for a short period each day
to avoid large build-up of tars and creosote within the
appliance and flue.
Flue Draught
The flue has two main functions:
1) To safely remove smoke, gases and fumes from the
appliance.
2) To provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in
the appliance to ensure the fire keeps burning.
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the flue when the fire
has been lit.
The position, height and size of the flue can affect the
performance of the flue draught. Refer to installation guide
for details on flue installation.
