SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Most building regulatory Authorities in Australia require any wood heater installation to
comply with Installation Standard AS/NZS 2918:2001. Different states and councils may have
varying regulations. Check local building regulations before installing the appliance.

All Blaze wood heaters have been tested to ensure that they will meet the appropriate
safety Standard requirements if the instructions in this manual are followed. As the safety
and emissions performance can be affected by altering the appliance, no modifications are
allowed without written permission from the manufacturer.

WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR NECTRE WOOD HEATER BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE SYSTEM SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING
CODE OR CODES.

WARNING: APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4012 & AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY
THE REGUALTORY AUTHORITY, I.E. THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE IDENTIFIABLE BY A
COMPLIANCE PLATE WITH THE MARKING ‘TESTED TO AS/NZS 4012 & AS/NZS 4013’.

ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY
THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4012 & AS/NZS 4013.

CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT
SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY RESULT
IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER
SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

CAUTION: CRACKED AND BROKEN COMPONENTS, EG. GLASS PANELS OR CERAMIC TILES,
MAY RENDER THE INSTALLATION UNSAFE.

Pecan Engineering Pty Ltd accept no liability whatsoever for interpretation of AS/NZS
2918:2001.
