1. INTRODUCTION

Before use of this appliance please read these

instructions fully.

WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE

THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE

TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING

AS/NZS 4013.

WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR

AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.

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 BEFORE OPENING

DOOR.

WARNING: DO NOT BURN WOOD THAT IS PAINTED;

OR IS COATED WITH PLASTIC; OR HAS BEEN TREATED

WITH ANY CHEMICAL.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE

OPERATED WITH CRACKED GLASS.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE

WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Theapplianceoruesystemshouldnotbe

modiedinanywaywithoutthewrittenapproval

of the manufacturer.

Extraction fans or rangehoods must not be placed

in the same room or space, as this can cause

appliance to emit smoke into the room.

1.1. AIR CONTROL

The Blaze B500 and B800 wood heaters feature

a single air control system. It is designed to

introduceoxygenintothebaseofthere,

controlling the rate of combustion of the wood

as well as the oxygen being drawn into the upper

rebox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rebox

provide additional oxygen for a more complete

combustion of the gases released from the

burning wood.

1.2. DOOR HANDLE

Warning: the door handle may get hot if

appliance has been left in High burn setting for an

extended period of time. Use the supplied door

handle extension or a protective glove to open.

Open the air slide before opening the door to

eliminate the chance of backdraft and smoke

entering the room.

1.3. 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. There is a three speed switch on the

right hand side of the base.

2. USING APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST

TIME

The power cable for the Blaze B500 and B800

may be bundled in the rear of the unit for

transportation. Ensure that the cable is pulled

clear from the heater before lighting.

Therst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efciency

●Produces poor emissions (smoky)

●Results in additional buildup of creosote

(soot)intheuewhichwillthenrequire

regularcleaningandmayresultinauere.

Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,

manufactured board products or pallet wood.

4. LIGHTING THE FIRE

1. Placerelightersorpaperanddrykindling

woodinthebaseoftherebox.

2. Lightthepaperorrelighters.

3. Open the air control located on the top left

corner of the appliance by pulling out from

the appliance.

4. If necessary, leave the door slightly open as

thereestablishesandtheglasswarmsto

avoid the build-up of condensation.

5. Add larger pieces of wood. Too many logs

maysmotherthere.

6. Close the door.

Do not leave re unattended while door is open.

5. RUNNING THE APPLIANCE

5.1. MAXIMUM HEAT OUTPUT

Afterestablishingthere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reboxwithfuel.

Note that this setting is not the most energy

efcientassomeheatislostuptheueinsteadof

being transferred into the room. However, once

thereisestablished,particulateemissionswillbe

very low in this setting.

Tofurthermaximiseheatoutput,oncetherebox

is hot, turn the fan on to the high speed setting to

spread the heat around the room.

5.2. 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reandslowdownthe

rate at which the wood burns.

Thissettingprovidesthebestenergyefciency

as the wood burns for longer. However, if not

operated correctly it may worsen emissions.

Priortoclosingtheairslide,ensurethatthere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efciency,fromthefullyclosed

position, open the air slide 4-5mm.

The air slide can be adjusted to any position

depending on desired heat output versus burn

time.

Fan may be turned to low speed setting or off if

theheaterisputtingoutsufcientheatwithoutthe

fan on.

5.3. 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 oriented

front to back.

4. Better results will be achieved by loading

several smaller pieces of wood rather than

one large piece.

5. Close door with air slide fully open, and

leave for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow

the fresh wood to catch.

6. After 10 or more minutes, the air slide can

be adjusted to desired heat setting.

6. BURNING TIPS

6.1. 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:

●Difcultystartingandkeepingareburning

well.

●Smokeandonlysmallames.

●Dirtyglassand/orrebricks.

●Rapidcreosotebuild-upintheue/chimney.

●Low heat output.

●Short burn times, and blue/grey smoke from

theue/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ue.

6.2. FLUE DRAUGHT

Theuehastwomainfunctions:

1. To safely remove smoke, gases and fumes

from the appliance.

2. Toprovideasufcientamountofdraught

(suction)intheappliancetoensurethere

keeps burning.

Draughtiscausedbytherisinghotairintheue

whentherehasbeenlit.

Theposition,heightandsizeoftheuecanaffect

theperformanceoftheuedraught.Referto

installationguidefordetailsonueinstallation.

Factorsaffectingtheuedraughtinclude:

●Insufcientueheight

●Trees or other buildings nearby causing

turbulence

●High and gusty winds

●Outside temperature and weather

conditions

●Blockedue

Foradviceonthecorrectionofpersistentue

problems consult your supplier/installer.

7. ASH REMOVAL

Depending on the type of wood burnt and

frequency, the ashes will need removing every 2

to 6 weeks.

Excess ashes should be removed when necessary,

placed in a non-combustible container with a

tightlyttinglidandmovedoutdoorsimmediately

to a location clear of combustible materials.

8. FLUE/CHIMNEY FIRE

Ifaue/chimneyreoccurs:

●Shutairslidecontrolfullytosmotherthere

●Donotusetheapplianceafterauere

until an accredited installer has assessed the

cause and any resultant damage.

9. CLEANING PAINTWORK AND GLASS

The appliance, when cool, can be cleaned with a

damp cloth.

Over the years, the black paint will fade and can

be touched up with Stove Bright metallic black

paint.

To clean the glass, we recommend using a

household window cleaner or general purpose

cleaner with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive

cleaner or scourer pads.

10. CLEANING THE FLUE

Checkinsideofuepriortoeachseasonforany

build-up of creosote (wood tar). To do this:

1. Firstremovethebafe(referto“3.

ReplacementofBafePlate” under

Maintenance & Servicing section).

2. Using a small mirror and torch hold the mirror

onananglebelowtheuewiththetorch

shining at it and look for black creosote

build-up.Aneblackpowderylayeris

normal, but if built up layers of creosote can

beseen,thentheueneedscleaning.

3. Retthebafeifnocleaningisrequired.

Tocleantheue:

1. Auecleaningbrushcanbepurchased

from most wood heater retail outlets or

large hardware stores.

2. The objective is to pull the brush down

throughtheue.

3. Withthebaferemoved,tiearopetoone

end of the brush, and drop the rope from

the top (outside on top of the roof) down

theue.

4. Grabtheendoftheropeinsidetherebox

and pull the brush through.

5. Checktheinsideoftheuewiththemirror

and torch. Repeat if necessary.

6. Once clean, remove any excess creosote

fromthereboxandreplacethebafe.

Checkueintegritybycheckingthatthe900mm

uesectionshavenotseparatedatthejoins.

Alternatively,getauecleaningservicetodothe

job for you (it’s a dirty job).

11. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

11.1. GLASS IN DOOR BLACKENING

This can have several possible causes:

●Burning unseasoned wood — if the wood is

too wet, it will cause the glass to blacken.

●Appliance operated at low temperature —

after an overnight burn where the air slide

control has been fully closed, the glass may

haveblackened.Whenthereisre-stoked

and burning on the high heat setting, the

blackened glass should self-clean.

●Problemswiththeue—insufcientue

draught can cause the glass to blacken.

Iftheueistooshort,notproperly

insulated, or in a position that results in a

downdraught,thentherewillbeinsufcient

uedraught.Contacttheinstallershould

this happen.

11.2. TROUBLE STARTING THE FIRE

Ifallashhasbeenremovedfromtherebox,it

canupsetthesupplyofairtothebaseofthere.

Whencleaningouttherebox,retainingsomeash

canmakeiteasiertostarttherenexttime.

11.3. BURNING TOO QUICKLY

Ifyoundthattheheaterisburningthroughwood

too quickly, see below:

1. Latchneedsadjustment(referto“8.Door

HandleAdjustment”intheMaintenance

and Servicing section)

2. Doorsealneedsreplacing(referto”7.Fitting

aNewDoorSeal”intheMaintenanceand

Servicing section)

3. Bafeneedsreplacing(referto“3.

ReplacementofBafePlate”inthe

Maintenance and Servicing section)

Maintenance and Servicing

1. REPLACEMENT OF FIRE BRICKS

Thepurposeoftherebricksintheappliance

is to increase thermal mass and to guarantee

thelongevityofthesteelrebox.Overtimethe

rebricksmaybecomecrackedandcrumble

away. If so, they should be replaced.

Toreplacetherebricks:

1. Move any ash away from the bricks.

2. Remove the brick retainer and the bricks.

3. Replacewithnewbricks,andretthe

retainer which holds the bricks in place.

2. REPLACING THE ASH PLATE

Theashplateprotectsthefrontoftherebox

belowthedoorfromthehotcoalbedandre.

Over time the ash plate may burn through, in

which case it should be replaced to ensure the

longevityoftherebox.

Clear ash away from the base of the ash plate.

Remove the old ash plate and replace with a new

one. When positioning the new ash plate, ensure

thatthefronttopedgeisushagainsttheinside

edgeofthereboxbeneaththedooropening.

3. REPLACEMENT OF BAFFLE PLATE

Thesteelbafehelpstoretaintheheatinthe

reboxbylengtheningthepathoftheamesso

thattheydonotgostraightuptheue.

Overtime,thebafewillbegintosagalittledue

to the excessive heat. This will not affect the way

thereburns.

Eventuallythebafewillburnthrough(5+years)

and if so will need to be replaced.

Toremovethebafe:

1. Removebricksfromrebox.Liftthebafe

up at the back enough to clear the rear

support pegs.

2. Slidethebafeforwardsuntilclearofthe

rear support pins.

3. Lowertherearofthebafeandslideback

past the front support pins.

4. Oncethefrontisclear,thebafecanbe

removedfromtherebox.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 in reverse to replace

withthenewbafe.Replacebricks.
