2. ASSEMBLING THE HEATER
ThisBlazeheaterwillarriveintwoparts,therebox
body and the base unit representing the B600/
B900 or the B605/B905.
2.1. B600/B900
Thereboxbodyhasfourlocatingpinsonthe
bottom. Place the body on to the base so that the
pins fall into the four holes in the base unit. There
is a small amount of movement between the pins
and the holes, adjust the body so that it is lined up
vertically with the base unit.
A black toughened glass panel will be wrapped
with the base unit. Unwrap it, position on the base
of the unit, lined up with the sides of the base and
pushed up against the rear wall of the base unit.
(refer to section “11. Installing the Glass Panels” for
more detail).
Connect the power lead from the rear of the
heater to a power point for the fan to work.
2.2. B605/B905
WiththeB605/B905models,thereboxbodycan
be located in one of three positions on the base
unit-inthecentre,ontheleft,orontherightside
of the base.
Thereboxbodyhasfourlocatingpinsonthe
bottom. Place the body on to the base so that the
pins fall into the four holes in the base unit. There
is a small amount of movement between the pins
and the holes, adjust the body so that it is lined up
vertically with the base unit.
Thedefaultassumesthereboxwillbepositioned
in the centre. If wanting to install the heater with
thereboxontheleftortherightsideofthebase,
the fan will need to be relocated to line up with
thelocationoftherebox,aswellasrelocating
the blanking plates. Depending on which side, the
fan controller box may also need to be relocated.
To relocate the fan, refer to section “9. Relocating
the Fan Assembly” for details.
To relocate the blanking plates, refer to section
“10. Relocating the Blanking Plates” for details.
Tottheglasspanelsontopofthebase,referto
section “11. Installing the Glass Panels” for details.
3. INSTALLING THE HEATER
3.1. POSITIONING THE HEATER
First review the necessary minimum clearances
speciedonthefollowingpagebefore
considering where to position the heater. These
clearances can be greater if desired.
The heater can be installed with a choice of three
differentuecongurations.Clearancesspecic
to each are listed in the associated tables. Also
checkthepracticabilityofinstallingtheue
system in relation to any obstructing roof beams
before positioning the heater.
These clearance distances can only be
reduced if the surrounding walls are made of
non-combustiblematerial,e.g.stone,brick,or
concrete. In this circumstance, distance can be
reduced to 100 mm. Alternatively, shielding of
the wall(s) can reduce clearances (refer to next
section for more detail).

3.2. FLOOR PROTECTOR (HEARTH)
Unless the heater will be standing on a heat
resistantoorsuchasconcreteslabwithslate
ortiles,itwillbenecessarytoprovideaoor
protector (hearth).
The dimensions given on the previous pages
(“3.1. Positioning the Heater”) are the minimum
requiredfortheoorprotectortoextendbeyond
thereboxdooropening.Itmustextendnoless
than 300mm in front of the door opening, no less
than 200mm either side of the door opening, and
extend under the heater.

It may be desirable, e.g. for aesthetic reasons,
fortheoorprotectortobelargerthanthese
minimum dimensions.
Theoorprotectormustbeconstructedofnon-
combustible material no less than 7.5mm thick
and with a thermal conductivity not greater than
0.33W/m °K, e.g. compressed cement sheet.
Theoorprotectormaybelaiddirectlyonthe
combustibleoor.
Formoredetailsandvariationsonoorprotectors
refer to AS/NZS 2918:2018 Clause 2.2, 3.3.1, & 3.3.2.

4. REDUCING CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
If it is necessary to install a heater closer to a
combustible surface than the stated requirements
in Section 3 of this Installation Guide, it must be
done in accordance with Australian Standard AS/
NZS 2918:2018 Section 3, Tables 3.1 & 3.2.
Shield Construction: The shield shall be
constructed from a heat resistant material. The
shieldmustbexedtothesurfacethatrequires
protection and NOT the heater.
The Standard allows three options to reduce
stated clearances.
Single layer of continuous material with Minimum
Air Gap of 12mm—Clearance Factor = 0.40
Single layer of continuous material with Minimum
Air Gap of 25mm—Clearance Factor = 0.30
Two spaced layers of continuous material with
Minimum Air Gaps of 12mm + 12mm—Clearance
Factor = 0.20
The shielding must be open at the top and bottom
(vented)toallowacontinuousairow.Itisthisair
owthatkeepsthesurfacerequiringprotection
cool.Fixingsshouldnotimpedethisairow.
The shielding needs to go far enough along and
up the wall so that the original side and rear
required clearances are not compromised. As the
ueisnowclosertothewalltheshieldingshould
alsoprotectthewallfromtheuepipe.
For example:
Side wall clearance for the B600 is 425 mm.
A 12mm gapped shield on the wall with a factor
of 0.40.
Calculate:-425mmx0.40=170mm.Thisisthe
new side wall minimum clearance.
The shielding needs to be large enough so that
none of the original clearances of 425 mm are
compromised.
5. INSTALLING THE FLUE
Theuesystemusedwheninstallingtheheater
MUST comply with the current installation standard
AS/NZS 2918.
Fullinstructionsontheinstallationoftheuewillbe
suppliedwiththeuekit.TheseMUSTbefollowed
closely, including the minimum exit height from
thetopoftheoorprotectorbeingnotlessthan
4.6m, and the minimum exit height above the roof
line of roof ridge as detailed in the instructions.
Theuemustbettedwithoneofthefollowing:
1. Rear Flue Shield:
a. 900 mm long, minimum 160° arc,
stainlesssteelpaintedblackrearue
shield with 25mm gap between it and
the150mmdiameteractiveue,and
25mm above the top of the heater.
2. Decro-mesh/SolidFlueShield:
Note: MUST be installed with the manufacturer’s
490mmtallinnerueshieldANDventilateddecro-
mesh locating ring.
a. A full length, half radius perforated
decro-meshueshieldextending
from the heater through into the drop
box penetrating the ceiling with the
perforated surface facing the front,
ORequivalentinsolidouterueshield
casing (7.75” diameter)
b. The 490 mm half round stainless steel
innerreectorsuppliedwithheater
mustbettedinsidethedecro-mesh
orsolidouterueshield.
c. Themanufacturer’sdecro-mesh
‘locating ring’ must be used to
supporttheueshieldingandinner
shield up off the heater top. It is
important that air can be drawn
intothebaseandrearoftheue
shielding.
