Page 2: Installation
Keep this booklet as a reference guide. Installation of Fisher Wood Heater Fisher recommends you use a qualified solid fuel heater installer or a registered plumber to install your fire. Your dealer or heating specialist will be able to help with recommendations as well as advise on permits/consents required for the installation in your area. - Page 3 8 Install the flue system (see flue installation instructions supplied with flue system). Remember: • The flue system should rise vertically from the appliance with as few offsets as possible. Offsets should be avoided where possible as each change in direction creates a resistance to airflow and makes flue cleaning difficult.
- Page 4 CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AN/NZS 4013. 3. PLEASE ENSURE THAT ONLY COMPONENTS APPROVED BY FISHER ARE USED FOR THE INSTALLATION as substitutes may adversely affect performance and might nullify compliance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918.
- Page 5 Correct Operation of Your Fisher Solid Fuel Heater Simply by burning your Fisher heater correctly, you can improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and minimise air pollution. STARTING A NEW FIRE Please note: If lighting the heater for the first time dust heater, glass, trim and flue before firing to avoid particles sticking or discolouring.
- Page 6 Try to avoid smothering the fire with the new pieces. Placing the pieces on the burning kindling can help prevent smothering. As your Fisher heater is a radiant heater it requires approximately 45-60 minutes to preheat the steel firebox before it can effectively radiate heat into the room.
- Page 7 (see above) Small and Large Fuel Load Geometry Fire in cycles: Don't expect perfectly steady heat output from your Fisher heater. Solid fuel heaters burn in cycles. A cycle is the time between the ignition of a load from charcoal and the consumption of the load back to a coal bed.
- Page 8 The long-burning fire: To achieve a long burning fire, rake the embers evenly, as with the small hot fire, and use larger and more pieces of wood. Place the pieces in a similar pattern to the small hot fire, using more pieces and larger pieces (especially the top layer).
- Page 9 To prevent this extreme negative pressure, one option is to open a window slightly to allow combustion air into the room. Improper heater firing technique: When a solid fuel heater is starved for air it smoulders, producing a relatively cool, smoky fire. The temperatures throughout the system are low.
- Page 10 Maximum log length varies according to model. BURNING COAL Due to their construction, the burning of coal in the Fisher Blenheim Clean Air heater is prohibited. Please also refer to ‘Exclusions’ in the Warranty Page 14.
- Page 11 General maintenance checks should include the following:- ASH REMOVAL - Due to the high efficiency of your Fisher heater, ash removal should only be necessary every few weeks. Ashes can be removed easily through the fire door when the fire is at its lowest, such as first thing in the morning, or when it is completely out.
