The Contemporary by Blaze King Owners Installation and Operation Manual
The convection fan speed control is located on the back of the unit. Turning the control knob all
the way counterclockwise will turn off the convection fan. Adjust the blower to the desired speed.
NOTE: The fan will turn on once the unit has reached operating temperature. This prevents
the discharge of cold air.
FIREBOX: You may hear some cracking or ticking sounds on start-up and shut-down. This is due
to the expansion and contraction of the steel in the firebox.
BLOWER: We use high efficiency fans in our appliances. You may hear a whirring sound when
the fan turns on. This will decrease or increase depending on the speed setting of the fan.
PILOT FLAME: You may detect a very slight whisper sound from the pilot when it is turned on.
These are all normal sounds associated with this type of appliance and should not be
considered as defects.
Operating Instructions
One of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as a white film on the ceramic glass of the
viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may have
the problem for a time and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur
content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem.
Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case.
Ensure the stove is completely cooled before any glass service work is attempted.
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a long period of time build up will bake on. It is then
much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect of lessening the strength of the
glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most paper towels and synthetic materials
are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee the results of these products.
a) BRASSO b) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
c) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO d) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control and is
not covered under warranty.
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process. Under normal conditions this moisture is
expelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any harm. In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any
exposed surface it comes into contact with. This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with direct vent wall
terminations as the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot
be controlled by the manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending the vent
out from the wall may present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is the homeowners responsibility to ensure that
there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR
EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally — Poor flame pattern, shutting down, etc., this could be an indication of ice build up.
