CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR JAYLINE WOOD FIRE
Simply by burning your Jayline fi re correctly, you can improve effi ciency, reduce fuel consumption and
minimise air pollution.
STARTING A NEW FIRE
Please note:
If lighting the fi re for the fi rst time, dust fi re, glass, trim and fl ue before fi ring to avoid particles
sticking or discolouring. Once fi red, some smoke and vapour will be released as the VHT painted surfaces
enter the fi nal curing process. Open all windows and doors while running the fi re on high for up to 3 hours.
People with respiratory, heart or other relevant medical conditions should avoid inhaling vapours during the
curing process. All VHT paint will cure at the highest temperature achieved and will produce smoke again if
this temperature is exceeded.
To start and maintain a good fi re you will need the following ingredients:
1. A small quantity of newspaper (do not use coloured or coated paper);
2. A packet of fi relighters (optional)
3. A quantity of fi nely split, dry soft wood kindling in a variety of sizes; and
4. Seasoned fi rewood split into a range of piece sizes, to be loaded front to back.
The fi rst step is to crumple half a dozen sheets of
newspaper and put them just inside the fi rebox.
The amount of newspaper you need will depend on
the fi rebox size, and the dryness and fi neness of the
kindling you are using. The drier and fi ner the kindling,
the less newspaper you need. Many people make the
mistake of using too little newspaper. Be generous with
the newspaper and you will have more success. Putting
some fi relighter halves under the newspaper can also
help sustain fi rebox temperature until the wood is burning.
On top of the paper place 10 to 15 pieces of fi nely split,
dry kindling. Softwoods, such as cedar or pine, make
good kindling. Ideally, the kindling should be placed on
the newspaper so that the combustion air reaches the
newspaper fast where you ignite it. It is also a good idea
to add two or three very small pieces of fi rewood to the
kindling load before lighting.
TO BUILD A QUICK, HOT FIRE
Use plenty of crumpled newspaper
and dry, fi nely-split kindling. Set the air
control fully open. Light the newspaper
near where the combustion air enters
the fi rebox. When a kindling fi re is built
properly, you should expect fast ignition
and no smoldering.
