OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Your JETMASTER fireplace is designed not to smoke and by following a few instructions
you will achieve optimum heat output, convenience and fuel economy.
Please note that the first fire could result in a few odours coming from the firebox.
Do not be alarmed. This is not unusual when first using a metal finished product and
will soon cease.
LIGHTING A FIRE
1. Using a number of crumpled sheets of newspaper, some kindling and a few small
split logs arrange your fire in a “Teepee tent” style.
2. With the tool provided, fully open the DAMPER by pulling the control lever towards
you. (Not always applicable with Double Sided Firebox.)
3. Light the fire at both ends as well as at the centre.
4. When the kindling and small split logs are burning well, start to build up your fire
with larger split logs.
5. When the fire is well established you can start closing the Damper. The amount
you can close it will depend on the type of wood used and the general weather
conditions. Experience will soon show you how far; however, the damper should
never be closed more than half way.
6. When the fire has gone out completely, you can close the Damper fully thus
preventing any loss of heat from the room up the chimney.
CLEANING
1. The Jetmaster Log Pan is designed to give greater heat and fuel efficiency. For the
duration of the cold season the Log Pan should never be emptied. The resulting
bed of ash and coals from previous fires will soon become a heatbank generating
more heat than the burning logs. This ashbed also insulates and greatly extends
the life of the Log Pan. This is why an ashbed must be maintained at all times.
When the level of the ashbed becomes too high, the top layer can be removed.
Depending on frequency of use and quality of wood, this skimming procedure
should not be required more than once or twice a Season!
2. To prevent chimney fires as well as enabling the chimney to draw properly, the
chimney/flue should be swept at least once a season, subject to the quality of
timber used in the fire.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR
IRONBARK, STANDARD COAL, TOPAZ & DELUXE LOGS & COALS
Put manometer onto test nipple on regulator and adjust regulator to 1 kpa with burner on
high.
PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR
SUPERCOAL
- Test point for outlet pressure is located on the on the left of the gas valve.
- Adjust to pressure stated on compliance plate.
- Check unit on low setting.
SUMMARY TAKEN FROM THE GAS INSTALLATIONS
AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS
AS5601-2002 AG601-2002
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A SUMMARY ONLY. THE GAS FITTER MUST REFER TO
THE GAS INSTALLATIONS AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS IN DETAIL.
Appendix F Sizing Consumer Piping
- New Consumer Piping Systems
When sizing a new consumer piping system, consideration should be given to
foreseeable future needs.
- Existing Consumer Piping Systems
When an additional appliance is to be connected to an existing consumer piping
system, the existing piping, metre and regulator should be checked to ensure that
adequate capacity is available for the additional load.
- Information Required Prior To Pipe Sizing
The following information is required prior to pipe sizing:
a. The type of gas, including the heating value and relative density.
b. The gas consumption of each appliance.
c. An allowance, if any, where there is a probability that not all appliances will be
used at the same time.
d. The pressure available at the start of the consumer piping.
e. The allowable pressure drop shall be such as to ensure that at least the
minimum inlet pressure required by the appliance is available at the appliance.
f. The proposed layout of the consumer piping system including all pipe lengths
and the location of each appliance.
NOTE: See tables in this appendix
