Operating your Jindara Wood Heater
Cleaning the glass
Generally the only time you will possibly need to clean your glass is after a long overnight burn. If you find that you have
a wet sticky black film on your glass (creosote), it is better to burn the heater as normal for one load of wood. When the
wood has burnt down to a hot bed of embers, open the door and leave it wide open until the glass cools sufficiently to
be wiped with a damp cloth. This should clean all the white smoky film off the glass. Creosote on the glass is normally a
sign that you have tried to get too long an overnight burn or you have burnt excessively wet or green wood. If the film on
the glass won’t come off with a wet cloth, you can use wet ash from the ash bed as a cleaner or commercial products
such as Crystal Clear, Johnson Foam Clean or Windex.
Normal Operations
When you get up in the morning, open up the air control of the heater to high position to start the embers glowing. Place
some wood on top of the embers and leave the door open 25mm. Once the fuel starts to flame close the
door. As the heater starts to heat up turn the fan on to low, (approx 20 minutes) and begin reducing the air control
towards a lower setting.
You will find with the fan on low you will only need to run the heater between low and medium to maintain the
temperature you desire in your home. To obtain the maximum heat dissipation from the heater it is necessary to run the
fan at any time the heater is running above the low position.
For best results it is best to burn 290mm long wood and load your wood straight into the firebox front to rear. This will
give optimum efficiency and recoverable heat, and minimise creosote formation and smoke emissions.
Overnight burn
Approximately 30 minutes before turning the heater down to overnight burn it is recommended to load the heater with
fuel for the overnight burn. Leave the air control in the medium to high position. Let the heater run for about thirty
minutes. This will reduce the moisture content in the fuel before shut down. (This will help reduce the creosote formation
in the firebox and flue.) Set the air control to the setting you have found best for your requirements. Turn the fan off and
retire. The aim when overnight burning is to have only a few hot embers left in the bottom of the firebox in the morning,
not huge lumps of wood.
WARNING
!
Operation of the fan
If firebox failure is reported and it is found that the firebox has been abused
through improper use of the fan, Jindara reserve the right to disallow any
warranty claims in relation to firebox failure.
WARNING
!
The Door
Leaving Door Open
As stated previously in relation to leaving the door open 25mm to encourage the fire
to pick up at a faster rate, your heater has been tested to ensure that no
structural damage can take place if the door is inadvertently left open. However
your paint finish can be damaged if the door is left open for a long period with a
full firebox of fuel with the fan off. Closely supervise your heater while the door is
left open.
Closing the Door
Always ensure that before you close your door there is no wood protruding
beyond the front of the firebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a ’battering
ram’ to push the wood back into the firebox. Damage to the glass by such
impact is not covered by your warranty.
(continued)
AF Gason Pty Ltd accepts no liability whatsoever for any interpretation of
AS/NZS 2918:2001. It is important you understand these installation
instructions, and minimum clearances to combustibles before installing
your Jindara Hamersley Insert.
All dimensions used in this document are in millimetres and are minimum
unless otherwise stated. These dimensions state the minimum distance the
Jindara Hamersley Insert can be placed in relation to any combustible
materials – plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF etc.
Installation Permit
Depending on your local authority requirements, a permit may be required for
the installation of your heater. It is your responsibility to arrange the same.
Installation into existing or masonry fireplace
The Jindara Hamersley Insert can be installed into a masonry fireplace with a flue
system that is in accordance with the relevant sections of AS/NZA 2198:2001. No
combustible or heat sensitive material may be placed closer than 975mm from
the top of the hearth/base of appliance and 150mm either side of the
appliance’s fascia.
In a masonry fireplace installation, the minimum hearth depth of 600mm from
the front of the fascia panel must be achieved. In the instance the fireplace is
raised above a combustible floor, and it is desired to reduce the hearth depth,
please refer to the elevated installation instructions on page 7 for hearth
reduction information.
For detailed mantle clearance dimensions, refer Figure 4.
