and 55mm either side of the appliance’s fascia.
In a masonry fireplace installation, the minimum hearth depth of 550mm from the front of
the fascia panel must be achieved. In the instance the fireplace is raised above a combustible
floor, and it is desirable to reduce the hearth depth, please refer to the elevated installation
instructions on page 5 for hearth reduction information.
For detailed mantle clearance dimensions, refer Figure 5 on page 6.
If installing the Jindara Tilga under a combustible mantle, a hot air deflector must be attached
onto the front of the fascia.

Troubleshooting
• Noisy Fan
Turn the power off and remove the three pin plug from the power point. Remove door and carefully place to one side.
Remove the four M8 Cap Screws that hold the fascia onto the firebox. Remove the fascia. Remove switch mount panel.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the wing nuts which hold the fan in position and remove
the fan. Clean any dust with a dry paint brush and vacuum the fan blades. Clean around the motor. After completion
place two or three drops of sewing machine oil on the shafts at the bearings. Replace the fan in reverse to the removal.
• Fan not working
are firmly connected. If the fan still fails to function, remove the fan and switches by firstly removing knob off the rotary
switch by pulling it away from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch out.
Squeeze locator tabs together on the rear of the thermostat switch and push through outside of pedestal.
Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove the fan. Convey the same to the authorised Jindara Dealer from
whom you purchased your unit for service.
Replace in the reverse order.
• Air control jamming
Access to the air slide is available when the door is opened.
There are three screws holding the air slide in place. Undo them and remove the air slide. Wipe any ash or dust that may
have accumulated on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater. If any burrs have developed on the back of the
air slide or on the face of the heater, rub them off with fine wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and
edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers and spacers are on the bolts when you screw the bolts back into
the face of the heater. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and make the
slide stick.
• No overnight burn
Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check that the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is
loose, tighten up the bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.
Check that the door rope has an even indentation from its contact with the face of the firebox. If it is uneven
and it appears as though air could leak through the seal, the door hinge and latch can be adjusted or the door rope may
need to be replaced. Refer door adjustments and rope replacement instructions.
WARNING
!
Overfiring
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE DOOR LOOSE, OR SUCH THAT THE FIREBOX
IS NOT AIR TIGHT. OVERFIRING COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR
ON THE FIREBOX AND FLUE SYSTEM.
Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is ok, shift focus to the fan or the switches.
Move thermostat switch into the ‘Override’ position, and select one of the three fan speeds. If the fan fails to function,
isolate power as above, remove fascia to gain access to loom. Check that the terminals on the loom and both switches
• Excessive ash build up
Some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how you run the heater. Others will give you very little. Use the wood
which is most convenient for you as long as it is dry. After a period of time you will get to know when to empty your unit.
Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to burn it. If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may find that after
running the heater say for 8 hours at maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. An overnight burn will reduce
this charcoal back to a fine ash. If you are not ready to shut down for an overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the
stove with only one piece of wood and lay it across the firebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control wide open and
you will find the charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process until the ash level is significantly
reduced.
• Excessive smoking - smoke entering the room maybe caused by:
• Insufficient length of flue (Flue to be 4500mm minimum underneath the base of heater to underside of cowl)
Increase height of flue
• Flue downdraught -
Consult dealer or increase height of flue.
• Creosote build up in flue -
Remove cowl and clean flue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of
wood.
