Installation

Fitting the Door

The cast iron door of your Jindara Townsend is attached to your heater with two hinges. Excercise caution when handling 

the door assembly, as it is bulky and heavy. Fitment is as follows:

1. 

Stand the door up so that is vertical, in the same orientation that it will be fitted to the heater.

2. 

Hold the door at 45 - 90 degrees from the door opening, positioning the hinges over the hinge pins of the firebox.

3. 

Lower the door so that the hinges locate on the hinge pins, ensuring that you do not let go until you are certain 

that the hinges are correctly located.

Removal of the door is carried out in reverse order of installation. 

Final Inspection Prior to Use

Before lighting the first fire in your Jindara Townsend, check the following list of items to ensure that your heater will 

perform correctly, and safely:

• 

Ensure Lower and Upper Baffles are correctly and securely fitted.

• 

Ensure that the firebricks are installed correctly with their retainer.

• 

Ensure the door is correctly fitted, and that the door catch can be engaged/disengaged as required.

• 

Check that both the upper and lower air slides can be operated within their full range.

• 

Check that the door seals are in place and fitting correctly.
