Troubleshooting
!
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE DOOR LOOSE AND NOT AIR TIGHT. OVERFIRING
COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FIREBOX.
• Noisy Fan
Turn the power off and remove the three pin plug from the power point. Remove the four screws that hold the front fan access panel.
Remove the panel. Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the two 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
Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is O.K. assume the Fan or the Switch is defective. Isolate the
power as above. Check that the terminals on the loom and the switch are firmly connected. If the fan then fails to function, remove the
fan and switch by firstly removing the knob off the fan switch by pulling it away from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch
out. Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove the fan and switch. Convey the same to the authorised Jindara Dealer from
whom you purchased your unit for service. Replace in the reverse order.
• Air Control Jamming
Remove air control cover plate by removing the four screws which hold it onto the face of the heater. There are two bolts 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 the sealing strip, which is on the face of the firebox. If it is uneven and it appears as
though air could leak through the seal, adjust the thickness of the door rope to suit. Stretch the rope to make it thinner where the indentation is
the heaviest and bunch up the excess where the indentation is smaller.
Check the four bolts that hold the glass retainer in position. If loose tighten. Do not overtighten.
The door may become loose through the door seal shrinking. To tighten the door, open the door and look at the inside of the door catch. Undo
the nut which is holding the latch plate. Remove the latch plate. Remove one thick washer and the star washer. Refit the latch plate. The latch
plate is concave to provide a lead in edge so that there is smooth connection between the door latch and the catch. Make sure that the face of
the latch that is curved outward is facing towards the door.
Replace the nut. When closing the door you should now feel firm resistance when the latch comes into contact with the catch.

WARNING
Your heater is coated with the best available heat resistant paint. Even though the paint has
been baked after application, it may require further temperature curing. It may, if you overfire
the heater on its first fire, discolour. For your first two or three firings, never exceed medium
air setting and always have the fan on when above low burn. Do not wipe the heater while the
paint is curing. After the paint has cured the only maintenance required to maintain the
heaters finish is to wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not use any commercial cleaners or solvents
on the paint finish.
We are proud of the presentation of our products. If at any time you need to freshen up the
paint finish, your local dealer has touch up paint available for purchase. You may even change
the colour of your heater if you wish.
If you have any enquires, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your heater:
