Installation

WARNING

installation

THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT AS PER THIS MANUAL AND THE FLUE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS.

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE A QUALIFIED INSTALLER TO CARRY OUT THE INSTALLATION.

If you have any other enquiries, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your heater.

THIS APPLIANCE WEIGHS IN EXCESS OF 220 KILOGRAMS. EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE APPLIANCE.

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 combustible materials before selecting a position for your Jindara Spectre to ensure safe and correct installation is achieved.

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.

Flue requirements

As per the dimensions in Figure 1, the Jindara Spectre can be installed with a Perforated 7" Default Flue Kit, or Figure 2, a Solid 7" Default Flue Kit. In both instances, an additional 8" solid flue must be fitted between the inner flue and outer flue, to the height of the ceiling if any part of the unit is to be installed less than 1200mm from a heat sensitive surface. The flue system installed with the Jindara Spectre must comply with Australian and New Zealand installation standards AS/NZS 2918.2001, and be installed to the flue manufacturer's instructions.

The performance of your Jindara Spectre is highly reliant on an effective flue system. In many cases poor start-up, dirty glass, down draft which causes smoking when the door is open, and a reduction in heat outupt can all be related to the flue system being too short, or incorrect installation. Too tall a flue can result in excess draft and short burn times along with excessive heat output.

Clearance to combustibles

The Jindara Spectre freestanding heater conforms to AS/NZS 2918:2001 when positioned in relation to combustible surfaces as shown in Figures 1 & 2 on the following page. All dimensions used in this document are in millimetres and are minimum unless otherwise stated.

These dimensions in Figures 1 & 2 state the minimum distance the Jindara Spectre can be placed in relation to any combustible materials - plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF, etc.

In the instance your Jindara Spectre is surrounded by non-combustible materials - brick, stone, concrete, cement sheet, villaboard or similar, wall clearances can be reduced to 50mm. A 50mm clearance is required to ensure room air can circulate around the wood heater during operation.

For additional clearance details, or to access the Jindara Spectre Freestanding Conformance Certificate, please contact the Jindara Dealer from whom you purchased your heater.

Hearth & floor requirements

If the Jindara Spectre will be installed onto a non-combustible floor such as a brick, stone or concrete slab with tiles, etc. which is at least 6mm thick, and extends at least 458mm in front of the appliance base at each door, a hearth or floor protector may not be required.

If the Jindara Spectre is to be installed onto a combustible floor, a minimum 6mm Bellis Board, or similar non-combustible hearth or floor protector must be placed in between the appliance and the combustible floor. At a minimum, the floor protector must extend 458mm in front of the appliance base in both directions, with a minimum overall depth of 1580mm. The protector must be at least 940mm wide.

Firewood

Getting the most out of your firewood

Firewood is a sustainable source of energy and when used correctly can provide a cost effective form of heating in your home. Too often poor heating results and operational issues are attributed to using unseasoned wood which leads to excess smoking, causing creosote buildup and dirty glass. Wood should be stored in a dry place where good ventilation is available. Freshly cut wood should be stored for between 12-24 months before burning.

Use only hardwood with your Jindara Spectre.

Thermal efficiency

A wood's efficiency does not depend only on its type, but also on its moisture content as well as the temperature of the combustion chamber. To achieve a greater efficiency and longer burn cycle out of your Jindara Spectre, without the emissions of hazardous particulates, your wood must be well seasoned.

Ideally, wood should not be burnt when its moisture content is above 20%. A moisture meter to measure moisture content is a handy addition.

An example of available thermal efficiency for a piece of wood as a fuel source at varying moisture levels.

Figure 10

The combustion process of burning wood

When wood is heated up to approximately 100 degrees celsius, moisture begins to evaporate from the fuel. There is no heating value from the wood at this point. As moisture releases from the wood, it reduces the efficiency of the combustion process robbing heat energy from the wood. This demonstrates the importance of dry and well seasoned wood. As firebox temperatures reach 250-300 degrees celsius, wood solids begin to break down and release volatile gases which ignite and produce heat.

From 3001 degrees celsius, the main energy available from wood is released when fuel vapors containing up to 60% of the wood's potential heat is released.

Understanding combustion principles and learning how to manipulate various conditions surrounding the operation of your Jindara Spectre enables you to achieve maximum comfort and efficiency from your Australian made wood heater.

Troubleshooting

- Noisy Fan

Turn the power off and remove the three pin plug from the power point.

Remove the four screws that hold the front of the pedestal and fan access panel. Remove the 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

• Fans not working

Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is O.K. shift focus to the fan or the switches. Move thermostat switch into the 'Overide' position, and select one of the three fan speeds. If the fans fail to function, isolate power as above, remove pedestal filler panel to gain access to loom. Check that the terminals on the loom and both switches are firmly connected. If the fans still fail to function, remove the fans and switches by firstly removing the knob from 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 fans. 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 airside 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 burns 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, springs and spacers are fitted 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 if 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.

• 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 heater, load the heater 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.

WARNING

Overfiring

TO PREVENT OVERFIRING OF THE HEATER, 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.

Baffle System

WARNING

Baffle System

If the baffle system is damaged, burnt out, discarded or not installed as per these instructions, high flue temperatures, losses in combustion efficiency and excess smoking can occur.

To operate this appliance as it is intended, and to ensure product longevity is achieved, ensure the baffle is installed as per these instructions.

If firebox, flue failure or excess damage to the appliance or its surroundings is reported due to incorrect installation or operation of the Insulated Baffle System, AF Gason Pty. Ltd. reserve the right to disallow any warranty or claims in relation to the abovementioned.

Fitting the steel baffle

CAUTION - Steel baffle is heavy (15kg) - seek assistance when carrying out baffle removal/installation.

1. Feed the baffle plate through the door opening with the upturned edges facing towards the door opening. Position the baffle in roughly the centre of the firebox.

2. Lift one edge of the baffle up over the baffle support bracket, lifting the raised edge as far into the upper corner of the firebox as possible.

3. Lift the other edge of the baffle up so that it is also above the height of the baffle support brackets.

4. Shift the baffle sideways so that it locates in the baffle supports on both sides of the firebox.

5. Ensure that the baffle is sitting level and that it is securely located in the baffle supports.

Placement of Cast Iron Liners into firebox

The cast iron liners are to be positioned with ribs and logos facing into the firebox.

To install cast iron liners, align the lower recesses of the cast iron liner and the retaining tabs in the firebox, then slip the liner over the retaining tabs and lower into position. Reverse this procedure for liner removal.

Operating your Jindara

WARNING

Read these instructions

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE UNDUE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR RESULT IN A FLUE FIRE.

Starting your fire

Place a firelighter or paper in the bottom of the firebox and place a large amount of small kindling on top. Ignite the paper or the firelighter. Set the air control to high and leave the main door open approximately 25mm. When the kindling is burning, place about four pieces of small wood on top of the burning kindling. Once the wood is alight, close the main door. After approximately 20 minutes, turn the air control down to Medium. For fan operation refer page 8.

On the initial fire up you may detect smoke coming from the paint finish and from any oils that may be on the steel on the outside of the firebox. This is normal. It is suggested to well ventilate your home on the initial fire up. Please refer to our section 'Paint Curing and Care' on page 2.

The glass door

Always operate your heater with the door closed and locked. The only time you can leave the door open is on initial lighting, or when reloading the heater.

Care of your glass

If you are burning good, dry wood, you will have very little discolouration of your glass in a normal burning cycle. If you aim for an eight to ten hour overnight burn, you should not get much discolouration. You can control this by adjusting the air control, moving from the left and slowly creeping the control to the right. After a number of days you will find the right position to suit your requirements and the fuel that you are using.

Daily 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 three or four pieces of wood on top of the embers and leave the door open 25mm. Once the fuel starts to flame close the door. Depending on your daily heating requirements, operate the fan as per fan operation instructions on page 8. For best results it is best to burn 410mm 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 for the overnight burn it is recommended to load the heater with fuel. Leave the air control in the Medium to High position. Let the heater run for about 30 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.

Fan operation

Your Jindara Spectre is equipped with a temperature-sensitive thermostat switch located within the heaters pedestal beneath the firebox, which when selected will turn the fan on and off depending on the temperature of the firebox.

To use the thermostat, select the thermostat 'On' position via the thermostat switch, and select the desired fan speed you wish to use (low, medium or high).

If the fan is not coming on at the desired time, flip the switch into the override position and operate the 3 speed fan as described on page 8, with reference to figure 6.

Spectre Freestanding

Operating your Jindara (continued)

- Initial Startup (cold)

Leave fan off until the heater is hot and has established a coal bed - approximately 20 minutes after fuel is lit.

• Medium or High Burn Setting

If the heater is running above medium fire for extended periods of time, fan speeds Medium and High are recommended. High is recommended for short bursts where a quick temperature rise is desired in conjunction with a high fire setting.

• Low Burn Setting

The fan cools off the firebox, robbing the combustion process of efficiency. It is acceptable to turn the fan off, only when the heater is burning a low fire.

Note: Improper use of fan can result in firebox failure.

The fan should be cleaned on a regular basis. (Refer Troubleshooting for fan removal and cleaning.)

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, AF Gason Pty. Ltd. reserve the right to disallow any warranty claims in relation to firebox failure.

The Door

Leaving Door Open

As stated previously, leaving door open 25mm encourages 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.

Maintaining & Servicing your Jindara

Cleaning your flue

Firstly and carefully remove cast iron plates and baffle system and put to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 180mm flue brush from your local Jindara Dealer and proceed to the top of the flue. Remove the flue cowl. Slowly push the brush down the flue until it stops. Pull the brush back out and repeat the process. Each time you do this you will notice that the brush will go further down the flue until it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the flue and into the firebox. Clean residue from firebox. Replace the baffle plate first followed by the cast iron liners. Make sure you do the job well. The cleaner the flue the less chance there will be of the creosote sticking again. After you replace the cowl, inspect the roof flashing for any damage that may have incurred whilst you were cleaning the flue. Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicon if required.

Spectre Freestanding 9

Maintaining & Servicing your Jindara (continued)

Cleaning the glass

Generally the only time you will possibly need to clean your glass is after a long overnight bum. 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 bum 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.

To maintain an efficient and safe use of your Jindara Spectre, you may need to adjust the door hinge and catch to ensure the door closes safely and correctly over the duration of its life.

Adjusting door catch

- Open door to gain access to catch.

• Using a 3mm Allen key, remove the two catch retaining screws and set aside.

• To tighten the latch, remove one shim. To loosen the latch, fit an additional shim.

• Additional shims are provided in the user manual packaging. Refer to figure 11-1.

- Once the desired setting has been achieved, re-fit the catch assembly using the

two retaining screws.

- Note that if an adequate seal cannot be achieved through the removal of one shim, a replacement door rope may be required.

The door hinge defines the door alignment to the heater and the door catch, as well as determining the amount of pressure applied to the main door rope at the hinge side of the door.

To align door.

• Slightly loosen 3 x M8 Bolts securing the hinge to the heater. The upper bolts should be loosened 1-1+1/2 turns, while the lower bolt should only be loosened 1/2 a turn.
• Align door horizontally by pivoting the door about the lower bolt. Note that there is no provision for lateral adjustment of the door hinge position.
• Check the alignment of the door by measuring vertically from the underside of the door at each outer edge, to the base of the unit, as per figure 11-2. This measurement should be taken with the hinge bolts tightened and with the door hanging under its own weight.
  To adjust hinge shims:
• Open door and lift free of hinge, and place on a soft flat surface while servicing the hinge.
• Remove the door hinge and fasteners as shown in figure 13.
• Remove x1 hinge shim plate in order to tighten the seal of the door rope.
  The maximum number of shims permitted behind the hinge is 2, fitted as standard.
• Fit door and re-align door to catch and firebox before fully tightening M8 bolts. Adjusting door handle
• The door handle position can be adjusted to align the handle with the door glass, when the handle is in the closed position.
• Adjustment is carried out by winding the adjuster screw in or out, in order to change the rest stop position of the handle. This should be done with the door open and the handle resting in the closed position.
  • To adjust the position of the screw, first release the lock nuts, then use a Phillip's head screw driver to turn the adjuster screw either in or out depending on the adjustment required.
• Once the desired adjustment position has been achieved, the lock nut should be re-tightened against the retaining plate. Refer to figure 11.3.
