Frequently Asked Questions - Garnet SRS2 Freestanding EUREKA

Why does smoke enter the room when I open the door?

This is often due to insufficient flue height (minimum 4500 mm), flue downdraught, or creosote buildup. Increase flue height, consult dealer, or clean flue. Ensure wood is dry.

How do I clean the glass door?

For light film, burn heater normally then wipe with damp cloth when cool. For creosote, use wet ash from the ash bed or commercial products like Crystal Clear, Johnson Foam Clean, or Windex.

How do I achieve an overnight burn?

Load heater with fuel 30 minutes before shutting down, run at medium-high air setting to reduce moisture, then set air control to your preferred low setting and turn fan off. Goal is a few hot embers in the morning.

My fan is noisy. What should I do?

Turn off power, remove fan access panel, clean dust with dry paint brush and vacuum blades. Apply 2-3 drops of sewing machine oil on shafts at bearings. Reassemble.

The air control is sticking. How do I fix it?

Remove top plate and air control knob. Lift air control panel, undo three bolts holding the air slide. Clean any ash or debris, sand smooth if burrs present. Reassemble without lubricant.

How do I clean the flue?

Remove baffle plate, close door. Use a 150 mm flue brush from roof, push down chimney slowly until it stops, pull back and repeat. Clean residue from firebox and replace baffle. Inspect roof flashing.

How do I place the firebricks correctly?

Stand firebricks vertically on end against rear and side walls, bevel edge down and inward. Use the 'C' shaped angle iron bracket to hold them in place. Push each brick firmly against wall.

The door doesn't seal tightly. How do I adjust it?

Check door rope indentation; adjust thickness if uneven. To tighten door, loosen Allen key screw in door handle shaft, rotate handle shaft anti-clockwise (1 turn = 1 mm), close and check seal. Re-tighten screw.

What should I do during the first few fires?

Paint curing occurs on first fires. Ventilate the room well. Do not exceed medium air setting and keep fan on when above low burn. Expect smoke from paint; this is normal.

What is covered under warranty?

Firebox: 10 years, paint finish: 12 months, other components: 12 months (excluding glass, firebricks, buffer plate). Warranty requires installation and operation per manual. Contact authorized dealer for claims.

WARNING

Paint curing and care

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, your local dealer has touchup paint available for purchase. You may even change the colour of your heater if you wish.

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

Troubleshooting Installation

- Smoke entering the room from the firebox when the door is open may be 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 buildup in flue Remove cowl and clean flue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood.

- 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. Overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to a fine ash. If you are not ready to shut down for 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.

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 before selecting a position for your Eureka Garnet to ensure a 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.

Clearances

All dimensions used in this document are in millimeters and are minimum unless otherwise stated. These dimensions state the minimum distance the Eureka Gamet can be placed in relation to any non-combustible materials – plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF etc.

In the instance your Eureka Gamet is surrounded by non-combustible materials – brick, stone, concrete, cement sheet, villaboard or similar, wall clearances can be reduced to 100mm. A 100mm clearance is required to ensure room air can circulate around the woodheater while operating.

The Eureka Garnet freestanding heater conforms to AS/NZS 2918:2001 when positioned in relation to combustible surfaces as shown in the graphic on the following page.

Hearth Requirements

If the Eureka Garnet will be installed onto a non-combustible floor such as a brick, stone or a concrete slab with tiles etc. which is at least 20mm thick and extends at least 450mm in front of the appliance base, a hearth or floor protected may not be required.

If the Eureka Garnet is to be installed onto a combustible floor, a minimum 20mm cement sheet or similar non-combustible hearth or floor protector must be placed on top of the combustible floor. At a minimum, the floor protector must extend 450mm in front of appliance base. The protector must be at least 1020mm wide and 980mm deep.

- 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 nut which holds 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 Eureka Dealer from whom you purchased your unit for service. Replace in the reverse order.

• Air Control Jamming

Lift up and remove top plate.

Remove air control knob by turning anti-clockwise. Lift air control panel out of the way.

There are three 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 buirs 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 shaft. Unscrew Allen key screw in door handle shaft. Rotate door handle shaft anti-clockwise when facing heater (1 tum = 1 millimetre). Close door and lock. Open door and check door for even indentation from sealing strip. Repeat process if required. Replace Allen key screw (check to ensure that roll pin is central in shaft.)

When closing the door you should now feel firm resistance when the latch comes into contact with the catch.

WARNING

Overfiring

NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE DOOR LOOSE AND DO NOT AIR TIGHT OVERFIRING COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FIREBOX.

Operating your Eureka (Continued)

Cleaning your flue

Carefully remove baffle plate and put it to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 150mm flue brush from your local Eureka Dealer and proceed up onto your roof. Remove the cowl. Slowly push the flue brush down the chimney 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 chimney till it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the chimney and into the firebox. Clean residue from firebox. Replace the baffle plate. Make sure you do the job well. The cleaner the flue the less chance there will be of the creosote sticking again. After you have replaced the cowl, inspect the roof flashing for any damage that may have been incurred whilst you were cleaning the flue. Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicone if required.

The fan

It is recommended to run the fan while the heater is operating above low burn on low speed. For extended periods when the heater is running above medium fire, high or boost is recommended. Boost is recommended for short bursts where a quick temperature rise is desired in conjunction with a high fire setting. 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, Eureka reserve the right to disallow any warranty claims in relation to firebox failure.

The Door

Leaving Door Open

As stated previously in relation to leaving 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.

Installation (Continued)

Flue Installation

The flue system must comply with Australian and New Zealand installation standards AS/NZS 2918:2001, and installed to the flue manufacturers instructions.

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

The rear wall clearances mentioned above have been achieved with the following flue specifications.

1. 150mm – rear wall clearance with an AS/NZS 2918:2001 approved flue kit, which incorporates a decorative surround which is unperforsed for 180 degrees of its circumference. Additionally a 180 degree x 900mm stainless steel heat shield located in between the 7" active flue, and decorative surround (supplied with woodheater).

Installation (Continued)

Placement of firebricks in firebox

Take the firebricks out of the heater. They are to be placed so that they stand on end against the rear and two side walls of the firebox. You will notice that the bricks have a bevel on one end.

Inside the firebox there is a "C" shaped angle iron firebrick retaining bracket. This is designed to sit over the bricks and hold them in place. This should be placed in the firebox so that you see a flat face of the angle iron on both sides of the firebox and at the rear of the firebox.

Holding the "C" frame up to the top of the firebox, insert a whole firebrick, standing it vertically with the bevel edge pointing down and facing inwards toward the left hand side of the firebox. Lower the left hand side of the "C" frame onto the firebrick. Repeat with a whole firebrick on the right hand side.

Place firebricks (3 whole firebricks) using the same method against the back wall of the firebox.

Now place one extra whole firebrick on either side of the firebox to complete the installation of the firebricks (i.e. two each side and remainder on the back wall.)

Push each brick and "C" frame firmly against the wall of the firebox and you are ready to light your fire.

Fitting the Baffle Plate

1. Feed baffle plate through the door opening with front edge folded up all the way to the rear of the heater.
2. Lift front over Pin A and slide towards front of heater.
3. Lift rear so baffle plate is horizontal and move towards back of heater.
4. Lower over Pin B.
5. Baffle plate must be sitting on Pins A & B.

Final inspection prior to use

• Ensure the baffle is firmly located.

• Ensure firebrick liners – sides and base are positioned correctly.
  • Check fan cord has not been damaged during transit.
  • Plug in fan cord and ensure cord does not touch stove surface.
  • Check all door seals are fitting correctly.

Operating your Eureka

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 and, turn the fan on to low speed.

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 cure'.

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 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.

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 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. 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 235mm 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.
