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 two screws which hold it onto the face of the heater. 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 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.
Overfiring
• 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 from underneath base of heater to underside of cowl)
– Increase height of flue.
• Both doors open together
• 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.
• 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. Always leave 12mm of ash in the bottom of your heater. 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 shutdown 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.

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:
