Operating your Jindara woodheater

Starting your  re

Place a 

 or paper in the bottom of the 

 and place a large amount of small kindling on top. Ignite the

paper or the 

r. 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 

-up you may detect smoke coming from the paint 

 and from any oils that may be on the steel on

the outside of the 

. This is normal. It is suggested to well ventilate your home on the initial 

 up. Please refer to

our section ‘Paint Curing and Care’.

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 hardwood, you will have very little discolouration of your glass in a normal burning cycle. 
If you aim for an 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 

 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 

 that you have

a wet sticky black 

 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 

ntly to

be wiped with a damp cloth. This should clean all the white smoky 

   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 

 on

the glass won’t come o  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
some wood on top of the embers and leave the door open 25mm. Once the fuel starts to 

 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 

 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 300mm long wood and load your wood straight into the 

 front to rear. This will

give optimum 

 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 

 and  e.) Set the air control to the setting you have found best for your requirements. Turn the fan   and

retire.  The aim when overnight burning is to have only a few hot embers left in the bottom of the 

 in the morning,

not huge lumps of wood.
