Final inspection prior to use
• Ensure the baffle system is firmly located and in the correct orientation
• Ensure cast iron liners - side and back - are positioned correctly.
• Check fan cord has not been damaged during transit.
• Plug in fan cord and ensure cord does not touch heater surface.
• Switch thermostat switch to ‘Override’ and select one of three speeds to
ensure fan is operational.
• Check door seals are in place and fitting correctly.
The Jindara Tilga’s baffle system comprises of three components:
• 8mm Steel Plate
• 13mm DuraBlanket
• 12mm Silica board
When removing the baffle system to clean the flue, the baffle system
must be inspected and replaced in the configuration as shown in Figure 5.
If the systems components are compromised in anyway it is important components
are replaced.

WARNING
!
Insulated 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.
The rear cast iron liner is to be positioned to the rear with rib and logos facing into the
firebox. Side cast liners are to be positioned on each side and interlock into the rear
cast liner. Refer Figure 6 for orientation.
1.
Feed the baffle plate through the door opening with
front edge fold facing up. Feed plate all the way to the
rear of the firebox.
2.
Lift front of baffle over Pin A and slide towards the front
of heater.
3.
Lift the rear so that the baffle is horizontal and move it
towards the rear of the firebox.
4.
Lower over Pin B.
5.
Ensure baffle is sitting on Pins A and B.

WARNING
!
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.
WARNING
!
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.
Fan operation
Rotary switch
Thermostat switch
Thermostat ‘On’
Thermostat ‘Override’
Figure 10
Your Jindara Tilga is equipped with a temperature-sensitive thermostat switch located within the heater’s fascia 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 below:
• 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. If you wish the fan can be left 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.)
