NOVEMBER 2012

NOVEMBER 2012 page 2www.jayline.co.nz
Congratulations on the purchase of your Jayline wood re.
Please read this installation and operation manual carefully.
The installation of this re must comply with the Installation Standard
AS/NZS 2918:2001 as well as any additional local requirements.
Please ensure you have all relevant permits prior to installation.
Keep this booklet as a reference guide.
INSTAllATION OF yOuR JAylINE WOOD FIRE
Jayline recommends you use a qualied solid fuel heater installer or a registered plumber to install your
re. Your dealer or heating specialist will be able to help with recommendations as well as advise on
permits/consents required for the installation in your area.
Please follow carefully all dimensions and recommendations provided on the individual specication
sheet for your model of heater as these dimensions comply with the required New Zealand standard
(AS/NZS 2918:2001).
As safety and emissions performance can be aected by altering the appliance, no modications are
allowed without the written permission from the manufacturer.
INSTAllATION
1. Unpack the heater and check that there is no damage.
2. Ascertain the position of the roof penetration for the ue system.
A correctly installed ue system will normally prevent down draught problems during windy
weather and eliminate smoke spillage problems due to lack of draught.
3. Ascertain suitable position for appliance and size of oor protector and check the ceiling to ensure
that no major structural members will be aected by the path of the ue.
4. Check that the sub-structure is capable of carrying the heater (i.e. weight consideration on the oor).
5. Check measurements of the heater to combustibles or shield.
6. Locate the heater in the required position (also see ‘Fitting Seismic Restraint’ after installation
instruction #10).
7. Using a plumb line fastened to the ceiling, mark the centre of the ue penetration position and cut
the ceiling hole to the required size and frame out.
8. Install the ue system (see ue installation instructions supplied with ue system).
Remember:
• The ue system should rise vertically from the appliance with as few osets as possible. Osets
should be limited as each change in direction creates a resistance to airow and makes ue
cleaning dicult.
• The ue system must be well sealed with a minimum of 3 xings at each joint.
• The ue pipe penetrating the chimney must continue to the minimum length of 4.6m from the top
of the oor protector to the cowl.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 3www.jayline.co.nz
• Flue exiting more than 3 metres from the ridgeline must terminate no less than 1 metre above the
roof penetration (see diagram 1 below).
• Where the top of the ue pipe is more than 2 metres above its highest xing point, it must be stayed
against high winds.
9. Drill and x ue system into ue spigot with stainless steel self-tapping screws.
10. Drill and secure the appliance to the oor protector using the two holes in the rear legs of the
appliance.
FITTING SEISMIC RESTRAINT
The Floor Protector must be mechanically xed to the oor by bolting or screwing. Note: Floor Protector
to be xed by gluing when on a concrete oor that may have water pipes or electrical wires present. The
appliance can then be bolted to the oor protector with two 6mm x 50mm dynabolts.
BAFFlE
Before lighting your appliance for the rst time, make sure the bae is in the correct position being as
far to the rear as possible.

CORRECT OpERATION OF yOuR JAylINE WOOD FIRE
Simply by burning your Jayline re correctly, you can improve eciency, reduce fuel consumption and
minimise air pollution.
STARTING A NEW FIRE
Please note: If lighting the re for the rst time, dust re, glass, trim and ue before ring to avoid particles
sticking or discolouring. Once red, some smoke and vapour will be released as the VHT painted surfaces
enter the nal curing process. Open all windows and doors while running the re on high for up to 3 hours.
People with respiratory, heart or other relevant medical conditions should avoid inhaling vapours during the
curing process. All VHT paint will cure at the highest temperature achieved and will produce smoke again if
this temperature is exceeded.
To start and maintain a good re you will need the following ingredients:
1. A small quantity of newspaper (do not use coloured or coated paper);
2. A packet of relighters (optional)
3. A quantity of nely split, dry soft wood kindling in a variety of sizes; and
4. Seasoned rewood split into a range of piece sizes, to be loaded front to back.
The rst step is to crumple half a dozen sheets of
newspaper and put them just inside the rebox.
The amount of newspaper you need will depend on
the rebox size, and the dryness and neness of the
kindling you are using. The drier and ner the kindling,
the less newspaper you need. Many people make the
mistake of using too little newspaper. Be generous with
the newspaper and you will have more success. Putting
some relighter halves under the newspaper can also
help sustain rebox temperature until the wood is burning.
On top of the paper place 10 to 15 pieces of nely split,
dry kindling. Softwoods, such as cedar or pine, make
good kindling. Ideally, the kindling should be placed on
the newspaper so that the combustion air reaches the
newspaper fast where you ignite it. It is also a good idea
to add two or three very small pieces of rewood to the
kindling load before lighting.
TO BUILD A QUICK, HOT FIRE
Use plenty of crumpled newspaper
and dry, nely-split kindling. Set the air
control fully open. Light the newspaper
near where the combustion air enters
the rebox. When a kindling re is built
properly, you should expect fast ignition
and no smoldering.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 6www.jayline.co.nz
Set the air control to fully open, light the relighters or the newspaper and close but do not latch the
door. After about 5-10 minutes, when the wood is aming brightly, latch the door (some longer ue
installations may require door to be left unlatched for up to 15 minutes until the ue system is warm
and producing strong draught. Since leaving the door open slightly can cause dangerously high
temperatures, never leave the woodstove unattended while starting the re.
When the ames from the kindling load just begin to subside, add several small pieces of rewood
as shown on page 7 (loaded front to back). Try to avoid smothering the re with the new pieces.
Placing the pieces on the burning kindling can help prevent smothering. Your Jayline heater requires
approximately 45-60 minutes to preheat the steel rebox before it can eectively emit heat into the
room. A well maintained, hot re will reduce the preheat cycle.
REKINDLING A FIRE FROM CHARCOAL OR EMBERS
Embers found at the back of the rebox should be raked
evenly around the re box. If only a small amount of
embers remain, you will have to start with kindling. If
there is a good quantity of glowing embers to work with,
place at least three, and preferably more than ve pieces
of small rewood on the embers (loaded front to back).
Open the air inlets fully and close the door.
If everything is just right, fast ignition of the new load
should be expected. Allow the re to burn with bright
turbulent ames until the wood is completely alight. This
usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending
on the size of the pieces and the moisture content of
the wood. When the wood is burning well, reduce the
air setting to produce the amount of heat and length
of burn desired. Reducing the air control setting in two
or three stages will result in less air pollution because
the re will not have to recover from the single, large
reduction in air supply.
The most important rule is NEVER LET THE FIRE SMOULDER. As long as there is solid wood in the
rebox, there must be ames present or the unburned gases will escape, both reducing eciency and
increasing air pollution.
Always open the re door slowly to allow fresh air to enter and maintain the smoke path. If you open the
door too quickly, smoke can pu out.
TO REKINDLE A FIRE FROM HOT COALS:
Rake the charcoal evenly. Place small
pieces of wood on and behind the coals.
Open the air inlets fully and leave them
open until the pieces of wood are well
charred. This illustration shows the
arrangement of pieces for an extended re.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 7www.jayline.co.nz
SOME OTHER uSEFul TIpS
Fuel load geometry: Small pieces of rewood arranged loosely in
a crisscross pattern (loaded front to back) burn quickly because the
combustion air can reach all the pieces at once. Larger pieces placed
a little more compactly burn slower. Once your heater has reached
maximum temperature, it is more ecient to top up frequently with
about 25% of a full load rather than let the re die down and need to
completely rell it.
A STACKED FUEL LOAD
AS VIEWED FROM DOOR
Fire in cycles: Don’t expect perfectly steady heat output from your Jayline heater. Solid fuel heaters
burn in cycles. A cycle is the time between the ignition of a load from charcoal and the consumption of
the load back to a coal bed. Plan the ring cycles around your household routine. If someone is home
to operate the heater, build a small hot re. If you must be away from the house during the day, build a
long-burning re.
The small, hot re: A small, hot re is a small amount of wood burned quickly. Use it when you just want
to take the chill o the house. The small hot re technique eliminates the smouldering res that are
common when people don’t need their heater running hot all the time, like in spring and autumn. To
build a small hot re, rake the embers evenly in the rebox and place several small pieces of rewood on
it. The bottom layer should be placed to ensure that combustion air can ow over the embers and along
the length of the pieces of wood (loaded front to back). The next layer should be stacked as per the
loading geometry. Open the air inlet to produce a hot, bright re. After approximately 15–20 minutes
the air supply can be reduced slightly as the re progresses, but never enough to extinguish the ames.
When only charcoal remains, the air supply can be reduced further to prevent cooling the ember bed.
Reload with small pieces often (loaded front to back), as full loads will smother the ember bed.
The long-burning re: To achieve a long burning re, rake the embers evenly, as with the small hot re,
and use larger and more pieces of wood. Place the pieces in a similar pattern to the small hot re, using
more pieces and larger pieces (especially the top layer). Always make certain that there is a gap between
the pieces to ensure that the combustion air can reach all pieces. Open the air inlets fully for between
15 to 30 minutes depending on load size and fuel moisture content. When the re is burning ercely (at
least 15 minutes), reduce the air control in stages to the desired level. This allows you to turn down the
air control and still maintain a clean-burning re.
REMEMBER: NEVER LET THE FIRE SMOULDER.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 8www.jayline.co.nz
Preventing creosote build-up: Creosote is a tar-like substance that builds up when the organic
compounds in smoke condense onto cooler ue surfaces. Left to build up over time, creosote will
restrict the airow of the ue and impair the performance of your heater. The production of smoke
is at its highest when a fresh fuel load is added or when the air control is at its lowest position. The
most eective way to control the creosote formation is to burn the heater so as to ensure as complete
combustion as possible and at the same time promoting higher ue temperatures. Smoldering res
should always be avoided.
The amount of charcoal in the ash is often a good indicator of how well you are operating the heater.
If there is no charcoal and only very ne ash, then you are doing an excellent job. If there is a lot of
charcoal you may be turning the combustion air down too soon after refuelling, or not raking the
charcoal to the combustion air inlet, or turning the combustion air down too low to support ecient
combustion, or all of the above.
REMEMBER: THE HOTTER THE FIRE, THE LESS CREOSOTE FORMATION.
When you have mastered the techniques for ecient wood burning, here is what you should see:
1. When wood burns it should be aming until only charcoal remains. If there are no ames, something
is wrong.
2. Firebricks in the rebox should be tan in colour, never black.
3. Steel parts in the rebox should be light to dark brown, never black and shiny.
4. With seasoned wood, correct air settings and proper loading arrangement you should expect quick
ignition of a new load of wood - the bottom pieces should be aming by the time the door is closed.
5. The glass door should be clear. A discoloured glass indicates that the wood is too wet or the air control
has not been left open long enough.
6. The exhaust coming from the top of the ue system should be clear or white. A plume of blue or
grey smoke indicates smouldering, inecient combustion, air pollution and probably low operating
temperatures.
Correctly installed and operated, Jayline solid fuel heaters do not spill smoke into the house. There are
three main reasons why some woodstoves smoke:
Bad installation design: Incorrect ue installation, resulting in low ue temperatures and low draught,
can make a wood heater more likely to spill smoke. For example, ue systems that run up the outside
wall of the house and are not correctly insulated can rob the heat from the ue and produce very
little draught. Each elbow in the ue pipe assembly slows down the ow of gases and causes a small
restriction to ow. When a ue system includes more than one elbow, the restriction can be enough to
cause spillage.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 9www.jayline.co.nz
Extreme negative pressure in the house: Energy eciency practices and new building code rules are
making our houses more and more airtight. This makes the houses energy ecient, but also makes them
more sensitive to negative pressure when air is exhausted from the house. Large, fan-forced exhaust
ventilators, like down-draught-type kitchen stove exhausts, can cause extreme negative pressure in
the house when they are operating. Because new houses are tightly sealed, there are few holes to
allow replacement air to enter, and the house pressure becomes negative. This negative pressure works
against ue system draught. In severe cases, the negative pressure in the house overcomes the ue
system draught and the appliance begins to spill smoke, especially when a re is started or when it dies
down to coals. To prevent this extreme negative pressure, one option is to open a window slightly to
allow combustion air into the room.
Improper heater ring technique: When a solid fuel heater is starved for air it smoulders, producing a
relatively cool, smoky re. The temperatures throughout the system are low. During a smouldering re,
the ue system will not be receiving the hot gas it needs to produce strong draught. When the heater
door is opened, smoke will spill into the room. A smouldering re is the single most common reason for
smoke spillage and totally unnecessary. By using the suggestions on proper ring technique earlier in
this document, you will be able to avoid these smouldering res.
puRCHASING THE FIREWOOD
The quality of the rewood you burn can have a dramatic eect on the eciency and operation of the
heater. The main factors that aect the burning characteristics of rewood are moisture content, tree
species and piece size.
The moisture content of the wood aects the rate at which it burns and the eciency of combustion.
When trees are cut, the wood moisture content ranges between 35 and 60 per cent by weight. If
you attempt to burn wood this wet it will be hard to ignite, slow to burn and will hiss and sizzle in
the rebox. So much energy will be consumed in boiling o the excess water that the eciency of
combustion and the heat to your home will be low, condensation and corrosion may be occurring in the
ue and smoke may be causing problems to your neighbours. Properly seasoned wood ignites readily
and burns eciently.
plEASE NOTE: WOOD WITH A MOISTURE CONTENT OF 25% OR LESS IS THE ONLY APPROVED WOOD
TO USE IN CLEAN AIR ZONES
Firewood should be cut and split in the early spring and stacked under cover, with good ventilation,
to be ready for burning when required.
Look for checks or cracks in the end grain as a sign of dry wood. The stacks of rewood should be in an
open area so that air can circulate through them. During the summer, as warm breezes ow through the
stacks, carrying away the evaporating water, the moisture content of the wood will fall to around 20 per
cent. At this moisture content the wood is ready for burning.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 10www.jayline.co.nz
Although the energy content of dry wood per kilogram is almost the same regardless of species, softwoods
and hardwoods burn dierently because of dierences in density. Softwoods, such as pine, are less
dense than hardwoods like gums, Manuka or Black Wattle. A denser wood will produce a longer-lasting
coal bed, while a less dense wood will bring a re to an optimum burning temperature more quickly.
The size of the rewood pieces aects the rate of combustion. Larger pieces ignite and release their
energy more slowly than small pieces. Smaller pieces are better for short, hot res and larger pieces are
preferable for extended ring cycles. In general, commercial rewood dealers supply rewood in thicker
pieces than modern wood-burning heaters can handle. It is often necessary to split some of the wood
again before using it. The thickest piece size for high-eciency heaters should not exceed about 150mm
(6 in.) across the largest dimension and a range of smaller pieces will be needed for eective stoking.
Maximum log length varies according to model.
BuRNING COAl
Due to their construction, the burning of coal in Jayline solid fuel heaters is prohibited. Please also refer
to ‘Exclusions’ in the Warranty Page 13.
JAylINE WOOD FIRE MAINTENANCE
To keep your re burning clean and ecient it is important that you carry out regular maintenance.
General maintenance checks should include the following:-
ASH REMOVAL - Due to the high eciency of your Jayline re, ash removal should only be necessary
every few weeks. Ashes can be removed easily through the re door when the re is at its lowest, such as
rst thing in the morning, or when it is completely out. Always use a metal container to remove ash from
your re as ash can maintain high temperatures for several days. Jayline res work best when a small
amount of ash (approximately 40mm deep) is left in the rebox after cleaning. This insulates the bottom
and prevents the base of the rebox overheating and burning out. In fact, building up the ash bed helps
extend the long burn cycle, while reducing the ash bed encourages greater heat output.
SURFACES - Jayline wood res have high temperature painted surfaces which just need wiping to clean
when the re is cold.
FIREBOX - Check the rebricks, top bae and interior surfaces. These parts are subjected to considerably
high temperatures and stress and some parts will eventually need replacing.
DOORS - Check all gaskets used for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust door tting if required.
LUBRICATION - All moving parts should be lubricated with graphite grease every couple of months.

NOVEMBER 2012 page 11www.jayline.co.nz
CHIMNEy ClEANING AND CHECKING FluES
For all wood res, ue cleaning must be done regularly to avoid serious ue res. Frequently used res
should be cleaned at least once a year (some sooner). The cleaning rate, however, depends on the
burning habits of the individual operating the wood re. For example, it is possible to clog a ue in just a
few weeks if smouldering res are burnt and the ue is run cold.
It is recommended that ue sweeping be done by a professional chimney sweep. Chimney sweeping is a
specialist task and competent professional sweeps are available throughout the country. When the ue
is cleaned it is recommended that other parts, such as baes, are checked.
Flue systems should be checked at least once or twice a heating season. Flue systems may require
checking more often if the fuel or operation of the appliance is incorrect. When a ue system becomes
excessively blocked or requires frequent cleaning, advice should be sought to investigate the installation
and the operation of the re. Flue pipes can deteriorate very quickly with incorrect ring.
