Jetmaster Open Wood Fire User manual

Damper
Blade Tool
The described method below is for starting a Jetmaster
using kindling, firelighters and small pieces of wood. The
use of firelighters is more desirable due to their
sustained burn time, effectiveness and ease of use.
Place one or two propping pieces along the back of the
logpan as illustrated in diagrams 1 & 2.
Place three or four firelighters in front of propping pieces.
Lay additional split logs as shown against the propping
logs and across the full length of the logpan.
Fully open damper blade using the damper blade tool. Pull
to fully open - push to fully close as in diagram 3.
Light all firelighters with long matches or a long nosed gas
firelighter. Be aware that new Jetmasters, on start up, will
emit an odor normally associated with heat.
Maintain a clear air
space in front of the
picket fence to assist
the burning action

Add larger hardwood eg Manuka, Gum or softwood as required.
Softwood is best to start the fire and Hardwood should only be used
once the fire is established with a good bed of embers. The best way to
maintain burn result is with a 50/50 mix of both types of wood.
The damper blade may be used to control the burn rate once the fire is
fully established with good base of embers - slightly forward of midway
position is ideal.
The fire is designed to operate at its optimum when the ash level in the logpan is approximately 50mm deep.
Maintain this ash depth at all times for best results and only remove excess ash when it spills over the
picket fence, which is designed to support large logs. Ensure the air gaps in the picket fence are clear by using
the end of the damper blade tool or a poker.

WARNING - TO AVOID WARPING YOUR JETMASTER 1200 OR 1500 LOGPAN
Do not light your fire without making sure you have a 50mm ash bed in the logpan, substituting a 50mm bed of
clean washed dry sand will make a suitable alternative. It is also recommended that each of the four corners of
the logpan be screw-fixed to the firebox base with 8mm tech screws or similar.
The preferred wood for starting the fire is dry split softwood eg. Pine
Your Jetmaster fireplace is designed to maximise radiated and convected heat - both of which may be
optimised by following these few instructions. Never leave a burning fire unattended.
Jetmaster Peace of Mind screens are an easy and useful guard against sparks as well as preventing
young children from the dangers of a fire.

Flues or chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year for best results.
Before cleaning a Jetmaster fire chimney and flue it is essential to remove the fire's damper blade.
Remove damper lever friction bar by unscrewing the two adjustment nuts on the friction bar (diagram 3). These
nuts are also used for tightening or loosening damper level control.
Push right hand side of damper upwards to relieve locating bracket pin. Slide damper fractionally to the right to
remove damper from left hand locating pin. Remove damper.
Clean chimney and flue upwards through smoke ducts, vacuum clean.
Reverse the above to reinstall damper blade.
It is also essential to ensure the cowl is cleaned at the same time as the flue.
Use high temperature black paint for touch-up purposes when required. Ensure all surfaces are cleaned and
either wire brushed or rubbed over with a scotchbrite before applying paint. Contact The Fireplace Ltd for
additional paint if needed.
