WARNING
!
Installation
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT AS PER THIS
MANUAL AND THE FLUE MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE A QUALIFIED INSTALLER TO CARRY OUT
THE INSTALLATION.
If you have any other enquiries, please contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your heater.
THIS APPLIANCE WEIGHS IN EXCESS OF 220 KILOGRAMS. EXTREME CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THE APPLIANCE.
AF Gason Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability whatsoever for any interpretation of AS/NZS 2918:2001.
It is important you understand these installation instructions and minimum clearances to combustible materials before
selecting a position for your Jindara Spectre to ensure safe and correct installation is achieved.
Installation permit
Depending on your local authority requirements, a permit may be required for the installation of your heater. It is your
responsibility to arrange the same.
Flue requirements
As per the dimensions in Figure 1, the Jindara Spectre can be installed with a Perforated 7” Default Flue Kit, or Figure 2,
a Solid 7” Default Flue Kit. In both instances, an additional 8” solid ue must be tted between the inner ue and outer
ue, to the height of the ceiling if any part of the unit is to be installed less than 1200mm from a heat sensitive surface.
The ue system installed with the Jindara Spectre must comply with Australian and New Zealand installation
standards AS/NZS 2918:2001, and be installed to the ue manufacturer’s instructions.
The performance of your Jindara Spectre is highly reliant on an eective ue system. In many cases poor start-up, dirty glass,
down draft which causes smoking when the door is open, and a reduction in heat outupt can all be related to the ue system
being too short, or incorrect installation. Too tall a ue can result in excess draft and short burn times along with excessive
heat output.
Clearance to combustibles
The Jindara Spectre module heater conforms to AS/NZS 2918:2001 when positioned in relation to combustible surfaces
as shown in Figures 1 & 2 on the following page. All dimensions used in this document are in millimetres and are minimum
unless otherwise stated.
These dimensions in Figures 1 & 2 state the minimum distance the Jindara Spectre can be placed in relation to any
combustible materials - plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF, etc.
In the instance your Jindara Spectre is surrounded by non-combustible materials - brick, stone, concrete, cement sheet,
villaboard or similar, wall clearances can be reduced to 50mm. A 50mm clearance is required to ensure room air can
circulate around the wood heater during operation.
For additional clearance details, or to access the Jindara Spectre Freestanding Conformance Certicate, please contact the
Jindara Dealer from whom you purchased your heater.
Hearth & oor requirements
If the Jindara Spectre will be installed onto a non-combustible oor such as a brick, stone or concrete slab with tiles, etc.
which is at least 32mm thick, and extends at least 570mm in front of the appliance base at each door, a hearth or oor
protector may not be required.
If the Jindara Spectre is to be installed onto a combustible oor, a minimum 32mm Bellis Board, or similar non-combustible
hearth or oor protector must be placed in between the appliance and the combustible oor. At a minimum, the oor
protector must extend570mm in front of the appliance base in both directions, with a minimum overall depth of 1890mm.
The protector must be at least 940mm wide.
Firewood
Getting the most out of your rewood
Firewood is a sustainable source of energy and when used correctly can provide a cost eective form of heating in your
home. Too often poor heating results and operational issues are attributed to using unseasoned wood which leads to
excess smoking, causing creosote buildup and dirty glass. Wood should be stored in a dry place where good ventalition is
available. Freshly cut wood should be stored for between 12-24 months before burning.
Use only hardwood with your Jindara Spectre.
Thermal eciency
A wood’s eciency does not depend only on its type, but also on its moisture content as well as the temperature of the
combustion chamber. To achieve a greater eciency and longer burn cycle out of your Jindara Spectre, without the emissions
of hazardous particulates, your wood must be well seasoned.
Ideally, wood should not be burnt when its moisture content is above 20%. A moisture meter to measure moisture content
is a handy addition.
0% moisture
100% thermal eciency
10% moisture
88% thermal eciency
30% moisture
63% thermal eciency
50% moisture
39% thermal eciency
An example of available thermal eciency for a piece of wood as a fuel source at varying moisture levels.
The combustion process of burning wood
When wood is heated up to approximately 100 degrees celsius, moisture begins to evaporate from the fuel. There is no
heating value from the wood at this point. As moisture releases from the wood, it reduces the eciency of the combustion
process robbing heat energy from the wood. This demonstrates the importance of dry and well seasoned wood.
As rebox temperatures reach 250-300 degrees celsius, wood solids begin to break down and release volatile gases which
ignite and produce heat.
From 300+ degrees celsius, the main energy available from wood is released when fuel vapors containing up to 60% of
the wood’s potential heat is released.
Understanding combustion principles and learning how to manipulate various conditions surrounding the operation of
your Jindara Spectre enables you to achieve maximum comfort and eciency from your Australian made wood heater.

Operating your Jindara
Troubleshooting
• Noisy Fans
Turn the power o and remove the three pin plug from the power point. Remove the door on one side of the unit,
then remove the fascia panel. Loosen the fascia ll panel retaining screws and lift panel up then out to remove.
Note that wiring and switches are atached to this panel. on one side.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the wing nuts which hold each fan in position and remove
the fans. 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 fans in reverse to the removal.
•Fans not working
and both switches are rmly connected. If the fans still fail to function, remove the fans and switches by rstly removing
the knob from the rotary switch by pulling it away from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch out.
Squeeze locator tabs together on the rear of the thermostat switch and push through outside of pedestal.
Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove the fans. Convey the same to the authorised Jindara dealer from
whom you purchased your unit for service. Replace in the reverse order.
• Air control jamming
Access to the airside is available when the door is opened.
There are three screws 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 o with ne wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and
edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers, springs and spacers are tted 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.
• No overnight burn
Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check if the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is
loose, tighten up the bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.
Check that the door rope has an even indentation from its contact with the face of the rebox. If it is uneven
and it appears as though air could leak through the seal,the door hinge and latch can be adjusted or the door rope may
need to be replaced. Refer door adjustments and rope replacement instructions.
WARNING
!
Overring
TO PREVENT OVERFIRING OF THE HEATER, NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE
DOOR LOOSE, OR SUCH THAT THE FIREBOX IS NOT AIR TIGHT. OVERFIRING COULD
RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FIREBOX AND FLUE SYSTEM.
Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is O.K. shift focus to the fan or the switches.
Move thermostat switch into the ‘Overide’ position, and select one of the three fan speeds. If the fans fail to function,
isolate power as above, remove pedestal ller panel to gain access to loom. Check that the terminals on the loom
• 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.
Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to burn it. If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may nd that after
running the heater say for 8 hours at maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. An overnight burn will reduce
this charcoal back to a ne ash. If you are not ready to shut down for an overnight burn when you next fuel the heater, load
the heater with only one piece of wood and lay it across the rebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control wide open
and you will nd the charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process until the ash level is
signicantly reduced.
• Excessive smoking - smoke entering the room maybe caused by:
• Insucient length of ue (ue to be 4500mm minimum underneath the base of heater to underside of cowl)
Increase height of ue
• Flue downdraught - Consult dealer or increase height of ue.
• Creosote build up in ue - Remove cowl and clean ue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of
wood.
Parallel Installation - At Floor Level
- Refer to gure 1:
7” Active Flue with an 8“ solid ue and a 9”
Perforated or Solid painted outer ue casing,
which extends from the top of the heater to
the drop box at the ceilling level.
Dimensions shown are minimum only, when
installed at oor level. Hearth reductions for
elevated installations are shown in table 1.

Installation (Continued)
The Jindara Spectre Module can be installed into various installations depending
on desire, or practicality. Figure 3 shows the appliance when installed
on a Bench. Use this image as a guide for inspiration, or installation tips.
All installations must conform as per dimensions on page 4, when installing on
or adjacent to combustible materials.
Under all circumstances, if installing the Jindara Spectre Module on a bench above a
oor comprising of combustible material, a minimum 6mm thick non-combustible
oor protector centred to the appliance at least 940mm wide, must extend 300mm
in front of the bench, and continue beneath the bench to meet the rear of the bench
or rear wall of the installation to conform to AS/NZS 2918:2001.
Take care not to scratch hearth, or bench during the installation process.
The bench is tted with x4 levelling feet which will allow for any hearth or oor
unevenness.

Fixing Module to Bench
• With Module on pallet, back off 2x retaining screws and remove
pedestal filler panel (each side) to gain access to transport screws.
• Remove tek screws holding base of the appliance to the pallet.
• Using the Module footprint dimensional guide (figure 4), mark
out the transport bracket hole centre on the bench.
• Double check the hole centre dimensions by measuring the
existing hole positions in the base of the module before drilling.
• Upon confirming centre hole dimensions, drill 4x holes using a
4.5mm diameter drill bit. Remove all swarf when complete.
• If it is desired that the power cord should exit through the base
of the unit, a hole saw must be used (minimum 50mm diameter)
to create a hole as shown.
• Carefully removed Module from pallet, and locate on bench
over drilled holes. (Remove top plate, door, cast iron liners and
baffle system to reduce overall appliance weight)
• Using 4x supplied tek screws, attach Module to bench.
• If central hole has been cut, use pinch weld supplied to cover the
edges of the hole, to protect the power cord from damage.
Note: Do not pass the power cord through the hole in the centre
until after all four retaining screws have been fitted and the pinch
weld is installed.
• Secure the power cord to in the base of the unit using the cord
grip grommet, as shown in figure 5.

Cleaning your ue
Firstly and carefully remove cast iron plates and bae system and put to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 180mm
ue brush from your local Jindara Dealer and proceed to the top of the ue. Remove the ue cowl. Slowly push the
brush down the ue until it stops. Pull the brush back out and repeat the process. Each time you do this you will notice
that the brush will go further down the ue until it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the ue and
into the rebox. Clean residue from rebox. Replace the bae platerst followed by the cast iron liners.
Make sure you do the job well.The cleaner the ue the less chance there will be of the creosote sticking again. After you
replace the cowl, inspect the roof ashing for any damage that may have incurred whilst you were cleaning the ue.
Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicon if required.
Cleaning the glass
Generally the only time you will possibly need to clean your glass is after a long overnight burn. If you nd that you have
a wet sticky black lm 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 suciently to
be wiped with a damp cloth.This should clean all the white smoky lm o 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 lm 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.
To maintain an ecient and safe use of your Jindara Spectre, you may need to
adjust the door hinge and catch over the duration of its life.
Adjusting door catch
• Open door to gain access to catch.
• Using a 3mm Allen key, remove the two catch retaining screws and set aside.
• To tighten the latch, remove one shim. To loosen the latch, t an additional shim.
• Additional shims are available from your Jindara dealer. Refer to gure 10-1.
• Once the desired setting has been achieved, re-t the catch assembly using the
two retaining screws.
• Note that if an adequate seal cannot be achieved through the removal of one
shim, a replacement door rope may be required.
Adjusting door hinge
The door hinge denes the door alignment to the heater and the door catch,
as well as determining the amount of pressure applied to the main door rope
at the hinge side of the door.
To align door:
• Slightly loosen 2 x M8 Bolts securing the hinge to the heater. The upper
bolt should be loosened 1- 1+1/2 turns, while the lower bolt should only be
loosened 1/2 a turn.
• Align door horizontally by pivoting the door about the lower bolt. Note
that there is no provision for lateral adjustment of the door hinge position.
• Check that the lower fill panel is square to the firebox by measuring from the
base of the fascia to each end of the ash lip. Adjust the fascia as needed if
measurements are not equal.
• Check the alignment of the door by measuring vertically from the
underside of the door at each outer edge, to the base of the fascia, as per
figure 10-2. This measurement should be taken with the hinge bolts
tightened and with the door hanging under its own weight.
To adjust hinge shims:
• Open door and lift free of hinge, and place on a soft at surface while servicing the hinge.
• Remove the door hinge and fasteners as shown in gure 12.
• Remove x1 hinge shim plate in order to tighten the seal of the door rope. The maximum number of shims permitted
behind the hinge is 2, fitted as standard.
• Fit door and re-align door to catch and firebox before fully tightening M8 bolts.

Operating your Jindara (continued)
WARNING
!
Operation of the Fan
If rebox failure is reported and it is found that the rebox has been abused
through improper use of the fan, AF Gason Pty. Ltd. reserve the right to disallow
any warranty claims in relation to rebox failure.
WARNING
!
The Door
Leaving Door Open
As stated previously, leaving door open 25mm encourages the re
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 nish can be damaged if the door is left open for a long period with a
full rebox of fuel with the fan o. 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 rebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a ’battering
ram’ to push the wood back into the rebox.Damage to the glass by such
impact is not covered by your warranty.
Fan operation
Your Jindara Spectre is equipped with a temperature-sensitive thermostat switch located within the heater’s pedestal beneath
the rebox, which when selected will turn the fan on and o depending on the temperature of the rebox.
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, ip 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.
It is acceptable to turn the fan 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.)

WARNING
!DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT READING AND
UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO
OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE UNDUE DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE OR RESULT IN A FLUE FIRE.
Read these instructions
Starting your re
Place a relighter or paper in the bottom of the rebox and place a large amount of small kindling on top. Ignite the
paper or the relighter. 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. For fan operation refer page 9.
On the initial re up you may detect smoke coming from the paint nish and from any oils that may be on the steel on
the outside of the rebox.This is normal. It is suggested to well ventilate your home on the initial re up. Please refer to
our section ‘Paint Curing and Care’ on page 2.
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 wood, you will have very little discolouration of your glass in normal burning cycle. If you aim
for an eight to ten hour 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 nd the right
position to suit your requirements and the fuel that you are using.
Daily 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
three or four pieces of wood on top of the embers and leave the door open 25mm. Once the fuel starts to ame close the
door. Depending on your daily heating requirements, operate the fan as per fan operation instructions on page 9.
For best results it is best to burn 410mm long wood and load your wood straight into the rebox front to rear.This will
give optimum eciency and recoverable heat, and minimise creosote formation and smoke emissions.
Overnight burn
Approximately 30 minutes before turning the heater down for the overnight burn it is recommended to load the heater with
fuel. Leave the air control in the Medium to High position. Let the heater run for about 30 minutes. This will reduce the
moisture content in the fuel before shut down. (This will help reduce the creosote formation in the rebox and ue.)
Set the air control to the setting you have found best for your requirements. Turn the fan o or to the thermostat control
position and retire. The aim when overnight burning is to have only a few hot embers left in the bottom of the rebox in
the morning, not huge lumps of wood.
