Troubleshooting (continued)
•Smoke entering the room from the rebox when the door is open may be caused by
•Insu cient 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 buildup in ue
Remove cowl and clean ue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood.
•Excessive ash build up
Some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how yourun 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. Overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to
a ne ash. If you are not ready to shut down for overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the
stove 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 signi cantly reduced.

• Noisy Fan
Turn the power and remove the three pin plug from the power point.
Remove the two screws that hold the front fan access panel. Remove the panel.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the two nuts which hold the fan in position and remove the fan.
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 fan in reverse to the removal.
•Fan not working
Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is okay assume the fan or the switch is
defective. Isolate the power as above. Check that the terminals on the loom and the switch are connected. If the
fan then fails to function, remove the fan and switch by removing the knob the fan switch by pulling it away
from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch out. Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove
the fan andswitch. Convey the same to the authorised Jindara dealer from whom you purchased your unit for service.

• Air Control Jamming
Lift up and remove the top plate.
Remove the air control knob by turning anti-clockwise. Lift the air control panel out of the way.
There are three bolts 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 wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and
edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers, spacers and springs are on the bolts when you screw the bolts back
into the face of the heater. Do notapply any type of lubricant to the air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and make the
slide stick.

Flue Installation
T
he ue system must comply with Australian and New Zealand installation standards AS/NZS 2918:2001, and be
i
nstalled to the ue manufacturer’s instructions.
T
he performance of your Jindara Kimberley is highly reliant on an e ective ue system. In many cases poor start-
u
p, dirty glass, down draft which causes smoking when door is open, and a reduction in heat output can all be
r
elated to the ue being too short, or incorrect installation. Too tall a ue can result in excess draft and short burn
t
imes along with excessive heat output.
T
he rear wall clearances mentioned above have been achieved with the following ue speci cations.
1. 100mm – rear wall clearance with an AS/NZS 2918:2001 approved ue kit, which incorporates a
decorative surround which is unperforated for 180 degrees of its circumference, also known as a
“Default Flue Kit”
F
itting the Ba e Plate
1. Feed the ba e plate through the door opening with front edge folded up,
feeding plate all the way to the rear of the heater.
2. Lift front over Pin A and slide towards front of heater.
3. Lift rear so the ba le plate is horizontal and move towards back
of the heater.
4. Lower over Pin B.
5. Ba e plate must be sitting on Pins A & B.
P
lacement of Cast Iron Liners into rebox
T
he rear cast iron liner is to be positioned to the rear with rib and logos facing into the rebox. Side cast liner are to
b
e positioned on the appropriate side and interlock into the rear cast liner. Fire bricks can then be installed.
P

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
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 reloadingthe 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 fanand
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.
