Paint Curing and Care
Your heater is coated with the best available heat resistant paint. Even though
t
he paint has been baked after application, it may require further temperature
c
uring. It may, if you overre the heater on its rst re, discolour. For your rst
t
wo or three rings, never exceed medium air setting and always have the fan
o
n when above low burn. Do not wipe the heater while the paint is curing. After
t
he paint has cured the only maintenance required to maintain the heater’s nish
i
s to wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not use any commercial cleaners or solvents on
t
he paint nish.

Firewood
Getting the most out of your rewood
Firewood is a sustainable source of energy and when used correctly can provide a cost eective 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 Tilga.
Thermal eciency
A wood’s eciency 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 eciency and longer burn cycle out of your Jindara Tilga, 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.

An example of available thermal eciency 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 eciency 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 Tilga enables you to achieve maximum comfort and eciency from your Australian made wood heater.

Troubleshooting
• Noisy Fan
Turn the power o and remove the three pin plug from the power point. Remove door and carefully place to one side.
Remove the four M8 Cap Screws that hold the fascia onto the rebox. Remove the fascia. Remove switch mount panel.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the wing 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
are rmly connected. If the fan still fails to function, remove the fan and switches by rstly removing knob o 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 fan. 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 air slide 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 and spacers are on the bolts 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 that 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
!
Overring
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 ok, shift focus to the fan or the switches.
Move thermostat switch into the ‘Override’ position, and select one of the three fan speeds. If the fan fails to function,
isolate power as above, remove fascia to gain access to loom. Check that the terminals on the loom and both switches
• 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 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.
• Excessive smoking - smoke entering the room maybe caused by:
• Insucient length of ue (Flue 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.

Clearance to combustibles & Zero Clearance Cabinet (ZCC) installation
Below, Figure 2 shows an example of how the Eureka Tilga Insert with ZCC should be placed in relation to combustible
materials - plaster, wallpaper, timber, MDF etc. These clearances from the ZCC to combustible materials must not be
reduced.
In the instance non-combustible or re retardant material is used, clearances to the appliance can be reduced.
It is recommended that a clearance of 25mm or larger between the appliance is always achieved to ensure air can
circulate around the wood heater during operation.
Cladding
The front wall of the enclosure between the appliance base and the rst noggin (1000mm above appliance base) must
be clad with non-combustible material such as cement sheet, villaboard or Bellis Board of minimum 9mm thickness.
This non-combustible cladding must extend horizontally a minimum of 62mm either side of the ZCC.
It may be more practical to clad the entire front face of the enclosure with 9mm non-combustible material.

Removing the fascia
• Turn the fan power off, and removed the three pin plug from the power point.
• Open the door 25mm and lift door off hinge, place door on a soft flat surface.
• Undo x4 M8 button head cap screws which attach the fascia to the main firebox.
• Gently lift the fascia away from the front of firebox, but do not pull away fascia completely, leave the fascia rest on the hinge while
removing the fan switches.
• With the fascia resting on hinge, reach behind the switch panel and undo x2 wing nuts and remove switch panel.
• With switch panel removed, fascia can now be completely moved away from the heater to gain access to the fan and wiring looms.
Hearth & oor requirement
If the Jindara Tilga will be installed directly onto a non-combustible oor such as brick, stone or concrete slab with tiles, etc.
which extends beneath the appliance as well as 550mm in front of the appliance fascia when in position, a hearth or oor
protector may not be required.
If the Jindara Tilga is to be installed directly onto a combustible oor, a minimum 18mm thick non-combustible hearth or
oor protector (cement sheet, Bellis Board, Hebal, stone or masonry, concrete etc.) must be placed in between the appliance
and the combustible oor.
At a minimum, the oor protector must extend 550mm in front of the appliance fascia. It should continue beneath the ZCC to
a minimium overall depth of 1185mm and must be 945mm wide.
Elevated installation
Masonry
In some instances is may be desirable, or required that the Jindara Tilga Insert be installed into an existing replace which is
raised above a combustible oor. In this situation, the minimum required hearth can be reduced to the corresponding
elevated height dimensions mentioned in Table 1.
Scenario - The appliance is to be installed into an existing brick masonry replace which is situated 100mm above a
combustible oor, at this height the minimum required hearth depth is 450mm in front of the appliance fascia. (refer Table 1.)
ZCC
In the instance the ZCC is raised in a combustible enclosure, the structure used to support the appliance at its desired height
must be constructed out of non-combutible material (steel tube, c-section, Hebel etc.), and must be able to withstand the
combined weight of the Jindara Tilga Insert, the ZCC and the ue system (in excess of 250kg combined).
When the appliance is raised 175mm or more above a combustible oor, a 300mm non-combustible hearth or oor protector
is always required as per AS/NZS 2918:2001.

Installation (Continued) Maintaining & Servicing your Jindara
Cleaning your ue (It is recommended that you seek the services of a licensed plumber to carry out ue maintenance).
Firstly and carefully remove cast iron plates and bae system and put to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 150mm
ue brush from your local Jindara Dealer and proceed up onto the roof. Remove the cowl. Slowly push the brush down
the chimney 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 chimney until it reaches the bottom.
The soot and creosote will fall down the chimney and into the rebox. Clean residue from rebox. Replace the bae plate
rst, 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 suciently 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.
ZCC Installation notes
The Jindara Tilga has been factory fitted and attached inside the ZCC. Depending on your desired installation type, whether
it be at ground level, or elevated for a mid-wall installation, the following sequence of installation steps may need to be adjusted
to suit.
• Select the position that you wish to install your Jindara Tilga Insert ZCC, carefully allowing for flue clearances of 305mm in the
roof cavity (the outer flue being 255mm requires a 25mm clearance on either side to combustibles, making overall clearance of
305mm), and allowing for sufficient clearances for combustibles where rear and side walls may play a role in the installation
process.
• Ensure there is access to a power supply inside the enclosure for connecting the fan in the heater. In some instances an
extension cord maybe required to reach a power supply. Please keep in mind that the fan will need to be removed for cleaning,
and access to the power supply should be made relatively easy.
• Remove door (open door handle and swing door open to roughly 45deg and lift off hinge), remove cast iron liners and baffle
system from inside the firebox to reduce overall weight of unit.
• Using a 5mm allen key, remove x4 M8 cap screws which attach the fascia to the firebox. Carefullly remove the fascia and place
to the side. Removing the fascia allows the ZCC to be mounted flush with the front of the enclosure face for a flush fascia finish.
• If installing at ground level onto a combustible floor surface, place required floor protector under the desired position of the
ZCC than carefully lift the ZCC into position.
• Fit flue system to upstands and appliance. Install through roof as per flue manufactur’s instructions, and terminate at the
required height above the roof line, fit cowl. Note: the base of the active flue will need to be trimmed and sealed with fire cement.
• Build your frame around the ZCC maintaining the clearances listed previously.
• Enclose the front of the frame with minimum 9mm non-combustible cement sheet, villaboard, bellis board, etc.
• Enclose the sides of the frame with plaster, timber, MDF, etc.
• Install the mantle if required as per mantle clearances on page 6.
Note: If mantle is made out of combustible material, the Jindara Tilga must have it’s hot air deflector attached to the fasica.
• Re-attach removable fascia & door.

Adjusting door hinge
The door hinge denes 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 3 x M8 Bolts securing the hinge to the heater. The upper bolts 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 the alignment of the door by measuring vertically from the underside of the
door at each outer edge, to the base of the unit, as per figure 11-2. 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 13.
• 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.

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.

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 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. 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.)

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 10.
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 10.
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 eciency 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.
