Installation Instructions

This appliance should only be installed by a trained and NZHHA qualified installer.

Warning: the appliance and flue system shall be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 2918 and the appropriate requirements of

relevant building code/codes.

Warning: appliances installed in accordance with this standard shall comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 4013 where re-

quired by the regulatory authority, i.e. the appliance shall be identifiable by a compliance plate with the marking “Tested to AS/
NZS 4013”.

Any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in writing by the testing authority is considered to be in breach of
the approval granted for compliance with AS/NZS 4013.

Caution: mixing of appliance or flue system components from different sources or modifying the dimensional specification of
components may result in hazardous conditions. Where such action is considered, the manufacturer should be consulted in the
first instance.

Caution: cracked and broken components e.g. glass panels or ceramic tiles, may render the installation unsafe.

Warning: do not connect to an unvented hot water system.

Install in accordance with AS 3500.4.1 or NZS 4603 and the appropriate requirements of the relevant
building code/codes.

 Maintain a clearance of at least 1 metre between front of the appliance and building structure or

any other substantial immovable object.

 If the appliance is installed on a heat sensitive floor, the floor should be protected with an insula-

tion floor protector, which shall extend entirely beneath the heater. For the correct floor protector
extension, refer to dimensions Q & R in FIG 1 & 2.

 Your appliance shall be seismically restrained, including the floor protector using the provided

holes or brackets. The restraints should be sufficient enough to resist a seismic loading equal to

0.4 times the mass of the appliance. We recommend a minimum of 8mm Dynabolts on concrete
floors and 8mm coach screws for wooden floors of appropriate length.

Minimum Flue Height

The top of the flue system should be at
least 600mm above the highest point of
the roof ridgeline, if the point of
intersection of the flue system and the
roofline is less than 3 metres from the
ridgeline horizontally.

If the point of intersection of the flue sys­tem and the roofline is greater than 3 me­tres horizontally, the top of the flue system
shall be at least 1 metre above the point of
intersection with the roofline. (refer FIG 3)

These are considered to be minimum dimensions, and depending on local conditions,

taller flue system heights may be required for satisfactory performance.

Installation requirements for fireplace inserts and flue system where timber framing
is less than 50mm from the chimney structure.

Installation should be carried out by a qualified installer who will ensure:

 That the minimum clearances determined by tests in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001

are complied with to prevent overheating of nearby combustibles.

 That the minimum opening size of 600mm wide x 600mm high x 506mm deep is

available when firebricks are removed, and that extra provision also be made for plumbing
where a hot water booster is fitted (where permitted).

 Where the fireplace opening is in a heat sensitive wall, a non-metallic heat
resistant material shall extend not less than 50mm beyond each side of the
appliance and 150mm beyond the top of the appliance.

 Clearance of at least 1 metre between the front of the appliance and building structure, or

any other substantial material object.

 That the insulating floor protector of non-combustible material is provided,
extending not less than the dimensions shown in the chart. (Refer Fig. 1 & 2)

 A fireplace appliance shall not be connected to a flue common with an open
fireplace.

Operating Instructions

(Burning Wood)

Keep these instructions for future reference

Important: ensure installation instructions have been adhered to before lighting the

appliance.

Important: firewood should be loaded in a front to back direction when operating this
appliance.

Warning: any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in writing by
the testing authority is considered as breaching AS/NZS 4013.

Warning: do not use flammable liquids or aerosols to start or rekindle the fire.

Warning: do not use flammable liquids or aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance when

it is operating.

Warning: do not store fuel within heater installation clearances.

For your comfort, it is advised that you light your first fire with the windows open to al­low the escape of paint fumes. This will normally happen for the first 30 minutes of the
first burn.

Fully open the heat control. Place wood kindling and paper or firelighter in the firebox.
Ignite and leave the door partially open by resting on the catch until the fire is blazing
(4-5 minutes), and burns well with the door closed. Do this only from a cold start. Once
the fire is underway, adjust the heat control to suit. If the firebox or the flue becomes
visible red-hot, adjust the heat control to a lower heat position to avoid being unneces­sarily harsh on the unit as well as wasting excessive heat up the flue.

Warning: always open the heat control before opening the fire door.

For long holding operation in a Clean Air Zone, level the ashes and load with the fire­wood lying front to back. After loading new wood, operate the fire with the heat control
fully open for 20 minutes before closing the heat control to the lower burning position.
By following this simple method of low burn firing, you will achieve very low emission
rates and obtain the high efficiency burn that is associated with this product.

The fuel approved for use in Clean Air Zones in this appliance is wood with a moisture
content of less than 25% of dry weight. This usually means green timber left for at least
three months to air dry.

Caution: the use of some types of preservative-treated wood as a fuel can be hazard­ous.

Caution: this appliance should not be operated with cracked glass.

Caution: this appliance should be maintained and operated at all times in accordance

with these instructions.

The door must be closed at all times during the operation, except during
refuelling and occasional poking of the fire when necessary. Ensure door seals
are maintained in good condition.

Your appliance and flue system should not be modified in any way without the
approval of the manufacturer.

Creosote Formation

A small intense fire is preferable to a large smouldering one, to reduce the amount of
creosote. When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapours, which
combine with expelled vapour to form creosote. These creosote vapours condense in the
relatively cool flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The flue should be checked at least every 2 months, during the burning season, to
determine if a creosote build up has occurred. If this is the case, it should be removed
by a chimney sweep to reduce the risk of an unexpected flue fire.

Your appliance has been designed to produce low levels of creosote at high and low
settings.

In the event of a chimney fire, close the firebox door, fully close the heat
control, vacate the premises and call the fire service.

Storage of Fuel

Do not store fuel within installation clearances or within the space required for refuelling
or ash removal.
Wood should always be stored in a dry place out of the rain. We recommend your wood
be seasoned for at least 3 months before use. Dry wood also burns hotter and more ef­ficient than wet wood.

Consumables

Some parts of your JAYLINE IS500 fire are considered consumable. They are designed
to be replaced as they will degrade over time. The life of the consumables will vary de­pending on;

 Frequency of use. How often the fire is used
 Rate of burn. Is the fire burning on low or high the majority of time
 Type of fuel. Some woods and coals are much harsher than others.
 Level of ash. High levels of ash can push embers up and over rear air tubes

General items that are considered consumables:

 Baffles
 Fire bricks
 Air tubes
 Glass and door ropes

It is very important that you replace these parts when they show sign of wear. They ef­fect how the fire runs and you may increase your fuel consumption or lower your effi­ciency if not replaced, and can in some cases, damage the firebox. It is generally obvi­ous once a part is in need of replacement. Steel components may split or large holes
may appear, fire bricks may crack and disintegrate. We recommend you check your fire
visually several times a year for damaged components.

Caring for your Fire

Cleaning your Glass

Wiping your glass regularly with a damp cloth when cold will keep the glass clean. If a
thick build up of creosote builds up, oven cleaner works well to remove it.

Cleaning the Outside of the Fire

The JAYLINE IS500 is finished in a high temperature paint. Only use a damp cloth (no
chemicals) when cleaning the outside of the fire. If any scratches occur, you can easily
touch up the fire with an aerosol can of matching paint. This is available from your re­tailer or Harris Home Fires.

Cleaning the Flue

Keeping your flue clean is important. We recommend that you have your chimney swept
at least once a year. A blocked flue not only effects the performance of the fire, but can
also be a hazard as you are susceptible to chimney fires.

Ash Level

It is important to maintain a 2 - 3cm level of ash in the bottom of the fire for insulation
purposes. But do not let the level get too high as you run the risk of logs and coals fal­ling out of the fire. You also get less wood in the firebox.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal once cooled.
