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 overre 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 heaters nish
i
s to wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not use any commercial cleaners or solvents on

Troubleshooting Installation
(Continued)
• Smoke entering the room from the rebox when the door is open may be 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 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 you run the he
ater. 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 signicantly reduced.

Installation Troubleshooting
Corner Installation
Standard Installation
(Continued)
• Noisy Fan
Turn the power o and remove the three pin plug from the power point.
Remove the four screws that hold the front fan access panel. Remove the panel.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the nut 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 rmly connected. If the
fan then fails to function, remove the fan and switch by rstly removing the knob o 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 and switch. Convey the same to the authorised Eureka Dealer from whom you purchased your unit for service.
Replace in the reverse order.
• 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 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 he
ater. 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 the sealing strip, which is on the face of the rebox. If it is uneven
and it appears as though air could leak through the seal, adjust the thickness of the door rope to suit. Stretch the rope to
make it thinner where the indentation is the heaviest and bunch up the excess where the indentation is smaller.
Check the four bolts that hold the glass retainer in position. If loose tighten. Do not overtighten.
The door may become loose through the door seal shrinking. To tighten the door, open the door and look at the inside of
the
door shaft. Unscrew Allen key screw in door handle shaft. Rotate door handle shaft anti-clockwise when facing heater
(1 turn = 1 millimetre). Close door and lock. Open door and check door for even indentation from sealing strip. Repeat
process if required. Replace Allen key screw (check to ensure that roll pin is central in shaft.)
When closing the door you should now feel rm resistance when the latch comes into contact with the catch.

Cleaning your ue
Carefully remove bae plate and put it to one side. Close the heater door. Obtain a 150mm ue brush from your local
Jindara Dealer and proceed up onto your roof. Remove the cowl. Slowly push the ue 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 till it reaches the bottom. The soot and creosote will fall down the chimney and into the rebox. Clean
residue from rebox. Replace the bae plate. Make sure you do the job well. The cleaner the ue the less chance there
will be of the creosote sticking again. After you have replaced the cowl, inspect the roof ashing for any damage that
may have been incurred whilst you were cleaning the ue. Reseal the seal on the roof with roof and gutter silicone if
required.
The fan
It is recommended to run the fan while the heater is operating above low burn on low speed. For extended periods when
the heater is running above medium re, high or boost is recommended. Boost is recommended for short bursts where a
quick temperature rise is desired in conjunction with a high re setting. The fan should be cleaned on a regular basis.
(Refer Troubleshooting for fan removal and cleaning.)
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, Jindara reserves the right to disallow any
warranty claims in relation to rebox failure.
WARNING
!
The Door
Leaving Door Open
As stated previously in relation to leaving door open 25mm to encourage 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.
Flue Installation
T
he ue system must comply with Australian and New Zealand installation standards AS/NZS 2918:2001, and
i
nstalled to the ue manufacturers instructions.
T
he preformance of your Jindara Barossa is highly reliable on an eective ue system. In many cases poor start-up,
d
irty glass, down draft which causes smoking when door is open, and a reduction in heat output can all be related
t
o ue been too short, or incorrect installation. Too tall a ue can result in excess draft and short burn times along
w
ith excessive heat output.
T
he rear wall clearances mentioned above have been achieved with the following ue specications.
1. 150mm – rear wall clearance with an AS/NZS 2918:2001 approved ue kit, which incorporates a
decroative surround which is unperforated for 180 degrees of its circumference. Additionally a 180
degree x 900mm stainless steel heat shield located inbetween the 6” active ue, and decroative
surround (supp
lied with woodheater).

APPLIANCE OR RESULT IN A FLUE FIRE.
Read these instructions
Operating your Jindara Wood Heater
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 and, turn the fan on to low speed.
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 Cure’.
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.
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.
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
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. 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 nd 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 260mm 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 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 rebox and ue.) Set the air control to the setting you have
found best for your requirements. Turn the fan o 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.
