OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Your JETMASTER fireplace is designed not to smoke and by following a few instructions
you will achieve optimum heat output, convenience and fuel economy.
Please note that the rst re could result in a few odours coming from the rebox.
Do not be alarmed. This is not unusual when rst using a metal nished product and
will soon cease.
LIGHTING A FIRE
1. Using a number of crumpled sheets of newspaper, some kindling and a few small
split logs arrange your fire in a “Teepee tent” style.
2. With the tool provided, fully open the DAMPER by pulling the control lever towards
you. (Not always applicable with Double Sided Firebox.)
3. Light the fire at both ends as well as at the centre.
4. When the kindling and small split logs are burning well, start to build up your fire
with larger split logs.
5. When the fire is well established you can start closing the Damper. The amount
you can close it will depend on the type of wood used and the general weather
conditions. Experience will soon show you how far; however, the damper should
never be closed more than half way.
6. When the fire has gone out completely, you can close the Damper fully thus
preventing any loss of heat from the room up the chimney.
CLEANING
1. The Jetmaster Log Pan is designed to give greater heat and fuel efficiency. For the
duration of the cold season the Log Pan should never be emptied. The resulting
bed of ash and coals from previous fires will soon become a heatbank generating
more heat than the burning logs. This ashbed also insulates and greatly extends
the life of the Log Pan. This is why an ashbed must be maintained at all times.
When the level of the ashbed becomes too high, the top layer can be removed.
Depending on frequency of use and quality of wood, this skimming procedure
should not be required more than once or twice a Season!
2. To prevent chimney fires as well as enabling the chimney to draw properly, the
chimney/flue should be swept at least once a season, subject to the quality of
timber used in the fire.
