The Jayline FR300W is a clean air freestanding wood fire designed for heating residential spaces. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring efficient performance and compliance with safety standards.
Function Description:
The Jayline FR300W serves as a primary heating appliance, burning seasoned wood to generate heat. It is designed to meet clean air requirements, indicating efficient combustion and reduced emissions. The fire operates on a cycle, converting wood into a coal bed, and is intended for continuous use with proper firing techniques. The appliance can be used for both quick, hot fires to take the chill off a room and longer-burning fires for extended heating periods. Some models may also be equipped with a water booster for domestic hot water heating, which must be a specific Jayline model to comply with clean air requirements and warranty conditions.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Installation Standard: Must comply with AS/NZS 2918:2001 and any additional local requirements.
- Emissions Performance: Complies with AS/NZS 4013:1999 where required by regulatory authority.
- Flue System: Requires a vertical flue system with as few offsets as possible. Minimum length of 4.6m from the top of the floor protector to the cowl. Flue exiting more than 3 meters from the ridgeline must terminate no less than 1 meter above the roof penetration. If the flue pipe is more than 2 meters above its highest fixing point, it must be stayed against high winds.
- Clearances to Combustible Walls:
- Single Layer of continuous material with minimum Air Gap of 12mm: clearance factor of 0.40.
- Single layer of continuous material with minimum Air Gap of 25mm: clearance factor of 0.30.
- Two spaced Layers of continuous material with minimum Air Gap of 12mm + 12mm: clearance factor of 0.20.
- Shielding must be open at the top and bottom (vented) for continuous air flow.
- Water Booster (if applicable): Jayline SS280 PW 3.1kW Water Booster (#302838) must be used. Must be fitted by a Certifying Plumber to a low pressure, open vented water storage system or an indirect system (heat exchanger). Cylinder should be no more than four meters from the woodstove. Hot water outlet (top pipe) should rise a minimum of 1 in 12 to the hot water cylinder. Cold water return should drop to the water booster inlet (lower pipe). Pipe work must be 25mm diameter and lagged. A Tempering Valve must be fitted if connected to an existing or new cylinder.
- Fuel Type: Seasoned wood with a moisture content of 10-25% is recommended for clean air zones. Kiln dried fuel (less than 10%) will not burn as long. Burning coal is prohibited. Preservative-treated wood or driftwood is hazardous.
- Wood Piece Size: Thickest piece size for high-efficiency heaters should not exceed about 150mm (6 in.) across the largest dimension.
Usage Features:
- Starting a New Fire: Requires a small quantity of newspaper, a packet of firelighters, and a quantity of finely split, dry soft wood kindling. Load kindling in a crisscross pattern. Open air control fully, light firelighters/newspaper, and close but do not latch the door. Latch door after 5-10 minutes when wood is flaming brightly.
- Adding Firewood: Add small pieces of firewood (loaded front to back) when kindling flames subside, avoiding smothering.
- Rekindling from Coals: Rake charcoal evenly. Place small pieces of wood on and behind coals. Open air inlets fully until wood is well charred.
- Air Control: Adjust air setting to produce desired heat and burn length. Reduce air control setting in two or three stages for less air pollution.
- Door Operation: Always open the fire door slowly to allow fresh air to enter and maintain the smoke path.
- Fuel Load Geometry: Small pieces arranged loosely burn quickly. Larger pieces placed compactly burn slower. Top up frequently with about 25% of a full load for maximum temperature efficiency.
- Fire Cycles: Plan firing cycles around household routine. Build small, hot fires for quick warmth or long-burning fires for extended heating.
- Long-Burning Fire: Rake embers evenly, use larger pieces of wood in a similar pattern to small hot fire, ensuring a gap for combustion air. Open air inlets fully for 15-30 minutes, then reduce air control in stages.
- Baffle: Ensure the baffle is in the correct position before using the appliance.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Maintenance: Important for clean and efficient burning. General checks include surfaces, firebox, doors, and lubrication.
- Ash Drawer Technique (if equipped): Lift plug from firebox base when fire is cold. Sweep ash into ashbox. Retain an ash bed of 30-40mm in the firebox. Ensure sliding rails are free of debris. Replace ashbox with lid in open position and pushed to the rear. Re-fit plug ensuring no air leaks.
- Ash Removal (manual): Necessary every few weeks due to high efficiency. Remove ash through the fire door when fire is lowest or out. Use a metal container as ash can retain high temperatures. Leave approximately 40mm deep ash bed to insulate the bottom and prolong firebox life.
- Surfaces: High temperature painted surfaces can be wiped clean when the fire is cold.
- Firebox: Check firebricks, top baffle, and interior surfaces for wear. These parts will eventually need replacing.
- Doors: Check all gaskets for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust door fitting if required.
- Lubrication: All moving parts should be lubricated with graphite grease every couple of months.
- Chimney Cleaning: Must be done regularly to avoid flue fires, at least once a year for frequently used fires. Professional chimney sweep recommended.
- Flue System Checks: Check at least once or twice a heating season. More frequent checks may be needed if fuel or operation is incorrect.
- Consumables: Parts that degrade over time and need replacement include baffles, fire bricks, air tubes, glass, and door ropes. Check visually several times a year for damaged components.
- Warranty: 15-year conditional warranty on the firebox (12 months for door seals, glass, glass seals, fire bricks, secondary air systems, and baffle). Requires annual inspection and servicing by a suitably qualified fire technician. Registration within 30 days of installation is required.
