Jetmaster 18f User Manual

Whenlightingthere,theaircontrolshouldbeopenedfullybyslidingtheoperatinglevertotheopenposition.
Oncethereisestablished,theoperatinglevermaybeslidbacktoapositionwheretheairsupplyisasfar
closed as possible while maintaining smoke or fume clearance and the glass clear. Whenever fuel is added to
there,theairsupplylevershouldonceagainbeopenedfullyuntilthefueliswellalight.
Whenoperating the reona weak ue(asin some bungalowswith relatively short chimneys)the optimum
position of the air supply lever may be half open or more.
Withuesofgreaterefciencyortallerchimneys,smokeclearancemaybepossiblewiththeairsupplyleveralmost
completely closed. Note that in the latter case, a small area is left open to guarantee chimney ventilation.
Damping Down for Longer Periods
Donotbankupandclosetheairsupplyonahotre.Therighttechniquecomeswithalittleexperience,and
varieswiththefuelbeingburnt.Allowtheretodiedownbeforebankingupwithfuel.Neverclosetheairsupply
fully when leaving overnight.

Seasonal Use
Inthesummermonthsorattimeswhenthereisnotbeing
used then the air supply lever may be closed to eliminate
draughts and to minimise the air loss from the room.
Fuels
The table shows the recommended fuel sizes, weights and
refuel interval to achieve the outputs given in the installtion
data table in accordance with EN13240: 2001.
Recommended Fuel Types
Wood(RecommededandapprovedfuelforretomeetrequirementofEN13240:2001)
“Green”woodhasahighmoisturecontent,whichmakesitdifculttoburn,andreducesnetheatoutput.
Buyingaloadofgreenrewoodmeansyoumayhavebeenbuyingasmuchwaterasyouarewood.Whenwood
is burned, the water content is converted into steam. The large amount of heat necessary to do this accounts for
the reduction in useful heat. Air-drying, or seasoning, reduces moisture content, thus making it easier to burn.
Wheregreenwoodmustbeburned,rstbuildtoastrongheattoensurethatenoughexcessheatisproduced
to dispose of the moisture.
The readiness of wood to burn depends on the density and the size of each piece. Denser hardwoods are
generally better than softwoods such as pine, which when dry burn fast and split. A split log will catch and burn
better than a full round log. Only well seasoned wood should be used. This also helps to burn off more of the
tars, and to reduce the build up of tar deposits.
Thereburningratecanthusbecontrolledbytheamountoffuelthatisusedthesizeoffuelandtherefuelling
interval as well as the control of the air supply lever. Kindling wood will burn fast, split logs at a medium rate and
whole logs a little slower. So by mixing the sizes that are burnt and used in conjunction with the air supply control
thererateofburnandhenceoutputcanbecontrolled.
Any of the dense hardwoods are recommended such as:- Birch, Beech, Hornbeam, Oak, Ash, Elm and numerous
others not mentioned.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Tomaintainthenishwipewithasoftdampclothonly.Do not use abrasive cleaners, polish or solvents as these
candamagethesurfacenish.
The visible front parts of the stove can be repainted with heat resistant black paint. These parts can be repainted
every1or2yearsasrequiredbutgenerallydustingwithasoftbrushshouldkeeptherelookinggood.The
interiorofthereboxandthegrateshouldnotbepainted.
Glass Door
If over a period of time the glass door starts to soot then this maybe cleaned with a proprietary cleaner available
from your dealer.
ALL CLEANING MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE APPLIANCE COLD.
