Jetmaster Installation into an Existing Fireplace

Step 1.

Measure the width, depth and height of your recess, too large or too small a

recess presents no problem at all.

Too Large

– The recess can be reduced by inserting bricks at the sides,

and/or back, and, where necessary, between the top of the unit and the

underside of the lintel.

Too Small

– The recess can be made deeper by removing the Rollback

and Smokeshelf. If the sides have to be removed this can be done,

however, it is suggested that an experienced builder carry out this work,

as the sides support the inner flues of the chimney. If the height is too low,

remove the lintel and replace it at the required height.

Step 2.

Check that your chimney is clean and free from obstructions. From the

measurements taken select the size of your Jetmaster.

Step 3.

Any cracks or cavities in the recess must be repaired and sealed.

Step 4.

Tape the insulation to the back and sides of the Jetmaster, and slide it into

place.

Note 1. Do not recess unit by more than 110mm.

Note 2. Do not have exhaust openings at top of unit obstructed.

Note 3. Do not have air intake at bottom of unit obstructed.

Step 5.

It is a good idea to light a fire at this stage, to check that all is well.

Step 6.

Seal the unit into position with either silicone, a metal flange, or masonry.

Allow masonry work to dry for minimum of three days before lighting the fire.

A decorative gas log fire must not be installed

where the operation of any ventilation system, fan or air blower could under

any circumstances cause the air pressure to be less than atmostpheric at the

appliance, or otherwise adversely affect the operation of the appliance.

•  Do not block or restrict chimney or flue opening.
•  After installing the appliance, check that the chimney/flue system draws well.
•  Jetmaster recommends that all gas fires be serviced every 2 years.
•  All gas units must be fitted by a licensed gas fitter.
•  It is the responsibility of the gas fitter to follow the regulations set out in the Gas

Code that dictate the procedures to follow when installing a gas appliance,

particularly regarding gas pipe sizing and checking of pressures. (see summary

page)

• For installation of the gas burner, see instruction manual supplied with gas burner.

AS4566 (AG604) must be fitted to the

end of the flue pipe. The minimum

flue length must not be shorter than

3.5 metres. Maintain a minimum of

500mm from the bottom of the flue

cowl to the nearest part of the roof

if the flue cowl is at least 1m from a

neighbouring structure. If less than

1m, the flue terminal must be located

at least 500mm above that structure.

Refer to AS5601 - 2004 (AG601)

sections 5.13.6.2 and 5.13.6.4 to

ensure that the location of the flue

terminal fully complies for installations

with a trafficable roof, a chimney,

HOW TO SET GAS PRESSURES

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR CAMPFYRE LOG

GRL-24, GRL-700, GRL-830, GRL-850

It is critical that all gas products be properly installed. Proper installation must include:

1.  Vent configuration in line with requirements stated in manual.
2.  Vent cap/terminal meets all clearance stated in manual.
3.  Gas pressure is checked and adjusted at the time of installation.

Note:

Pressures must be checked and adjusted to the correct specified

pressure otherwise warranty will be invalid.

The pressure is measured on the gas valve and the regulator can be adjusted by turning the

screws on the gas valve located either side of the pressure test points. (Refer to diagram

in installation manual).
If the gas pressure is not checked it can lead to “sooting”, “delayed ignition” or performance

issues. Proper gas outlet pressure ensures that the fireplace is operating within the

standards it was tested.
Ensure that the gas pressure does not change when other gas appliances in the home are

activated. If the “inlet” pressure into the gas fireplace was to change when other appliances

are activated this will cause the pilot flame to reduce in size, drop the millivolt output and

possibly cause the unit to shut down.
Reminder: The inlet pressure of the gas fireplace is an unregulated pressure. Only the

outlet pressure is held by the regulator located on the front of the gas valve.
Once installation is complete, it is imperative to do a smoke test to ensure that the gas

fumes are consistently drawn up the flue.
* This page does not take the place of the manual for each individual product, but is merely

stressing the above points. Always read and understand the manual prior to installing

any fireplace product.

Thank you for ensuring that our products are installed and operated safely.

Pressure “taps” are located at the face of the valve. There are two taps, one marked “

”

and the other marked “

OUT

”.

- To check gas pressure simply turn the brass screw located in the “

OUT

” tap

counter clockwise several turns.

- Hook up a manometer tube to the “

OUT

” tap.

- Turn the fireplace on and turn the flame adjustment (if applicable) to high. The

outlet pressure should be set to the pressure stated on the

compliance plate on the floor of the unit.

- Turn the fireplace off.
- Remove manometer tube from “

OUT

” tap.

- Tighten the screw by turning clockwise until snug.
- Soap water test to check for gas leaks.

OPEN GAS JETMASTER

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 first fire could result in a few odours coming from the firebox.

Do not be alarmed. This is not unusual when first using a metal finished 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.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR

IRONBARK, STANDARD COAL, TOPAZ & DELUXE LOGS & COALS

Put manometer onto test nipple on regulator and adjust regulator to 1 kpa with burner on

high.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR

SUPERCOAL

-  Test point for outlet pressure is located on the on the left of the gas valve.
-   Adjust to pressure stated on compliance plate.
-  Check unit on low setting.

SUMMARY TAKEN FROM THE GAS INSTALLATIONS

AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS

AS5601-2002 AG601-2002

IMPORTANT: THIS IS A SUMMARY ONLY. THE GAS FITTER MUST REFER TO

THE GAS INSTALLATIONS AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS IN DETAIL.

Appendix F Sizing Consumer Piping

- New Consumer Piping Systems

When sizing a new consumer piping system, consideration should be given to

foreseeable future needs.

- Existing Consumer Piping Systems

When an additional appliance is to be connected to an existing consumer piping

system, the existing piping, metre and regulator should be checked to ensure that

adequate capacity is available for the additional load.

- Information Required Prior To Pipe Sizing

The following information is required prior to pipe sizing:
a.  The type of gas, including the heating value and relative density.
b.  The gas consumption of each appliance.
c.  An allowance, if any, where there is a probability that not all appliances will be

used at the same time.

d. The pressure available at the start of the consumer piping.
e. The allowable pressure drop shall be such as to ensure that at least the

minimum inlet pressure required by the appliance is available at the appliance.

f. The proposed layout of the consumer piping system including all pipe lengths

and the location of each appliance.

NOTE:

See tables in this appendix

OPEN GAS JETMASTER

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

General Maintenance

The visible parts of your Jetmaster can be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft brush. Should

you wish you could repaint the unit with a heat resistant paint.

Safety

The Jetmaster is a safety-tested unit. However, you must never leave an open fire unguarded.

Jetmaster has a screen that is designed to prevent sparks leaving the fireplace and very

resistant to being accidentally knocked over by young children.

Fuels

1. Medium density woods are preferred for open fireplaces. Softer woods (Pines etc)

burn fast, leaving a lot of ash and creosote. Hard woods (Red Gum etc) can be

best used when mixed with medium woods and should not be used to start a fire.

2. A split log will burn better than a full log.
3. Wood should be stored (seasoned) in a dry ventilated area for at least 12 months.

“Green” wood can have 50% moisture, which results in a very poor heat emission.

Box woods (e.g. Grey Box and Yellow Box) are highly recommended as they

produce fine coals.

Burning well seasoned medium density wood is the most important step

towards achieving optimum results from your JETMASTER!

HOW TO FIT FASCIAS

1. Use lugs and bolts provided and attach to flange on firebox.

2. Use masonry plugs and drill through corners of fascia and attach to bricks.

3. If neither of the above is suitable, then use heat resistance bonding silicon.

Note:

Mantelpiece will hold fascia in position.

100mm Stainless Steel Trim Method for Attachment

1. Score the back of the stainless steel trim and the surface to which the trim will be

attached, to allow the two surfaces to adhere well to each other.

2. Place a bead of Silicone onto the back of the stainless steel trim.
3. Place another bead of Liquid Nails around the outer edge of the frame.

This will cure quickly and hold the frame into position.

4. Clamp the trim onto the unit for 24 hours until the adhesives have cured.
