Operating Tips

Thank you for choosing to install a new Jayline Starfire wood burning fireplace insert in your home. You will

immediately notice an increase in heat output and a decrease in wood consumption when compared to

your old open fire.

You are also doing the environment a favour by burning less wood and emitting low levels of smoke when

you burn well-seasoned firewood. 14% to 20% moisture measured on dry weight is about perfect. Wet fire-

wood will cause excessive smoke and may cause your flue to start to block up with creosote quite quickly.

If you are unsure about the moisture content of your firewood, you can take a piece to any timber merchant

or joinery shop where they will use their moisture meter to give you an exact reading, often at no cost to you.

Installation:

A building consent from your local authority is required for all Starfire installations. This should be obtained

prior to commencement of the installation.

Installation should only be carried out by a trained installer. We recommend that any installer should be

trained and hold current qualifications with the New Zealand Home Heating Association. A list of NZHHA

Registered Installers can be found on www.homeheat.co.nz.

Full installation instructions for your new Starfire have been supplied. Please ensure that all safety require-

ments are followed.

Page 2 To light your new Starfire insert you will need a supply of dry newspaper, dry and finely chopped kindling wood and dry firewood pieces. Your Starfire insert has two baffles and this is one of the reasons why it has a very high heating efficiency.
Page 3 Operating: NOTE: It is important to follow these simple instructions when reloading the fire with dry wood to prevent smoke roll out. When reloading, have dry wood and your fire poker ready. Once the door is open, push back any unburned wood or ember towards the centre of the fire as shown in Fig.
