Fuels
The quality of firewood is extremely important. How long a tree
has been felled or dead for does not indicate how dry the wood
is.
The best way to dry wood is to split it and expose the inner core
allowing the sun to dry the wood naturally.
Good wood merchants will split the wood for you, but may not
season it for you.
The amount of you pay for your wood does not justify how dry
the wood is. The only way to know how dry your wood is, is to
use a moisture meter measuring from the inner core of the
wood.
Only burn wood under 20% moisture. Anything over 20% and
your wood heater will not work efficiently. The energy from the
fire will be used to reduce moisture in your wood and not
produce heat for your house.
Store your wood for at least 12 months after your have
purchased it. Your wood should be at a perfect moisture level, of
around 15 to 20%. Never burn treated wood or painted wood.
Cleaning
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 heat bank generating
more heat than the burning logs. This ash bed also insulates and
greatly extends the life of the Log Pan. This is why an ash bed
must be maintained at all times.

TO AS MUCH OF THE SURFACE OF THE FUEL AS POSSIBLE.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
When the level of the ash bed 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!
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.
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.
