Mark 3 Gas Coal Fireplace
Jetmaster gas coal burners are fuel effect appliances intended for use in a fireplace suitable for the burning of wood. It is recommended that the Jetmaster gas log be placed in a properly installed Jetmaster Convector firebox in order to ensure an adequate draught and greater efficiency. The Jetmaster open fire is an approved open fire to burn wood. The following size fireboxes are available for the Type 1 Burner to be inserted into. The firebox can be installed into an existing fireplace subject to the chimney being the appropriate size and in sound condition. The firebox can also be installed from new with a gather and a flue.

Location Requirements
-
The fireplace construction must be non-combustible and in accordance with the current Building Regulations for chimney and fireplace intended for solid fuel use.
-
The flue and/or chimney should be tested and proven to have an adequate updraft which shall be sufficient to remove all waste products of combustion. A minimum cross-sectional area of 40,000 sq mm is required with a minimum chimney flue height of 3.6 meters. The installer must satisfy himself that the fireplace is functioning properly and a smoke test is recommended. When using a Jetmaster firebox the appropriate diameter flue for the model fireplace should be used.
-
The appliance must comply with AG601 Gas Installation Code.
-
In cases where a twin walled metal flue is used and provided such flue shall comply with the clearances specified in AS2918 or manufacturers instructions in respect of clearance to combustibles.
-
In cases where a metal is used, such flue shall comply with the standards relating to grade, quality and thickness as are current.
-
An approved flue cowl with a minimum cross-sections of 40,000sq mm shall be affixed to the top of the flue or chimney.
-
The installer must remove or fix in an open position any damper which may be affixed to or contained in any fireplace.
-
It should be noted that the Code AS2286 (space heating appliances-secondary guards) requires a dress guard to be affixed to the appliance or fireplace.
-
Ventilation. An opening to outside with a minimum free ventilation area of 400sq cm shall be provided for each decorative gas log fire.
NOTE: The chimney in which the appliance is installed is not to be considered as a ventilation opening. -
The appliance shall be installed into a fireplace with a minimum opening of 600mm width and 217mm depth and shall be no greater than 10650mm width and 400mm depth.
-
Combustible materials to be no closer than 100mm either side of fireplace opening and no closer than 150mm above the opening. The firebox should have a non combustible hearth in front of the firebox.
Installation: Fitting the Gas Grate
- Check unit is suitable for intended gas supply.
- The position of the gas control and inlet is on the right hand side. A regulator is supplied when fitting to natural gas. A gas cock must be fitted prior to the burner to enable the unit to be removed for servicing. (It is recommended that the fireplace and chimney be cleaned prior to fitting the gas unit).
- In an existing fireplace or Jetmaster firebox (if being used), drill a 15mm hole through the right hand side of the fireplace (as you face it) at a point of 85mm from the base and 85mm from the front face.
- Cut and debur both ends of pipe. Fit the end to the gas supply point and turn on for approximately 5 seconds to clear the pipe of any dirt or grit. Fit the other end to the gasunit.
- The regulator supplied and attached to the appliance is for natural gas.
- Turn on the gas and check all connections for leaks using soapy water for approved method. Fix any leaks.
- This appliance is approved for use only on Natural Gas and must not be converted to any other gas.
- This appliance is approved for use only on Natural Gas and must not be converted to any other gas.
Adjusting Pressure, Pilot and Low Fire
- All settings are set to operate at appropriate pressures (see data plate). Test point is located on gas valve.
- Check low fire if adjusted correctly.
- The pressure can be measured on the gas valve and the regulator and be adjusted by turning the screws on the gas valve located either side of the test pressure points. See below (A) and (B)
Lighting Instructions
PILOT FLAME IGNITION
- Depress and turn control knob to the PILOT position.
- Depress the control knob fully and at the same time light pilot by depressing piezo button to create spark to pilot. Maintain pilot by continuing to hold button in for 20 seconds. Release button and check that pilot stays lit. If it goes out repeat ignition procedure.
MAIN BURNER IGNITION
- Depress and turn control knob anti-clockwise from PILOT position to the ON position.When the automatic solenoid valve is energised, gas passage to main burner is opened. Once burner is on, knob can be turned to low FIRE position to obtain minimum gas flow.
TURNING MAIN BURNER OFF WITH PILOT BURNING
- Depress and turn control knob clockwise from on position to PILOT position.
TO TURN PILOT AND MAIN BURNER OFF
- Depress and turn control knob clockwise from PILOT position to OFF position.
Laying the fire
- Unpack the coals contained in a clear plastic bag and lay a row of coals on the vermiculite along the back of the burner tray leaving approximately 12-15mm between them.
- Leave spaces at the edges to allow free flow of gas.
- Place a further row of coals directly in front of the first row but staggered so that the second row of coals are behind the gaps of the first row leaving approximately 12-15mm between the rows of each coal.
- Lay further rows of staggered coals depending on the size of the basket grate.
- Once the bottom layer is completed, build up 2-3 tiers of coals in a honeycomb pattern to form an elongated pyramid.
- Lay the coals so that some irregularity to the pile through which the flames may lick,is created.Your aim is to build “windows” into the fire through which the radiant effect may show but at the same time, not leaving such large gaps between the coals that excessive air may enter and “damp down” the red glow.
- After the fire has been alight for 15 minutes,you may wish to add the odd coal or even relay the fire completely. Allow to cool before touching the coals.
- Experience will enable you to obtain a pleasing appearance with suitable heat output, but please bear in mind that it is important to maintain the general pattern described above and included in illustrations.
Note: Use coals supplied by the manufacturer as other coals may effect combustion performance.
Commissioning Procedure
Installed correctly the burner should not emit any fumes into the room. The following procedure should be undertaken to test that the unit is operating correctly.
-
After unit has been operating for a short period a smoke match, smoke tube, carbon dioxide analyser or similar should be directed at the top opening of the unit.
-
This procedure should be undertaken with the following conditions in the room:
• Open or closed windows
• Operation of extraction/exhaust fans, range hoods etc
• Operation of other gas appliances
• Operation of optional appliance fan at any speed. -
Should any spillage be detected the cause must be rectified before allowing commissioning of unit.
