Assembly Prior To Installation - Jøtul F 118 Manual De Uso

3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for the
fi replace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specifi cation of weight.
It is recommended that fl ooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called fl oating fl ooring – is removed during
installation.
Wooden fl oor protection
Requirements for the fl oor plate:
If the product is placed directly on a wooden fl oor, the fl oor must
be covered by a metal plate or other suitable, non-infl ammable
material. The recommended minimum thickness is 0,9 mm.
Jøtul recommends that any fl ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the fl oor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
fl ooring in front of fi replace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws
and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements. (See Buildings Regulations.)
3.2 Walls
Distance to walls made of combustible material-see fi g. 1.
The fi replace is authorised for use with an uninsulated fl ue with
the distances to the wall of fl ammable material as shown in fi g 1.
Distance to walls protected by a fi rewall - see
fi g. 1
Firewall requirement
The fi rewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
Distance to non combustible wall
A non combustible wall is here mentioned as a non load-bearing
wall of cement /brick. Recommended distance: 100 mm.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
roof above the fi replace.
3.4 Chimneys and fl ue pipes
• The fi replace can be connected to a chimney and fl ue
pipe approved for solid fuel fi red fi replaces with fl ue gas
temperatures specifi ed in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
fl ue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel fi red fi replaces can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is suffi cient.
22
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fi replace should
be test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of
the fi replace and the hole in the chimney. See fi g. 1 for
minimum dimensions.
• Ensure that the fl ue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a fl ue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it to
be swept.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
fl exibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks. N.B. A correct and sealed connection is
very important for the proper functioning of the product.
The chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data». If the
draught is too strong you can install and operate a fl ue
damper to control the draught.

3.5 Assembly prior to installation

N.B. Check that the fi replace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fi replace.
The product is delivered in a single packing case where the legs,
heat shield(s) and door knob/vent knobs must be assembled.
A heat shield for the fl oor shall always be used. A heat
shield for the side or back can be ordered and mounted
depending on the position of the fi replace and the desired
distance to combustible materials. See fi g. 1.
When the product has been unpacked remove all loose parts
from the fi replace. Check the product for any physical damage.
• Unfold the cardboard packing and place the wooden pallet
on top. Carefully place the fi replace on its side. Mount the
four legs using screws and washers. (Fig. 2)
• The fl oor shall be protected from heat from the product using
the supplied heat shield.
Mounting the heat shield under the stove,
see fi g. 3
• Fasten the heat shield under the middle using 2 M6 x 12
screws (see fi g 3)
• Carefully stand the fi replace on its legs.
Mounting the heat shield on the side
(optional equipment), see fi g. 4
• Feed the upper clamps in under the top plate.
• Loosen the 2 M6 x 12 screws that are screwed into the
bottom of the fi replace (A), and use them to attach the heat
shield.
Mounting the heat shield on the back
(optional equipment), see fi g. 5
In order to be able to place the fi replace's rear wall closer to a
wall made from combustible material (see fi g. 1 ) a heat shield
can be mounted on the product.
• Remove the screws in the middle of the back-plate and
throw them away, see fi g. .
• Mount the heat shield using the screws and sleeves
