3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring
Jøtul F 602 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Distance from the wall of flammable
material – cf. fig. 1
The fireplace is authorised for use with an uninsulated flue
with the distances to the wall of flammable material as shown
in fig 1.
Distance to the flammable wall protected by
a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of brick,
concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and structures
with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
3.3 Ceiling
Jøtul F 602 may be assembled with the upper edge of the hot
air aperture min 1200 mm beneath the ceiling of the flammable
material.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
•
A chimney can be linked to the fireplace and flue approved
for solid fuel-fired fireplaces with a flue gas temperature as
specified in «2.0 Technical data».
•
The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the flue. Please use «2.0 Technical data»
to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
•
Several solid fuel-fired fireplaces can be connected to
the same chimney if the cross-section of the chimney is
adequate.
•
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 fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
•
Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
•
Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility 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 flue damper to control
the draught.
3.5 Assembling the stove
N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
The product is delivered in a single packing case where the heat
shield and door knob must be assembled.
1.
Remove the cooking plate and all the separate parts inside
the stove. (Fig. 2)
2.
Place the cardboard packaging on the floor and lay the
stove carefully down on its side. Fasten the 4 legs with
screws and washers. (Fig. 3.)
3.
If it is necessary to protect the walls, use the enclosed heat
shield. Use the bracket to connect the side heat shield to
the base heat shield. Fasten the bracket in the center of the
base plate with a screw. (Fig. 4)
4.
Guide the flaps on the top of the side heat shield into the
groove under the top plate.
The flue outlet (fig. 5 A) and the blanking plate (fig. 5 B)
5.
exchange positions if the smoke outlet on top of the stove
is preferred. The two screws on the flue outlet may be
somewhat difficult to release. Hold on to the nut on the
inside with a small wrench of the flue outlet to release the
screws on the outside. Ensure all possible unused flue outlets
are suitably blanked off.
6.
Place the flue pipe's end outside the product's smoke outlet.
Fill any gaps between the flue pipe and smoke outlet with
suitable gasket.
Connect the knob (fig. 6 C) to the door latch with the screw
7.
and nut provided.
8.
Place the stove into its final position and guide the flue pipe
onto the stove's chimney collar and attach it.
9.
Follow the installation instructions given by the supplier
of the chimney.
