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.
Wooden floor protection
Jøtul F 600 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.
