Always use good quality firewood. It gives the best results
and does not damage the product.
Never use the following on the fire:
- household waste
- painted or impregnated timber - which is very toxic
- laminated wooden planks
- drift wood
- plastic or any other type of waste product
These may harm the product and are also pollutants!
Note! Danger of overheating: The stove must never be used
in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating is defined as
firewood and/or leaving the draught vent fully open.
The chimney draught should never exceed 2,5 mm H
when the stove is in use.
A sure sign of overheating is when parts of the stove glows
red. When this happens, reduce the draught vent opening

Maintenance

Cleaning the glass

From time to time it is necessary to clean off the
accumulated ash from the inside surface of the glass. The
amount of soot which may deposit on the glass might
depend upon the local amount of draught present or the
regulation of the top air control.
Some good advice! For general cleaning, use some kitchen
roll - soak it with hot water, and dip it into some ashes. Rub
the glass with the paper, and you will see that most of the
soot will disappear. Rinse the glass with clean water and
dry completely before burning the stove. If it is necessary
to clean the glass more thoroughly, we recommend a "Glass
cleaner".

Ash removal

• Open the fire grate using the loose handle.
• Take out the ash pan (fig. 7).
• To return the fire grate to its place, use the tip of the
handle in the track and carefully put down the grate.
Preferably clean out the ashes only when the fireplace
is cold.
By the way - ashes are an excellent fertilizer.

Cleaning and soot removal

During use of the stove, soot may deposit on the inside
walls. Soot insulates a lot and will reduce the heat output
of the stove. To avoid a build up of creosote or condensed
water, it is important on a regular basis to increase the
heating to dry out the deposit.
At least once a year, perform a routine maintenance check.
A good time to do this is when you are cleaning the chimney
and connector.

Cleaning the flue pipe

With a rear flue outlet, lift off the top plate and brush the
pipe through the top.
With a top flue outlet, the baffle plate has to be taken
down by lifting it a little forward and to the side, and edging
it down. You may let the baffle plate rest on top of the
bottom plate until the cleaning is finished.

Control of the stove

Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface
areas for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and
that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets
showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.
