5.6 Wood consumption
Jøtul F 400 ECO has a nominal heat output of ca. 7 kW. Use
of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,84 kg/h. The
size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 30-40 cm
Diameter: 2-5 cm
Amount per fi re: 8-10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Length: Ca 30 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8-12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 55 minutes
Size of the fi re: 1,83 kg (nominal effi ciency)
Amount per load: 2 pieces
The given testresults have been obtained by loading 2 logs á
30 cm, total weight of 1,83 kg.The logs are laid across. Valve
set for about 50 % air.
The maximum amount of fuel specifi ed in this manual
should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess
smoke.
5.7 Danger of overheating
The fi replace must never be used in a manner that causes
overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too
much air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of
overheating is when parts of the fi replace glow red. If this
happens, reduce the air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further
information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and fl ue pipe).
5.8 Removing the ashes
• Only remove ashes when the fi replace is cold.
• Use a showel to scrape the ashes out, but always leave
a little ash at the bottom of the combustion chamber as a
protective insulating layer.
• Ashes should be placed outside in a metal container.

pan (B) and empty the ash into a suitable container, then
replace the ash pan.
5.9 How wind and weather aff ect the
stove
The performance of the stove can be aff ected considerably by
the wind acting on the chimney at diff erent strengths. It may
therefore be necessary to adjust the air supply to ensure good
combustion performance. It might also be a good idea to install
a damper in the fl ue pipe so that the chimney draught can be
regulated according to the strength of the wind.
Fog and mist can have a signifi cant impact on the chimney
draught and it might be necessary to use other combustion air
settings to ensure good performance.
