3.0 Safety precautions

3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other combustible materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never extinguish it with water.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not present a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation of
outdoor air in the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
An inadequate air supply could cause flue gas to escape into the
room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked!
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room.
However if ventilation to the outdoors is connected to the
fireplace, the use of mechanical fan vents will not affect the use
of the fireplace.

4.0 Installation

Note! Check that the stove is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing it.
4.1 Assembly prior to installation
The product is delivered in one package. A loose handle for the
door is also included. The oval top plate is fastened with screws
during transport.
A heat shield for the floor shall always be used.
A heat shield for the back can be ordered and mounted depending
on the position of the fireplace and the desired distance to
combustible materials. See fig. 1.
1. Remove the screws from underneath the top plate and leave
it unattached. This makes it easier for the chimney sweep
when the product and the flue pipe have to be cleaned.
2. Undo the ash lips, which are fastened to the top, and install.
The one in front is placed loosely on top of the base plate,
while the side ash lip is fastened with the screw that is
attached to the base plate.
3. Fasten the heat shield under the middle using 2 M6 x 12
screws, see fig. 5.
Mounting of flue pipe
It is advisable to carry out a test assembly prior to making a hole
in the chimney. See fig. 1 for measures to wall made of flammable
materials. The stove is installed with a 150 mm diameter flue pipe.
This must be an approved thickness.
The flue outlet for Jøtul F 600 is inside the burn chamber during
transportation. You can choose between a top or rear outlet from
the flue pipe. The screws for fastening are in the bag containing
screws.
• Flue pipes 150 mm dia. are placed directly onto the product
flue outlet. There is a screw on both sides of the product flue
outlet (fig. 3A). These are used to fasten the flue pipe.
• Mark where the screws hit the flue pipe when it is at the very
bottom of the flue outlet and drill a 5,5 mm hole for the screw
in the flue pipe.
• Use gasket to seal between flue pipe and product flue outlet.
Place the gasket around the lower part of the flue pipe and
fill up the space with cement.
• Fasten the flue pipe with screws.
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed. Air
leakage etc. may lead to malfunction.
4.2 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights.
Combustible floor protection
If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, cover
the floor under and in front of the fireplace with a plate made
of metal or other non-combustible 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 authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.3 Walls
Distance to wall made of combustible material
- see fig. 1.
You may use the fireplace with an uninsulated flue pipe provided
the distances to walls made of combustible materials are as
shown in fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
