7.0 Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning and soot removal

Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using a
soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fireplace, you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating effect from your product. It is a good idea
to do this when cleaning the chimney and flue pipes.
7.2 Sweeping flue pipes to the chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening.
One of the baffles will have to be removed first in order to do
this. See Fig. 16 A.
7.3 Inspection of the fireplace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fireplace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. Check all visible surfaces
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.

7.4 Exterior maintenance

Painted products may change colour after several years' usage.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new paint is applied.
7.5 Lubricating the bearings
Fig. 35
If necessary, lubricate the door bearings with:
"WD 40" or "CRC 5-56" or a similar lubricant.
• Apply a small amount and wipe off any excess to prevent
drips.
