3.0 Safety
NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul stoves
must be fitted by a qualified installer.
Any modifications to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning
and safety of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
•
The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplace are given in fig. 1.
•
Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 metre of the fireplace.
•
Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
•
The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
•
Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
•
Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
•
Close all hatches and vents.
•
Keep the firebox door closed.
•
Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
•
Call the fire service.
•
Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
3.2 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fireplace.
See "1.0 Technical Data" for specified weight.
We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("floating floors") beneath the installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring beneath the fireplace
The product has integrated floor protection and may therefore
be placed directly on a wooden floor.
Any inflammable floor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets, etc.
must be removed from under the product.
Requirements for protection of inflammable
floors in front of the fireplace
The front plate must comply with national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.3 Walls
Distance to walls made of combustible material - see fig. 1a for
Jøtul F 471, F 473, F 474 and F 475. See fig. 1b for Jøtul F 476.
Distance to combustible wall protected by firewall: See fig. 1c
for Jøtul F 471, F 473, F 474 and F 475. See fig. 1d for Jøtul F 476.
The fireplace may be used with an uninsulated flue pipe
provided the distances between the fireplace and walls made
of combustible materials are as shown in fig. 1.
Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not too
close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be placed
within 1000 mm of the fireplace.
NB: Pay particular attention to this when using revolving
pedestal!
3.4 Ceiling
If the ceiling above the fireplace is made of a combustible
material, the minimum distance between the fireplace and
ceiling must be 1000 mm.
