Safety notices:
• Be sure to read this entire manual before you install or
use your new Jøtul F 500 woodstove.
• If this room heater is not properly installed, a house
fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage, bodily
injury, or even death.
• Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul F 500
installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning
appliances.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room
where the stove is operating. Operating an exhaust fan
or a clothes dryer could create a low pressure area,
causing poisonous gases to come out of the stove into
the room.
• You can prevent low pressure conditions by providing
adequate combustion air within 24" (610mm) but not
closer than 12" (305mm) from the stove. Or, simply
install the optional outside air manifold system, which
allows the direct connection of air from outside the
house to the stove.
• Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Some
fuels will, during combustion, separate carbon
monoxide and generate it in the burn chamber. Carbon
monoxide is toxic, so please follow the guidelines in
this manual for proper operation of your Jøtul F 500.
• If you for some reason experience smoke "roll-out"
from the stove, it may activate smoke detectors if
installed in the house.
