3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden flooring
If the stove will be installed on a combustible floor, a robust, solid,
non-combustible layer should cover the floor beneath the stove.
This layer should cover an area of at least 300 mm in front of the
stove door, and at least 150 mm either side of the opening. (See
Buildings Regulations in your country.)
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 authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Distance from the wall of flammable
material – cf. fig. 1
The fireplace is authorised for use with an uninsulated flue
with the distances to the wall of flammable material as shown
in fig 1.
Distance to the flammable wall protected by
a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of brick,
concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and structures
with satisfactory documentation may also be used, e.g. Jøtul
Brannpanel.
3.3 Ceiling
Jøtul F 118 may be assembled with the upper edge of the hot
air aperture min 1200 mm beneath the ceiling of the flammable

3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes

Choose a Flue Exit Position
Prior to making an opening in the chimney, the fireplace should
be set up as a test to ensure proper placement on the firewall in
relation to the chimney. See fig. 1 for dimensions of firewall.

Note! A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks.

3.5 Assembly prior to installation

N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
The product is delivered in a single packing case where the legs,
heat shield and the door bolt knob must be assembled.

Mark off hole for the flue pipe (pay attention to any rise
toward the chimney)and place the flue pipe outside the
smoke outlet of the fireplace.
Use a gasket to close the gap between the flue pipe and the
smoke outlet.
Drill a hole for the flue pipe. The distance from stove to
firewall/chimney shall be at least 100 mm.
Always use a chimney collar when connection to chimney. Use
the supplier's recommended chimney collar when connecting
to an element chimney.
Follow the supplier's assembly and usage instructions closely
with regard to mortar/furnace cement before starting to use
the fireplace.
Ensure that the flue pipe never leans towards the chimney. At
a minimum it shall be horizontal, preferably a few millimetres
climb.
Remove the top plate and all the separate parts, like baffle
plate and burnplates, inside the stove.
Place the cardboard packaging on the floor and lay the stove
carefully down on its side. Fasten the 4 legs with screws and
washers. (Fig. 2A.)
Fasten the heat shield in the 2 screws under the fire place
(Fig. 2B).
Raise the stove carefully.
The flue outlet and the cover plate exchange positions if one
of the smoke outlets of the sides of the stove is preferred.
(Fig. 3A-B.)
Assemble the burn plates by hanging them on the bosses of
the side plates (Fig. 4A).
Position the baffle plate ( see fig. 3). Be sure that the baffle
plate rests securely to the rear (3C).
Important note: If the baffle plate is positioned incorrectly, the
flue gas will go straight into the flue pipe. This will result in
too high flue gas temperatures, which may damage the rear
plate, and it will make heating uneconomical.
Connect the knob to the door latch with the screw and nut
provided. (Fig. 5A)
