Wood consumption
Jøtul F 602 has a nominal heat output of 6,0 kW. Use of
wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 2,0 kg/h. Another
important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the
logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 30 - 40 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fire: 8 - 10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 40 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approx. every 45 minutes
Size of the fire: 1,5 kg
Amount per load: 2 pieces.
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 50%.
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
Jøtul F 602 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable 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 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.
3.3 Ceiling
Jøtul F 602 may be assembled with the upper edge of the hot
air aperture min 1200 mm beneath the ceiling of the flammable
material.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
• A chimney can be linked to the fireplace and flue approved
for solid fuel-fired fireplaces with a flue gas temperature as
specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the flue. Please use «2.0 Technical data»
to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
• Several solid fuel-fired fireplaces can be connected to
the same chimney if the cross-section of the chimney is
adequate.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks. N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very
important for the proper functioning of the product.
The chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data». If the draught is
too strong you can install and operate a flue damper to control
the draught.
