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.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved for
use with open door

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. 1A and fig. 1B.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1,05 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.

4.0 Installation

The Jøtul C 24 is a cassette stove that is designed to fit inside
an existing fireplace hearth (Fig. 1 B). This requires a minimum
hearth opening of HxWxD = 515x710x450 mm. If the frame is
placed on the outside of the hearth walls, the opening may be
reduced to HxWxD = 505x700x450 mm. NB! You must allow space
between the cassette and the masonry for thermal expansion
of the cassette stove.
The product also fits inside a new fireplace surround (Fig. 1 A). The
fireplace surround must have a minimum opening of HxWxD =
515x715x490 mm. It is also important to allow space for insulation
around the surround. If using a wide frame (optional extra), it will
overlap openings to HxW = 558x755 mm.
A narrow frame is included with the product. It is possible to move
this frame and a wide frame (optional extra) up to 40 mm to make
it easier to adapt the product for different flue pipe positions.
4.1 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fireplace.
See "2.0 Technical Data" for specified weight.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring beneath the fireplace
The Jøtul C24 has a heat shield underneath to protect the floor
from radiated heat. The product can therefore be positioned
directly on a wooden floor that is covered by a sheet of metal or
other non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0.9 mm. The plate must cover the entire floor surface
within the surround.
We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("floating floors") beneath the installation.
Any floor covering of inflammable material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirements for protection of inflammable
floors in front of the fireplace
The floor in front of the fireplace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-inflammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The floor plate must comply with
national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
