User manual JOTUL F 600

[. . . ] Safety notice: If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area. Environment Protection Agency's Emissions limits for wood heaters manufactured and sold after July 1, 1990. Under specific test conditions, this heater has shown heat output at rates ranging from 13, 500 to 45, 900 BTU's per hour. [. . . ] Once the stove has reached a surface temperature range of between 400° and 600°, adjust the primary air control lever as necessary to generate the heat output and burn time desired. The optimum surface temperature range for the most efficient burn is between 400° to 600°. When wood is burned slowly and at low temperatures, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with moisture to form creosote. The slow moving smoke carries the creosote vapors, which condense in the cooler chimney flues, and this creosote then sticks to the chimney walls. A qualified chimney sweep or other authorized service person can provide this service. It is also important to remember that chimney size, temperature and height all affect draft which in turn affects the formation of creosote. Be sure to follow the installation and operation guidelines established in this manual. For your protection always wear safety gloves when handling the ash pan. ash removal will be required periodically depending on how frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F 600 is equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy ash removal, without the need for opening the front doors. When the stove is in operation always close the ash door before leaving to dispose of the ashes. The ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall the glass clips. Important: The side of the glass treated with an infrared coating (marked on the perimeter) should always be facing outward. it is extremely important to tighten the glass clips slowly and in a repeating pattern , like tightening the lugs on an automobile wheel. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the stove has burned and the gasketing has been seated. Replacement glass panels can be ordered through your Jøtul dealer. On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly ash are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended period of time it could eventually cause the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any creosote, which might deposit on the glass, should burn off during the next hot fire. [. . . ] It is always an advantage if some ashes remain in the burn chamber as a protective layer against the oven base. Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the stove during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore reduce the stove's heat output. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to get the best heating effect from the product. [. . . ]
