How to reposition the deflector on a JOTUL F 600 wood stove?

Question

Accepted Answer

To reposition the deflector of your JOTUL F 600 stove, start by ensuring that the appliance is completely turned off and cooled down to avoid any risk of burns. The deflector consists of 2 cast iron plates that rest on the ducts of the double combustion chamber and ensure optimal smoke circulation.

If you need to access the deflector, first lift the removable oval top plate of your stove, which greatly facilitates access to the inside. To reposition the deflector after inspection or cleaning, place the two cast iron plates by aligning them correctly on the ducts of the double combustion chamber.

During reinstallation, insert the plates slightly tilted, then gently push them down while holding them firmly in the middle to guide them into position. Check that both plates are snug against the back wall of the firebox - this is essential to ensure correct smoke flow and optimal efficiency of 80% for your appliance.

After repositioning the cast iron plates, replace the ceramic fiber insulation that covers them. This thermal insulation is important to protect the stove's structure and maintain energy efficiency. Ensure that it is properly positioned over the entire surface of the plates.

Once the deflector is reinstalled, close the oval top plate and perform a test: light a small fire and check that the draft is working normally, with no smoke escaping from the firebox. If you notice abnormal operation, the deflector may not be correctly positioned - check that it is snug against the back wall.
