Frequently Asked Questions - F 371 Jøtul

How to install the Jotul F 371 stove?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified installer. Observe the minimum safety distances indicated in the manual (fig. 1a). The stove can be connected to a chimney with an approved flue. Ensure the floor can support the weight (approx. 156 kg). For details, see section 4.0 of the manual.

What type of wood to use?

Use dry wood (moisture < 20%) preferably from species like birch, spruce, beech or oak. The logs must not exceed 30 cm in length. Never use treated, painted wood or waste.

How to light the fire?

Open the upper and lower air inlets. Place two logs at the bottom, crumpled paper between them, and kindling. Light the paper. Leave the door slightly open if necessary. Once the fire is established, close the lower air inlet and adjust combustion with the upper air inlet.

How to adjust the air supply?

The stove has two controls: the upper air inlet (fig. 29A) and the lower air inlet (fig. 29B). Pushed = closed, pulled = open. Use the upper air inlet to adjust the combustion speed. The lower air inlet must be closed after lighting to avoid damaging the grate.

How to clean the glass?

Use a damp paper towel soaked in ash to rub the glass, then rinse with clean water. For optimal cleaning, use a glass cleaner, but do not spray it directly on the glass. A vigorous combustion reduces soot deposits.

How to maintain the stove?

Perform an annual cleaning of the inside of the firebox and sweep the flues. Check the condition of the seals and replace them if necessary. Clean the external surfaces with a brush. Use only original spare parts.

What to do in case of a chimney fire?

Close all dampers and air inlets. Keep the combustion chamber door closed. Check for smoke in the attic and cellar. Contact the fire safety services immediately. Have the installation inspected by a specialist before reuse.

What are the safety distances?

The minimum distances to combustible walls are indicated in fig. 1a. For example, for the basic model: distance to rear wall (a) = 440 mm, to side wall (b) = 1125 mm. Also maintain a clearance of at least 1000 mm to the ceiling.

How to replace the lining plates?

Lift the front edge of the baffle and tilt it outward. Remove the side and rear lining plates. Lift the movable grate and the source plate. Reverse the steps to reassemble. Use tools without damaging the vermiculite plates.

What to do if the draft is weak?

Check that the chimney has the required minimum cross-section and is not obstructed. Ensure the wood is dry. Open a window to improve the air supply. If the problem persists, contact a professional to check the chimney.

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 Jotul. 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.

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

3.2 Floor

Foundation

You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fireplace. See "2.0 Technical Data" for specified weight.

We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached to the foundation ("floating floors") beneath the installation.

Requirements for protection of wooden flooring beneath the fireplace

Jøtul F 370 Series (except from Jøtul F 374) has a heat shield underneath which protects the base from radiation. The product (except Jøtul from F 374 and Jøtul F 379) has an integrated floor protection and may therefore be placed directly on a wooden floor.

Any inflammable floor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. must be removed from under the product.

4.3 Chimneys and flue pipes

• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue pipe approved for solid fuel fired appliances with flue gas temperatures specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the flue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
  Several solid fuel fired appliances can be connected to the same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is sufficient.
• 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 it is particularly important that connections have a certain flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation leading to cracks.

Chimney draught; See «2.o Technical data». If the draught is too strong you can install and operate a flue damper to control the draught.

4.5 Control of functions

When the product is set up, always check the control functions. These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.

Jotul F 370 is equipped with the following controls:

Fig. 29

Air vent fig. 29 A

Pushed in: Closed

Pulled out: Open

Ignition vent, fig. 29 B

Pushed in: Closed

Pulled out: Open

Riddling grate (same handle as for the ignition vent) (Fig. 29 B) Right handle is pushed in and out.

Is opened by pulling handle out.

4.6 Use

• Open the air vent and the ignition vent by pulling it out all the way (fig. 29 A & B). If necessary, keep the door slightly open. (Use a glove, for example, as the handle can become hot.)
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the base. N.B. In order to avoid sooting on the glass, it is important that the log is not placed adjacent to the glass on the product.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and light the newspaper. (Fig. 30)
  Gradually increase the size of the fire, but the wood should not be stacked higher than the horizontal holes on the back burn plate. See fig. 29 H.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer of kindling and light the fire.
• NB: The maximum height of the pile of the wood should be just below the horizontal holes. The holes must not be covered.
• Close the ignition vent (fig. 29 B) when the firewood has ignited and the fire is burning well.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts. This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames under the baffle.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of heating by adjusting the air vent (fig. 29 A).

Fig. 30

Adding firewood

Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation. Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution. The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the chimney is almost invisible.

4.7 Danger of overheating

The fireplace must never be used in a manner that causes overheating

Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the air vent opening immediately.

Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe).

ENGLISH

4.8 Ash removal

Jøtul F 370 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove the ashes.

1. Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.
2. Push/pull the handle for the ash grate/ignition vent out and in several times so that the ashes fall down into the ash pan. Use something like a glove to grab the handle on the ash pan.
3. Make sure that the ash pan doesn't fill up so high that it keeps ash from coming through the grate into the pan.

5.o Daily use

Odours when using the fireplace for the first time

When the fireplace is used for the first time, it may emit an irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because the paint dries. The gas is not toxic but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or odours can be detected.

Heating advice

NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them up to room temperature.

There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See the section on "Wood quality".

Wood quality

By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood such as birch, spruce and pine.

The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no more than 20% .

To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter. They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.

Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel in your fireplace:

Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
- Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
- Laminated wooden planks.
Driftwood

These may harm the product and are also pollutants.

NB: Never use petrol, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and damage to the product.

Wood consumption

Jotul F 370 has a nominal heat output of 5,5kW . Use of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,9kg / 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 cm

Diameter: 2-5 cm

Amount per fire: 6-8 pieces

Firewood (split logs):

Length: Ca 20 - 30 cm

Diameter: Approx. 8 cm

Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes

Size of the fire: 1.4kg

Amount per load: 2 pieces

Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent (fig. 29 A) is open approximately 100% and the handle for the ignition vent pulled out approximately 1 - 2cm (fig. 29 B).

6.o Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass

The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and down along the inside of the glass.

However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off when the air vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace.

Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).

6.2 Cleaning and soot removal

Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate when using the product, they can be easily removed by using a soot remover.

In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the fireplace you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to get the best heating effect from the product. It is a good idea to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and flue pipes.

6.3 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney

On certain free-standing fireplaces the top plate can be lifted off and the pipe swept through the top.

Otherwise, flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch or through the product's door opening. Then, the baffle must be removed.

6.4 Inspection of the fireplace

Jotul recommends that you personally inspect your fireplace carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.

Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue (available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well into place. The joint will dry quickly.

6.5 Exterior maintenance

Painted products may change colour after several years usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose particles before new paint is applied.

7.o Service

Warning! Any unauthorised change to the product is illegal. Only use original spare parts.

7.1 Replacing the baffle/exhaust deflector

(N.B. If you use tools, be aware that the vermiculite plates may be damaged by rough treatment).

1. Lift up the front edge of the baffle plate and tilt it out (fig. 29 G). Remove the side burn plates (fig. 29 F) and the rear burn plate (fig. 29 E).
2. The exhaust deflector, in cast-iron - that is located above the baffle plate, rests with the bar on the ribs at the rear flue outlet (fig. 26 A). Lift the exhaust deflector slightly up, pull it forward and tilt it out.
3. For reassembly follow the same procedure for installation, but in reverse.

7.2 Replacement of burn plates/base plate

(N.B. If you use tools, be aware that the vermiculite plates may be damaged by rough treatment).

1. Lift up the front edge of the baffle plate and tilt it out. Remove the side burn plates (fig. 29 F) and the rear burn plate (fig. 29 E).
2. Then lift up the grate and the base plate and take it out (fig. 29 D).
3. Follow the same procedure for installation, but in the opposite sequence.
4. When reassembling the grate and the base plate, make sure that the riddling bar (fig. 27A) that moves the riddling grate is threaded into the slot on the right edge of the grate.

7.3 Replacing the inner/outer side glass

1. Lift up the front edge of the baffle plate and tilt it out Remove the side burn plates (fig. 29 F) and the rear burn plate (fig. 29 E).
2. The exhaust deflector, in cast-iron - that is located above the baffle plate, rests with the bar on the ribs at the rear flue outlet (fig. 26 A). Lift the exhaust deflector slightly up, pull it forward and tilt it out.
3. Remove riddling grate, base plate and ash pan (fig. 29 D).

Fig. 32

1. Unscrew the upper and lower screws (fig. 31A and 32A), and tilt the glass holder with the glass carefully out through the door. N.B. The glass holder also keeps the outer glass in place
2. Remove the glass and possibly replace gaskets. If needed replace the external glass.
3. For reassembly follow the same procedure for installation, but in reverse.

8.o Operational problems -troubleshooting

Poor draught

1. Check the length of the chimney and that it complies with national laws and regulations. (See also «2.o Technical data» and «4.o Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe) in the installation manual for information.)
2. Make sure that the minimum cross section on the chimney is according to «2.o Technical data» in the installation manual.
3. Make sure that there is not anything preventing the smoke gasses from escaping: branches, trees, etc.
4. Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek professional help for measurement and adjustment.

The fire extinguishes after a while

1. Make sure that the firewood is sufficiently dry.
2. Find out whether there is negative pressure in the house, close mechanical fans and open a window close to the fireplace.
3. Check that the air vent is open.
4. Check that the flue outlet is not clogged by soot.

Unusual amount of soot accumulates on the glass

Some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity depends on:
1. Moisture in the fuel.
2. The local draught conditions.
3. Air vent opening.

Most of the soot will normally burn off when the air vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace. (See «6.1 Cleaning the glass».)

10.o Warranty

Jøtul AS provides its customers with a ten-year warranty with the right to return external cast-iron items if they show defects as a result of faulty materials and/or manufacturing after the initial purchase/installation of the fireplace. The buyer is entitled to return the goods provided that the fireplace has been installed in compliance with current laws and regulations and in compliance with Jøtul's installation and operating instructions.

The warranty does not cover:

The installation of optional extras, for example, to rectify local draught conditions, air supply or other circumstances beyond Jotul's control. The warranty does not cover consumables, such as burn plates, smoke baffles, fire grates, bottom grates, brick refractories, dampers and gaskets as they deteriorate over time due to normal wear and tear. The warranty does not cover damage caused as a result of using unsuitable fuel when lighting the fire, such as driftwood, impregnated and painted wood, plank offcuts, chipboard, etc. Overheating may easily occur if unsuitable fuel is used, i.e. the fireplace becomes red hot, which causes the paint to discolour and the cast iron parts to crack.

The warranty is not valid for damage caused while the product is in transit from the distributor to the delivery address. The warranty is not valid either for damage caused by the use of non-original parts.
