6.2 Changing the baffl e plate
Follow step 1 -3 under Fig. 9.
•
Access is then easy to the smoke defl ectors (Fig. 9 B) if they
•
need to be removed. They are situated on 1 knob on the
side and on the air manifold (fi g. 9 D).
• Edge them down and remove them through the door.
For re-installation follow the same procedure in the opposite
sequence.

7.0 Maintenance

7.1 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 fi re
is burning briskly in the fi replace.
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).
7.2 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fi replace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi replace, you should regularly allow the fi re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating eff ect from your product. It is a good idea
to do this when cleaning the chimney and fl ue pipes.
7.3 Sweeping fl ue pipes to the
chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the fl ue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening.
One of the baffl es will have to be removed fi rst in order to do this.
7.4 Inspection of the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fi replace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. 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.
7.4 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.
8.0 Operational problems -
troubleshooting
Poor draught
Check the length of the chimney and that it complies with
national laws and regulations. (See also «2.0 Technical
data» and «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and fl ue pipe) in the
installation manual for information.)
Make sure that the minimum cross section on the chimney is
according to «2.0 Technical data» in the installation manual.
Make sure that there is not anything preventing the smoke
gasses from escaping: branches, trees, etc.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney,
seek professional help for measurement and adjustment.
The fi re extinguishes after a while
• Make sure that the fi rewood is suffi ciently dry.
• Find out whether there is negative pressure in the house,
close mechanical fans and open a window close to the
fi replace.
• Check that the air vent is open.
• Check that the fl ue 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:
• Moisture in the fuel.
• The local draught conditions.
• Air vent opening.
Most of the soot will normally burn off when the air vent is
opened all the way and a fi re is burning briskly in the fi replace.
