Adding Fi Rewood; Ash Removal - Jøtul MF 3 Instrucciones Para Instalación

ENGLISH
5.4 First time use
• Light the fi re as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fi re for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
N.B. Odours when using the fi replace for
the fi rst time
Painted products:the fi replace may emit an irritating gas
when used for the fi rst time, and it may smell a little. The gas
is not toxic, but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let
the fi re burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fi replace the fi rst few times it is used. This must be wiped off
to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats up.
5.5 Daily use
The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fi replace,
meaning that each fi re should burn down to embers before new
fi rewood is added.
• Open both air vents (fi g. 2A and 2B). Use a glove, for
example, as the handle can become hot.
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these
and add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top
and light the newspaper. Gradually increase the size of the
wood. (see point 5.3)
• Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fi re. Close
the door and ash door vent when the fi rewood has ignited
and the fi re is burning well.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (Fig. 2B).
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is
open approximately 40% and the ash door vent (Fig. 2B)
closed.
Adding fi rewood
1. Each fi re should burn down to embers before new fi rewood
is reloaded. Open the door slightly and allow the negative
pressure to level out prior to opening the door completely.
2. Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fi re.
3. The air vent (fi g. 2B) can be turned down once the wood
has properly ignited and is burning well.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fi replace must never be
used in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air so
that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating
is when parts of the fi replace glow red. When this happens,
reduce the ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek
professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5
Chimney and fl ue pipe» for information.
5.6 Jøtul's defi nition of briquetted
coal
12
By briquetted coal we mean coal that meets specifi cation in
EN 13240 Table B.2 (Briquetted fuel for closed appliances.)
For example Phurnacite.
5.7 First time use
• Light the fi re as described under «5.4 First time use ».
Intervals for adding briquetted coal: Approximately every 135
minutes
Amount per load: 1,45 kg
5.8 Daily use
To burn coal successfully there must be air passing through
the grate.
• Open the vent in the ash door fully (fi g. 2A).
• Open the air vent (fi g. 2B).
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) and add some
kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern (see point 5.3). Add
coal on the top, and light the newspaper.
• Leave the door slightly open until the kindling wood catch
fi re.
• As the fi re establishes itself, the air vent can be closed up
gradually (fi g.2B).
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the ash door air vent (Fig. 2A). (Use a
tool , for example a glove, as the handle can become hot.)
Refuelling
When more fuel is needed, remember to rake the existing
embers to ensure ash is deposited into the ash pan. Then add
more fuel, being careful not to fi ll above the level of the log
retainer.
As fresh fuel is added, it is advised that the ash door vent is
opened to allow the fi re to achieve the required temperature.
Once this is achieved regulate the air vents as before.

Ash removal

Do not let the ash build up to the grate as this may cause the
great to over heat and distort.
5.9 Thermometer
When burning coal we recommend the use of a stove
thermometer. The thermometer is available from all well
equipped dealers and shall be placed on the top of the stove.
Persistent overfi ring of the stove (temperatures of 280
or more) will hasten the need for replacement parts that are
excluded from the warranty.
5.10 Using fi replace during the
transition from winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under diffi cult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less fi rewood and have a larger opening
in the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In
this was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often
