6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul MF 3 is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent above the fi replace 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 wash vent. Most of the soot layer will
normally be burned off when the air wash 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).
6.2 Ash removal
Jøtul MF 3 is equipped with an outdoor ash pan, which makes
it easy to remove the ashes.
•
Scrape the ash through the grate in the base plate and into
the ash pan (fi g. 7).
•
Use something like a glove to grab the handle on the ash
pan and take away the ash. Make sure that the ash pan
doesn't fi ll up so high that it keeps ash from coming through
the grate into the pan.
•
Make sure the door to the ash pan is securely shut when
the stove is in use.
•
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fi tting lid.
Also see the description below about how to handle ash: «3.0
Safety precautions».
6.3 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 be easily 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 the product. It is a good idea to
do this in connection with sweeping the chimney and fl ue pipes.
6.4 Sweeping of fl ue pipes to the
chimney
• For rear-mounted fl ue pipes lift the top plate and sweep the
pipe through the opening.
• For top mounted fl ue pipes the product can be swept through
the fl ue pipe's sweeping hatch, or the baffl e plate must be
taken down. See point 7.1 on how to do this.
6.5 Checking the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you personally check your fi replace
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces
for cracks.
Also check that all joints are sealed and that the door and top
plate gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing
signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket groove, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.
6.6 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years of use.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new Jøtul stove paint is applied.
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do
not use soap and water. Any stains can be removed with a
cleaning fl uid (e.g. oven cleaner).
