ENGLISH
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks. N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very
important for the proper functioning of the product.
Warning! Weight from the fireplace must not be transferred to the
chimney. The fireplace must not interfere with the ability of the
chimney to move and it must not be fastened to the chimney.
Note: A guide is published by the British Flue and Chimney
Manufacturers' Association which contains general information
on chimneys and flues.
Recommended chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data». If
the draught is too strong you can install and operate a flue
damper to control the draught.
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 in
order to ensure that it is fully functional.
4.6 Preparation
Make sure the cassette is not damaged in any way before
commencing the installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
The Jøtul C 31 is delivered in one package and includes loose
handle, ash pan and a bag of supplies, as well as adapters for the
flue outlet and for the warm air distribution from the convection
chamber (fig. 2 and 3).
After unpacking the cassette, remove the box with its contents
and possibly also the baffle plate and burn plates to make the
product lighter. The front frame may also be removed. See section
about: «7.0 Service».
4.7 Mounting
The cassette should be test assembled before connecting the
flue pipe. The flue pipe should be installed according to the
requirements of the individual case, depending on the size of
the fireplace. Your Jøtul-dealer/installer will be able to give you
advice and instructions.
•
Make sure the bottom of the fireplace is even.
•
Put cement around the edge of the flue outlet
(fig. 4A).
•
Set up the product. The product is heavy. Make sure you have
assistance when erecting and positioning it.
•
Make sure the flue outlet's centre line is aligned with the
pre-installed flue pipe adapter/flue pipe. Also ensure that
the front or front panels are aligned with the front of the
framing.
If connecting the smoke outlet and flue pipe is difficult due to
limited access, Jøtul has a special adapter (optional equipment)
available. This adapter may be used to pre-install the flue pipe
inside the fireplace, prior to inserting the cassette. After inserting
the cassette, the adapter can be put in the right position through
the flue outlet.
•
Make sure to leave a
clearance of 2-3 mm to the framing to
compensate for possible heat expansion.
12
Replace all the parts that were removed in order to ease the
handling of the fireplace.
Adjusting the front frame (fig 8)
Before installation
•
Open the inspection hatch on the left-hand side of the
cassette (fig. 8).
Loosen the two large screws – 8 mm (A) and adjust with the
•
three (6mm) screws (B) to position the frame correctly.
•
Fasten the screws tightly again.
After installation
In order to adjust the front frame, it must be opened first. Loosen
the two large screws – 8 mm– and adjust with the three (6mm)
screws. Fasten the screws tightly again.
4.8 Control of functions (fig. 5)
Always test the service functions when the insert has been set
up. They should move easily and function satisfactorily.

5.0 Use
5.1 Choice of fuel
Always use quality firewood. This will give you optimal results,
and will not cause any damage to the product.
5.2 Jøtul's definition of quality firewood
With good quality firewood we mean logs of, for example: Birch,
beech and oak.
Good quality wood should be dried so that the water content is
approx. 20%.
To achieve that, the wood should be cut during late winter or early
spring, then cut and stacked to ensure proper airing and covered
to prevent it from absorbing rainwater. The logs should be taken
indoors in autumn for use during the winter season.
The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood varies very
little. On the other hand the specific weight of the different kinds
of wood varies considerably. As an example, a certain volume of
birch will provide less kWh than the same volume of oak, which
has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy produced by 1 kg quality wood is about
3,8 kWh.1 kg of completely dry wood (0 % humidity) produces
approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level of 60%
produces only around 1,5 kWh/kg.
