Consequences of using damp wood may include:
•
Appearance of soot/tar on the glass, in the fireplace and in
the chimney.
•
The fireplace emits little warmth.
•
Risk of chimney fire as a consequence of accumulation of soot
in the fireplace, flue pipe and chimney.
•
The fire may die out.
Be especially careful never to lay a fire using any of the following
materials:
•
Household waste, plastic bags, etc.
•
Painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic).
•
Chipboard or laminated boards.
•
Driftwood.
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
N.B. Never use combustible liquids such as petrol, kerosene, red
spirit or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm to both
yourself and the product.
5.3 Log length and amount
The maximum length of logs to be used is 55 cm. Nominal heat
emission is 8,0 kWh. The requirement for nominal heat emission
is 2,3 kg of quality firewood per hour.
An important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the logs
are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: Approx 40 - 50 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fire: 8 - 10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Recommended length: 50 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 50 minutes
Size of the fire: 1,8 kg
Amount per load: 2 stk.
5.4 Initial lighting
• Light the fire as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fire for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the first time.
Painted products: The fireplace may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. 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 smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fireplace the first 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 fireplace,
meaning that each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.
Open both draught vents (fig. 5B and
•
example, when the handle is warm.)
•
Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
•
•
•
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 70%.
5.6 Adding firewood
•
•
•
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace 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 fireplace glow red. If 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»
for information.
5.7 Using fireplace during the transition
from winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under difficult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less firewood 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 than
usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».
6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul C 31 is equipped with top draught (air wash). Through the
air vent air is sucked in above the fireplace and washed down
along the inside of the glass. This system has the advantage that
it provides better combustion and reduces the buildup of soot
deposits on the glass.
Still, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity will
depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of the
draught vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off
when the draught vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning
briskly in the fireplace.
C).(Use a glove, for
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it
Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and
add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper. Increase the size of the logs gradually.
Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fire.Close the
door and the ignition vent when the firewood has ignited and
the fire is burning briskly.
Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (fig. 5B).
Each load should burn down to embers before new firewood is
added. Open the door slightly and allow the negative pressure
to level out prior to opening the door completely.
Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fire.
Regulate the air vent (fig. 5B) once the wood has properly
ignited and is burning well.
