ENGLISH
Wood consumption
Jøtul F 3 has a nominal heat output of 6,0 kW. Use of wood,
with nominal heat emission: Approx. 2,0 kg/h. Another
important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the
logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 20 - 30 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fi re: 6 - 8 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 30 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approx. every 60 minutes
Size of the fi re: 2 kg
Amount per load: 2 pieces.
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is
open approximately 100%.

3.0 Installation

3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for the
fi replace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specifi cation of weight.
It is recommended that fl ooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called fl oating fl ooring – is removed during
installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl ooring
Jøtul F 3 has a heat shield underneath which protects the
fl oor from radiation. The product can therefore be placed
directly on a wooden fl oor that is covered by a metal plate or
other suitable, non-infl ammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0,9 mm.
Jøtul recommends that any fl ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the fl oor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
fl ooring in front of fi replace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws
and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Distance from the wall of fl ammable
material – cf. fi g. 1
The fi replace is authorised for use with an uninsulated fl ue with
the distances to the wall of fl ammable material as shown in fi g 1.
28
Distance to the fl ammable wall protected by
a fi rewall
Firewall requirement
The fi rewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
structures with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
ceiling above the fi replace.
3.4 Chimneys and fl ue pipes
• A chimney can be linked to the fi replace and fl ue approved
for solid fuel-fi red fi replaces with a fl ue gas temperature as
specifi ed in «2.0 Technical data».
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the fl ue. Please use «2.0 Technical
data» to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
• Several solid fuel-fi red fi replaces can be connected to
the same chimney if the cross-section of the chimney is
adequate.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in
accordance with the installation instructions from the
supplier of the chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fi replace should
be test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of
the fi replace and the hole in the chimney. See fi g. 1 for
minimum dimensions.
• Ensure that the fl ue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a fl ue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
fl exibility 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.
The chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data». If the
draught is too strong you can install and operate a fl ue
damper to control the draught.

3.5 Assembly prior to installation

N.B. Check that the fi replace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fi replace.
After unpacking the stove - take out the items which are packed
inside it (fi g. 2). These items are ash lip and a door handle knob,
along with a plastic bag of screws for component assembly.
1. Unhook the door. Do not loosen the washer which is under
the lower hinge pin.
2. Remove the top-plate of the stove. This is connected to
the side plates with two collar head screws. In this way it is
easier to move the stove (fi g. 3).
3. Install the ash lip by hooking it onto the front, just below the
door (fi g. 2C).
4. Screw the door handle knob to the front door handle (fi g. 2D).
Choose a Flue Exit Position
The Jøtul F 3 is equipped with a rear heat shield as standard,
and has a cast knockout on the rear and sides, which has to
be removed in order to install the fl ue pipe.
