Installation; Assembly Prior To Installation - Jøtul F 400 Instrucciones Para Instalación En Informacion Tecnica

Wood consumption
Jøtul F 400 has a nominal heat output of 7,0 kW. Use of
wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 2,1 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: 30 - 40 cm
Diameter: 2-5 cm
Amount per fire: 8 - 10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 30 - 40 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 10 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes
Size of the fire: 2,0 kg
Amount per load: 2 - 3 pieces
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 50%.

3.0 Installation

3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring
Jøtul F 400 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0.9 mm.
Jøtul recommends that any flooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed from
under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Distance from the wall of flammable
material – cf. fig. 1.
The fireplace is authorised for use with an uninsulated flue
with the distances to the wall of flammable material as shown
in fig 1.
Distance to the flammable wall protected by a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall 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 fireplace.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
• A chimney can be linked to the fireplace and flue approved
for solid fuel-fired fireplaces with a flue gas temperature as
specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the flue. Please use «2.0 Technical data»
to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
• Several solid fuel-fired fireplaces 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 fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that it is particularly important that
connections 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.
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.

3.5 Assembly prior to installation

Note! Check that the stove is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing it.
Just inside the door is an inspection cover fastened by 2 screws on
the outer edge. The inspection cover is to be removed and replaced
by a corresponding part stored in the ash box. It is marked: Europa.
Remove the safety screw (fig.6) located in the centre and mount
it on the new inspection cover marked Europa.
1. The top plate is fastened by means of 2 transport screws.
These must be removed due to the regulation regarding
free access for sweeping smoke pipes. This is done by first
unscrewing the smoke outlet so that the 2 transport screws
situated on the inside of the product between the side panels
and the top plate are within reach. NB! Be aware of that the
top plate is laying loose on the top of the product, and shall
not be fastened.
