3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
recommends that its stoves are fitted by a qualified
installer (see www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).
Any modifications to the product by the distributor, installer or
consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning and
safety of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.

3.1 Fire Prevention Measures

There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fireplace are given in fig. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are
not too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 1100 mm of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fire hazard.
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
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("floating floors") beneath the installation.
Short legs (Optional extra)
NB: The short legged version (F 305 SL) can only be
installed on a constructional hearth which must have an
extension of minimum 500 mm in front of the stove. For
further information please see Approved Document J2010
Section 2.22.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring beneath the fireplace
The product with base has integrated floor protection and
may therefore be placed directly on a wooden floor.

front according to national laws and regulations.
Important! The space under the burnchamber of Jøtul F 305
with legs cannot be used for storage.
Any inflammable floor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets,
etc. must be removed from under the product.
Requirements for protection of
inflammable floors in front of the

Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
