6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off
when the air vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning
briskly in the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over
the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it
is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).
6.2 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can be easily removed by using a
soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fireplace you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating effect from the product. It is a good idea
to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and
flue pipes.
6.3 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney
On certain free-standing fireplaces the top plate can be lifted off
and the pipe swept through the top.
Otherwise, flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe
sweeping hatch or through the product's door opening. Then,
the baffle must be removed.
6.4 Inspection of the fireplace
Jøtul recommends that you personally inspect your fireplace
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces for
cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the gaskets
are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs of wear or
deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well
into place. The joint will dry quickly.
6.5 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years usage.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new paint is applied.
7.0 Service
Warning! Any unauthorised change to the product is illegal.
Only use original spare parts.
7.1 Replacing the baffle/exhaust
deflector
(N.B. If you use tools, be aware that the vermiculite plates may
be damaged by rough treatment).
1. Lift up the front edge of the baffle plate and tilt it out
(fig. 29 G). Remove the side burn plates (fig. 29 F) and the
rear burn plate (fig. 29 E).
2. The exhaust deflector, in cast-iron - that is located above the
baffle plate, rests with the bar on the ribs at the rear flue
outlet (fig. 26 A). Lift the exhaust deflector slightly up, pull it
forward and tilt it out.
3. For reassembly follow the same procedure for installation,
but in reverse.
7.2 Replacement of burn plates/base
plate
(N.B. If you use tools, be aware that the vermiculite plates may
be damaged by rough treatment).
1. Lift up the front edge of the baffle plate and tilt it out. Remove
the side burn plates (fig. 29 F) and the rear burn plate (fig. 29 E).
2. Then lift up the grate and the base plate and take it out (fig.
29 D).
3. Follow the same procedure for installation, but in the opposite
sequence.
4. When reassembling the grate and the base plate, make sure
that the riddling bar (fig. 27 A) that moves the riddling grate
is threaded into the slot on the right edge of the grate.
