6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul F 600 is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked
in through the air vent above the fireplace 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 wash vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned
off when the air wash 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 Ash removal
• Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Jøtul F 600 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove the
ash.
• Scrape the ash through the grate in the base plate and into
the ash pan. Use something like a glove to grab the handle
on the ash pan and take away the ash.
• Make sure that the ash pan doesn't fill up so high that it keeps
ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
• Make sure the door to the ash pan is securely shut when the
stove is in use.
Also see the description below about how to handle ash: «3.0
Safety precautions».
6.3 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the stove
during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore reduce the
stove's heat output.
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.
6.4 Sweeping of flue pipes to the
chimney
It is possible to sweep through the sweeping hatch in the flue
pipe or to remove the top plate and sweep through the smoke
outlet. See »7.0 Service».
6.5 Control of the stove
Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove carefully
after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface areas 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.

6.6 External maintenance
Painted products may change color after several years usage. The
surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose particles
before new Jøtul stove paint is applied.
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
Do not use water and soap. Any stains can be removed with a
cleaning fluid (Oven cleaner etc.).
