service.
It is also important to remember that chimney size, temperature
and height all affect draft which in turn affects the formation
of creosote. Be sure to follow the installation and operation
guidelines established in this manual.

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Ash Removal

For your protection always wear safety gloves when handling
the ash pan.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F 600 is
equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy ash removal,
without the need for opening the front doors.
The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of the stove.
To open the ash door rotate the door knob counterclockwise to
unlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door.
Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation always close
the ash door before leaving to dispose of the ashes.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped
with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.

6.2 Glass Care

Cleaning:
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits
and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly ash are allowed
to remain on the glass for an extended period of time it could
eventually cause the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any
creosote, which might deposit on the glass, should burn off
during the next hot fire.
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this
purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass and
ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning your stove.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass panel.
6.3 Glass removal:
Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously to avoid cracking
or breaking the glass. Never use the door to push wood into
the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked or broken follow this
procedure for replacement:
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat
surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of the
door.
3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using a wire
brush.
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the new
gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall
the glass clips. See figure 13, page 15.
