Glass Removal

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 the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Using a wire brush, remove all remaining debris from
the glass area .
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.
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after
the stove has be burned and the gasketing has been
seated.
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the glass
clips slowly and in an alternating pattern as you would
tighten the lugs on an automobile wheel.

General Maintenance

As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life
of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.
At least once per year you should perform the following
maintenance procedures:
• Thoroughly clean the stove. Use a soft cloth with soap
and water to clean enamel surfaces. Be sure the stove
is cold, before cleaning.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum
for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for
ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all
cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace
cement.

Gaskets

Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To check
the seal of the front door, close and latch the door on a
dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it can
be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Check several spots
around the door, and repeat the procedure on the ash pan
door as well.

Gasket Replacement

1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket
from the door.
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.

4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement to seat it
in the channel. Close and latch the door and then reopen.
Wipe any excess cement squeezed out from around
the gasket.

Chimney System

The Jøtul F 400 is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently
when used according to the guidelines in this manual. In
order to maintain proper performance, you should inspect
the chimney and chimney connector at least twice a year
and clean when creosote and fly ash deposits exceed 1/4"
in any part of the system. Failure to keep the chimney
system free of creosote and build up could result in a
serious chimney fire.

Accessories

Use only accessories that are specifically designed for use
with the Jøtul F 400 .

Firescreen (# 129650)

The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use as an open
fireplace, with front door open. Care should be taken when
operating the stove as a fireplace.
• • • • • Always have the Firescreen in place, attached to the
stove front.
• • • • • Never overload the stove. For the best appearance, burn
logs in the traditional three log configuration.
• • • • • When you operate the stove with the screen in place,
efficiency is sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics, much
as with a conventional fireplace. Wood will burn at a
much faster rate as combustion air is uncontrolled. Most
of the heat value of the wood will be lost up the chimney.
Not all installations will support the use of the
firescreen. Moderate or low draft conditions may result
in smoke spillage from the stove when using the
firescreen.
