Operating Instructions - Jøtul I 600 Instrucciones Para Instalación

Installation of side burn plates (fig. 13 - 14)
• Start with the inner plate. Lift it behind the bracket (A) and
down behind the base plate. Slide it into the corner in front
of the rear burn plate (B).

other side.
• Then fasten the bolt again (13C).
Placement of the baffle plate (fig. 15)
• Place the baffle plate in position (Vermeculite). It should rest
in the grooves up on the side burn plates (A).

5.0 Operating instructions

5.1 Choice of fuel
Always use quality firewood. This will give you optimal results,
and will not cause any damage to the product.
5.2 Jøtul's definition of quality firewood
With good quality firewood we mean logs of, for example birch,
beech and oak.
Good quality firewood should be dried so that the water content
is approx. 20%.
To achieve this the firewood should be chopped at the latest in
late winter or early spring. It should be cut and stacked so that
air circulates around it. The stacks should be covered on top so
as to avoid absorbing excessive rainwater.
The logs should be taken indoors in autumn for use during the
winter season.
The amount of energy obtainable from of 1 kg of firewood varies
very little. On the other hand the specific weight of the different
kinds of wood varies considerably. As an example, a certain
volume of birch will provide less kWh than the same volume of
oak, which has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy produced by 1 kg quality firewood is about
3,8 kWh. 1 kg completely dry firewood (0 % humidity) produces
about 5 kWh, while firewood with a humidity level of 60%
produces only around 1,5 kWh/kg.
Consequences of using humid firewood may include:
• Appearance of soot/tar on the glass, stove or chimney
• Insufficient heat being emitted from the stove
• Risk of chimney fire as a result of accumulation of soot in the
• The fire may die out
Be especially careful to never lay a fire using any of the following
materials:
• household waste, plastic bags etc.
• painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic)
• chipboard or laminated boards
• driftwood
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
N.B. Never use flammable liquids such as petrol, kerosene, red spirit
or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm to both yourself
and the product.
5.3 Log length and amount
The maximum length of logs to be used is 60 cm. The logs
should be laid parallel to the back wall of the fire chamber. At its
most efficient the Jøtul I 600 has a nominal heat output of 14.0
kW. This corresponds to a consumption of about 4,2 kg quality
firewood per hour.
An important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the logs
are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling wood:
Length: 30-60 cm
Diameter: 2-5 cm
Amount per fire: 8-10 pieces
stove, flue pipe or chimney
