6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul I 600 is equipped with an «air wash system». Through the
air vent air is sucked in above the fireplace and washed down
along the inside of the glass. This system has the advantage that
it provides better combustion and reduces the accumulation of
soot deposits on the glass.
Still, some soot will always accumulate on the glass, but the
quantity will depend on the humidity of the fuel, local draught
conditions and adjustment of the air vent. Most of the soot will
normally burn 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. If it is
necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions for use on the
bottle).
6.2 Ash removal
• Only do this when the stove is cold.
• Use a drawer (or similar) and scrape the ashes out, but always
allow some ash to remain as a protective layer in the bottom
of the stove.
• Also see description on how to handle ashes below «3.1 Fire
preventive measures».
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.
In order to maintain the stove's maximum heat output, it is
necessary to clean the stove annually using a brush and scraper.
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
Sweeping of flue pipes must be done through the flue pipe
sweeping hatch or through the stove door opening. Then the
baffle plate must be removed. See how this is done under section:
«7.0 Servicing».
6.5 Control of the stove
Jøtul recommends that you personally control the stove carefully
after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface areas for
cracks.
Also check that all gaskets are properly in place. Any gaskets
showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket groove, apply ceramic glue (available
from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well into place.
The joint will dry quickly.

6.6 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years of use.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new Jøtul stove paint is applied.
