Maintenance - Jotul F 100 Instrucciones Para Instalación

• Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fire.
Close the door and ignition vent when the firewood
has ignited and the fire is burning well.
• Check that afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames under
the baffle.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired
level of heating by adjusting the air wash vent (fig. 2 A).
(Use a glove, for example, when the handle is warm.)
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air wash
vent is open approximately 75% (fig. 2A).
5.6 Adding firewood
1. Each load should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added. Open the door slightly and allow
the negative pressure to level out prior to opening the
door completely.
. Add the wood and make sure that the air wash vent is
fully open for a few minutes until the wood has caught
fire.
3. Close the air wash vent (fig. 2A) once the wood has
properly ignited and is burning well. Check that
afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace must never be
used in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or
air so that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of
overheating is when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this
happens, reduce the ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney,
seek professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and
«4.5 Chimney and flue pipe» for information.
•
In the event of a chimney catching fire or there is a
danger of the chimney catching fire, the stove vents
and damper should be closed.
•
If necessary call the fire service to extinguish the fire.
•
After a chimney fire the chimney must always be
checked by the sweeper's authority.
5.7 Using fireplace during the transition
from winter to spring, negative smoke
draught or under difficult wind conditions
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under difficult
wind conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may
occur so that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less firewood and have a larger
opening in the air vents so that the wood burns fresher
and faster. In this was the draught in the chimney will be
maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often
than usual. See «6.2 Ash removal»

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul F 100 is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air
is sucked in through the draught 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 (fig. 7)
• Open the grate.
• Lift out the ash pan.
• Carefully place the grate down.
• Ideally, some ash should be left as a protective layer for
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 fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and
will therefore reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot
deposits accumulate when using the product, they can be
easily removed by using a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in
the fireplace you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot
in order to remove the layer. 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 sweeping
the chimney and flue pipes.
6.4 Sweeping of flue pipe up to the
chimney
For rear-mounted flue pipes lift the top plate and sweep
the pipe through the opening.
For top-mounted flue pipes the product can be swept
through the flue pipe's sweeping hatch. If not the baffle
must be removed by lifting it forwards and to one side
slightly and then tilt it downwards. Let the baffle rest on
the bottom plate until cleaning is complete.
