Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean
Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke
control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air
Act requirements.
The Jøtul F 263 and Jøtul F 263 S have been recommended
as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood
logs.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
•
The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1a. The specifi ed distance to
fl ammable materials, applies to this stove. The stove must
be installed with a CE approved fl ue. The distance of the
fl ue pipe to combustible materials must also be observed.
•
Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are not
too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 meter in front of the fi replace.
•
Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
•
The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
•
Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
fl ammable container.
•
Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
•
Close all hatches and vents.
•
Keep the fi rebox door closed.
•
Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
•
Call the fi re service.
•
Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
3.2 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the fl oor is strong enough for the fi replace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights. It is recommended that fl ooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called fl oating
fl ooring – is removed during installation.
Combustible fl oor protection
The product has integrated fl oor protection and may therefore
be placed directly on a wodden fl oor.
Jøtul recommends that any fl ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed from
under the fl oor plate.
6
Requirements for protection of infl ammable
fl oors in front of the fi replace
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.3 Walls (fi g. 1a)
Distance to wall made of combustible material
Distance to wall with insulated fl ue pipe: See fi g. 1a.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Firewall requirement
The fi rewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
Distance to non combustible walls
By non combustible one means a non load-bearing wall of solid
brickwork/concrete.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.4 Ceiling
If the ceiling above the fireplace is made of a combustible
material, the minimum distance between the fireplace and
ceiling must be 1000 mm.
4.0 Installation
The product is delivered in at least 2 packing cases.
Check that the fi replace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fi replace.
Make sure that furniture and other household items are not so
close as to get dried up by the stove. Painted surfaces may also
be discoloured.
4.1 Chimneys and fl ue pipes
•
The fi replace can be connected to a chimney and fl ue
pipe approved for solid fuel fi red appliances with fl ue gas
temperatures specifi ed in «2.0 Technical data».
•
The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
fl ue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
•
Several solid fuel fi red appliances can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is suffi cient.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
•
Before making a hole in the chimney the fi replace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fi replace and the hole in the chimney. See fi g. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
•
Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
•
Ensure that the fl ue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
•
Use a fl ue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
