the most efficient burn is between 400° and 600° (204°C -316°C).

See figure 12 for the best locations to place a stove-top thermometer.

Never overfire the stove. If any part of the stove or chimney glows, you are overfiring. A house fire or serious damage to the stove or chimney could result. If this condition occurs, immediately close down the air control.

Adding Fuel

When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed of hot embers still exist, follow this reloading procedure:

•Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.

•Push the air control lever to the full open position (far right).

•Wait a few seconds before opening the door.

•Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot embers equally around the firebox.

•Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.

•Close the door, be sure to latch the door tightly.

•Wait 5 – 10 minutes before adjusting the primary air to the desired heat output setting. (If you have at least a 2” thick ember bed when reloading, it may be possible to close the door and immediately adjust the air control setting).

The Formation of Creosote

When wood is burned slowly and at low temperatures, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with moisture to form creosote. The slow moving smoke carries the creosote vapors, which condense in the cooler chimney flues, and this creosote then sticks to the chimney walls.

The creosote that accumulates in the chimney is highly flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires. To prevent chimney fires it is important to have the chimney and chimney connector pipe inspected and/or cleaned semiannually. A qualified chimney sweep or other authorized service person can provide this service.

It is also important to remember that chimney size, temperature and height all affect draft which in turn affects the formation of creosote. Be sure to follow the installation and operation guidelines established in this manual.

Maintenance

Ash Removal

For your protection always wear safety gloves when handling the ash pan.

Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how frequently the stove is used. The Jøtul F 400 is equipped with an exterior ash pan assembly that allows easy ash removal without opening the front door.

The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of the stove. To open the ash door, engage the receptacle end of the door handle with the square fitting on the ash door latch. Rotate the door counterclockwise to unlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door.

With a gloved hand, grasp the ash pan handle and remove the ash pan. Always close the ash pan door before leaving to dispose of the ashes.

The ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Glass Care

Cleaning

On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly ash are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended period of time it could eventually cause the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any creosote that might develop on the glass will burn off during the next hot fire.

Follow this cleaning procedure:

1. Glass needs to be completely cool.

2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass and ultimately leave the glass frosted.

3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the stove.

Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully to avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door to push wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked or broken follow the replacement procedure below. Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass panel.

Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 . Do not use substitutes. Replacement glass is available from your local Jøtul dealer.
