ENGLISH

Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney

It is possible to sweep through the sweeping hatch in the flue pipe or to remove the top plate and sweep through the smoke outlet.

Control of the stove

Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface areas for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.

Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue (available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well into place.The joint will dry quickly.

External maintenance

Painted products may change color after several years usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose particles before new Jøtul stove paint is applied.

Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use water and soap. Any stains can be removed with a cleaning fluid (Oven cleaner etc.).

The length, quantity and quality of logs

The maximum length of logs to be used is 50 cm. Logs should be placed parallel to the back wall of the combustion chamber. Jøtul F 400 has a nominal capacity of 7,0 kW. According to calculations the nominal heat output will consume 2,8 kg quality-wood per hour.

Jøtul’s definition of quality wood

Good quality wood should be dried so that the water content is approx. 20-25%.

To achieve this, the wood should be cut during late winter or early spring. It should then be cut and stacked to ensure proper airing. The stacks should be covered to prevent them from absorbing too much rainwater. The logs should be taken indoors in autumn for use during the winter season.

With good quality firewood we mean logs from trees, such as birch, beech and oak.

The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood 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 in 1 kg quality wood is approx. 3,8 kWh. 1 kg of completely dry wood (0 % humidity) produces approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level of 60% produces only around 1.5 kWh/kg.
