Clearances to

Combustibles

Floor Protection

A bottom heat shield is required in all installations. In addition, your stove must be placed on a noncombustible surface that extends 8" beyond the sides and back of the stove and 16" in the front of the stove. This will result in an overall base that is 28 1/2" wide x 45- 1/2" deep . This is the minimum floor protector size. Floor protection must also be used under the stove pipe and must extend 2" beyond either side of the pipe (fig. 7, page 22).

The floor protection must have a minimum R value of D.45.

Warning! Never put any type of floor protection on top of carpeting.

Alternate Floor Protection

All floor protection materials must be non-combustible (i.e., metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.). Any organic materials (i.e., plastics, wood, paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The floor protector specified may include some form of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal resistance), k-factor (thermal conductivity), or C-factor (thermal conductance).

The easiest means of determining if a proposed alternate floor material meets requirements listed in the appliance manual is to follow the procedure: See page 26.

Clearance to Adjacent Combustible Materials

The diagrams in figures 8-9-10 - page 22, give the required clearances you must maintain from unprotected combustible materials or objects.

A combustible is anything that can burn, and in the case of stove installations, these combustibles may not be visible. lf you are not sure of the combustible nature of any material in the vicinity of your planned stove installation, you should check with your local fire off icials. Remember that "fire resistant" materials are considered combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but they will burn.

lf you have recently purchased a home that has a stove

hearth in it that you plan to use, it is extremely important that the entire system be examined for safety. Many older homes may have faulty chimneys, or previous owners may have covered combustible walls or studs with brick veneers. Heat is conducted readily through brick and could ignite unseen combustibles behind it.

Contact local building or fire official about restrictions and installation requirements in your area.

Using a Rear Heat Shield to Reduce Clearance in Alcove lnstallations

The Jøtul F 602 USA optional rear heat shield, PN HS50,may be used only in top-exiting parallel installations to reduce clearance as shown in figures 11,12,13, page 23.

Using Wall Protectors to Reduce Clearances

The wall protector must be non-combustible, such as a minimum 24 gauge galvanized steel or its equivalent. The wall protector must be elevated 1" from the floor to provide an air space of at least 1" between the shield and the combustible wall. See figures 16, 17, and 18 on pages 23 and 24 for approved sizing specifications.

Alcove installation

When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with wall protection, the Jøtul F 602 USA can be placed in an alcove that has a minimum height of 96”1 and a maximum depth of 48", and a minimum width of 41". The clearances for this installation are shown in figure 14-15, page 23.

When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with a stove heat shield, the Jøtul F 602 USA can be placed in an alcove that has a minimum height of 96”1 and a maximum depth of 24”2, and a minimum width of 55". The clearances for this installation are shown in fig. 12-13, page 23.

In an alcove, the height of the wall protector, including the air space at the bottom, must be at least 41" (104 cm) (see fig. 15, page 23). Both side walls and the rear wall must be protected by the wall protector (fig. 14, page 22).

(1See NFPA 211 for ceiling clearance reductions with protection.)

Wood Stove specifications

Jotul wood stoves have gained a reputation for their exceptional craftsmanship and reliable performance. Founded in Norway in 1853, Jotul has become synonymous with quality and innovation in the world of wood burning. One of their hallmark features is the unique cast iron construction, which not only provides superior heat retention but also ensures durability and longevity. This material allows the stove to radiate heat evenly over a prolonged period, making it an efficient heating source during the cold months.

One of the standout technologies that Jotul employs is their advanced combustion system. This system promotes a cleaner and more efficient burn by maximizing the combustion of wood gases, which in turn reduces smoke emissions and particulate matter. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also complies with stringent regulatory standards. Many Jotul models achieve EPA certification, which signifies their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices.

Another impressive characteristic of Jotul wood stoves is their wide range of styles and designs that can fit into any home decor. Whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary look, there is a Jotul stove to match your aesthetic preferences. The stoves also come in various sizes, making it easy to find one that suits your heating needs, whether for a small cabin or a large family home.

Jotul stoves often include features like air wash systems that keep the glass doors clean by directing a flow of air across the surface, ensuring a clear view of the flickering flames. Additionally, several models are equipped with a versatile cooking option, allowing you to use the stove for heating meals or boiling water in an emergency situation.

Ease of use is another essential feature of Jotul wood stoves. With straightforward controls for adjusting the airflow, you can easily manage the burn rate of the fire and enjoy optimal heat output. The large loading doors make refueling convenient, while the ash pan system simplifies cleanup.

In summary, Jotul wood stoves combine classic design with innovative technology to deliver an efficient, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing heating option for homes. Their commitment to quality and environmental considerations has made them a beloved choice among homeowners who seek both function and beauty in their heating solutions.
