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 semi-annually. 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

OF COURSE, 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. Conveniently, the F 3 CB is equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy ash removal, without the need for opening the front doors.

The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of the stove. To open the ash door insert the pin on the end of your specially designed ash tool into the hole on the ash door latch. Rotate the door counterclockwise to unlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door.

Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation 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, which might deposit on the glass, will burn off during the next hot fire.

The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:

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 your stove.

IMPORTANT:

REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH A CERAMIC GLASS PANEL SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE JØTUL F 3 CB. DO NOT USE SUB- STITUTES. REPLACEMENT GLASS PAN- ELS CAN BE ORDERED THROUGH YOUR JØTUL DEALER.

Glass Removal: Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously 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 this procedure for replacement:

NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH A CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.

1.Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.

2.Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of the door.

3.Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasketing.
