OPERATION

Before building a fire in your new F 3 CB, please read the following section carefully and completely.

Do Not Burn

First this stove is designed to burn natural wood ONLY, wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will provide the cleanest most efficient heat.

Do not burn:
*Coal	*Treated or painted wood
*Garbage	*Chemical Chimney cleaners
*Cardboard	*Colored paper
*Solvents	*Any synthetic fuel or logs

The burning of any of these materials can result in the release of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen-up” the fire. Always keep such liquids away from the heater at all times.

IMPORTANT

NEVER BUILD OR ALLOW THE FIRE TO REST DIRECTLY ON THE GLASS. THE LOGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE SPACED AT LEAST ONE INCH FROM THE GLASS TO ALLOW FOR PROPER AIR FLOW WITHIN THE STOVE.

Controls on the F 3 CB

There are two air controls on the F 3 CB woodstove.

The primary air control lever is located on the front of the stove in the top right corner. The primary air lever controls the amount of air that enters the stove for combustion.

The start-up air control lever is located below the glass in the center of the front door. This control is for “start - up” air only and should not be used to freshen an existing fire or during refueling. Never leave the stove unattended while this control is open, overfiring could result which can damage the appliance. See figure 15.

START-UP AIR CONTROL	PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
	FAR LEFT = LESS AIR,

RIGHT = OPEN POSITION	FAR RIGHT = INCREASES AIR
	SUPPLY AND HEAT OUTPUT.

When first starting a fire: the primary control lever should be at the far right position, and the start-up air lever should be in the far right position. This will allow for the maximum amount of air to enter the stove and assist in starting the fire quickly and most effectively.

Once the fire is established the start-up air lever should be closed and the primary air lever should be adjusted according to the amount of heat desired.

Remember: the more air entering the stove the hotter the fire the shorter the burn time. Moving the primary air lever to the left reduces the air-flow into the stove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output. See figure 15.

Breaking in your new stove

Your new F 3 CB is constructed of cast iron and stove furnace cement. This type of construction requires the stove to be “broken-in” gradually so that heat expansion does not occur too quickly and cause damage.

To monitor the stove’s temperature, Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top thermometer, placed directly on the corner of the stove’s top plate.
