Complete the following steps for the proper break-in procedure for the F 3 CB:

1.Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only,

only allow the stove to reach a maximum surface temperature of 200°. Burn for approximately 1 hour.

2.Allow stove to cool to room temperature.

3.Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a maximum temperature of 300° for 1 hour.

4.Cool the stove to room temperature.

5.Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach a surface temperature of 400°

6.Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the “break-in” procedure.

Never allow the stove to exceed a 400° surface temperature during any “break-in fire” with the exception of the last “break-in” fire.

Note: IT IS NORMAL for a new painted stove to emit an odor and even smoke during its first several fires. This is caused by the seasoning of the high temperature paint and will diminish with each fire and will eventually disappear. Opening a window or door to provide additional ventilation will reduce the odor as this process takes its course.

NEVEROVERFIRETHESTOVE.

IFANYPART OF THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY GLOWS, YOU ARE OVERFIRING, AND A HOUSE FIRE OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR CHIMNEYCOULD RESULT. IMMEDIATELYCLOSE DOWN THE AIR CONTROL IF YOU NOTICE THIS CONDITION.

Starting and Maintaining a Fire

Burn only solid wood directly on the bottom grate of the stove, do not elevate the fire in any way.

The ash pan door on the stove must always be securely closed when the stove is in operation.

Burning the stove with the ashpan open will over-fire the stove and cause interior damage.

With the primary air control lever and the start-up air control lever in the full open position (far right), start

with several sheets of crumbled newspaper placed directly on the grate. On top of the newspaper, place several pieces of small dry kindling (approx. 1” in diameter) with two to three larger logs (approx. 3” to 5” in diameter) on top.

Light the fire and close the door, slowly building the fire by adding larger and larger logs. Close the start- up air contrlo lever after the fire is established and new fuel lights easily. Be sure to follow the break-in procedure before creating a fire that will damage the stove.

Once the stove has reached a surface temperature range of between 400° and 600°, adjust the primary air control lever as necessary to generate the heat output and burn time desired.

Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove top thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of the stove. The optimum surface temperature range for the most efficient burn is between 400° and 600°. See figure 16 below for the optimum locations of a stove-top thermometer.

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.
