NOTICES
·BE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL OR USE YOUR NEW JØTUL OSLO F500 WOOD STOVE.
·IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
·Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul OSLO F500 installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning appliances.
·EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
·Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room where the stove is operating. Operating an exhaust fan or a clothes dryer could create a low pressure area, causing poisonous gases to come out of the stove into the room.
You can prevent low pressure conditions by providing adequate combustion air within 24” but not closer than 12” from the stove. Or, simply install the optional outside air manifold system, which allows the direct connection of air from outside the house to the stove.
·Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Some fuels will, during combustion, separate carbon monoxide and generate it in the burn chamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic, so please follow the guidelines in this manual for proper operation of your Jøtul OSLO F500.
·If you for some reason experience smoke “roll- out” from the stove, it may activate smoke detectors if installed in the house.
