General Maintenance
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.
At least once per year you should perform the following maintenance procedures:
•Thoroughly clean the stove. Use a soft cloth with soap and water to clean enamel surfaces. Be sure the stove is cold, before cleaning.
•Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for ashes.
•Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace cement.
Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To check the seal of the front door, close and latch the door on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it can be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Check several spots around the door, and repeat the procedure on the ash pan door as well.
Gasket Replacement
1.Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket from the door.
2.Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3.Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.
4.Gently press the new gasket into the cement to seat it in the channel. Close and latch the door and then reopen. Wipe any excess cement squeezed out from around the gasket.

Chimney System
The Jøtul F 400 is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently when used according to the guidelines in this manual. In order to maintain proper performance, you should inspect the chimney and chimney connector at least twice a year and clean when creosote and fly ash deposits exceed 1/4” in any part of the system. Failure to keep the chimney system free of creosote and build up could result in a serious chimney fire.
Accessories
Use only accessories that are specifically designed for use with the Jøtul F 400 .
Firescreen (# 129650)
The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use as an open fireplace, with front door open. Care should be taken when operating the stove as a fireplace.
•Always have the Firescreen in place, attached to the stove front.
•Never overload the stove. For the best appearance, burn logs in the traditional three log configuration.
•When you operate the stove with the screen in place, efficiency is sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics, much as with a conventional fireplace. Wood will burn at a much faster rate as combustion air is uncontrolled. Most of the heat value of the wood will be lost up the chimney.
Not all installations will support the use of the firescreen. Moderate or low draft conditions may result in smoke spillage from the stove when using the firescreen.
