Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 400 with the front door fully open and the firescreen in place or fully closed. A partially opened door may result in overfiring. Also, if the door are left partly open, gas and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke.

Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)

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, clean burn is between 400° and 600°.

Outside Air Kit (#154335)

Your local building code may require that an outside air supply be connected to the stove. Jøtul Outside Air Kit 154335 must be used in these installations unless otherwise specified by the local code official.While the use of outside air may be beneficial in some installations, in itself, such a system does not guarantee proper chimney performance. The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter collar to attach the air duct to the stove. Installation will require these additional materials not included in the kit:

1.3” (80 mm) diameter flexible metallic Air Duct - of appropriate length to reach from the stove to the outside of the house.

2.Weatherproof Duct Cap for the duct termination on the outside of the house.

3.Rodent Screen - no larger than 1/4” (5 mm) mesh.

Outside air should be considered if:

1.The stove does not “draw”steadily. Smoke rollout occurs when the door are opened. Fuel burns poorly. Backdrafts occur with or without a fire burning.

2.Other fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft whether or not there is combustion present.

3.Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

4.The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air.

5.There is excessive condensation on the windows in the winter.

6.A ventilation system is installed in the house.

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is inadequate to supply sufficient air for the stove, additional combustion air should be provided from the outdoor. Outside combustion air can be provided to the appliance by the following means:

1.Direct connection: The Jøtul F 400 has been tested and approved for use with the outside air kit listed above.

2.Indirect method: Outside air is ducted to a point no closer than (12”) 300 mm from the stove, to avoid affecting

USA/Canada

the performance of the appliance.

3.A mechanical ventilation system: If the house has a ventilation system (air change or heat recovery):

a.The ventilation system may be able to provide sufficient combustion makeup air for the solid-fuel appliance.

b.The homeowner should be informed that the ventilation system might need to be rebalanced by a ventilation technician after installation of the appliance.

Note: Provision of outside air to the stove, directly or indireclty, may fail to remedy the problems outlined above. Chimney performance is determined by a variety of interelating factors which may not be affected by the air supply. Your local Jøtul authorized dealer is your best resource for information regarding chimney and stove performance issues.

Floor Bracket Kit (#750304)

Use of the Floor Bracket Kit is required in all mobile home installations to secure the stove to the floor. Complete installation instructions and diagrams are supplied with each Floor Bracket Kit.

Rear Heat Shield (# 154385)

A stove rear heat shield has been specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 to reduce clearances off the rear of the stove to combustible materials. Use of the heat shield does not affect the clearance off the sides of the appliance. See pages 8-9 for specific clearance requirements. Complete installation instructions are supplied with the heat shield.

No other type of heat shield may be used on the rear of the Jøtul F 400 .

Bottom Heat Shield (# 154384)

The bottom heat shield supplied with your stove has been specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 . It is required in all alcove installations. Use of the bottom heat shield does not affect the floor protection requirements described on page 6 of this manual.

No other type of heat shield may be used on the bottom of the Jøtul F 400 .
