Relationship to the authorities

Jøtul F 400 is a clean-burning product for solid fuel.

Installation of a fireplace must be according to local codes and regulations in each country. Always contact your local building inspector or the appropriate authority responsible for local codes and regulations in your district.

Your dealer has been specially selected for his knowledge of your local codes and may provide assistance in ensuring that your installation is safe and legal.

Instructions for mounting, installation and use are enclosed with the product. The installation may only be used when it has been inspected and a certificate of completion has been issued.

The product data plate is located on the bottom heat shield and is made of heat-resistant material. The following information is listed on the data plate: Manufacturer and address,model number, manufacturing number, rated heat output, registration number (after assignment), style, and safety measurements.

Pre-installation checks

Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the room in which the stove is to be installed. An air brick or wall vent with a minimum size of 9” x 3” (230 x 75mm) is needed to supply air to the fire.

Insufficient ventilation may cause oxygen depletion in the room. This can lead to drowsiness, nausea and sickness and is extremely dangerous.

It is important to ensure that the chimney or flue system to which the stove is to be connected is working properly. Combustion by-products which pervade enclosed spaces such as a room represent a serious health risk. The chimney and/or flue system must therefore be inspected and approved by a qualified professional prior to installation.

Special attention must be paid to the following:

The chimney or flue system must comply with the Building Regulations for heat producing appliances.

The minimum height of the chimney must be 12’ (4m). This height should be measured from the hearth to the top of the flue. Any damper plates or flue restrictors must be removed and no restrictor plates should be fitted.Where it is impractical to remove dampers or restrictors, these must be secured in the open position.

The chimney or flue must be sound and clean. If it has been used with a wood, coal or other solid fuel fire, it must be swept before the stove is installed. Ensure that only one stove is served by the chimney or flue system.
