General safety precautions
Distance to wall made of flammable material and requirements for the floor plate:
Contact your local authorithy to inform you about the local codes and to ensure that your installation is safe and legal. See fig. 1.
Requirements for the floor plate: If the stove will be installed on a combustible floor, a robust, solid, non- combustible layer should cover the floor beneath the stove. This layer should cover an area of at least 300 mm in front of the stove door, and at least 150 mm either side of the opening. (See Building Regulations.) We recommend that you contact the local Jøtul dealer prior to installation.
Uninsulated flue pipe: If uninsulated flue pipes go through floors or walls, the opening must be made of brick or masonry, in such a way that the external surface of the pipe does not get closer to flammable materials than 300
mm.Isolated flue pipes may have a different distance, if necessary refer to fire technical product documentation for the flue pipe.

Measures to prevent fires
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore, respect the following instructions:
•Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials do not get too close to the fireplace. There ought to be a clear distance from the front of the fireplace of at least 600 mm.
•Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may damage the product.
•The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if touched.
•Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where it does not entail a fire hazard. Refer to local regulations.
•Any stove should have a storage container made of non- flammable material as a standard accessory for the safe disposal of soot and ashes. Soot and ashes must be stored in this container for at least a week in order to be certain that the last ember has been extinguished. If the container needs to be emptied before this, add plenty of water to the container and stir.
•You may want to keep the ash. It is a first class fertilizer for roses and other plants.

Air circulation
Using a fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air to the room where the product is installed. If the house is sealed, the room ought to be equipped with extra fresh air supply through vents. Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace. This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses into the room. In order to avoid this, it is possible to bring in outside air directly to the stove by using an adapter (extra unit) that is mounted to the air
