Assembly Before Installation

Unpack the Stove

Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer immediately if any damage is found. Do not install the stove if any damage is evident.

Flue Collar Reversal

The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. If a Rear Exit position is required, remove the two mounting bolts, and turn the collar 180 degrees. Secure the collar using the same bolts, nuts and washers.

Chimney Connector

Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to connect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe must be black iron or stainless steel and have a minimum thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe for chimney connection - these materials are not suitable for use with solid fuel.

Follow these guidelines regarding chimney connector construction:

•Do not use chimney connector as a chimney.It is intended only for use as a connection device.

•Each connector section must be oriented with the male (crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 2.

•Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal screws.

•For the best performance, the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, including no more than two 90° elbows.

•The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe should not exceed 10 ft. (305 cm). The maximum horizontal run should not exceed 3 ft. (92 cm) with a 1/4” rise per foot.

•No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in this manual.

•Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing another appliance.

Chimney Requirements

There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul F

400:

1.A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile or listed steel flue liner.

2.A prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL 103 or ULC S629.

The chimney size should not be less than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar, and not more than three times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.

When selecting a chimney type and the location for the chimney in the house, keep this in mind: It is the chimney that makes the stove work, not the stove that makes the chimney work. This is because a chimney actually creates a suction, called “draft” which pulls air through the stove. Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-sectional area (size), and temperature of the chimney, as well as the proximity of surrounding trees or buildings.

A short masonry chimney on the exterior of a house will give the poorest performance. This is because it can be very difficult to warm the chimney thereby creating inadequate draft. In extremely cold climates, it may be necessary to reline the chimney or extend its height to help establish draft.

A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep warm and will perform the best under a variety of weather and environmental conditions.

The following guidelines give the necessary chimney requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211 for the US. And CSA CAN-B365 for Canada). However, many local codes differ from the national code to take into account climate, altitude, or other factors. Your local building inspector is the final approving authority. Consult them prior to installation.

Do not connect the stove to any air distribution duct or system.

Masonry Chimneys

When installing the Jøtul F 400 into a masonry chimney you must conform to all of the following guidelines:

•The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (14 mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least ½” (12.7 mm) air space between the flue liner and chimney wall.

•The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X 8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger than 8”X 12” (20 cm x 30 cm). A round fireclay liner must have a minimum inside diameter of 6” (15 cm) and maximum inside diameter of 8” (20 cm). A larger chimney should be relined with an appropriate code approved liner.
