1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of the

door.

3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using a

wire brush.

5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the new

gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope.

6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall

the glass clips. See figure 13, page 15.

Important: The side of the glass treated with an infrared coating
(marked on the perimeter) should always be facing outward.
It is extremely important to tighten the glass clips slowly and
in a repeating pattern, like tightening the lugs on an automobile
wheel.
It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the stove
has burned and the gasketing has been seated.

Important:
Replace glass only with a ceramic glass panel specifically
designed for the Jøtul F 500. Do not use substitutes.
Replacement glass panels can be ordered through your Jøtul
dealer.

General maintenance

Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life of your
stove. The following procedures do not take long and are
generally inexpensive, but when done consistently, increase
the life of your stove and in turn, increase your years of
enjoyment.

At least once a year you should perform the following
maintenance procedures:

1. Thoroughly clean the stove. Enamel surfaces should be

cleaned with soap and water.

2. Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum for

this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for ashes.

3. Inspect the stove: Using a strong light 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 window gaskets for tightness.
To check the seal of the front doors, close and latch the doors
on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it can
be easily removed then the seal is too loose. Check several
spots around the door, and repeat the procedure on the ash
pan door as well.

If gaskets need to be replaced, scrape out the old gasket
and cement and clean the area with a wire brush.

Apply a small bead of cement and push in the new gasket.

After closing and latching the doors wipe clean any excessive
cement that has come from beneath the gasketing.

The Jøtul F 500 is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently when
used according to the guidelines expressed in these operating
instructions. However, to maintain the proper performance, a
yearly chimney inspection and cleaning is necessary. Failure to
keep the chimney system free of creosote and build up could
result in a serious chimney fire.
