Relationship to the
authorities
Jøtul F 500 is a clean-burning product according to U.S.
standards.
The product data plate is enclosed with the instructions manual
inside the product 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. The plate can be attached to the back of the
U.S. rating plate or at the back of the heat shield (sold separately).
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 controlled of a qualified person.
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 i.e. a round flue
pipe of minimum diameter 5” (125 mm), a chimney size of at
least 6” (150 mm) diameter, a square brick flue of at least 5 1/2”
x 5 1/2” (135 x 135 mm) or a factory-made system manufactured
to BS4543 and installed to BS6461.
The minimum height of the chimney must be 12’ (4m). This
height should be measured from the hearth to the top of the
flue. The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction.
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.
