Ensure that only one stove is served by the chimney or flue
system.

Ensure that the chimney or flue is structurally sound. In
particular, it must not be possible for products of combustion
to come into contact with combustible materials in the structure
of the building.
In some situations it may be advisable to fit a flue liner prior to
the installation of the stove. Your installer will advise if this is
necessary.

NOTE: A guide is published by the British Flue and Chimney
Manufacturers’ Association that contains general information
on chimneys and flues.

If any of the pre-installation checks reveal inadequacies, do
not proceed with the installation of the stove until all defects
or deficiencies have been rectified.

General safety precautions

Distance to firewall or protected wall

Contact your local authorithy to inform you about the local
codes and to ensure that your installation is safe and legal.

Distance to wall made of flammable material

By using a heat shield (sold separately) the distance can be as
shown in fig. 2. We recommend that you contact the local
Jøtul dealer prior to installation.

If the stove will be installed on a floor made of a flammable
material, the whole floor underneath the stove, and according
to DIN 18891 at least 500 mm in front of the stove and to the
left of the stove - sideways 300 mm
, must be of a non-
flammable material. The size depends on the local codes and
regulations, and we recommend that you contact the local Jøtul
dealer prior to installation. (See also measures EN-standards
fig. 2 A + B). In addition a heat shield (sold separately) must be
mounted under the ash pan.

Uninsulated flue pipe: If uninsulated flue pipes go through
floors or walls, the standard require that 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
230 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:

Always use a spark catcher if the product is to be utilised
with an open door.

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.
