Operating instructions
Initial lighting and daily use
Jøtul F 500 is a clean-burning product and with additional
supplies of combustion air, it allows for afterburning of
hazardous gases and particles. It is important that the system is
used correctly.
The stove is equipped with certain functions that are described
in the chapter: Control of functions.
Initial lighting
Open the draught vent fully by pushing the vent all the way to
the right (fig. 3-A). Put in some crumpled newspaper, kindling
wood and firewood and start a small fire. Add more firewood
gradually and let the fire burn briskly for a couple of hours. Let
the fire die out and repeat one more time.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the
first time.
Painted products. The stove may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not
toxic, but it is recommended to open a window or a door to
provide additional ventilation in the room. Let the fire burn
with a high draught until all traces of gas have disappeared
and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enameled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the stove the first few times it is used. This must be wiped off
to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats
up.
Daily use
Fire up with the aid of newspapers and some kindling wood.
Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the base.
Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and
add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper. Increase the size of the logs gradually.
Draught vent (fig. 3-A). Regulate when the wood is properly lit
and burns well. Check that the afterburning (secondary
combustion) starts. This is best indicated by yellow, flickering
flames in the air chamber. Then regulate the rate of combustion
to the desired level of heating by adjusting the draught vent.
Always use good quality firewood. It gives the best results and
doesn’t damage the product.
Never burn the following materials in the stove:
-
household waste, plastic bags etc.
- painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic)
- chipboard or laminated boards
- driftwood
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
Note! Never use flammable liquids such as petrol, kerosene,
red spirit or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm to
both yourself and the product.
Note! Danger of overheating: The stove must never be used in
a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating is defined as overfilling the stove with firewood
and/or leaving the draught vent fully open.
The chimney draught should never exceed 2,5 mmVs (25 Pa). A
sure sign of overheating is when parts of the stove glows red.
When this happens, reduce the draught vent opening
immediately.
Warning! Each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.
