Heat Shield Installation; Door Knob Installation; Chimney Connector - Jøtul F 118 Black Bear Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

1.3 Heat Shield Installation

Consult Section 4 to determine whether or not a heat
shield should be installed.
The Rear and Side shields are perforated to enable you
to use tin snips to remove material to accommodate the
Flue Collar position your installation requires.
Rear Heat Shield:
1. Remove the set screw located at the center of the stove
back plate using the 3 mm hex key included with your
stove.
2. Engage the heat shield stand-offs with the slot at each
side of the back plate and attach the shield to the center
hole using the M6 x 45 hex bolt supplied. See fig. 1.
Side Heat Shield:
1. Use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the two mounting bolts
located under the lip of the stove bottom. See fig. 2.
2. Insert the stand-off clips, (attached to the backside of
the shield), under the lip of the stove Shoulder Plate and
engage the slots in the lower flange with the mounting
screws. Tighten the screws.
Bottom Heat Shield:
The bottom heat shield is pre-installed and must be
used unless the stove hearth is composed of poured
concrete on earth.
1.4 Assemble the Door Knob
1. Locate the white washer between the handle and the
knob and attach to the door latch as shown in fig. 3.

1.5 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 as a connection device.
• Each connector section must be oriented with the male
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 4.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal
screws. The connection to the stove flue collar uses the
two M6x 16 mm self-tapping screws provided.
