Safety - Jøtul F 105 B Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

ENGLISH

3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
recommends that its stoves are fi tted by a qualifi ed
installer (see www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).
Any modifi cations to the product by the distributor, installer or
consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning and
safety of the fi replace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
NB: Parts of the stove, in particular, the external surfaces, get
hot during combustion! Exercise caution!
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are
not too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 900 mm of the fi replace.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-fl ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the fi rebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fi re service.
• Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
Steel chimney
If a top-mounted steel chimney is used, fi t an uninsulated
pipe from the burn chamber to approx. 10 mm over the top
grate. Make sure that the gasket is properly seated between
the fl ue pipe and the smoke outlet. Then fi t the steel chimney
in accordance with the chimney supplier's installation
instructions.

Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fi replace.

We recommend the removal of any fl ooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("fl oating fl oors") beneath the installation.
Jøtul F 105 SL (with short legs)
Jøtul F 105 SL can only be installed on a constructional
hearth which must have an extension of minimum 500
mm in front of the stove. This applies also if the product
rests on a fl oor plate. For further information please see
Approved Document J2010 Section 2.22.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl ooring beneath the fi replace
The function of a fl oor plate is to protect the fl oor and
fl ammable materials against embers.
Jøtul F 105 with legs must have a fl oorplate below and in
front according to national standards and regulations.
Important! The space under the burnchamber of Jøtul F 105
with legs cannot be used for storage.
Any infl ammable fl oor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets,
etc. must be removed from under the product.
Requirements for protection of
infl ammable fl oors in front of the

The front plate must comply with national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
3.3 Walls
Distance to walls made of combustible material - see fi g. b
Distance to combustible wall protected by fi rewall: See

The fi replace may be used with an uninsulated fl ue pipe
provided the distances between the fi replace and walls made
of combustible materials are as shown in fi g. 1b. Alternative
distances with shielded or insulated fl ue pipe are also
displayed in fi g. 1b.
NB: Place the product in such a way that it is possible to clean
the stove, the fl ue pipe and the chimney passage.

not so close as to get dried up by the stove.
