Use; Choice Of Fuel - Jøtul I 160 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

4.7 Set up/installation
Assembly of the chimney
1. Initially, assemble and provisionally position the insert
without making any holes in the chimney.
2. The insert may be assembled with either an Ø150 mm (dia.)
or an Ø175 mm(dia.). The flue pipe bend should be assembled
directly onto the insert and should be able to be turned
through 360º. The flue pipe bend Ø150 mm (dia) is fitted to
the inside of the smoke outlet and Ø175 mm (dia) is fitted
to the outside of the smoke outlet. Make sure the flue pipe
has a sweeping hatch with reversal in order to ensure that
sweeping is possible.
3. Adapt the flue pipe's length with an overlap of 40 mm, both
in the flue pipe bend and in the chimney collar.
4. Press the appropriate flue pipe into the chimney collar. Fix
this in place by means of the provided gasket cord.
5. Place the insert in its final position. Use the gasket cord/
furnace cement to install the flue pipe bend in the insert's
flue pipe collar and in the appropriate pipe.
6. The flue pipe bend must be attached to the smoke outlet at
the front edge with an M6 self cutting screw (fig. 10D). Use
an Ø 5,5 mm drill and make a hole in the flue pipe for the
screw.
NB! It is important that the joints are completely sealed.
Otherwise the operation of the fire may be impaired.
To avoid the product to tip forward, the two brackets in the sides
are to be used. See fig.7A.
• Loosen the screws and push the steel brackets towards the
sides of the surronding.
• Refasten the screws.
4.8 Control of functions (fig. 6)
When the product is set up, always check the control functions.
These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.
Air vent control (A)
Left position = closed
Right position = fully open
Ignition vent control (B)
Pushed in = closed
Pulled out = open

5.0 Use

5.1 Choice of fuel

Always use quality firewood. This will give you optimal results,
and will not cause any damage to the product.
5.2 Jøtul's definition of quality firewood
With good quality firewood we mean logs of, for example: Birch,
beech and oak.
Good quality wood should be dried so that the water content is
approx. 20%.
To achieve that, the wood should be cut during late winter or early
spring, then cut and stacked to ensure proper airing and covered
to prevent it from absorbing rainwater. The logs should be taken
indoors in autumn for use during the winter season.
The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood varies very
little. On the other hand the specific weight of the different kinds
of wood varies considerably. As an example, a certain volume of
birch will provide less kWh than the same volume of oak, which
has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy produced by 1 kg quality wood is about
3,8 kWh.1 kg of completely dry wood (0 % humidity) produces
approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level of 60%
produces only around 1,5 kWh/kg.
Consequences of using damp wood may include:
• Appearance of soot/tar on the glass, in the fireplace and in
the chimney.
• The fireplace emits little warmth.
• Risk of chimney fire as a consequence of accumulation of soot
in the fireplace, flue pipe and chimney.
• The fire may die out.
Be especially careful never to lay a fire using any of the following
materials:
• 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.
N.B. Never use combustible liquids such as petrol, kerosene, red
spirit or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm to both
yourself and the product.
5.3 Log length and amount
The maximum length of logs to be used is 40 cm. Nominal heat
emission from a Jøtul I 160 is 6 kWh. The requirement for nominal
heat emission is 2,1 kg of quality firewood per hour.
The Jøtul I 160 is a product that uses an extra air supply to enable
the afterburning of hazardous gases and particles. It is important
that the system is used correctly.
Another important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the
logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: Approx 30 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fire: 8 - 10 pieces
