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.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved
for use with open door
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. The specifi ed distance to
fl ammable materials, applies to this stove. The stove must
be installed with a CE approved fl ue. The distance of the
fl ue pipe to combustible materials must also be observed.
•
Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are not
too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should not
be placed within 1100 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.
•
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
3.2 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fi replace.
See "2.0 Technical Data" for specifi ed weight.
We recommend the removal of any fl ooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("fl oating fl oors") beneath the installation.
Jøtul recommends that any fl ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the fl oor plate.

Requirements for protection of wooden
fl ooring beneath the fi replace
The fl oor beneath the fi replace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-infl ammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The fl oor plate must comply
with national laws and regulations. Distance between fl oor and
cassette must be a minimum of 365 mm (see fi g. 1)
Requirements for protection of
infl ammable fl oors in front of the
fi replace
The fl oor in front of the fi replace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-infl ammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The fl oor plate must comply with
national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.3 Walls
•
The product should be placed so that it is possible to clean
the stove, fl ue pipe and chimney outlet.
•
Make sure furniture and other combustible materials do not
get too close to the stove, see safety distances in fi g.1. This
will also prevent them from drying out.
Distance to walls made of combustible material - see fi g. 1a
The stove must be installed with a CE approved fl ue pipe.
European, national and local regulations must be observed
with regard to the safety distances for stoves as well as fl ue
pipes and chimneys. Please note that CE marked fl ue pipes
may have a greater distance to combustible materials, than
the stove.
Distance to combustible wall protected by insulation
Distance to combustible wall protected by fi rewall/insulation:
See fi g. 1.
3.4 Ceiling
The fi replace can be fi tted with the top edge of the hot air
opening of the surround at least 480 mm below a ceiling of
infl ammable material. See Fig. 1b. Ensure there is
adequate ventilation in the top of the cowl – e.g. a gap under
the ceiling.
