Assembly of the chimney
• Initially, assemble and provisionally position the insert
without making any holes in the chimney
• The flue pipe must be attached to the smoke outlet at the
front edge with an M6 self cutting screw (6D). Use an Ø 5.5
mm drill and make a hole in the flue pipe for the screw.

5.0 Operating instructions

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
. See fig.
1.
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 35 cm. Nominal
heat emission from a Jøtul I 350 / Jøtul I 350 FL is 8.0 kWh. The
requirement for nominal heat emission is 2.6 kg of quality
firewood per hour.
The Jøtul I 350/Jøtul I 350 FL 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
Firewood (split logs):
Recomended length: 30-35 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes
Size of the fire: 2,0 kg
Mengde pr. ilegg: 3 stk.
5.4 Initial lighting
• Light the fire as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fire for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the first time.
Painted products: The fireplace may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not
toxic, but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the
fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fireplace the first few times it is used. This must be wiped
off to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats
up.
5.5 Daily use
The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fireplace,
meaning that each fire should burn down to embers before
new firewood is added.
