6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the
quantity will depend on the local draught conditions and
adjustment of the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally
be burned off when the air vent is opened all the way and a fi re
is burning briskly in the fi replace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel
with warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber.
Rub it over the glass and then clean the glass with clean water.
Dry well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly
we recommend using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions
on the bottle).
6.2 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fi replace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi replace, you should regularly allow the fi re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary
to get the best heating eff ect from your product. It is a good
idea to do this when cleaning the chimney and fl ue pipes.
6.3 Sweeping fl ue pipes to the
chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the fl ue pipe sweeping
hatch or through the door opening. The baffl e and exhaust
defl ector must be removed fi rst.
6.4 Inspection of the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fi replace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. Check all visible
surfaces for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed
and that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets
showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer) and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.
6.5 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years'
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of
any loose particles before new paint is applied.
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a clean, dry
cloth. Do not use water and soap. Any stains can be removed
with a cleaning fl uid (oven cleaner etc.).
