6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Glass Cleaning
From time to time, clean off the accumulated ash from the
inside surfaces of the glass panels. lf this fly ash is allowed
to remain on the surface for extended periods, it could
eventually cause the glass to become permanently etched
and somewhat cloudy. Any soot deposit on the glass will
burn off during the next hot fire.
D O N O T c l e a n t h e g l a s s w h i l e i t i s h o t .
DO NOT use abrasive materials to clean the glass. Cool
water and a soft cloth or paper towel are usually all that is
required. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing
and dry completely before burning your stove.
6.2 Glass and Gasket Replacement
To prevent cracking of the glass operate the doors gently.
Do not shut the door by striking or slamming.
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN
GLASS. Replace the panel only with the correct Jøtul
replacement glass, PN 128101. Do not use substitutes.
The glass can be replaced with the door still mounted to
the stove or the door can be removed and placed on a flat
working surface.
The replacement glass gasket is self-adeshive. Measure
enough gasket to go from the upper right corner of the
glass, down the right side, across the bottom and back up
to the upper left corner and then add about 2-1/2".
NOTE: THE TOP OF THE GLASS IS NOT GASKETED. This allows
a small amount of air to enter through that area to help
keep the glass clean.
• Peel off about 10" of the self-adhesive backing strip.
Leaving about 1-1/4"of gasket "tail" overlapping, apply
the gasket to the groove on the door, making sure that
the adhesive is facing the door.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Peel off the remaining adhesive backing and apply the
remaining gasket, again leaving a "tail" at the upper
left corner.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Center the glass panel left and right on top of the
gasket. Slide the glass toward the bottom of the door
until it contacts the stops.
• Hold the glass in place with your hand and wrap the
gasket "tails" over the top of the glass and down the
outer edges. You will have to twist the gasket so the
adhesive will face the glass. Press the "tails" firmly on
the glass.
• Replace the air control slide and the upper and lower
retainer manifolds and screws.
10
Glass retainers should be tightened gradually, following an
alternating pattern similar to tightening vehicle lug nuts.
Do not over-tighten. It may be necessary to retighten once
again after the stove has been burned and the new gasket
has seated.
6.3 Door Gasket
Gaskets are a wear item which must be replaced ocassonally.
To check the front door gasket, put a dollar bill halfway into
the stove, close and latch the door, and try pulling the dollar
out. lf it can be removed easily, the seal is too loose. Check
several spots around the door. To replace the gasket, scrape
out all old gasket material and gasket cement. Spread a 1/8"
bead of stove cement into the bottom of the groove and
press in new gasket.
Universal Gasket Kit 157050 includes all the gasket needed
for replacement of the F 602 V2 door and glass panel.
The door requires 36" of 1/4" diameter high density gasket.
The gasket between the glass panel and the door receives
very little wear. The best indication that it needs to be
replaced is streaks on the glass caused by air leaking around
the sides of the glass.
6.4 General
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life
of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance. A good
time to do this is when you are cleaning the chimney and
the connector. Thoroughly clean the entire stove. Make sure
the stove and ash bed are stone cold and use a shop vac
to thorougly remove fly ash from around air inlets and the
baffle at the top of the firebox.
In a darkened room, use a strong light to inspect the stove
inside and out for cracks or leaks at corners and joints.
Cracked parts should be replaced. Leaks at joints can be
patched with high-temperature furnace cement.
6.5 Chimney Cleaning
The Jøtul F 602 V2 is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently
when used according to the guidelines in this manual. In
order to maintain proper performance, you should inspect
the chimney and chimney connector at the beginning of
each heating season and then every other month during
the heating season. Clean the chimney whenever creosote
and fly ash accumulation exceeds 1/4 inch in any part of the
system.
Chimney brushes are available from your local Jøtul dealer
or hardware supply store. Your dealer can also refer you to
a reputable, professional chimney sweep who will have all
the equipment to ensure a complete and proper job. Failure
to keep the chimney system free of creosote and build up
could result in a chimney fire.
