7.0 General Maintenance

As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong
the life of your stove and ensure satisfactory
performance.
• Enamel Care:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp
cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These
can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit juices will also
cause stains.
• Avoid contact with metal objects. Trivets, kettles, or
pots, can damage the enamel.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a
vacuum for this job if the vacuum is specifically
designed for ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace
all cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with
furnace cement.

Gaskets

Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To
check the seal of the front door, close and latch the
door on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar
bill free. You should feel resistance as you pull. If it can
be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Check several
spots around the door.
Gasket Replacement
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket
from the door.
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.
4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement to
seat it in the channel. Close and latch the door and
then reopen. Wipe away any excess cement that
may have squeezed out from around the gasket.

Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)

Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of
the stove.
The optimum surface temperature range for the most
efficient performance is 400

Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)

This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed on
stoves using double wall chimney connector to
provide additional protection to combustible materials
from heat radiating from the flue collar of the stove.
The insulating properties of double wall pipe result
in higher flue temperatures in this area than are
generated in single wall connectors.
