Installations - Jøtul F3 USA Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

USA/Canada
Notices
• Be sure to read this entire manual before you install
or use your new Jøtul F 3.
• If this room heater is not properly installed, a house
fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage, bodily
injury, or even death.
• Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul F
3 installed by a professional installer of solid fuel
burning appliances.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the
room where the stove is operating. Be aware
that operation of an exhaust fan or clothes dryer
can create a low pressure area and consequently
promote flow reversal through the stove and
chimney system. The chimney and building,
however, always work together as a system -
provision of outside air, directly or indirectly to
an atmospherically vented appliance will not
guarantee proper chimney performance. Consult
your local Jøtul authorized dealer regarding
specific installation/performance issues.
• Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Some
fuels will, during combustion, separate carbon
monoxide and generate it in the burn chamber. Carbon
monoxide is toxic, so please follow the guidelines in
this manual for proper operation of your Jøtul F 3.
• If you for some reason experience smoke "roll-out" from
the stove, it may activate smoke detectors if installed
in the house.
Do not connect this stove to any air distribution duct or
system.

Reminder:
Your local officials have final authority in determining if a
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement, that is
requested by the local authority having jurisdiction, that is
not specifically addressed in this manual, defaults to NFPA
211, and local codes.
In the U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local
codes.
Installing the venting
The Jøtul F 3 can be vented from the top, the rear or from
either the right or left side. Follow the instructions below
for the desired venting location.
Top exit venting
When top exit venting is desired, use a 3mm allen wrench
to remove the two set screws that secure the top casting
to the sides of the stove and lift off the top casting. Lay
the top casting on a flat surface upside down and remove
the 10mm bolt from the traverse bar and remove the
smoke outlet cover.
Reinstall the top casting, be sure to secure with the two
set screws that were removed. See figure 1.

Rear exit venting
When rear exit venting is desired it will be necessary to
"knock-out" the vent hole from the rear casting.
Remove the top casting of the stove by removing the two
3mm set screws that secures the top to the sides. The set
screws are located on the outside of the stove on the top
of each side panel.
Using a 10mm wrench remove the double rear heatshields
from the back of the stove. Remove the front door to avoid
damage to the glass. Reminder: Loss of the door washer
will result in improper door alignment when reinstalling
the door.
