1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of the
door.
3. Gently remove the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Using a wire brush, remove all remaining debris from the
glass area .
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and
gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall the
glass clips. See figure 13.
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the stove
has be burned and the gasketing has been seated.
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the glass clips
slowly and in an alternating pattern as you would tighten the
lugs on an automobile wheel.

6.7 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. If it can be easily removed,
the seal is too loose. Check several spots around the door, and
repeat the procedure on the ash pan door as well.
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 any
excess cement squeezed out from around the gasket.

7.0 Accessories

Use only accessories that are specifically designed for use with
the Jøtul F 400.

7.1 Firescreen (# 129650)

The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use as an open fireplace,
with front door open. Care should be taken when operating the
stove as a fireplace.
• Always have the Firescreen in place, attached to the stove
front.
• Never overload the stove. For the best appearance, burn logs
in the traditional three log configuration.
• When you operate the stove with the screen in place,
efficiency is sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics, much as with
a conventional fireplace. Wood will burn at a much faster rate
as combustion air is uncontrolled. Most of the heat value of
the wood will be lost up the chimney.
Not all installations will support the use of the firescreen.
Moderate or low draft conditions may result in smoke spillage
from the stove when using the firescreen.
Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 400 with the front door fully open
and the firescreen in place or fully closed. A partially opened door
may result in overfiring. Also, if the door are left partly open,
gas and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening, creating
risks from both fire and smoke.

7.2 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, clean burn is
between 400° and 600°.

7.3 Outside Air Kit (# 154335)

Your local building code may require that an outside air supply be
connected to the stove. Jøtul Outside Air Kit 154335 must be used
in these installations unless otherwise specified by the local code
official. While the use of outside air may be beneficial in some
installations, in itself, such a system does not guarantee proper
chimney performance.
The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter collar to attach the
air duct to the stove. Installation will require these additional
materials not included in the kit:
1. 3" (80 mm) diameter flexible metallic Air Duct - of appropriate
length to reach from the stove to the outside of the house.
2. Weatherproof Duct Cap for the duct termination on the
outside of the house.
3. Rodent Screen - no larger than 1/4" (5 mm) mesh.
