Safety Notices

• Burn solid wood fuel only.
• Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Do not
burn garbage or flammable fluids.
• 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 loss of life.
• Contact the local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
• Do not connect this stove to any air distribution duct or
system.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact will 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. In some cases,
the optional Outside Air Kit #154335 can be used to
alleviate this condition. The chimney and building,
however, always work together as a system - provision
ofoutside 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.
• Jøtul recommends that this stove be installed by a
professional solid fuel technician or that you consult
one if you do the work yourself. Also, consult your
insurance company regarding any other specific
requirements.

Installation

If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Contact the local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your
area.
Your local officials have final authority in determining if a
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement 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.
