Daily Use; Lighting The Fire - Jøtul C 24 Installation And Operation Instructoins

Fig. 27
A
Lukket/Closed
• The inlet air lever (Fig. 27A) is behind the front. If an outside
air duct (Chapter 4.4) is installed, the lever must be in the
closed position. Turn it to the left.
• If an outside air duct is not installed, the lever must be in the
open position. Turn it to the right.
NB! The only time this lever needs to be set is when the product
is installed.

Lighting the fire

• Open the ignition and air vents by turning the control levers
to the right. (Use a glove or something similar in case the
control levers are hot).
• Place two logs at the bottom of the burn chamber and pile
the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fire.
After lightning
• Close the ignition vent (Fig. 26 B) when the wood has caught
fire properly and is burning well.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the heat
you want by adjusting the air vent (Fig. 26A).
• Check that afterburning (secondary combustion) starts. This is
best indicated by yellow () flames in front of the holes under
the baffle (Fig. 26C).
• If the chimney draught is normal, the fire will take care of
itself.
Important! An inadequate air supply can lead to poor
high emissions and a lower level of efficiency
Adding firewood
• Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of
fuel at a time.
• If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney.
• Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
• Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
• The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from
the chimney is almost invisible..
4.13 Warning against overheating
Never overstoke the fireplace!
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the stove glow red. If this happens, reduce the air
vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). (See «4.7
Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe) for information.).

5.0 Daily use

Odours when using the fireplace for the first time!
Åpen/Open
When the fireplace is used for the first time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This is because the paint
on the outside is drying. The gas is not toxic but you should open
some windows to ensure the room is thoroughly ventilated. Let
the fire burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or odours can be detected.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved for
use with open door.
Please note! Parts of the wood-burning stove, especially the outer
surfaces, become hot during use. Please exercise due care!
5.1 Operation
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room should
be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them up to room
temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See the
section on "Wood quality".
Wood quality
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no more
than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut no later than in late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter
combustion,
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel
in your fireplace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the stove and are also pollutants
.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids
to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and
damage to the product.
