Safety; Air Supply - Jøtul F 162 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

ENGLISH

Air supply

The outside air connection may be fitted directly to the product
through:
• Through a flexible supply hose from the outside or chimney
(only if the chimney has its own duct for external air) and to
the product's outside air connector.

Important! The knockout for the outside air connection must be
removed from the inside. Use safety goggles.
Tip: It is a great advantage if the rear leg is dismounted before
removing the knockout.
1. Lay the product carefully down on its side. You can put
the cardboard packaging on the floor to protect it from
scratches, etc.
2. Remove the rear leg.
3. Use a heavy mallet and strike hard in the middle of the
knockout.

3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul stoves
must be fitted by a qualified installer.
Any modifications to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning
and safety of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplace are given in fig. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 metre of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
