3.0 Before installation

3.1 Distance to inflammable material
See Fig. 1 A.
3.2 Foundations
You need to make sure the floor is suitable for the entire
installation. See "2.0 Technical data" for specified weight.
Flooring that is not attached to the foundation – "floating floors"
– must be removed beneath the product.
Remember: If a steel chimney resting on the insert is being used,
the weight of the steel chimney must be taken into account.
NB: It is extremely important to ensure that the product is stable;
the surface it is installed on must be completely inflexible.
3.3 Floor covering
The surround has an airtight bottom plate, so no extra floor
covering is required beneath the product.
Any floor covering of inflammable material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the installation area.
3.4 Floor plate
A plate made of steel or some other suitable non-inflammable
metal (optional extra) is placed in front of the hearth.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.5 External air
A flexible supply tube for combustion air must be installed
through a hole in the back of the surround, or else through the
hole cut where marked in the bottom plate. See also point 3.1 in
the manual "Jøtul F 370 Series".
3.6 Steel chimney
If a top-mounted steel chimney is used, an uninsulated pipe
is fitted from the insert to approximately 1 cm over the valve
plate 1 and 2 (part 19+20). A 60 mm offset pipe (optional extra)
must be used. Then fit the steel chimney in accordance with the
operating instructions.

4.1 Prior to installation

1. The standard product is supplied in two packages: the burn
chamber and surround with mounting sections.
2. Once the burn chamber has been unpacked, remove the burn
plates, baffle, exhaust deflector, inner bottom, ash pan and
riddling grate. The small side burn plates and the gasket for
the flue pipe, which can be found in the ash pan, are also
removed.
3. Remove the top plate with the top grate. These parts are not
to be used.
4. Check that there is no visible damage to the product when
you unpack it, and make sure that the control handles move
freely.
5. Spread the cardboard packaging over the floor, and lay the
stove down carefully on its side.
6. The product is supplied from the factory with the smoke
outlet fitted for the top outlet. Select top outlet or rear
outlet. Rear outlet can be installed at the following heights:
1050 mm, 1416 mm (layers 3 or 4), or 1781 mm (layer 5) if using
additional height. Select a stone with a hole drilled in it for
the rear stones. Two of the side stones (part 15) should not
be used with rear outlet.
See point 7 for instructions on installing rear outlet at a height
of 1050 mm. For other heights, continue from point 8.
7. Rear outlet at height 1050 mm:
If rear outlet for the flue pipe at height 1050 mm is selected,
first drill a hole (fig. 20 A) in the removable cover plates for
the smoke outlet before they are knocked out. See also point
3.1 in the Installation Manual for the Jøtul F 370.
Proceed as follows:
• The wooden block that holds the exhaust deflector in place
should be positioned so that it supports the side plates
when the cover plates are knocked out.
• Unscrew the smoke outlet (fig. 16B) from the top outlet.
• Unscrew the cover for the rear outlet from the inside of
the burn chamber (fig. 16A).
• Place the gasket on the edge of the flue pipe (fig. 5A).
• Attach the smoke outlet (fig. 5B) to the end of the flue
pipe with the gasket.
• Secure the cover onto the top outlet (fig. 18) using the
screws that held the smoke outlet in place.
8. Attach the four threaded bars together with sleeves and nuts
(parts 23, 24 and 25) beneath the burn chamber. See fig. 2A+B.
Screw the threaded bars (part 25) into the bottom of the burn
chamber, slide the sleeves (part 24) on and tighten the nuts
(part 23). Make sure that the locking bracket is placed on one
of the two rear sleeves before fitting the nuts, fig. 2B.
