Safety Notices
• BURN SOLID, NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. DO NOT
BURN ANY OTHER FUEL.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMABLE FUELS.
• DO NOT USE A GRATE OR ELEVATE THE FIRE. BUILD THE
FIRE DIRECTLY ON THE HEARTH.
• IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
• ANY EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM MUST BE INSPECTED
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
• 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. USE A CHILD GUARD SCREEN TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY SMALL CHILDREN.
• INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE LIVING AREA AND
BEDROOMS OF YOUR HOME. TEST THEM REGULARLY
AND INSTALL FRESH BATTERIES TWICE ANNUALLY.
WHEN INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE,
A SMOKE OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SHOULD
BE LOCATED AS FAR FROM THE STOVE AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENT THE ALARM SOUNDING WHEN ADDING FUEL.
• 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
of outside 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 strongly 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.
