Operating Instructions - Jøtul I 18 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Assembly of ducts for combustion air (fig. 6)
See «4.3 Air supply».
Note! All the channels in the installation must be made of fire-
proof materials.
1. If combustion air supply from outdoors is required, a duct
must be fitted to the flange at the right hand side (fig. 6B),
as viewed from front. If the chimney is rather short, or the
draught condition is poor, it is advisable to use both air
inlets situated on top of the insert.
Insert the adapter (fig. 6C) through the flange.
.
. Place the flange over the inlet hole and fasten with the nut.
Fasten the other flange likewise.
4. Fasten the duct(s) to the adapter with a hose clamp.
Assembly of baffle plate and burn plates
(fig. 3 and 4)
Put the straight back edge of the baffle plate (fig. 3A) onto
1.
the rib on the back wall. Ensure that the two «feet» are
standing on the top of the two cams of the side walls.
Place the side burn plates (fig. 4C) and then the rear burn
.
plate (fig. 4D).
. Place the ash plate (fig. 4G) next to the bottom frame.
Adjustment of doors (Panorama - Harmony)
- fig. 4
1. Loosen the two bolts (fig. 4F) in each upper corner. Leave
the bottom bolts fastened.
. Push the upper part of the frame to the right or to the left
until the door lines up with the frame. Fasten the two bolts.
. The Panorama door is delivered right hinged from factory.
If left hinging is desired the door and the frame must be
removed from the burn chamber. Note how the frame is
assembled. Cut the gaskets exactly in the slot of the joints
and disassemble the frame.
4. The hinge part changes place with the lock part (upside/
down). The upper and lower framepart remains in its
positions.
5. Assemble the frame and install it onto the burn chamber.
Fasten bolts and control if the door lines up with the frame.
4.8 Control of functions (fig. 4)
When the product is set up, always check the control functions.
These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.
Ignition vent (A) and air vent (B)
Left position = closed
Right position = fully open

5.0 Operating instructions

5.1 Choice of fuel
Always use quality firewood. This will give you optimal results,
and will not cause any damage to the product.
5.2 Jøtul's definition of quality firewood
With good quality firewood we mean logs of, for example: Birch,
beech and oak.
Good quality wood should be dried so that the water content is
approx. 20%.
To achieve that, the wood should be cut during late winter or early
spring, then cut and stacked to ensure proper airing and covered
to prevent it from absorbing rainwater. The logs should be taken
indoors in autumn for use during the winter season.
The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood varies very
little. On the other hand the specific weight of the different kinds
of wood varies considerably. As an example, a certain volume of
birch will provide less kWh than the same volume of oak, which
has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy produced by 1 kg quality wood is about
,8 kWh.1 kg of completely dry wood (0% humidity) produces
approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level of 60%
produces only around 1,5 kWh/kg.
Consequences of using damp wood may include:
• Appearance of soot/tar on the glass, in the fireplace and in
the chimney.
• The fireplace emits little warmth.
• Risk of chimney fire as a consequence of accumulation of soot
in the fireplace, flue pipe and chimney.
• The fire may die out.
Be especially careful never to lay a fire using any of the following
materials:
• Household waste, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic)
• Chipboard or laminated boards
• Driftwood
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
N.B. Never use combustible liquids such as petrol, kerosene, red
spirit or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm to both
yourself and the product.
5.3 Log length and amount
The maximum length of logs to be used is 50 cm. Nominal heat
emission from a Jøtul I 18 is 10,0 kWh. The requirement for
nominal heat emission is 3,1 kg of quality firewood per hour.
An important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the logs
are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: Approx 30 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fire: 8 - 10 pieces
