General safety precautions

Requirements for the floor plate: If the stove is to be
installed on a floor made of a flammable material, the whole
floor underneath the stove, and at least 500 mm in front
of the stove and to the right of the stove, must be covered
by a plate made of a non-flammable material (see measures
fig. 2). The size of the plate depends on the local codes and
regulations, and we recommend that you contact the local
Jøtul dealer prior to installation .
Distance to firewall or protected wall: Contact your local
building authorities regarding restrictions and installation
requirements.
The product side door should not be used when the stove
is installed in a recess or corner.
Uninsulated flue pipe: If uninsulated flue pipes go through
floors or walls, require that the opening must be made of
brick or masonry, in such a way that the external surface
of the pipe does not get closer than 230 mm to any
flammable materials. Isolated flue pipes may have a
different distance, if necessary refer to fire technical
product documentation for the flue pipe.

Measures to prevent fire danger

Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger.
Therefore, respect the following instructions:
• Always use a spark catcher if the product is to be utilised
with an open door.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials
do not get too close to the fireplace. There ought to be
a safe distance from the front of the fireplace to
flammable material. Check your local codes and
regulations.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets hot when used and may cause burns
if touched.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied
where it does not entail a fire hazard. Refer to local
regulations.
• Any stove should have a storage container made of non-
flammable material as a standard accessory for the
safe disposal of soot and ashes. Soot and ashes must
be stored in this container for at least a week in order
to be certain that the last ember has been extinguished.
If the container needs to be emptied before this, add
plenty of water to the container and stir.
• You may want to keep the ash. It is a first class fertilizer
for roses and other plants.

Installation of Jøtul F 600
Note! Check that the stove is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing it.

Foundations

If Jøtul F 600 is to be installed on a wooden structure, ensure
that the floor under the stove has the proper support to
carry the stove.

Chimney

The stove can be connected to a brick, pre-fabricated
element or Jøtul steel chimney. See separate section.
Minimum chimney cross section must be 177 cm
(Corresponding to 150 mm dia.). Connection to chimney must
be done in accordance with the installation instructions
from the supplier of the chimney.

Air circulation

Using a fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air to
the room where the product is installed. If the house is
sealed, the room ought to be equipped with extra fresh air
supply through vents. Avoid using mechanical fan vents in
a room with a fireplace. This may cause negative pressure
and draw poisonous gases into the room.
In order to avoid this, it is possible to bring in outside air
directly to the stove by using an adapter (extra unit) that is
mounted to the air inlet of the stove. From there a flexible
hose is conducted out of the house. The installation
instruction for this is enclosed with the installation unit.

Assembly prior to installation

The product is delivered in one package. A loose handle for
the door is also included. The oval top plate is fastened
with screws during transport. Remove the screws from
underneath the top plate and leave it unattached. This
makes it easier for the chimney sweep when the product
and the flue pipe have to be cleaned.
Undo the ash lips, which are fastened to the top, and install.
The one in front is placed loosely on top of the base plate,
while the side ash lip is fastened with the screw that is
attached to the base plate.
Control of functions (fig. 3)
When the product is set up, always check the control
functions. These shall move easily and function
