Safety Precautions; Installation - Jøtul F 8 TD Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

3.0 Safety precautions

3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other combustible materials do
not get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never extinguish it with water.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not present a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation
of outdoor air in the room in which the fireplace is to be
installed.
An inadequate air supply could cause flue gas to escape into the
room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked!
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room.

4.0 Installation

N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
4.1 Assembly prior to installation
1 After unpacking the stove - take out the items which are
packed inside. These items are four legs, an ash lip and a
plastic bag of screws for component assembly.
2 Lift up the top plate. In this way it is easier to move the stove
and to make the installation of the flue pipe more secure.
3 Place the cardboard packaging on the floor and lay the stove,
with the help of an assistant, carefully down on its side.
4 Unscrew the collar head screws in the stove bottom (M 6 x
20), position the leg in a corner and tighten the screws firmly.
Repeat this procedure for the remaining three legs. (Fig. 3 A)
5 Install the ash lip by hooking it onto the front, just below the
door. Secure it by threading the 6 x 16mm collar head screw
provided into the ash lip screw hole (fig. 3 B).
6 Carefully tip the stove back up onto its legs.
7 Screw the door handle knob to the front door handle (fig. 2 C).
Mounting the flue outlet
From the factory the stove is delivered for the outlet to be in
the back.
• Fasten the flue outlet (fig. 4) from within with three screws
(fig. 6 A).
• When installing a top flue outlet, loosen the traverse (fig. 5 A)
and remove the top cover plate.
• Fasten the cover on the back side and replace the top plate.
4.2 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See
«2.0 Technical data» for weights.
Wooden floor protection
Jøtul F 8 TD has a heat shield underneath which protects the
floor from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly
on a wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other
suitable, non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm.
Jøtul recommends that any flooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.3 Walls
Distance to wall made of combustible material
- see fig. 1.
You may use the fireplace with an uninsulated flue pipe provided
the distances to walls made of combustible materials are as
shown in fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used,
e.g. Jøtul Firepanel.
Distance to non combustible walls - see fig. 1.
