7.0 Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fi replace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi replace, you should regularly allow the fi re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating eff ect from your product. It is a good idea
to do this when cleaning the chimney and fl ue pipes.
7.2 Sweeping fl ue pipes to the chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the fl ue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening.
One of the baffl es will have to be removed fi rst in order to do this.
7.3 Inspection of the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fi replace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. Check all visible
surfaces for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and
that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing
signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer) and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.
7.4 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years' usage.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new paint is applied.
