6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Door Latch Adjustment
Over time, as the door gasket becomes compressed, it may
be necessary to adjust the door latch in order to maintain
the integrity of the door seal. To check the front door seal,
close and latch the door on a dollar bill and slowly try to
pull the bill free. You should feel resistance as you pull. If
it can be easily removed, the seal is too loose. Follow this
procedure to tighten the latch mechanism.
Tools Required:
• 4 mm hex key
1. Remove the two socket head screws and latch keeper
from the stove. See fig. 18.
2. Remove one of the shim plates from the latch cavity
and re-install the latch keeper. Retain the shim plate(s)
removed for future use.
3. Test the seal integrity using the dollar bill.
The door gasket will compress over time. When the latch
can no longer be tightend by shim removal, install a new
gasket and replace the shim plates.

6.2 Glass Care

Cleaning
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits
and fly ash off of the glass. If these deposits are allowed
to remain on the glass for an extended period of time, the
surface may become etched and cloudy. Any creosote that
might develop on the glass will burn off during the next hot
fire.
Follow this glass cleaning procedure:
1. Glass must be completely cool.
2. Only use cleaning products specifically formulated
to clean solid fuel appliance glass and follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Use of abrasive compounds
or solutions will damage the glass. DO NOT USE
AMMONIA-BASED GLASS CLEANERS.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the stove.
Polish with a piece of newspaper.
Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully to
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door to
push wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked or
broken follow the replacement procedure in Section 6.5.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass
panel.
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel
PN 224923 specifically designed for the Jøtul F 45, available
from your local Jøtul dealer. Do not substitute any other
glass.

6.3 General Care

Regular maintenance will ensure excellent performance
and prolong the life of your stove. The following procedures
do not take long and are generally inexpensive. When
performed consistently, they will lengthen the life of your
stove and in turn, provide many years of service.
• Regularly empty the stove of all soot and ashes. Only
use a vacuum for this job if the vacuum is specifically
designed to handle ashes. CAUTION: Ashes can contain
live embers. Be certain the ash bed contains no live
embers before using a vacuum.
• Inspect the stove: Using a strong light inspect the stove
inside and out for cracks or leaks.
• Replace any broken bricks. See fig. 35, page 25. DO NOT
OPERATE THE STOVE WITH BROKEN OR MISSING BRICKS.
