3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
stoves must be fi tted by a qualifi ed installer.
Any modifi cations to the product by the distributor, installer or
consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning and
safety of the fi replace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved
for use with open door
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1A and fi g. 1B.
• Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are
not too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 1,05 metre of the fi replace.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-fl ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the fi rebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fi re service.
Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace and
the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

4.0 Installation

The fi replace surround must have a minimum opening of HxWxD
= 515x715x490 mm. It is also important to allow space for
insulation around the surround. If using a wide frame (optional
extra), it will overlap openings to HxW = 558x755 mm.
A narrow frame is included with the product. It is possible to
move this frame and a wide frame (optional extra) up to 40
mm to make it easier to adapt the product for diff erent fl ue
pipe positions.
4.1 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fi replace.
See "2.0 Technical Data" for specifi ed weight.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl ooring beneath the fi replace
The Jøtul C24 has a heat shield underneath to protect the fl oor
from radiated heat. The product can therefore be positioned
directly on a wooden fl oor that is covered by a sheet of metal
or other non-infl ammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0.9 mm. The plate must cover the entire fl oor
surface within the surround.
We recommend the removal of any fl ooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("fl oating fl oors") beneath the installation.
Any fl oor covering of infl ammable material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the fl oor plate.
Requirements for protection of infl ammable
fl oors in front of the fi replace
The fl oor in front of the fi replace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-infl ammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The fl oor plate must comply with
national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
