3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul stoves
must be fitted by a qualified installer.
Any modifications 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 fireplace 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.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplace are given in fig. 1a and fig. 1b.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 metre of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

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 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights. It is recommended that flooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called floating
flooring – is removed during installation.
Combustible floor protection
If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, cover the
floor under and in front of the fireplace with a plate of metal or
other non- combustible material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. should be removed from under the floor plate.
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.2 Walls (Fig. 1)
Distance to wall made of combustible
material
You may use the fireplace with an uninsulated flue pipe provided
the distances to walls made of combustible materials are as
shown in fig. 1b.
Distance to wall with insulated flue pipe: See * fig. 1b and fig. ** 1b.
