1.0 Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed, a house
fire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions
exactly. Contact the local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Your local officials have final authority in determining if a
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement by the local
authority having jurisdiction that is not specifically addressed in
this manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local codes in the U.S. or in
Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local codes.
1.1 Assembly Before Installation
Unpack the Stove
Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer immediately
if any damage is found. Do not install the stove if any damage
is evident.

1.2 Flue Collar Reversal
The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. If a Rear Exit
position is required, remove the two mounting bolts, and turn
the collar 180 degrees. Secure the collar using the same bolts,
nuts and washers.
1.3 Chimney Connector
Use 6" single wall or listed 6" double-wall stovepipe to connect
the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe must be black
iron or stainless steel and have a minimum thickness of 24
gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe for chimney
connection - these materials are not suitable for use with solid
fuel. Attach the flue collar to the chimney connection using 2
self-drilling screws found in the miscellaneous kit.
Follow these guidelines regarding chimney connector
construction:
•
DO NOT USE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS A CHIMNEY. IT IS
INTENDED ONLY TO BE USED A CONNECION DEVICE.
•
Each connector section must be oriented with the male
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 2.
•
Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal screws.
•
For the best performance, the chimney connector should be
as short and direct as possible, including no more than two
90° elbows.
•
The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe should not
exceed 10 ft. (305 cm). The maximum horizontal run should
not exceed 3 ft. (92 cm) with a 1/4" rise per foot.
•
No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through
a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors
must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a
wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the
installation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365,
and is also addressed in this manual.
•
DO NOT CONNECT THIS HEATER TO ANY CHIMNEY SERVICING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

2.0 Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul F 400 :
1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile or
listed steel flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements
for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL 103 or ULC S629.
The chimney size should not be less than the cross-sectional area
of the flue collar, and not more than three times greater than the
cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
When selecting a chimney type and the location for the chimney
in the house, keep this in mind: It is the chimney that makes the
stove work, not the stove that makes the chimney work. It is
the temperature differential between the chimney and the air
outside that initiates and maintains the draft necessary to pull
air into the stove to support combustion.
Several factors beside stove design affect draft strength; chimney
height, cross-sectional area, flue temperature, environmental
conditions such as weather and local geography, as well as the
proximity of surrounding trees or buildings. Weak draft, for
whatever reason, can cause smoke leakage into the room and
poor overall performance.
A short masonry chimney on the exterior of a house will give
the poorest performance. This is because it can be very difficult
to warm the chimney enough to generate adequate draft. In
extremely cold climates, it may be necessary to reline the chimney
or extend its height to help establish draft.
A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep warm and will
perform the best under a variety of weather and environmental
conditions.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney requirements
based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211 for the US. And CSA
CAN-B365 for Canada). However, many local codes differ from
the national code to take into account climate, altitude, or other
factors. Your local building inspector is the final approving
authority. Consult them prior to installation.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS HEATER TO ANY AIR DUCT OR HEAT
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
2.1 Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 400 into a masonry chimney you
must conform to all of the following guidelines:
•
The chimney flue size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the stove flue collar.
•
The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with no
walls exposed to the outside below the roofline shall not be
more than three times the crosssectional area of the stove
flue collar.
•
The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with one or
more walls exposed to the outside below the roofline shall
not be more than two times the cross-sectional area of the
stove flue collar.
•
Larger chimney flues should be relined with a listed or
codeapproved liner.
•
The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or equivalent,
with a minimum thickness of 5/8" (14 mm) and must be
