Maintenance - Jøtul I 520 F Installation And Operation Manual

ENGLISH
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel
in your fireplace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids
to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and
damage to the product.
5.5 Wood consumption
Wood consumption, at nominal heat output: Approx. 2.3 kg/h.
The size of the logs should be:
Kindling (finely split wood):
Length: 30 - 50 cm
Diameter: 6 - 10 cm
Quantity for kindling: 3 logs weighing 0.6-0.8 kg each and 10 to
12 sticks weighing about 1 kg in total.
Stoking the fire:
Wood (split wood):
Length: 30 - 50 cm
Quantity required each time: 2 or 3 logs weighing 0.7 kg each, i.e.
1.5-2.0 kg each time.
Stoking frequency: Approx. 50 minutes
Nominal heat output is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 40% to 70% and the ignition vent is open 0% to
50%.
When testing in accordance with the EN 13229 standard, the
amount used is 3 pieces of 1.7 kg.
Vent setting: 50% opening of the ignition vent and 50% opening
of the air vent.

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over
the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it
is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).
6.2 Ash removal
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold.
• Use a scoop or similar to remove the ash through the door.
• Always leave some ash as a protective layer on the bottom
of the fireplace.

6.3 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using a
soot remover.
An annual internal cleaning is necessary to get the best heating
effect from your product. It is a good idea to do this when cleaning
the chimney and flue pipes.
6.4 Sweeping flue pipes to the chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening.
6.5 Inspection of the fireplace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fireplace
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.
6.6 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.
