3.0 Connecting to the
chimney

3.1 Masonry Chimney Thimbles

When installing a Jøtul F 600 into a masonry chimney through
a "thimble"(the opening through the chimney wall to the flue),
the thimble must be lined with ceramic tile or metal and be
securely cemented in place.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely inside
the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It may be
necessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly
smaller diameter than standard stove pipe). This special pipe can
be easily installed into a thimble. See figure 5, page 14.
Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does not
protrude into the flue liner, thereby restricting the area the
smoke has to flow through. This bottle-neck will have a negative
affect on the chimney system.
The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble with
refractory cement and the stove pipe leading to the stove should
have a minimum of three screws.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing another
appliance of any kind.
3.2 Hearthmount Into a Masonry
Fireplace
The Jøtul F 600 may be installed into a masonry fireplace
provided the height of the opening is a minimum of 31".
When installing the Jøtul F 600 into a masonry fireplace, code
requires that the fireplace damper plate be removed or securely
fixed in the open position. A connector pipe must then extend
from the stove's flue exit through the damper area of the
fireplace and into the chimney tile liner. See figure 6, page 14.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the area
of the stove's flue exit, and cannot be more than three times
greater than the cross sectional area of the stove's flue exit.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove, an
approved relining system must be installed to resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be installed
around the connector pipe at the damper frame and sealed with
the proper sealant (usually High-Temp Silicone).
Fireplace installation must also observe the proper clearances
to surrounding trim and mantels (addressed in clearance
section of this manual). In addition, fireplace installations must
also adhere to the floor protection guidelines specified in the
following section.

3.3 Prefabricated Chimneys

When installing the Jøtul F 600 to a prefabricated metal chimney
always follow the pipe manufacture's instructions and be sure
to use the components that are required. This usually includes
some type of " smoke pipe adapter" that is secured to the bottom
section of the metal chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be
secured to it with three sheet metal screws. See figure 7, page 14.

4.0 Clearances to
Combustibles

4.1 Floor Protection

Floor protection under the stove must be constructed of a non-
combustible material for protection from radiant heat, sparks,
and embers.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared together
to prevent sparks from falling through to combustible materials.
Any carpeting must be removed from under the floor protection.
In the U.S. and Canada
The Jøtul F 600 must be installed on a non-combustible surface
extending:
A minimum of 18" (460mm) in front of the stove and the right
side load door (measured from the legs).
And 8" (200mm) on the left side and back of the stove (measured
from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
55"W X 50"D. See figure 8, page 14.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also extend
under the stove pipe a minimum of 2" (50mm) beyond either
side of the pipe.
A hearth pad measuring 45" wide X 53" deep can be used.
However, use of the right side load door is prohibited when this
size hearth is used; because access to the firebox is only allowed
through a door that has a minimum of 18" (460mm) of hearth
protection.
When constructing a new hearth or floor pad, consult appendix a
at the back of this manual for alternate materials and methods.

4.2 Clearances to Walls and Ceilings

The following clearances have been tested to UL and ULC
standards and are the minimum clearances specifically
established for the Jøtul F 600.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you must
maintain when installing the Jøtul F 600 near combustible
surfaces. See pages 16-17.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock,
wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to
those that are visible and also include materials that are behind
non-combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult
your local fire officials. Contact your local building officials about
restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
Remember: " Fire Resistant" materials are considered combustible;
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also "Fire-rated" sheet
rock is also considered combustible.
