In the U.S. refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
•
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for acceptable
materials, proper sizing and construction guidelines.
In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-
•
Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment, also for acceptable
materials, proper sizing and construction guidelines.
Stove Mounted Heat shield: Rear Heat Shield #154385 is approved
for use with the Jøtul F 400 in the US. and Canada. No other heat
shield may be used.
Notice: Many manufacturers have developed woodstove
accessories that permit clearance reduction. Use only those
accessories that have been tested by an independent laboratory
and carry the laboratory's testing mark. Be sure to follow all of
the manufacturer's instructions.
4.4 Alcove Installation
The Jøtul F 400 can be installed in an Alcove as diagrammed in
figures 9 and 10.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall pipe.
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls and rear
wall must be protected per NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365. The
wall protection must be elevated 1" (25 mm) from the floor
and spaced at least 1" (25 mm) off the combustible wall, using
noncombustible spacers, to allow for air circulation behind
the shield.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom air
space must be 48" (121 cm).
4. The Bottom Heat Shield is required in all Alcove
installations.
5. Alcove floor protection must consist of a UL/ULC or WHI listed
hearth pad or a non combustible material with a minimum
R value of 2.0.
6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation, off the
top of the stove is 58"(148 cm). The minimum ceiling height
off the top of the stove in a protected ceiling installation is
36 (91.5 cm).
4.5 Mobile Home Installation
The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use in mobile homes in
the U.S. and Canada with the following stipulations:
1. The stove must be secured to the floor of the mobile home.
Use Floor Bracket Kit #750304.
2. The stove is provided outside air for combustion. Outside Air
Kit #154335 (see page 16 for more details).
3. Use only listed double-wall pipe for the chimney
connection.
4. The stove must be grounded to the mobile home chassis.
5. The stove must otherwise be installed in accordance to 24CRR,
Part 3280 (HUD).
Consult with your local building inspector or fire officials about
restrictions and requirements in your area, prior to installing
the stove.
Warning!
Do not install this stove in a bedroom/sleeping room. Do not
install the stove in any way that might compromise the structural
integrity of the mobile home floor, walls, ceiling, or roof.
5.0 Operation
Please read the following section completely, before building a
fire in your new Jøtul F 400 .
5.1 Use Solid Wood Fuel Only
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Wood that
has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will provide the
cleanest, most efficient heat.
Do not burn:
*Coal
*Treated or painted wood
*Garbage
*Chemical Chimney cleaners
*Cardboard
*Colored paper
*Solvents
*Any synthetic fuel or logs
The burning of any of these materials can result in the release
of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
"freshen-up" the fire. Always keep such liquids away from the
heater at all times.
Important: Never build or allow the fire to rest directly on the
glass panel. The logs should always be spaced at least one inch
from the glass to allow for proper air flow within the firebox.
5.2 Controls on the Jøtul F 400
Combustion air is controlled by the Primary Air Lever, located
above the ashlip on the front of the stove. The lever actuates a
shutter over the air inlet which regulates the volume of primary
air entering the firebox and affects heat output and burn time.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary control lever
should be at the far right position, which allows the maximum
amount of air into the stove. The greater the amount of air
entering the stove, the hotter and faster the fire will burn. Moving
the lever to the left reduces the airflow into the stove which
prolongs the fire at a lower heat output. See figure 11.
Air Flow / Performance
Primary air enters the firebox directly above the glass panel on
the door. The incoming air creates a turbulent barrier or "airwash"
between the glass and the fire. Reducing the flow of primary air
directly reduces the effectiveness of the airwash. Determining
the primary air setting for the best overall performance for your
particular needs and installation will only be established over
time through trial and error.
5.3 Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 400 is constructed of cast iron and stove furnace
cement. This type of construction requires the stove to be
"broken-in" gradually so that heat expansion does not occur
too quickly and cause damage. The following steps describe the
proper break-in procedure for the Jøtul F 400 :
1. Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling. Only allow the
stove to reach a maximum surface temperature of 200°F (93°
C). Burn for approximately 1 hour.
2. Allow the stove to cool to room temperature.
3. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a maximum
temperature of 300°F (149°C) for 1 hour.
4. Cool the stove to room temperature.
