4.4 Using a Rear Heat Shield to Reduce
Clearance in Alcove lnstallations
The Jøtul F 602 USA optional rear heat shield, PN HS50,may
be used only in top-exiting parallel installations to reduce
clearance as shown in figures 11,12,13, page 24.
4.5 Using Wall Protectors to Reduce
Clearances
The wall protector must be non-combustible, such as a
minimum 24 gauge galvanized steel or its equivalent.
The wall protector must be elevated 1" from the floor to
provide an air space of at least 1" between the shield and
the combustible wall. See figures 16, 17, and 18 on pages
24 and 24 for approved sizing specifications.

4.6 Alcove installation

When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with wall
protection, the Jøtul F 602 USA can be placed in an alcove
that has a minimum height of 96"
of 48", and a minimum width of 41". The clearances for this
installation are shown in figure 14-15, page 24.
When installed with a listed double wall pipe and with a
stove heat shield, the Jøtul F 602 USA can be placed in an
alcove that has a minimum height of 96"
2
depth of 24" , and a minimum width of 55". The clearances
for this installation are shown in fig. 12-13, page 24.
In an alcove, the height of the wall protector, including the
air space at the bottom, must be at least 41" (104 cm) (see
fig. 15, page 23). Both side walls and the rear wall must be
protected by the wall protector (fig. 14, page 24).

5.0 Operation

Before building a fire in your new stove, please read the
following section carefully.

5.1 Use Solid Wood Fuel Only

The stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when
burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to
softwoods or to green or freshly-cut hardwoods.
Do not burn:
• Coal
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Treated or painted Wood Solvents
• Treated or painted Wood
• Chemical Chimney Cleaners
• Colored Paper
• Any synthetic fuel or logs that have not been approved
for wood stoves.
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper,
chemical chimney cleaners, or trash may result in release
of toxic fumes.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen
up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids far away from
the heater while it is in use.

5.2 Wood Storage

When storing wood outside, it should be covered and
stored off the ground to protect it from the elements. Make
certain that the woodpile has good air circulation through
it in order to promote drying to aid in the seasoning process.
To obtain the best performance from your stove, we
recommend using seasoned hardwood that has been
dried and stored under cover for at least one year. Burning
unseasoned or wet wood causes the rapid development of
creosote and reduces the heat value of the wood.
Creosote and Soot Formation and the Need
for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. The
creosote that accumulates in the flue is highly flammable
and is the fuel of chimney fires. To prevent a chimney
fire, the creosote needs to be removed by sweeping the
chimney and flue connector. The frequency of sweeping
will depend on how you operate your stove, but it is
important to inspect the flue after every two weeks of
use. An accumulation of 1/4" or more on the sides of the
flue or connector is considered hazardous and should be
removed.
