5.7 Open Door Fire-viewing

Warning: This stove should be operated with the door
either fully open with the optional Spark Screen in place,
or with the door fully closed.
If the door is left partly open, there is risk of overfiring.
Also, gas and flame may be drawn out of the fireplace
stove opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke.
Be aware that when operating with the door open, there
exists the possibility of generating carbon monoxide
by some fuels (e.g. charcoal), and the hazards of carbon
monoxide. Be sure adequate fresh air and ventilation is
available to the stove.

5.8 Ash Removal

Ash removal will be required every day or two during
normal operation, and is most easily done when the fire
has burned down to coals.
Use a shovel to push or rake any hot coals first to one side.
Shovel out the exposed ash, and push or rake the hot coal
to the other side. Remove the ash from the second side
as well, and then spread the hot coals evenly across the
firebox. Wood may now be added to start a new fire.
When removing ash from a stove that is in operation, close
and latch the door before taking the ashes outside for safe
disposal. It is always a good idea to wear heavy protective
gloves while removing and disposing of the ashes from
your stove.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container used
exclusively for ashes, with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed outdoors, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
lf ashes are disposed of by burisl in soil or otherwise
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Glass Cleaning

From time to time, clean off the accumulated ash from the
inside surfaces of the glass panels. lf this fly ash is allowed
to remain on the surface for extended periods, it could
eventually cause the glass to become permanently etched
and somewhat cloudy. Any creosote which might deposit
on the glass will burn off during the next hot fire.
Never clean the glass while it is hot and never use any
abrasive materials to clean the glass. Cool water and a
soft cloth or paper towel are usually all that is required.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing and dry
completely before burning your stove.

6.2 Glass Replacement

To prevent cracking of the glass operate the doors gently.
Do not shut the door by striking or slamming.
lf the stove's glass is cracked or broken, you must replace it
before operating your stove. Carefully remove any broken
pieces. Replace the panel only with the correct Jøtul
replacement glass, and do not use substitutes.
The glass can be replaced with the door still mounted to
the stove or the door can be removed and placed on a flat
working surface. The steps are the same:
Clean off any residual gasket material from the door using
a wire brush if necessary.
The replacement gasket is self-adeshive. Measure enough
gasket to go from the upper right corner of the glass, down
the right side, across the bottom and back up to the upper
left corner and then add about 2-1/2". Please note that the
top of the glass is not gasketed. A small amount of air is
allowed to enter through the that area to help keep the
glass clean.
• Peel off about 10" of the self-adhesive backing strip.
Leaving about 1-1/4"of gasket "tail" overlapping, apply
the gasket to the groove on the door, making sure that
the adhesive is facing the door.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Peel off the remaining adhesive backing and apply the
remaining gasket, again leaving a "tail" at the upper
left corner.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Center the glass panel left and right on top of the
gasket. Slide the glass toward the bottom of the door
until it hits stops.
• Hold the glass in place with your hand and wrap the
gasket "tails" over the top of the glass and down the
outer edges. You will have to twist the gasket so the
adhesive will face the glass. Press the "tails" firmly on
the glass.
• Replace the air control slide and the upper and lower
retainer manifolds and screws.
