Maintenance

Ash Removal

Ash removal will be required periodically, depending on
how frequently the stove is used. Avoid letting the ash
accumulate to spill over the Ash Fettle. For your protection,
always wear safety gloves when handling the ashes. Use
an ash shovel to remove the accumulation from the
bottom of the firebox. The Fettle may be lifted from the
front of the firebox to aid in ash removal.
Ashes should only be placed in a metal container equipped
with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be kept in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Glass Care

Cleaning
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon
deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly
ash are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended
period of time it could eventually cause the glass to
become etched and cloudy. Any creosote that might
develop on the glass will burn off during the next hot fire.
Follow this cleaning procedure:
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this
purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass
and ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the
stove.
Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully to
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door
to push wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked
or broken follow the replacement procedure below.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass
panel.
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel
specifically designed for the Jøtul F100. Do not use
substitutes. Replacement glass is available from your local
Jøtul dealer.

Glass Removal or Replacement
The glass may be removed with the door in place.
1. Hold the glass in place while you remove the glass clips
from the inside of the door. Lift the glass panel off of
the two bottom tabs in the door.
2. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall
the glass clips. See figure 14.
3. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after
the stove has be burned and the gasketing has been
seated.
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the glass
clips gradually and alternately. Uneven or too great
pressure can damage the glass.
