Safety Notices
• BURN SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO
START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN Garbage OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
• IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY
INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR
LOSS OF LIFE.
• CONTACT THE LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE
OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND IN-
STALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
YOUR AREA. WHEN NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS
MANUAL, OR BY LOCAL CODE AUTHORITIES,
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIRE-
MENTS DEFER TO NFPA 211 OR CSA B 365.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS FIREPLACE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• DO NOT USE GRATES OR ANDIRONS TO
ELEVATE THE FIRE. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON
THE FIRECHAMBER FLOOR.
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION!
KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE
AWAY. CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
• NEVER OPERATE THE FIREPLACE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
• Install smoke detectors in the living areas
and bedrooms of your home. Test them
regularly and install new batteries twice
annually. When installed in the same room
as the stove, a smoke detector should be
located as far from the stove as possible to
prevent it from sounding when adding fuel
to the fire.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in
the room where the stove is operating. Be
aware that operation of an exhaust fan or
clothes dryer can create a low pressure area
and consequently promote flow reversal
through the stove and chimney system. The
chimney and building, however, always work
together as a system - provision of outside
air, directly or indirectly to an atmospheri-
cally vented appliance will not guarantee
proper chimney performance. Consult your
local Jøtul authorized dealer regarding spe-
cific installation/performance issues.
