Technical Data Of Jøtul F 500; General Safety Precautions; Measures To Prevent Fires - Jotul F 500 Instrucciones Para Instalación

Any damper plates or flue restrictors must be removed and
no restrictor plates should be fitted. Where it is impractical
to remove dampers or restrictors, these must be secured
in the open position.
The chimney or flue must be sound and clean. If it has
been used with a wood, coal or other solid fuel fire, it must
be swept before the stove is installed.
Ensure that only one stove is served by the chimney or
flue system.
Ensure that the chimney or flue is structurally sound. In
particular, it must not be possible for products of
combustion to come into contact with combustible
materials in the structure of the building.
In some situations it may be advisable to fit a flue liner
prior to the installation of the stove. Your installer will
advise if this is necessary.
NOTE: A guide is published by the British Flue and Chimney
Manufacturers' Association that contains general
information on chimneys and flues.
If any of the pre-installation checks reveal inadequacies,
do not proceed with the installation of the stove until all
defects or deficiencies have been rectified.

General safety precautions

Distance to firewall or protected wall
Contact your local authorithy to inform you about the local
codes and to ensure that your installation is safe and legal.
Distance to wall made of flammable
material
By using a heat shield (sold separately) the distance can
be as shown in fig. 2. We recommend that you contact
the local Jøtul dealer prior to installation.
If the stove will be installed on a floor made of a
flammable material, the whole floor underneath the
stove, and at least 500 mm in front of the stove and to
the left of the stove - sideways 300 mm, must be of a non-
flammable material. The size depends on the local codes
and regulations, and we recommend that you contact the
local Jøtul dealer prior to installation. (See measures fig.
2). In addition a heat shield (sold separaely) must be
mounted under the ash pan.
Uninsulated flue pipe: If uninsulated flue pipes go through
floors or walls, the standard require that the opening must
be made of brick or masonry, in such a way that the
external surface of the pipe does not get closer to
flammable materials than 230 mm. Isolated flue pipes
may have a different distance, if necessary refer to fire
technical product documentation for the flue pipe.

Measures to prevent fires

Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger.
Therefore, respect the following instructions:
• Always use a spark catcher if the product is to be
utilised with an open door.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials
do not get too close to the fireplace. There ought to be
a clear distance from the front of the fireplace of at
least 600 mm.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause
burns if touched.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied
where it does not entail a fire hazard. Refer to local
regulations.
• Any stove should have a storage container made of
non-flammable material as a standard accessory for
the safe disposal of soot and ashes. Soot and ashes
must be stored in this container for at least a week in
order to be certain that the last ember has been
extinguished. If the container needs to be emptied
before this, add plenty of water to the container and
stir.
• You may want to keep the ash. It is a first class fertilizer
for roses and other plants.
