Chimney

The stove can be connected to a brick, pre-fabricated
element or Jøtul steel chimney. See separate section.
Minimum chimney cross section must be 177 cm
(Corresponding to 150 mm dia.). Connection to chimney must
be done in accordance with the installation instructions
from the supplier of the chimney.

Air circulation

Using a fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air to
the room where the product is installed. If the house is
sealed, the room ought to be equipped with extra fresh air
supply through vents. Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a
room with a fireplace. This may cause negative pressure and
draw poisonous gasses into the room. In order to avoid this,
it is possible to bring in outside air directly to the stove by
using an adapter (extra unit) that is mounted to the air
inlet of the stove. From there a flexible hose is conducted
out of the house. The installation instruction for this is
enclosed with the installation unit.

Assembly prior to installation

The product is delivered in one package. A loose handle is
also included to use with ash door.
The oval top plate is fastened with screws during transport.
Remove the screws from underneath the top plate and
leave it unattached. This makes it easier for the chimney
sweep when the product and the flue pipe have to be
cleaned.
The ash lip, which is nailed to the top, is placed loosely at
the front of the base plate.
Control of functions (fig. 3)
When the product is set up, always check the control
functions. These shall move easily and function
satisfactorily.
Draught vent (A)
Left position = closed. Right position = fully open.
Doorhandle (B) Towards the left = open, towards
the right=closed
Doorhandle (C) towards the right=open, towards the
left=closed
Ash door (E). Use the loose handle, open the door by turning
the knob counter-clockwise one half rotation. Use a glove
or similar and pull out the tray.
Note! Only remove the ashes when the stove is cold.

Mounting of flue pipe

It is advisable to carry out a test assembly prior to making
a hole in the chimney. See fig. 2 for measures to wall made
of flammable materials. The stove is installed with a 150
mm diameter flue pipe. This must be an approved thickness.
The flue outlet for Jøtul F 500 is inside the burn chamber
28
during transportation. You can choose between a top or
rear outlet from the flue pipe. The screws for fastening
are in the bag containing screws.
• Flue pipes 150 mm dia. are placed directly onto the
2
.
product flue outlet. There is a screw on both sides of
the product flue outlet (fig. 4-A). These are used to
fasten the flue pipe.
• Mark where the screws hit the flue pipe when it is at
the very bottom of the flue outlet and drill a 5,5 mm
hole for the screw in the flue pipe.
• Use gasket and cement to seal between flue pipe and
product flue outlet. Place the gasket around the lower
part of the flue pipe and fill up the space with cement.
• Fasten the flue pipe with screws.
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed.
Air leakage etc. may lead to malfunction.

Connection to chimney

Drill a hole for the flue pipe. Distance from stove to firewall/
chimney should be as shown in fig. 2. Always use a chimney
collar when connecting to chimney. Use the supplier's
recommended chimney collar when connecting to an
element chimney. Follow the supplier's assembly and usage
instructions closely with regard to mortar/furnace cement
before starting to use the fireplace.
Ensure that the flue pipe never slopes down towards the
chimney. It should at least be horizontal, preferably have
an incline of a few millimeters.
Note! A correct and sealed connection is very important
for the proper functioning of the product.
Be alert to the fact that it is particularly important that
connections have a certain flexibility. This is to prevent
setting of the house from leading to fissuration.
