Daily Use; Lighting The Fi Re - Jotul I 620 Série Manuel D'utilisation

Closed combustion system
Use the stove's closed combustion system if you live in recently
built, airtight dwellings. Connect the external combustion air
through a ventilation pipe through the wall or the fl oor.
Air supply
The amount of combustion air for Jøtul's products is approximately
20-40 m 3 /h. The outside air connection may be fi tted directly to
the Jøtul I 620 Series through:
• the bottom
• through a fl exible supply hose from the outside/chimney
(only if the chimney has its own duct for external air) and to
the product's outside air connector.

5.0 Daily use

5.1 Control handles
Ignition vent (A)
This vent is used when lighting the fi re and to get the fi re going
well when adding more wood. If continuously
using hard wood, such as oak and beech, the ignition vent can
be open 20% to 50%. If using soft wood, such as birch and
pine, the ignition vent can be closed.
• Setting for normal use: 20% to 25%.
Through air or air vent (B)
The through air is preheated and added to the fi re indirectly.
The through air also fl ushes the glass to prevent the formation
of soot. Soot may form on the glass if the through air control is
set too low. The heat output is determined by the through air.
• Setting for normal use: 60% to 70%.
Clean Burn Technology
The Jøtul I 620 Series incorporates clean burn technology.
The air passes through a specially-designed duct system. This
ensures optimal combustion of the gases that are released
during the burning process. The pre-heated air passes into the
burn chamber through the small holes in the back burn plate
of the chamber. The airfl ow is determined by the combustion
rate and cannot therefore be regulated.
5.2 Lighting the fi re
Important!
Please note that if too little wood is used when lighting the fi re,
or if the pieces of wood are too large, it will not be possible to
attain the optimum working temperature in the burn chamber.
This can result in poor combustion and may lead to a heavy
build-up of soot, or cause the fi re to die out when the door is
closed.
If the house has a mechanical ventilation system, the pressure
inside the house is negative and the fi replace does not have
an outside air connection, open a window near to the stove
before lighting a fi re. Let the window remain open for a minute
or two until the fi re has begun to burn properly.
• Place two medium-sized logs on each side at the bottom of
the burn chamber. NB: In order to avoid a build-up of soot
on the glass, it is important not to let the logs touch the glass.
• Place fi relighters or bark off the birch wood between the
logs. Stack some fi nely split wood on top in a criss-cross
pattern. Light the fi re.
• Pull out the ignition vent (A) (the air vent (B) automatically
follows.
5.3 Stoking the fi re
To be able to control the heat output, it is important to
have a thick layer of embers and a high temperature in the
burn chamber. Stoke the fi re with more wood when it has
burned down to embers. NB: Use a glove or something
similar to protect your hand in case the handles are hot.
• Open the door slightly and allow the pressure in the burn
chamber to even out for a few seconds before opening the
door fully. This prevents smoke and ash from spilling out.
Never put on more wood while the fi re is burning well.
• Stoke with 2 or 3 logs that together weigh about 2 kg. To
ensure optimal combustion, logs must NOT be higher than
the upper holes in the rear plate.
• Close the door.
• Leave the ignition vent and the air vent open for 2 or 3
minutes until the logs have turned black and are burning
