the door. Lift the baffle plate forward and to the side and
edge it out. Leave it in the bottom of the fireplace until the
cleaning is done.

Control of the stove

Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface
areas for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and
that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets
showing signs of wear of deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.

External maintenance

Painted products may, after some years of use, change
colour. The surface should be brushed of loose particles
before new paint is applied.

Woodlength, quantity and quality

Max. length of the wood logs are 46 cm. The wood logs
should be laid parallel to the back wall of the stove. Jøtul F
8 TD has with its efficiency a nominal capacity of 8,0 kW.
According to calculations the nominal capacity will consume
3,2 kg quality-wood per hour.
Jøtuls definition of Quality-wood
Good quality-wood should be dried so that the water
content is approx. 20-25%. To achieve that, the wood should
be cut late winter, or early in the spring and dried in the
open air during the summer. In Autumn take the wood logs
inside for use during the coming winter.
By quality wood, we mean most well-known types of wood
such as: Beech, Birch and Oak.
The energy mass of 1 kg of wood varies very little. On the
other hand the net weight of the different kinds of wood
varies considerably. I. e. the weight of a certain amount of
birch will give less kWh than the same amount of beech.
The energy mass of 1 kg quality wood is about 3,8 kWh. 1 kg
of absolute dry wood produces about 5 kWh and wood of
60 % humidity gives only about 1,5 kWh.
