8.0 Accessories

Many accessories have been manufactured for use with the Jøtul
F 600. Only use accessories that are specifically designed for the
Jøtul F 600.

8.1 Firescreen

The Jøtul F 600 has been approved for use as an open fireplace,
with front doors open. This feature is especially nice when the
ambience of a fire is desired. Some care should be taken when
operating the stove as a fireplace.
• Always have the firescreen in place, attached to the stove
front.
• Never over load the stove: For the best appearance burn in
the traditional three log configuration.
• Reminder, when burning the stove with the screen in place,
you are sacrificing efficiency for aesthetics, and you will be
consuming wood at a much faster rate.
Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 600 with the front doors fully open
and the firescreen in place or fully closed. Partially opened doors
may result in overfiring. Also, if doors are left partly open, gas
and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening, creating risks
from both fire and smoke.

8.2 Outside Air Kit

In certain installations it may be necessary to provide outside
air to your Jøtul F 600 wood stove. Guidelines to determine the
need for additional combustion air may not be adequate for every
situation. If in doubt, it is advisable to provide additional air.
The outside air kit includes an adapter to mount onto the stove
that will accept the fresh air pipe. Installation will require some
additional materials:
A. The appropriate length of metallic pipe for a conduit of the
outside air (4" diameter).
B. A rain/weather resistant cap for the outside of the house.
C. A rodent screen - that is no larger than 1/4" mesh.
Outside air may be required if:
1. The Jøtul F 600 does not "draw" steadily, smoke rollout occurs,
fuel burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there
is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces
or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll - out when opened, or back-draft whether
or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates
any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and
tight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that
exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on the windows in the
winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is
inadequate, additional combustion air should be provided from
the outdoors. Outside combustion air can be provided to the
appliance by the following means:
Direct connection: The Jøtul F 600 has been tested and listed
for use with an outside air kit. This outside air kit is connected
directly to the stove. Be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the kit.
Indirect method: Outside air is ducted to a point no closer
than (12") 300mm from the appliance, to avoid affecting the
performance of the appliance.
A mechanical ventilation system: If the house has a ventilation
system (air change or heat recovery):
A.The ventilation system may be able to provide sufficient
combustion make-up air for the solid
appliance.
B.The homeowner should be informed that the ventilation
system might need to be rebalanced by a ventilation
technician after installation of the appliance.

8.3 Floor Bracket Kit

Use of the floor bracket kit is required in all mobile home
installations to secure the stove to the floor. Complete installation
instructions and diagrams are supplied with each floor bracket
kit.

8.4 Rear Heatshield

A stove rear heatshield has been specifically designed for the Jøtul
F 600 to reduce clearances off the rear of the stove to combustible
materials. Use of the heatshield does not affect the clearance off
the sides of the appliance.
See pages 11-12 for specific clearance requirements. Complete
installation instructions are supplied with the heatshield. No
other type of heatshield may be used on the rear of the Jøtul
F 600.

8.5 Bottom Heatshield

A bottom heatshield has been specifically designed for
the Jøtul F 600. It is required in all alcove installations.
Use of the bottom heatshield does not affect the floor
protection requirements discribed on page 9 of this manual.
No other type of heatshield may be used on the bottom of the
Jøtul F 600.

8.6 Stove-top Thermometer

Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top thermometer
to monitor the surface temperature of the stove. The optimum
surface temperature range for the most efficient, clean burn is
between 400° and 600°.

8.7 Side Door Lock Kit

Use of the Side Door is prohibited in any Corner installation
or Alcove installation in which the door is closer than 36" to a
combustible wall. Kit 155850 is available specifically for the Jøtul
F 600 for use in these cases. With installation, it locks the door
latch in a closed position.
