Cleaning The Glass; Ash Removal; Cleaning And Soot Removal - Jøtul F 371 ADVANCE Manuel D'installation Et Données Techniques

In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace and
the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
8.5 From winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, or under difficult wind conditions, disturbances in
the chimney draught may occur so that the smoke gasses are
not drawn out.
One should then use smaller logs and have a larger opening in
the air vents so that the wood burns better and faster. This gives
a higher flue gas temperature and the draft in the chimney is
maintained.
To prevent too much ash from accumulating remove it more often
than usual. See «9.2 Ash removal».
9.0 Maintenance

9.1 Cleaning the glass

The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked
in through the air vent on the top of the product and down along
the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of the
air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off when
the air vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in
the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over
the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it
is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).

9.2 Ash removal

If the fireplace has an ash pan
1. Shake or scrape the ash down into the ash pan.
2. Carefully lift the ash pan out and empty it into a non-
combustible container.
3. Make sure the ash house is completely empty before replacing
the ash pan.
If the fireplace does not have an ash pan
1. Use a scoop or similar to remove the ash through the door.
2. Always leave some ash as a protective layer on the bottom
of the fireplace.
Important! Only remove ash when the

9.3 Cleaning and soot removal

Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can be easily removed by using a
soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fireplace you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating effect from the product. It is a good idea
to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and
flue pipes.
9.4 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney
On certain free-standing fireplaces the top plate can be lifted off
and the pipe swept through the top.
Otherwise, flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe
sweeping hatch or through the product's door opening. Normally,
the baffle must be removed. (See separate section «4.0 Service»
in the product's installation manual.)
