General Safety Precautions; Installation - Jøtul MF 3 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

3.0 Safety precautions
3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other combustible materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never extinguish it with water.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not present a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation of
outdoor air in the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
An inadequate air supply could cause flue gas to escape into the
room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked!
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room.
However if ventilation to the outdoors is connected to the
fireplace, the use of mechanical fan vents will not affect the use
of the fireplace.

4.0 Installation

N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
4.1 Assembly prior to installation
1. After unpacking the stove - take out the items which are
packed inside. These items are an ash lip and a plastic bag of
screws for component assembly.
2. Lift up the top plate. In this way it is easier to move the stove
and to make the installation of the flue pipe more secure.
3. Install the ash lip by hooking it onto the front, just below the
door. Fig. 2C.
4. Screw the door handle knob to the front door handle. Fig. 2D.
Mounting the flue outlet
From the factory the stove is delivered for the outlet to be in
the back.
• Fasten the flue outlet (fig. 3) from within with three screws
(fig. 4A).
• When installing a top flue outlet, loosen the traverse (fig. 5A)
and remove the top cover plate.
•
Fasten the cover on the back side and replace the top plate.
4.2 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights.
Wooden floor protection
If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, a heat
shield is to be mounted on the back of the stove to protect the
floor from the radiant heat (Optional equipment). See point «8.0
Optional equipment».
Additional the floor has to be covered under and in front of the
fireplace with a plate made of metal or other non-combustible
material. The recommended minimum thickness is 0.9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
