Safety - Jøtul F 305 R B Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
recommends that its stoves are fi tted by a qualifi ed
installer (see www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).
Any modifi cations to the product may result in the product
and safety features not functioning as intended. The same
applies to the installation of accessories or optional extras not
supplied by Jøtul. This may also be the case if parts that are
essential to the functioning and safety of the fi replace have
been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
The Clean Air Act
"The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas"
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the
whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke
control area. It is an off ence to emit smoke from a chimney of
a building, from a furnace or from any fi xed boiler if located in a
designated smoke control area. It is also an off ence to acquire
an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area
unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from
the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list
by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to
sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of
the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are
exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under
section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural Aff airs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.

can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-
rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean
Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke
control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air
Act requirements.
"The Jøtul F 305 Base, Jøtul F305 long Legs and Jøtul
F305 Short Legs have been recommended as suitable for
use in smoke control areas when burning Wood Logs."
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1. The specifi ed distance to
fl ammable materials, applies to this stove. The stove must
be installed with a CE approved fl ue. The distance of the
fl ue pipe to combustible materials must also be observed.
• Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are not
too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should not
be placed within 1100 mm of the fi replace.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
fl ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the fi rebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fi re service.
• Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
3.2 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fi replace.
See "2.0 Technical Data" for specifi ed weight.
We recommend the removal of any fl ooring that is not attached
to the foundation ("fl oating fl oors") beneath the installation.
Short legs
NB: The short legged versions (Jøtul F 305 R SL, F 305 SL
and F 305 C SL) can only be installed on a constructional
hearth which must have an extension of minimum 500 mm
in front of the stove. For further information please see
Approved Document J2010 Section 2.22.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl ooring beneath the fi replace
The product with base has integrated fl oor protection and
may therefore be placed directly on a wooden fl oor.
Jøtul F 305 with legs must have a fl oorplate below and in
front according to national laws and regulations.
Important! The space under the burnchamber of Jøtul F 305
with legs cannot be used for storage. Jøtul recommends
that any fl ooring made of combustible material, such as
linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed from under the
fl oor plate.
Requirements for protection of
infl ammable fl oors in front of the fi replace
The front plate must comply with national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
3.3 Walls
Distance to walls made of combustible material and to
combustible wall protected by fi rewall:

The fi replace may be used with an uninsulated fl ue pipe

of combustible materials. Alternative distances with shielded
or insulated fl ue pipe are also displayed in the same fi gures
mentioned above.
Note! Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials
are not too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials
should not be placed within 1100 mm of the fi replace.
