3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Wooden floor protection
Jøtul F 500 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable 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.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations. See fig.1.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Note! The side load door must not be used in corner
installations.
Distance to wall made of combustible material-
see fig. 1
The fireplace is authorised for use with the distances to the wall
of flammable material as shown in fig. 1.
A heat shield for the back can be ordered and mounted depending
on the position of the fireplace and the desired distance to
combustible materials. See fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of brick,
concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and structures
with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
ceiling above the fireplace.
