Note! Never use flammable liquids such as petrol, kerosene,
red spirit or similar to start the fire. This may cause harm
to both yourself and the product.
Note! Danger of overheating: The stove must never be
used in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating is defined as overfilling the stove with
firewood and/or leaving the draught vent fully open.
The chimney draught should never exceed 2,5 mmVs
(25 Pa). A sure sign of overheating is when parts of the stove
glows red. When this happens, reduce the draught vent
opening immediately. (Move draught vent to the left).
Warning! Each fire should burn down to embers before
new firewood is added.

Maintenance

Cleaning the glass

Jøtul F 600 is equipped with top draught (air wash). Through
the draught vent air is sucked in above the fireplace and
washed down along the inside of the glass. This system
has the advantage that it provides better combustion and
reduces the buildup of soot deposits on the glass.
Still, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the
quantity will depend on the local draught conditions and
adjustment of the draught vent. Most of the soot layer will
normally be burned off when the draught 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.

Ash removal

Jøtul F 600 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove
the ash. Scrape the ash through the grate in the base plate
and into the ash pan. Use something like a glove to grab
the handle on the ash pan and take away the ash. Make
sure that the ash pan doesn't fill up so high that it keeps
ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
Make sure the door to the ash pan is securely shut when
the stove is in use.
It is always an advantage if some ashes remain in the
burn chamber as a protective layer against the oven base.
Also see the description of how to handle ashes under
"Measures to prevent fires".

Cleaning and soot removal

Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
stove during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the stove's heat output.
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.
Sweeping of flue pipes to the
chimney
Sweeping of the flue pipes is carried out by lifting the
loose oval top plate. This gives easy access for sweeping.
It is possible to sweep through the sweeping hatch in the
flue pipe or through the product door opening. In that case
the baffle plate has to be removed first. See appropriate
sections under: Service.
