Control of the stove

Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface
areas for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and
that the gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets
showing signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.

External maintenance

Painted products may change color after several years
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free
of any loose particles before new Jøtul stove paint is
applied.
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a clean,
dry cloth. Do not use water and soap. Any stains can be
removed with a cleaning fluid (Oven cleaner etc.).
The length, quantity and quality of
logs
The maximum length of logs to be used is 55 cm. Logs
should be placed parallel to the back wall of the combustion
chamber. Minimum heat emission from Jøtul F 600 is ca
3.5 kWh, and the nominal capacity 10 kWh. The calculated
requirement for nominal heat emission is approx. 4,0
quality wood per hour.
Jøtul's definition of quality wood
Good quality wood should be dried so that the water
content is approx. 20%.
To achieve this, the wood should be cut during late winter
or early spring. It should then be cut and stacked to ensure
proper airing. The stacks should be covered to prevent
them from absorbing too much rainwater. The logs should
be taken indoors in autumn for use during the winter
season.
With good quality firewood we mean logs from trees, such
as birch, beech and oak.
The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood varies
very little. On the other hand, the specific weight of the
different kinds of wood varies considerably. As an example,
a certain volume of birch will provide less kWh than the
same volume of oak, which has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy in 1 kg quality wood is approx. 3,8
kWh. 1 kg of completely dry wood (0 % humidity) produces
approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level of
60% produces only around 1.5 kWh/kg.
