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 by the distributor, installer or
consumer 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.
NB: Parts of the stove, in particular, the external surfaces, get
hot during combustion! Exercise caution!
Caution! Do not store wood underneath the product with
legs.
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 offence 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 offence 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).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless
fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in
England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers
in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate
legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981,
applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that
fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have
been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to
burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels)
have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the
Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

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".

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 900 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.
Steel chimney
If a top-mounted steel chimney is used, fi t an uninsulated
pipe from the burn chamber to approx. 10 mm over the top
grate. Make sure that the gasket is properly seated between
the fl ue pipe and the smoke outlet. Then fi t the steel chimney
in accordance with the chimney supplier's installation
instructions.
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.
Jøtul F 105 SL (with short legs)
Jøtul F 105 SL can only be installed on a constructional
hearth which must have an extension of minimum 500
mm in front of the stove. This applies also if the product
rests on a fl oor plate. For further information please see
Approved Document J2010 Section 2.22.
