Maintenance - Jøtul I 80 RH Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

ENGLISH
One should then use less firewood and have a larger opening in
the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In this
was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often than
usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul I 80 RH is equipped with top draught (air wash). Through
the air 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. If it is
necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend a
glass cleaner (follow the instructions for use on the bottle).
6.2 Ash removal
• Use a scoop or similar to remove the ash through the door.
• Always leave some ash as a protective layer on the bottom
of the fireplace.
• Ash must be placed in a metal container with a sealed lid.

Safety precautions».
6.3 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. If soot deposits accumulate when using the
product, they can be easily removed by using a soot remover.
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.
6.4 Sweeping of flue pipes to the
chimney
The flue must be swept through the stove's door opening. The
baffle plate must first be removed. See separate section under:
«7.0 Service».
6.5 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
14
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.
6.6 External maintenance
Painted products may, after a few years of use, change colour.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before applying a new coat of paint.
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.).
