adhesives, and paints are a few examples of
combustible gases. Remember, the operating
woodstove is a source of "open flame".
• Avoid creating a "low pressure" condition in the room
where the stove is operating, such as by operating an
exhaust fan or a clothes dryer. A low-pressure
condition could cause poisonous gases to be drawn
out of the stove into the room. Some fuel will during
combustion separate carbon monoxide and generate
it in the burnchamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic, so
please follow the guidelines in this manual to avoid
smoke "roll out" from the burnchamber. You can
prevent a low-pressure condition by providing
adequate outside combustion air within 24" of the
stove.
• Never operate the Jøtul F 602 USA if it has cracked or
broken glass. Replace damaged glass only with the
proper glass panel available from your Jøtul dealer.
• Never burn trash of any kind in the stove.
• Keep combustible materials far away from the stove.
• Never modify the stove in any way.
• Do not dry clothes over the stove, since they could fall
and ignite.
• Use only seasoned wood in your stove. Never use
fireplace coal or synthetic logs that have not been
approved for the stove.
• Always wear protective gloves when adding fuel to
the fire.
• If you for some reason experience smoke "roll out"
from the fireplace, it might activate smoke detectors
(if installed).
• Do not connect this heater to any air distribution duct.
Note! This stove is not approved for use in mobile homes.
Installation
Safety Notice
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the
installation directions. Contact local building or fire officials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements
in your area.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use
your new stove. Failure to follow instructions may result
in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
We recommend that you have your Jøtul F 602 USA
installed by a professional installer of solid fuel room
heaters.
Top Exit or Rear Exit
The Jøtul F 602 USA has two flue outlet positions. If you
wish to top-exit the stove, place the cover plate in the
rear position and secure it with the screws and nuts, then
secure the flue collar to the top with the two remaining
screws.
To rear -exit the stove, secure the cover plate in the top
position with the two screws, then secure the flue collar
to the rear with the two remaining screws and two nuts.
When fastening the plate or flue collar to the rear, it may
be necessary to reach in through the top opening and
hold the nuts with a wrench.
Attaching the Legs
The Jøtul F 602 USA has four tapped leg bolt holes in the
bottom plate. Fasten each leg to the bottom with a bolt
and with a washer between the bolt head and the leg.
Plan Ahead
A safe stove installation involves several elements,
including: (A) the chimney connector, (B) the chimney itself,
(C) the connection between the chimney connector and
chimney, and (D) protection of combustible materials in
the vicinity of the stove. Each of these elements is equally
important for a safe stove installation.
A. Chimney Connector (Stove Pipe)
Chimney connector is also sometimes called stove pipe
or flue pipe, and it is used to connect the stove to the
chimney. The chimney connector should be 6" diameter
black steel, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge.
Do not use aluminium or galvanized steel pipe as a chimney
connector. These materials cannot withstand the extreme
temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic fumes
when heated.
Matching enamel pipe is available for your Jøtul F 602
USA. Contact your Authorised Jøtul dealer for more
information.
Do not use chimney connector pipe as a chimney.
The factory-supplied adapter must be used for fitting the
stove's flue collar to the chimney connector.
Chimney connector sections must be attached to the
USA
