3.0 Safety
NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
stoves must be
fi
tted by a quali
fi
ed installer.
Any modi
fi
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.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved
for use with open door
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. 1A
and
fi
g. 1B
.
• Ensure that furniture and other
fl
ammable materials are
not too close to the
fi
replace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 1,05 metre 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
.
4.0 Installation
The
fi
replace surround must have a minimum opening of HxWxD
= 515x715x490 mm. It is also important to allow space for
insulation around the surround. If using a wide frame (optional
extra), it will overlap openings to HxW = 558x755 mm.
A narrow frame is included with the product. It is possible to
move this frame and a wide frame (optional extra) up to 40
mm to make it easier to adapt the product for di
ff
erent
fl
ue
pipe positions.
4.1 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a
fi
replace.
See
“2.0 Technical Data”
for speci
fi
ed weight.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl
ooring beneath the
fi
replace
The Jøtul C24 has a heat shield underneath to protect the
fl
oor
from radiated heat. The product can therefore be positioned
directly on a wooden
fl
oor that is covered by a sheet of metal
or other non-in
fl
ammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is
0.9 mm
. The plate must cover the entire
fl
oor
surface within the surround.
We recommend the removal of any
fl
ooring that is not attached
to the foundation (“
fl
oating
fl
oors”) beneath the installation.
Any
fl
oor covering of in
fl
ammable material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the
fl
oor plate.
Requirements for protection of in
fl
ammable
fl
oors in front of the
fi
replace
The
fl
oor in front of the
fi
replace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-in
fl
ammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The
fl
oor plate must comply with
national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
