• DO NOT CONNECT THIS FIREPLACE TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM .
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
• NEVER OPERATE THE FIREPLACE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
• Install smoke detectors in the living areas
and bedrooms of your home. Test them
regularly and install new batteries twice
annually. When installed in the same room
as the stove, a smoke detector should be
located as far from the stove as possible to
prevent it from sounding when adding fuel
to the fire.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the
room where the stove is operating. Be aware
that operation of an exhaust fan or clothes
dryer can create a low pressure area and
consequently promote flow reversal through
the stove and chimney system. The chimney
and building, however, always work together
as a system - provision of outside air, directly
or indirectly to an atmospherically vented
appliance will not guarantee proper chimney
performance. Consult your local Jøtul autho-
rized dealer regarding specific installation/
performance issues.
