Check Building Codes
Your city, town, county or province may require a building
permit to install a solid fuel burning appliance.
In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association’s
Code, NFPA 211, Standards for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents
and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, or similar regulations,
may apply to the installation of a solid fuel burning
appliance in your area.
Always consult your local building inspector or authority
having jurisdiction to determine what regulations apply
in your area.
See Sect. 5.0 of this manual for important information
regarding the safe, proper, and most efficient operation
of your stove.
Always follow the guidelines presented in this manual
when installing, operating, and maintaining this
appliance and make this manual available to anyone
using or servicing the stove.
Safety Notices
• BURN SOLID, NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. DO NOT BURN ANY
OTHER FUEL.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE. DO NOT
BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FUELS.
• DO NOT USE A GRATE OR ELEVATE THE FIRE. BUILD THE FIRE
DIRECTLY ON THE HEARTH.
• IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE
FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY
INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC-
TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
YOUR AREA.
• ANY EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM MUST BE INSPECTED BEFORE
INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN
BURNS. USE A CHILD GUARD SCREEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
CONTACT BY SMALL CHILDREN.
• INSTALL CO SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE LIVING AREA AND
BEDROOMS OF YOUR HOME. TEST THEM REGULARLY AND
INSTALL FRESH BATTERIES TWICE ANNUALLY.
WHEN INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE, A SMOKE
OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SHOULD BE LOCATED AS
FAR FROM THE STOVE AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THE ALARM
SOUNDING WHEN ADDING FUEL.
• 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 conse-
quently promote flow reversal through the stove and chimney
system. In some cases, the optional Outside Air Kit #154335
can be used to alleviate this condition. The chimney and build-
ing, 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 authorized dealer regarding specific
installation/performance issues.
• Jøtul strongly recommends that this stove be installed by
a professional solid fuel technician, or that you consult one
if you do the work yourself. Also, consult your insurance
company regarding any other specific requirements.

1 Heat Output Range results are determined during specific
emissions tests established by the EPA.
The
Maximum Heat Output value is representative of a more
frequent re-fueling cycle than specified in the EPA High Heat
Output test method.
2 Heating Capacity and Maximum Burn Time will vary
depending on design of home, climate, wood type and
operation.
3 EPA Validated Efficiency:
High Heat Value and Low Heat Value efficiencies are
determined per the CSA B415.1-10 test method. The
difference between the HHV and LHV is how the energy in
the exhaust gas water vapor is accounted for.
LHV efficiency assumes all the water vapor in combustion
gases was condensed and the heat from such was recovered
and transferred to the dwelling. HHV calculations do not
assume all water vapor is condensed, therefore the HHV
value is less than the LHV value.
4 Carbon Monoxide Emissions rate results from Test Method
CSA B415.1-10.
5 Particulate Emissions rate is obtained using EPA Test Method
28-R.
