6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the
quantity will depend on the local draught conditions and
adjustment of the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally
be burned o
ff
when the air vent is opened all the way and a
fi
re
is burning briskly in the
fi
replace.
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.
Dry well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly
we recommend using a glass cleaner
(follow the instructions
on the bottle).
6.2 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi
replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the
fi
replace’s heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can be easily removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi
replace you should regularly allow the
fi
re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary
to get the best heating e
ff
ect from the product. It is a good idea
to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and
fl
ue pipes.
6.3 Sweeping of
fl
ue pipes to the
chimney
On certain free-standing
fi
replaces the top plate can be lifted
o
ff
and the pipe swept through the top.
Otherwise,
fl
ue pipes must be swept through the
fl
ue pipe
sweeping hatch or through the product’s door opening. Then,
the ba
ffl
e must be removed.
6.4 Inspection of the
fi
replace
Jøtul recommends that you personally inspect your
fi
replace
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces
for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that 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.
6.5 Exterior maintenance
Painted products
may change colour after several years
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of
any loose particles before new paint is applied.
Important! Never place anything on the top plate of the
stove. This could cause permanent damage to the paint
or enamel.
