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.
The Clean Air Act
“The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas”
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare
the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an o
ff
ence to emit smoke from
a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any
fi
xed
boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is
also an o
ff
ence to acquire an “unauthorised fuel” for use
within a smoke control area unless it is used in an “exempt”
appliance (“exempted” from the controls which generally
apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a
list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes
made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993
by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in
Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list
by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory
Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural A
ff
airs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.

Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-
area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the
Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of
smoke control areas and you can contact them for details
of Clean Air Act requirements.
The Jøtul I 520 F, Jøtul I 520 FR, Jøtul I 520 FL and Jøtul
I 520 FRL have been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning wood logs.
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 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 fireplace 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 Jøtul I 520 can be installed in a prefabricated surround,
brick surround and pre-existing open
fi
replace (hearth).
If installing in a prefabricated surround, follow the instruction
manual for the surround.
NB! The product cannot be placed
directly in a corner if the convection air outlet is towards
the ceiling (see
fi
g. 1f).
If building a brick surround, the leg rack (optional, item no.
51044759) must be used. See
Fig. 1 e and f
.
If placing inside a pre-existing, code-compliant masonry
fi
replace, it must also satisfy the requirements for the insert
surround, regarding installation against combustible materials
and air vents. See
Fig. 1 c, d, e, and f.
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the
fl
oor is strong enough for the
fi
replace. See
«2.0 Technical data»
for weights.
Combustible
fl
oor protection
If the
fi
replace is to be mounted on a combustible
fl
oor, cover
the
fl
oor under and in front of the
fi
replace with a plate of metal
or other non- combustible material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm. The minimum distance between the
fl
oor
and the frame can not be less than 428mm (see Fig. 1f).
It is recommended that
fl
ooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called
fl
oating
fl
ooring – is removed during
installation.
Jøtul recommends that any
fl
ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the
fl
oor plate.
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
