3.0 Safety precautions
3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger.
Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not entail a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning!
Please ensure that there is adequate air supply from
the outdoors to the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked.
An inadequate air supply could cause smoke gas to escape into
the room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include
smoky smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room.
4.0 Installation
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See
«2.0
Technical data»
for weights. It is recommended that flooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called floating
flooring – is removed during installation.
Wooden floor protection
Requirements for the floor plate:
The floor plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations. (See
Building regulations
)
We recommend that you contact the local Jøtul dealer prior to
the installation.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding
restrictions and installation requirements.
4.2 Wall
Distance to walls made of combustible
material covered by insulation - see fig. 1
Requirements for insulation
50 mm rock wool 120 kg/m
3
foliated on one side with
aluminium.
Distance from the product to the insulation on the back panel:
0 mm.
Requirements for the stove surround
The stove surround must be made in an
incombustible material
and be carried out in accordance with the requirements indicated
under section:
«3.0 Safety precautions».
Note that the entire back panel within the surround must be
covered by insulation.
If the stove cowling is bricked up to the ceiling and the ceiling is
made of combustible material, on top of the warming chamber
and the cowling vents an extra ceiling panel must be installed
to avoid heating the ceiling.
For example use:
Rock wool 100 mm thick on top of a steel plate min. 0,9 mm.
Ensure airing out the top of the stove cowling – for example an
opening towards the ceiling, or approx.
5
cm
2
opening
(fig. 2)
.
Note: Remember that it should be possible to sweep and to
inspect the installation.
4.3 Air circulation (fig. 2)
Air should be allowed to flow between the insert and the
brickwork, and it is very important that there is a free air supply
to the draft catcher on top of the insert. See
fig. 2.
The required air vent sizes for Jøtul I
80
RH (for air circulation) are:
Base: Minimum of 500 cm
2
free ventilation.
Top: Minimum of 750 cm
2
free ventilation.
This is a safety measure to prevent a build up of heat in the
surround, and also to ensure sufficient heat emission into the
room.
If the house is badly ventilated, the room must be equipped with
extra fresh air circulation, for example by means of separate air
channels or a separate channel directly to the top of the fireplace.
The fresh air channel should be as straight as possible. It should
be possible to close the channel with a damper in order to keep
out cold air when the fireplace is not being used.
4.4 Ceiling
Jøtul I
80
RH have been approved for:
A
min. 800 mm
distance from warm air opening in the hood’s
top to a ceiling of c0mbustible material.
