Maintenance guidelines
Operation
The NVI 2000 system chimney is designed to cope with flue gas temperatures of up to 450°C and a fireplace
output of max. 120 kW in the case of continuous operation. Ignoring these values through the use of different
combustion methods, fuels and fuel quantities can lead to serious damage to the fireplace and, in the worst
case scenario, to your home.
The fireplace must not give off flue gases that are hotter than 450°C in normal operation.
Use the fireplace properly
It is important to use the fireplace properly and ensure that its instructions are followed.
There is a great deal to learn about fires – see our website www.jotul.no.
Maintenance and servicing
The painted outer casing of the system chimney can be cleaned with most detergents that are suitable for
painted surfaces. NB: Distinguish between detergents and solvents! Thinning solvents can damage the
powder-painted outer casing.
Grease spots, which can arise on outer casings made of brushed, stainless steel, must be removed using de-
tergents specially designed for stainless steel kitchen appliances. Note that cleaning should take place in the
metal’s griding direction, as otherwise the outer casing’s surface structure can be altered.
In conjunction with the annual maintenance of your roof, you should ensure that the chimney is in good order.
Check that adapters are still sealed, and remove moss and other waste that prevents runoff from taking place as
it should.
Pipe fires
In the event of a pipe fire, you must naturally call the emergency services on 110. In addition, a chimney sweep
must inspect the chimney before you use the fireplace again to check that the chimney is in good condition.
