MAINTENANCE
Ash remomal
:
OF COURSE, FOR YOUR
PROTECTION ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE ASH PAN.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending
on how frequently the stove is used. Conveniently,
the OSLO F500 is equipped with an ash pan assembly
for easy ash removal, without the need for opening
the front doors.
The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of
the stove. To open the ash door insert the pin on the
end of your specially designed ash tool into the hole
on the ash door latch. Rotate the door
counterclockwise to unlatch the door and clockwise
to latch the door.
Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation
always close the ash pan door before leaving to
dispose of the ashes.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container
equipped with a tight sealing lid. The container should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Glass Care:
Cleaning: On occasion it will be necessary to clean
the carbon deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the
carbon and fly ash are allowed to remain on the glass
for an extended period of time it could eventually cause
the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any creosote,
which might deposit on the glass, will burn off during
the next hot fire.
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Glass needs to be COMPLETELY COOL.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed
for this purpose. The use of abrasives will damage
the glass and ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely, before burning
your stove.
Glass Removal:
Always operate the doors slowly
and cautiously to avoid cracking or breaking the glass.
Never use the door to push wood into the firebox. If
the glass becomes cracked or broken follow this
procedure for replacement:
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a
flat surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the
inside of the door.
3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and
gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area
using a wire brush.
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and
the new gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the
gasket rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and
reinstall the glass clips.
See figure 13
IMPORTANT: The side of the glass treated with an
infrared coating (marked on the perimeter) should
always be facing outward. It is extremely impor-
tant to tighten the glass clips slowly and in a
repeating pattern, like tightening the lugs on an
automobile wheel.
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips
after the stove has be burned and the gasketing
has been seated.
IMPORTANT:
REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH A CERAMIC
GLASS PANEL SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR THE JØTUL OSLO F500. DO NOT USE
SUBSTITUTES. REPLACEMENT GLASS
PANELS CAN BE ORDERED THROUGH
YOUR JØTUL DEALER.
