7.0 General Maintenance
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life
of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.
Enamel Care:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp cloth
and polish with a clean dry cloth.
• DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These
can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit juices will also
cause stains.
• Avoid contact with metal objects. Trivets, kettles, or pots,
can damage the enamel.
Annual Inspection:
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum
for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for
ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all
cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace
cement.
Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To
check the seal of the front door, close and latch the door
on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free.
You should feel resistance as you pull. If it can be easily
removed, the seal is too loose. Check several spots around
the door.
Gasket Replacement
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket
from the door.
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.
4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement to seat
it in the channel. Close and latch the door and then
reopen. Wipe away any excess cement that may have
squeezed out from around the gasket.

Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)
Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of the
stove.
The optimum surface temperature range for the most
efficient performance is 400

Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)
This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed on stoves
using double wall chimney connector to provide additional
protection to combustible materials from heat radiating
from the flue collar of the stove. The insulating properties
of double wall pipe result in higher flue temperatures in
this area than are generated in single wall connectors.
