5.0 Daily use
Odours when using the fi replace for the fi rst time
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fi re burn with a high draught until
all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or odours
can be detected.
5.1 Operation
Heating advice
NB:
Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on
“Wood quality”
.
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood such as
birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no
more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel in
your fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar liquids to
light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to yourself and damage to
the product.
Wood consumption
Use of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx.
1,6 kg/h
.
Another important factor for proper fuel consumption is that
the logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 23-33 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per
fi
re: 6 - 8 pieces
Daily use
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 23 - 33 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes
Size of the
fi
re: 1,2 kg
Amount per load: 2 pieces
Nominal heat output and effi ciency are based on heating with
total 1,15 kg beech (2 logs). The air vent was pulled out 24 mm.
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 60 %.
Maximum use
Max. load: 2,9 kg/h (max. 3 pieces per load /2,2 kg per load)
5.2 Ash removal
Jøtul F 162 / F 163 have an ash pan which makes it easy to
remove the ash.
Fig. 8
1. Scrape the ash through the grate
(fi g. 8 A)
in the base plate
and into the ash pan. Use a glove to grab the handle on
the ash pan.
2. Make sure that the ash pan doesn’t fi ll up so high that it
keeps ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
