1.0 Installation
NOTE:
Your local officials have final authority in
determining if a proposed installation is acceptable. Any
requirement that is not specifically addressed in this
manual defaults to NFPA 211, and local codes in the U.S. or
in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local codes.
Installing the Venting
The Jøtul F

can be vented from the top, the rear or from
either the right or left side. Follow the instructions below
for the desired venting location.
Top-exit Venting
When top exit venting is desired, use a 3mm allen wrench
to remove the two set screws that secure the top casting
to the sides of the stove and lift off the top casting. Lay
the top casting upside-down on a flat surface. Remove
the 10mm bolt from the cross bar and remove the smoke
outlet cover. See
figure 1
.
NOTE: Ivory and Majolica stoves are built for rear-exit
flue connection - the rear outlet is left open. THE SMOKE
OUTLET COVER PLATE MUST BE REINSTALLED OVER THE
REAR OPENING BEFORE REPLACING THE TOP PLATE.
Secure the top plate to the stove body by
tightening the set screws previously loosened.
Rear-exit Venting
When rear exit venting is desired it will be necessary to
“knock-out” the vent hole from the rear casting on Matte
Black and Blue Black stoves. Ivory and Brown Majolica enamel
stoves are built with the rear outlet open. Remove the top
casting of the stove by removing the two 3mm set screws
that secure the top to the sides. The set screws are located
on the outside of the stove on the top of each side panel.
Use a 10mm wrench to remove the double rear heatshields
from the back of the stove. Remove the front door to avoid
damage to the glass.
NOTE:
Loss of the hinge washer will
result in improper door alignment when reinstalling the
door.

Safety Notices
• BURN SOLID, NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. DO NOT
BURN ANY OTHER FUEL.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMABLE FUELS.
• DO NOT USE A GRATE OR ELEVATE THE FIRE. BUILD
THE FIRE DIRECTLY ON THE HEARTH.
• IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED,
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RE-
SULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR LOSS
OF LIFE.
• CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION RE-
QUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
• ANY EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM MUST BE INSPECTED
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBU-
TION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHIL-
DREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT
WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS. USE A CHILD GUARD
SCREEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY SMALL
CHILDREN.
• INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE LIVING AREA AND
BEDROOMS OF YOUR HOME. TEST THEM REGULARLY
AND INSTALL FRESH BATTERIES TWICE ANNUALLY.
WHEN INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE STOVE,
A SMOKE OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SHOULD
BE LOCATED AS FAR FROM THE STOVE AS POSSIBLE
TO PREVENT THE ALARM SOUNDING WHEN ADDING
FUEL.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room
where the stove is operating. Be aware that opera-
tion of an exhaust fan or clothes dryer can create a
low pressure area and consequently promote flow
reversal through the stove and chimney system. In
some cases, the optional Outside Air Kit #154335 can
be used to alleviate this condition. The chimney and
building, however, always work together as a system
- provision of outside air, directly or indirectly to an
atmospherically vented appliance will not guarantee
proper chimney performance. Consult your local Jøtul
authorized dealer regarding specific installation/per-
formance issues.
• Jøtul strongly recommends that this stove be in-
stalled by a professional solid fuel technician, or that
you consult one if you do the work yourself. Also,
consult your insurance company regarding any other
specific requirements.
