3.0 Safety
NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
recommends that its stoves are
fi
tted by a quali
fi
ed
installer (see www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).
Any modi
fi
cations to the product may result in the product
and safety features not functioning as intended. The same
applies to the installation of accessories or optional extras not
supplied by Jøtul. This may also be the case if parts that are
essential to the functioning and safety of the
fi
replace have
been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
The Clean Air Act
“The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas”
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the
whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke
control area. It is an o
ff
ence to emit smoke from a chimney of
a building, from a furnace or from any
fi
xed boiler if located in a
designated smoke control area. It is also an o
ff
ence to acquire
an “unauthorised fuel” for use within a smoke control area
unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from
the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list
by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to
sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of
the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are
exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under
section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural A
ff
airs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.

can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-
rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean
Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke
control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air
Act requirements.
The Jøtul F 602 ECO has been recommended as suitable for
use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your
fi
replace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the
fi
replace are given in
fi
g. 1
. The speci
fi
ed distance to
fl
ammable materials, applies to this stove. The stove must
be installed with a CE approved
fl
ue. The distance of the
fl
ue pipe to combustible materials must also be observed.
• Ensure that furniture and other
fl
ammable materials are not
too close to the
fi
replace. Flammable materials should not
be placed within 550 mm of the
fi
replace.
• Allow
the
fi
re to burn out. Never extinguish the
fl
ames with
water.
• The
fi
replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the
fi
replace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
fl
ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential
fi
re hazard.
In case of chimney
fi
re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep
the
fi
rebox door closed.
• Call
the
fi
re service.
• Before
use
after
a
fi
re an expert must check the
fi
replace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
•
3.2 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a
fi
replace.
See
“2.0 Technical Data”
for speci
fi
ed weight.
We recommend the removal of any
fl
ooring that is not attached
to the foundation (“
fl
oating
fl
oors”) beneath the installation.
Requirements for protection of wooden
fl
ooring beneath the
fi
replace
The product can be placed directly on a wooden
fl
oor,
protected by a
fl
oor plate made from non combustible material
(recommended thickness - minimum 0,9 mm)
Jøtul recommends that any
fl
ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the
fl
oor plate.
Requirements for protection of
in
fl
ammable
fl
oors in front of the
fi
replace
The front plate must comply with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
3.3 Walls
• The product should be placed so that it is possible to clean
the stove,
fl
ue pipe and chimney outlet.
• Make sure furniture and other combustible materials do not
get too close to the stove.
• Make shure furniture and other items are not placed too
close to the stove, to prevent them from drying out.
Distance to walls made of combustible material - see
fi
g. 1a
The stove must be installed with a CE approved
fl
ue pipe.
The distance from
fl
ue pipes to combustible materials must
also be taken into account.
Combustible wall protected by
fi
rewall
Distance to combustible wall protected by
fi
rewall: See

g. 1b
. Distances with semi-inslulated chimney/shielded
fl
ue pipe
are shown in
