Outside air may be required if:
1. The OSLO F500 does not draw steadily,
smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns poorly, or back-
drafts occur whether or not there is combustion
present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house,
such as fireplaces or other heating appliances,
smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-
out when opened, or back -draft whether or not
there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (wind
less) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or
has any powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on the
windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration
air is inadequate, additional combustion air should be
provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion air
can be provided to the appliance by the following
means:
1. Direct connection: the OSLO F500 has been
tested and listed for use use with a outside air kit
This outside air kit is connected directly to the
stove, be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the kit.
2. Indirect method: outside air is ducted to a
point no closer than (12) 300mm from the
appliance, to avoid affecting the performance of
the appliance.
Floor Bracket Kit
(part #750304)
Use of the Floor Bracket Kit is required in all mobile
home installations to secure the stove to the floor.
Complete installation instructions and diagrams are
supplied with each Floor Bracket Kit.
Rear Heatshield
(part #154332)
A stove rear heatshield has been specifically designed
for the OSLO F500 to reduce clearances off the rear
of the stove to combustible materials. Use of the
heatshield DOES NOT affect the clearance off the
sides of the appliance. See pages 11-12 for specific
clearance requirements. Complete installation
instructions are supplied with the heatshield.
NO OTHER TYPE OF HEATSHIELD MAY BE
USED ON THE REAR OF THE OSLO F500.
Bottom Heatshield
(part #154330)
A bottom heatshield has been specifically designed
for the OSLO F500. It is required in all alcove
installations. Use of the bottom heat shield DOES
NOT affect the floor protection requirements discribed
on page 9 of this manual.
NO OTHER TYPE OF HEATSHIELD MAY BE
USED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OSLO F500.

Stove-Top Thermometer
(part # 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, clean burn is between
400
°
and 600
°.
The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter to mount
onto the stove that will except the fresh air pipe.
Installation will require some additional materials:
a. the appropriate length of metallic pipe for a
conduit of the outside air (3 diameter).
b. a rain/weather resistant cap for the outside of
the house.
c. a rodent screen- that is no larger than 1/4
mesh
3. A mechanical ventilation system: if the house
has a ventilation system (air change or heat
recovery):
a. the ventilation system may be able to
provide sufficient combustion make-up air for
the solid -fuel fired appliance.
b.the homeowner should be informed that the
ventilation system might need to be rebalanced
by a ventilation technician after installation of
the appliance.
