Maintenance; Glass Care; Glass Removal - Jøtul F 500 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

USA/CANADA

Maintenance:

For your protection always wear safety gloves when
handling the ash pan.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F 500 is
equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy ash removal,
without the need for opening the front doors.
The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of the
stove. To open the ash door insert the pin on the end of
your specially designed ash tool into the hole on the ash
door latch. Rotate the door counterclockwise to unlatch
the door and clockwise to latch the door.
Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation always
close the ash door before leaving to dispose of the ashes.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped
with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
W . Do not, at any time, operate this stove with the
ARNING
ash pan door open. This condition will lead to overfiring
and will damage the stove. This damage is not covered
under warranty. Only empty the ash drawer before
refueling, when the fire is low or out. The ash door should
be open only long enough to empty the ash drawer and
then securely closed. Inspect the gasket on the ash pan
door regularly and replace as necessary.

Glass Care

Cleaning:
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon deposits
and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly ash are
allowed to remain on the glass for an extended period of
time it could eventually cause the glass to become etched
and cloudy. Any creosote, which might deposit on the glass,
should burn off during the next hot fire.
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this
purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass
and ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning your
stove.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass
panel.

Glass removal:

Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously to avoid
cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door to push
wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked or
broken follow this procedure for replacement:
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat
surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of
the door.
3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and
gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using
a wire brush.
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the new
gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall
the glass clips. See figure 13, page 15.
Important: The side of the glass treated with an infrared
coating (marked on the perimeter) should always be facing
outward. It is extremely important to tighten the glass
clips slowly and in a repeating pattern, like tightening the
lugs on an automobile wheel.
It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the
stove has burned and the gasketing has been seated.
Important:
Replace glass only with a ceramic glass panel specifically
designed for the Jøtul F 500. Do not use substitutes.
Replacement glass panels can be ordered through your
Jøtul dealer.
