First Time Use; Daily Use - Jøtul MF 3 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Firewood (split logs):
Length: 30 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approx. 45 - 50 minutes
Size of the fire: 1,7 kg
Amount per load: 2 pieces

5.4 First time use

• Light the fire as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fire for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
N.B. Odours when using the fireplace for the first time
Painted products:the fireplace may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not toxic,
but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn
with a high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared
and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fireplace the first few times it is used. This must be wiped
off to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats
up.

5.5 Daily use

The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fireplace,
meaning that each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.
• Open both air vents (fig. 2A and 2B). Use a glove, for example,
as the handle can become hot.
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and
add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper. Gradually increase the size of the wood.
(see point 5.3)
• Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fire. Close
the door and ash door vent when the firewood has ignited
and the fire is burning well.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (Fig. 2B).
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 40% and the ash door vent (Fig. 2B) closed.
Adding firewood
1. Each fire should burn down to embers before new firewood
is reloaded. Open the door slightly and allow the negative
pressure to level out prior to opening the door completely.
2. Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fire.
3. The air vent (fig. 2B) can be turned down once the wood has
properly ignited and is burning well.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace must never be used in
a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air so
that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. When this happens, reduce
the ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek
professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5 Chimney
and flue pipe» for information.
5.6 Jøtul's definition of briquetted coal
By briquetted coal we mean coal that meets specification in
EN 13240 Table B.2 (Briquetted fuel for closed appliances.) For
example Phurnacite.
5.7 First time use
Light the fire as described under «5.4 First time use ».
•
Intervals for adding briquetted coal: Approximately every 135
minutes
Amount per load: 1,45 kg
5.8 Daily use
To burn coal successfully there must be air passing through the
grate.
Open the vent in the ash door fully (fig. 2A).
•
Open the air vent (fig. 2B).
•
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) and add some
kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern (see point 5.3). Add coal
on the top, and light the newspaper.
• Leave the door slightly open until the kindling wood catch
fire.
• As the fire establishes itself, the air vent can be closed up
gradually (fig.2B).
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the ash door air vent (Fig. 2A). (Use a
tool , for example a glove, as the handle can become hot.)
Refuelling
When more fuel is needed, remember to rake the existing embers
to ensure ash is deposited into the ash pan. Then add more fuel,
being careful not to fill above the level of the log retainer.
As fresh fuel is added, it is advised that the ash door vent is
opened to allow the fire to achieve the required temperature.
Once this is achieved regulate the air vents as before.
Ash removal
Do not let the ash build up to the grate as this may cause the
great to over heat and distort.
5.9 Thermometer
When burning coal we recommend the use of a stove thermometer.
The thermometer is available from all well equipped dealers and
shall be placed on the top of the stove.
Persistent overfiring of the stove (temperatures of 280
will hasten the need for replacement parts that are excluded
from the warranty.
