3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fireplace are given in fig. 1a. The specifi 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 flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be
placed within 1 meter in front of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
3.2 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights. It is recommended that flooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called floating
flooring – is removed during installation.
Combustible floor protection
The product has integrated floor protection and may therefore
be placed directly on a wodden floor.
Jøtul recommends that any flooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed from
under the floor plate.

Requirements for protection of inflammable
floors in front of the fireplace
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and

3.3 Walls (fig. 1a)
Distance to wall made of combustible material
Distance to wall with insulated flue pipe: See fig. 1a.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
Distance to non combustible walls
By non combustible one means a non load-bearing wall of solid
brickwork/concrete.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.4 Ceiling
If the ceiling above the fireplace is made of a combustible
material, the minimum distance between the fireplace and
ceiling must be 1000 mm.

4.0 Installation

The product is delivered in at least 2 packing cases.
Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
Make sure that furniture and other household items are not so
close as to get dried up by the stove. Painted surfaces may also
be discoloured.
4.1 Chimneys and flue pipes
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fired appliances with flue gas
temperatures specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
flue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel fired appliances can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is sufficient.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions
and installation requirements.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
