Maintenance - Jøtul F 470 SHD Serie Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Initial lighting
• Open the air vent and ignition vent by pulling the handles
(Fig. 22 A and B) all the way out. (Use a glove or something
similar to protect your hand in case the handles are hot.)
Fig. 24
Place two logs (fig. 24) at the bottom of the burn chamber
•
and pile the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fire.
• NB: The maximum height of the pile of the wood should
be just below the horizontal holes. The holes must not be
covered.
Close the ignition vent (Fig. 22 B) when the wood has caught
•
fire properly and is burning well.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the heat
you want by adjusting the air vent (fig. 22 A).
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames in front of
the holes under the baffle.
• If the air flow is normal you will be able to shut the door and
the fire will take care of itself.
Adding firewood
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at
a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the
chimney is almost invisible.
5.1 Danger of overheating
The fireplace must never be used in a manner that
causes overheating
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is not
drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further
information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe).
5.2 Ash removal
The Jøtul F 470 SHD has an ash pan that makes it easy to
•
remove the ash.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold.
• Scrape the ash through the grate in the inner bottom and
down into the ash pan. Use a glove or something similar to
protect your hand. Take hold of the handle of the ash pan and
lift out the ash. Make sure that the ash pan never gets so full
that it prevents the ash from falling through the grate and
down into the pan.
• Make sure that the ash pan is pushed all the way in before
closing the door.

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
However, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off
when the air vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning
briskly in the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over
the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it
is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).
6.2 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fireplace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fireplace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using a
soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fireplace, you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to
get the best heating effect from your product. It is a good idea
to do this when cleaning the chimney and flue pipes.
6.3 Sweeping flue pipes to the chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening. The baffle and exhaust deflector
must be removed first.
6.4 Inspection of the fireplace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fireplace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. Check all visible surfaces
for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the gaskets
are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs of wear or
deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer) and press the gasket well
into place. The joint will dry quickly.
