Jøtul F 100 ECO.2 Serie Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation page 13

Condensed water coming from the fi replace appears as a
black, tar-like liquid. This should be wiped off immediately
to avoid discoloration of the fi replace, fl oor or surrounding
building components.
It is important to get the wood burning quickly to avoid
condensation.
If the condensation continues, mineral sand can be placed on
the bottom plate.
5.0 Daily use
Odours when using the fi replace for the
fi rst time
• When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit
an irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens
because the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room
should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fi re burn with a
high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared
and no smoke or odours can be detected.
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on "Wood quality".
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood
such as birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no
more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Refuelling on to a low fi re bed
If there is insuffi cient burning material in the fi rebed to light
a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refuelling must be carried out onto a suffi cient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in
a reasonable period.If there are too few embers in the fi re bed
add suitable kindling to prevent excess smoke.
Be especially careful never to use the following
materials as fuel in your fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.
Wood consumption
Jøtul F 100 ECO.2 has a nominal heat output of ca. 4,9 kW.
Use of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,6 kg/h.
Another important factor for proper fuel consumption is that
the logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
approx. 25-33 cm
Length:
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
6 - 8 pieces.
Amount per fi re:
Firewood (split logs):
Recommend length:
Diameter:
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes
Size of the fi re:
Amount per load:
Nominal heat output is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 50 % (fi g. 17) The ignition vent is closed.
The maximum amount of fuel specifi ed in this manual
should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess
smoke.
Ash removal
Jøtul F 100 ECO.2 has an ash pan which makes it easy to
remove the ashes.
• Only remove ashes when the fi replace is cold.
