Maintenance; Optional Equipment; Warranty - Jotul F 262 Manuel D'installation & D'utilisation

7.0 Maintenance

All maintenance must be done when the stove is cold!
7.1 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.
7.2 Sweeping flue pipes to the chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch
or through the door opening.
One of the baffles will have to be removed first in order to do this.
7.3 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.
7.4 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years' usage.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new paint is applied.

9.0 Warranty

Jøtul AS provides its customers with a ten-year warranty with the
right to return external cast-iron items if they show defects as a
result of faulty materials and/or manufacturing after the initial
purchase/installation of the fireplace. The buyer is entitled to
return the goods provided that the fireplace has been installed in
compliance with current laws and regulations and in compliance
with Jøtul's installation and operating instructions.
The warranty does not cover:
The installation of optional extras, for example, to rectify local
draught conditions, air supply or other circumstances beyond
Jøtul's control. The warranty does not cover consumables, such
as burn plates, smoke baffles, fire grates, bottom grates, brick
refractories, dampers and gaskets as they deteriorate over time
due to normal wear and tear. The warranty does not cover damage
caused as a result of using unsuitable fuel when lighting the fire,
such as driftwood, impregnated and painted wood, plank offcuts,
chipboard, etc. Overheating may easily occur if unsuitable fuel is
used, i.e. the fireplace becomes red hot, which causes the paint
to discolour and the cast iron parts to crack.
The warranty is not valid for damage caused while the product
is in transit from the distributor to the delivery address. The
warranty is not valid either for damage caused by the use of
non-original parts.
