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.
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 has a nominal heat output of ca. 5,5 kW.

Nominal heat output is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 50 % (fi g. 17) The ignition vent is closed.
Ash removal
Jøtul F 100 ECO has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove
the ashes.
• Only remove ashes when the fi replace is cold.
Fig. 19
• Scrape the ashes through the grate into the ash pan.
Ideally, some ash should be left as a protective layer for
the bottom of the fi replace.
• Make sure that the ash pan doesn't fi ll up so high that it
keeps ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
• Open the fi re grate.
