8.0 Reasons for operational
problems - troubleshooting
Poor draught
• Check the length of the chimney and that it complies with
national laws and regulations. Make sure that the minimum
cross section on the chimney is large enough. See also «2.0
Technical data» and «4.5 Chimney» for information.
• Make sure that there is not anything preventing the smoke
gasses from escaping: Branches, trees, etc.
The fire extinguishes after a while
• Make sure that the firewood is sufficiently dry
• Find out whether there is negative pressure in the house, close
mechanical fans and open a window close to the stove.
• Check that the air vent is open.
• Check that the flue outlet is not clogged by soot
Unusual amount of soot accumulates on the
glass
Some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity depends
on:
• Humidity of the fuel.
• The local draught conditions
• Regulating the air vent.
Most of the soot will normally burn off when the air vent is
opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace.«6.1

Special adapter (fig. 6) cat. no. 340856
If connecting the smoke outlet and flue pipe is difficult due to
limited access, Jøtul has a special adapter (optional equipment)
available.
Installation
• Attach the flue pipe to the special adapter.
• Cut a wooden peg to size (145mm) and fasten it in
the two grooves on the lowest part inside the adapter
(fig. 6A).
• Determine where in the fireplace the flue pipe and the
adapter should be placed.
• Secure the adapter approx. 5-10 mm over the fireplace. Note:
Make sure the centre is aligned with the centre of the flue
outlet
• After inserting the cassette put a hand up through the flue
outlet, twist and pull down the adapter through the opening
by using the wooden peg.
• Twist again to lock the connection.
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed. Air
leakage etc. may lead to malfunction.
