4.8 Ash removal

Jøtul F 370 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove the ashes.

1. Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.

2. Push/pull the handle for the ash grate/ignition vent out and

in several times so that the ashes fall down into the ash pan.

Use something like a glove to grab the handle on the ash pan.

3. Make sure that the ash pan doesn’t fill up so high that it keeps

ash from coming through the grate into the pan.

5.0 Daily use

Odours when using the fireplace for the first time

When the fireplace is used for the first 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 fire 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 fireplace:

• 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, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids

to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and

damage to the product.

Wood consumption

Jøtul F 370 has a nominal heat output of 5,5 kW. Use of

wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,9 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:

Length: 30 cm

Diameter: 2-5 cm

Amount per fire: 6-8 pieces

Firewood (split logs):

Length: Ca 20 - 30 cm

Diameter: Approx. 8 cm

Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes

Size of the fire: 1.4 kg

Amount per load: 2 pieces

Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent (fig. 29 A)

is open approximately 100% and the handle for the ignition vent

pulled out approximately 1-2 cm (fig. 29 B).

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 be easily 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 the product. It is a good idea

to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and

flue pipes.

6.3 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney

On certain free-standing fireplaces the top plate can be lifted off

and the pipe swept through the top.

Otherwise, flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe

sweeping hatch or through the product’s door opening. Then,

the baffle must be removed.
