Initial lighting

• Open the air vent and ignition vent by pulling the handles

(Fig. 22 A and B) all the way out. (Use a glove or something

similar to protect your hand in case the handles are hot.)

Fig. 24

• Place two logs (fig. 24) at the bottom of the burn chamber

and pile the kindling in layers.

• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.

• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer

of kindling and light the fire.

• NB: The maximum height of the pile of the wood should

be just below the horizontal holes. The holes must not be

covered.

• Close the ignition vent (Fig. 22 B) when the wood has caught

fire properly and is burning well.

• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the heat

you want by adjusting the air vent (fig. 22 A).

• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.

This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames in front of

the holes under the baffle.

• If the air flow is normal you will be able to shut the door and

the fire will take care of itself.

Adding firewood

Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at

a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause

extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation.

Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.

The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the

chimney is almost invisible.

5.1 Danger of overheating

The fireplace must never be used in a manner that

causes overheating

Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much

air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is

when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the

air vent opening immediately.

Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is not

drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further

information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe).

5.2 Ash removal

• The Jøtul F 470 SHD has an ash pan that makes it easy to

remove the ash.

• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold.

• Scrape the ash through the grate in the inner bottom and

down into the ash pan. Use a glove or something similar to

protect your hand. Take hold of the handle of the ash pan and

lift out the ash. Make sure that the ash pan never gets so full

that it prevents the ash from falling through the grate and

down into the pan.

• Make sure that the ash pan is pushed all the way in before

closing the door.

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 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.

6.3 Sweeping flue pipes to the chimney

Flue pipes must be swept through the flue pipe sweeping hatch

or through the door opening. The baffle and exhaust deflector

must be removed first.

6.4 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.
