3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Wooden floor protection
Jøtul F 500 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations. See fig.1.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Note! The side load door must not be used in corner installations.
Distance to wall made of combustible material-
see fig. 1
The fireplace is authorised for use with the distances to the wall
of flammable material as shown in fig. 1.
A heat shield for the back can be ordered and mounted depending
on the position of the fireplace and the desired distance to
combustible materials. See fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of brick,
concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and structures
with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
ceiling above the fireplace.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
• A chimney can be linked to the fireplace and flue approved
for solid fuel-fired fireplaces with a flue gas temperature as
specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the flue. Please use «2.0 Technical data»
to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
• Several solid fuel-fired fireplaces can be connected to the
same chimney if the cross-section of the chimney is adequate.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fireplace should be test-
mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the fireplace
and the hole in the chimney. See fig. 1 for minimum dimensions.
• Ensure that the flue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that it is particularly important that
connections have a certain flexibility in order to prevent
movement in the installation leading to cracks.
N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
Recommended chimney draught: See «2.0 Technical data». If the
draught is too strong you can install and operate a flue damper
to control the draught.
3.5 Assembly prior to installation
Note! Check that the stove is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing it.
A heat shield for the floor shall always be used. A heat shield
for the back can be ordered and mounted depending on the
position of the fireplace and the desired distance to combustible
materials. See fig. 1.
1. The oval top plate is fastened with screws during transport.
Remove the screws from underneath the top plate and leave it
unattached. This makes it easier for the chimney sweep when
the product and the flue pipe have to be cleaned.
2. Take out the ash lips, which are inside the burn chamber, and
install. The one in front is placed loosely on top of the base
plate, while the side ash
lip is fastened with the screw that
is attached to the base plate.
3. Fasten the heat shield under the middle using 2 M6 x 12
screws. Follow the fig. 5.
Mounting of flue pipe
The stove is installed with a 150 mm diameter flue pipe. This must
be an approved thickness.
The flue outlet for Jøtul F
500 is inside the burn chamber during
transportation. You can choose between a top or rear outlet from
the flue pipe. The screws for fastening are in the bag containing
screws.
1. Flue pipes 150 mm dia. are placed directly onto the product
flue outlet. There is a screw on both sides of the product flue
outlet (fig. 3A). These are used to fasten the flue pipe.
2. Mark where the screws hit the flue pipe when it is at the
very bottom of the flue outlet and drill a 5,5 mm hole for the
screw in the flue pipe.
3. Use gasket and cement to seal between flue pipe and product
flue outlet. Place the gasket around the lower part of the flue
pipe and fill up the space with cement.
4. Fasten the flue pipe with screws.
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed. Air
leakage etc. may lead to malfunction.
