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 connections must 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.
The 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
N.B. Check that the fireplace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fireplace.
After unpacking the stove - take out the items which are packed
inside it (fig. 2). These items are ash lip and a door handle knob,
along with a plastic bag of screws for component assembly.
1. Unhook the door. Do not loosen the washer which is under
the lower hinge pin.
2. Remove the top-plate of the stove. This is connected to the
side plates with two collar head screws. In this way it is easier
to move the stove (fig. 3).
3. Install the ash lip by hooking it onto the front, just below
the door (fig. 2C).
4. Screw the door handle knob to the front door handle (fig. 2D).
Choose a Flue Exit Position
The Jøtul F 3 is equipped with a rear heat shield as standard,
and has a cast knockout on the rear and sides, which has to be
removed in order to install the flue pipe.
Caution! Remove the door prior to striking the knockout, to avoid
breaking the glass.
Rear vented
1. If the stove is to be installed in a rear-exiting configuration,
remove the cover plate (fig. 4A) on the heat shield using a
cutting pliers.
2. Touch up any remaining sharp edges with a file.
3. Then, use a heavy mallet and strike hard in the middle of
the knockout.
Side vented
• The knockout can be removed from the inside (fig. 5).
Top vented
• When assembling the top, the top plate is unscrewed. Remove
the screw which fastens the cross bar (see fig. 6).
• Place the gasket (Fig. 7 A) on the underside of the smoke
outlet (Fig. 7 B).
• Mount the smoke outlet with use of the supplied screws and
cross bar (Fig. 7 C).
NB. Some enameled models have been prepared for rear flue
outlet. Ensure all possible unused flue outlets are suitably
blanked off.
Assembling of the flue
1. Use a flue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it to
be swept if top exit is choosen.
2. Remove the round ‘knock out’ in the top of the stove by
removing the screw which fastens the cross bar (see fig. 6).
Then take the flue cover off .
3. Using nuts, bolts, washers and spacers (with a spacer between
the hole in the stove and the flue pipe), secure the flue pipe
into place.
4. Seal the remaining gap around the flue pipe with fire cement.
3.6 Control of functions
When the product is set up, always check the control
functions. These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.
The Jøtul F
3 is equipped with the following controls:
Ignition vent control. Fig. 2A
Air vent control. Fig. 2B
Ashdoor/pan Fig. 2C
3.7 Ash removal
Jøtul F 3 is equipped with an outdoor ash pan, which makes it
easy to remove the ashes.
1. Scrape the ash through the grate in the base plate and into
the ash pan. Use something like a glove to grab the handle
on the ash pan and take away the ash.
2. Make sure that the ash pan doesn’t fill up so high that it keeps
ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
3. Make sure the door to the ash pan is securely shut when the
stove is in use.
For the rest, see description of how to handle ash in the Manual
on general use and maintenance in Point «6.1 Fire preventive
measures».
