Wood consumption

Jøtul F 270 has a nominal heat output of

6,5

kW. This is equivalent to a consumption of approximately

2,0

kg of quality firewood per hour.

Kindling:

Length: 20-30 cm

Diameter: 2-5 cm

Amount per fire: 6-8 pieces

Firewood (split logs):

Length: Ca 25 cm

Diameter: Approx. 8 cm

Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes

Size of the fire: 1.5 kg

Amount per load: 3 pieces

Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air wash vent is open approximately 50% (fig. 10A),and the handle for the lighting valve is pulled out approximately 1-2 cm (fig. 10B). In this position the ignition vent is now completely closed but the grate is open.

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.

Combustible floor protection

If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, cover the floor under and in front of the fireplace with a plate made of metal or other non-combustible 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.

Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and installation requirements.

3.2 Walls

Distance to wall made of combustible material

- see fig. 1.

You may use the fireplace with an uninsulated flue pipe provided the distances to walls made of combustible materials are as shown in

fig. 1

.

Distance to walls covered by a firewall

Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and installation requirements.

Firewall requirement

The firewall must be at least

100 mm thick

and be made of brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.

3.3 Ceiling

There must be a minimum distance of

1000 mm

to a combustible ceiling above the fireplace.

3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes

• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue pipe approved for solid fuel fired appliances with flue gas temperatures specified in

«2.0 Technical data

.

• The chimney’s cross-section must be at least as big as the flue pipe’s cross-section. See

«2.0 Technical data»

when calculating the correct chimney cross-section.

• Several solid fuel fired appliances can be connected to the same chimney if the chimney’s cross-section is sufficient.

• 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.

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.

• floor for insertion of tube from outdoor air.

Punch out the opening in the back of the pedestal from the inside (

fig. 5A

), and mount the air channel as

fig.7A

shows.

Fresh air supply direct from the exterior or from the chimney with air vents.

• Attach a flexible tube Ø 100 mm directly to the fireplace’s connecting pipe (

fig. 5C- B

Lift off the top plate

•

•

•

•

Lift off the back heat shield (cast iron). This hangs on 3 screws, two above and one below. See f

ig. 9

.

Use a ball-pane hammer and knock out the cut-out in the heat shield from the inside.

(fig. 8)

and attach Swap the cover and the smoke outlet these.
