Maintenance - Jotul I 80 Mini Bedienungsanleitung

ENGLISH
• Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fire.
• Close the air vent once the wood has properly ignited
and is burning well. Check that afterburning (secondary
combustion) starts.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace must never be used in
a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air so
that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek
professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5 Chimney»
for information.
5.7 From winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under difficult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less firewood and have a larger opening in
the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In this
was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often than
usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».

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 above the fireplace 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 wash vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned
off when the air wash 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 Ash removal
• Use a scoop or similar to remove the ash through the door.
• Always leave some ash as a protective layer on the bottom
of the fireplace.
• Ash must be placed in a metal container with a sealed lid.
Optional equipment includes a solution for dealing with ashes.
See the section: «9.0 Optional equipment».
Also see description on how to handle ashes below «3.1 Fire
preventive measures».
6.3 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the stove
during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore reduce
the stove'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.
6.4 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney
Sweeping of flue pipes must be done through the flue pipe
sweeping hatch or through the stove door opening. Then the
baffle plate must be removed. See how this is done under section:
«7.0 Servicing».
6.5 Control of the stove
Jøtul recommends that you personally control your stove carefully
after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface areas 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.
