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.
Just inside the door is an inspection cover fastened by 2 screws on
the outer edge. The inspection cover is to be removed and replaced
by a corresponding part stored in the ash box. It is marked: Europa.
Remove the safety screw (fig.6) located in the centre and mount
it on the new inspection cover marked Europa.
1. The top plate is fastened by means of 2 transport screws.
These must be removed due to the regulation regarding
free access for sweeping smoke pipes. This is done by first
unscrewing the smoke outlet so that the 2 transport screws
situated on the inside of the product between the side panels
and the top plate are within reach. NB! Be aware of that the
top plate is laying loose on the top of the product, and shall
not be fastened.
2. Insert the ash lip, which is stored inside the burn chamber,
into the grooves under the door.
3. The burn chamber also contains a heat shield, which is to be
mounted under the ash house. Unfold the heat shield (see
fig. 2A) and fasten it with the two screws attached to the
ash house (2B).
4. Screw the door handle knobs to the front door handle and
the ash door handle. (Fig. 3B+C and fig. 7).

Mounting of flue pipe
Jøtul F 400 is factory-assembled for a top flue outlet. If a rear flue
outlet is preferred, loosen the two screws on the sides and rotate
the connecting pipe 180 0 . Then fasten the screws securely.
1. The 150 mm diameter flue pipe is placed directly with the
narrowest outer end onto the product flue outlet. There is a
screw on each side of the product flue outlet (fig. 4A). These
will be used to fasten the flue pipe.
2. Indicate with marks where the screws hit the flue pipe when
the pipe is at the bottom of the flue outlet and drill a 5,5 mm
hole in the flue pipe for the screw.
3. Use a gasket rope to seal the space between the flue pipe
and the product flue outlet.
4. Fasten the flue pipe with the screws.
Note! It is important that the joints are completely sealed. Air
leakage etc. may lead to malfunction.
3.6 Control of functions (fig. 3)
When the product is set up, always check the control functions.
These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.
Jøtul F 400 is equipped with the following controls:
Air vent (A)
Left position = closed.
Right position = fully open.
Doorhandle (B)
Towards the left = open.
Towards the right = closed.
Ash door (C)
Open the door by turning the door handle counter-clockwise one
half rotation. Use a glove or similar and pull out the tray.

3.7 Ash removal

Jøtul F 400 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove the
ashes.
1. Push/pull the handle for the ash grate/ignition vent out and in
several times so that the ashes fall down into the ash pan. Use
something like a glove to grab the handle on the ash pan.
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
