Maintenance - Jotul I 350 Montage- Und Bedienungsanleitung

ENGLISH
Initial lighting
• Open the ignition vent on the door fully by moving the
vent all the way to the right (fig. 6A). Then open the draught
vent by moving it fully by pushing it to the right (6B).
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these
and add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top
and light the newspaper. Increase the size of the logs
gradually.
• Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fire.Close
the ignition vent when the firewood has ignited and the
fire is burning briskly.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames at the air
chamber.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the draught vent (fig. 6B). (Use a glove,
for example, when the handle is warm.)
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 75% (fig. 6B).
5.6 Adding firewood
• Each load should burn down to embers before new firewood
is added. Open the door slightly and allow the negative
pressure to level out prior to opening the door completely.
• 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 (fig. 6B) once the wood has properly
ignited and is burning well. Check that afterburning
(secondary combustion) starts. This is best indicated by
yellow, flickering flames under the baffle.
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
and flue pipe» for information.
5.7 Using fireplace during the
transition 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
Jøtul I 350 / Jøtul I 350 FL is equipped with top draught (air
wash). Through the air vent air is sucked in above the fireplace
and washed down along the inside of the glass. This system
has the advantage that it provides better combustion and
reduces the buildup of soot deposits on the glass.
Still, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the draught vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned
off when the draught 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. If it is
necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
a glass cleaner (follow the instructions for use on the bottle).
6.2 Ash removal
• Lift up the ash cover (fig. 5A).
• Use an appropriate tool to push the ash through the
opening. Lift out the ash retainer.
• Ideally, some ash should be left as a protective layer for the
bottom of the fireplace.
Also see the description below about how to handle ash: «3.0
Safety precautions».
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. 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
The simplest way to clean the flue pipe is to remove both
baffle plates and sweep through the door of the stove.

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.
