5.2 Ash removal
• The Jøtul F 480 has an ash pan that makes it easy to
remove the ash.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold.
• Scrape the ash through the grate in the inner bottom and
down into the ash pan. Use a glove or something similar to
protect your hand. Take hold of the handle of the ash pan
and lift out the ash. Make sure that the ash pan never gets
so full that it prevents the ash from falling through the grate
and down into the pan.
• Make sure that the ash pan is pushed all the way in before
closing the door.
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 on the top of the product 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 vent. Most of the soot layer will normally
be burned off when the air vent is opened all the way and a fi re
is burning briskly in the fi replace.
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 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fi replace’s heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can easily be removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi replace, you should regularly allow the fi re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary
to get the best heating effect from your product. It is a good
idea to do this when cleaning the chimney and fl ue pipes.
6.3 Sweeping fl ue pipes to the
chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the fl ue pipe sweeping
hatch or through the door opening. The baffl e and exhaust
defl ector must be removed fi rst.
6.4 Inspection of the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you carefully inspect your fi replace
yourself after it has been swept/cleaned. Check all visible
surfaces 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.
6.5 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years’
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of
any loose particles before new paint is applied.
7.0 Servicing
Warning! Any unauthorised changes to the product are
illegal! Only original spare parts may be used!
7.1 Service/replacing parts in the burn
chamber
NB: Use tools with great care! The vermiculite plates may be
damaged if treated roughly.

the 2 screws that holds the exhaust plate in place.
3. Log retainer (C): Lift the log retainer straight up and out of
the burn chamber.
4. Ash grate (D) – First remove the log retainer (C). Pull the
ash pan out and push the ash grate (D) up from below so
that you can take hold of it from the top side and lift it out
of the burn chamber.
5. Side burn plates (F): First remove the log retainer (C) and
the ash pan. Then lift the side plates out.
