Enameled products: Condensation may form on the
surface of the stove the first few times it is used. This must
be wiped off to prevent permanent stains forming when
the surface heats up.
Daily use
Fire up with the aid of newspapers and some kindling
wood. 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

Draught vent (fig. 3- A).
Regulate when the wood is
properly lit and burns well. Check that the afterburning
(secondary combustion) starts. This is best indicated by
yellow, flickering flames in the air chamber. Then regulate
the rate of combustion to the desired level of heating by
adjusting the draught vent.
Always use good quality firewood. It gives the best results
and doesn’t damage the product.
Never burn the following materials in the stove:
- household waste, plastic bags etc.
- painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic)
- chipboard or laminated boards
- driftwood
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
Note! Never use flammable liquids such as petrol,
kerosene, red spirit or similar to start the fire. This may
cause harm to both yourself and the product.
Note! Danger of overheating: The stove must never be
used in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating is defined as overfilling the stove with
firewood and/or leaving the draught vent fully open.
The chimney draught should never exceed 2,5 mmVs (25 Pa).
A sure sign of overheating is when parts of the stove glows
red. When this happens, reduce the draught vent opening
immediately

Warning! Each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.
Maintenance
Cleaning the glass
Jøtul F 400 is equipped with an air wash system. Through
the draught 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, a
glass cleaner is recommended (follow the
instructions for use on the bottle).
Ash removal
Jøtul F 400 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove
the ash. Scrape the ash through the grate in the base plate
and into the ash pan. Use something like a glove to grab
the handle on the ash pan and take away the ash. Make
sure that the ash pan doesn’t fill up so high that it keeps
ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
Make sure the door to the ash pan is securely shut when
the stove is in use.
Also see the description of how to handle ashes under:
Measures to prevent fires.
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.
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.
Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney
It is possible to sweep through the sweeping hatch in the
flue pipe or to remove the top plate and sweep through
the smoke outlet.
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.
External maintenance
Painted products may change color after several years
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of
any loose particles before new Jøtul stove paint is applied
