Notices
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Do not burn
garbage or flammable fluids.
If this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire
may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul F 400
Castine installed by a professional installer of solid fuel
burning appliances.
Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room where
the stove is operating. Operating an exhaust fan or a
clothes dryer could create a low pressure area, causing
poisonous gases to come out of the stove into the room.
You can prevent low pressure conditions by providing
adequate combustion air within 24” but not closer than
12” from the stove. Or, simply install the optional outside
air manifold system, which allows the direct connection
of air from outside the house to the stove.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Some fuels
will, during combustion, separate carbon monoxide and
generate it in the burn chamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic,
so please follow the guidelines in this manual for proper
operation of your Jøtul F 400 Castine.
If you for some reason experience smoke “roll-out” from
the stove, it may activate smoke detectors if installed in
the house.
Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the
installation directions. Contact the local building or fire
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Reminder: Your local officials have final authority in
determining if a proposed installation is acceptable. Any
requirement, that is requested by the local authority
having jurisdiction, that is not specifically addressed in
THIS manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local codes in the
U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local codes.
Mounting before installation
The F 400 Castine is sold in many countries with varying
