Safety Notices  
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.  
Burn solid wood fuel only  
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 loss of life.  
Your local officials have final authority in determining if a  
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement 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.  
Contact the local building or fire officials about  
restrictions and installation inspection  
requirements in your area.  
Assembly Before Installation  
Unpack the Stove  
Do not connect this stove to any air  
distribution duct or system.  
Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer  
immediately if any damage is found. Do not install the  
stove if any damage is evident.  
Extremely hot while in operation! Keep  
children, clothing and furniture away. Contact  
will cause skin burns.

Install smoke detectors in the living areas and  
bedrooms of your home.Test them regularly and  
install new batteries twice annually.  
When installed in the same room as the stove, a  
smoke detector should be located as far from the  
stove as possible to prevent it from sounding  
when adding fuel to the fire.  
Flue Collar Installation  
The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. Apply  
the gasket to the collar before installing the chimney  
connector.  
Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the  
room where the stove is operating. Be aware  
that operation of an exhaust fan or clothes  
dryer can create a low pressure area and  
consequently promote flow reversal through  
the stove and chimney system. The chimney  
and building, however, always work together  
as a system - provision of outside air, directly or  
indirectly to an atmospherically vented  
appliance will not guarantee proper chimney  
performance. Consult your local Jøtul  
authorized dealer regarding specific  
installation/performance issues.  
Position Reversal  
Follow this procedure to change the collar to a Rear Exit  
position if appropriate.  
1. Remove the Flue Collar by reaching through the  
opening and removing the two bolts that secure it to  
the top plate.  
2. Using tin snips, cut out the panel from the Rear Heat  
Shield for the Flue Collar to pass through. See fig. 1.  
3. Remove the two screws that attach the Coverplate to  
the rear outlet. Hold onto the Coverplate while  
removing the second screw so that it does not fall  
out. See fig. 2.  
Jøtul recommends that this stove be installed  
by a professional solid fuel technician or that  
you consult one if you do the work yourself. Also,  
consult your insurance company regarding any  
other specific requirements.  
4. Using the same screws, attach the Flue Collar to the  
rear outlet and the Coverplate to the Top Plate.  
5. Install the Flue Collar gasket. Remove the protective  
paper from the adhesive side and apply the gasket to  
the inside of the Flue Collar.

USA/Canada  
Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal  
screws. The connection to the stove flue collar takes  
two sheetmetal screws.  
For the best performance, the chimney connector  
should be as short and direct as possible, including no  
more than two 90° elbows.  
Cut at  
these  
points  
The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe  
should not exceed 10 ft. (305 cm).  
The maximum horizontal run should not exceed 3 ft.  
(92 cm) with a 1/4rise per foot. Under no circumstance  
should horizontal pipe be allowed to slant down toward  
the chimney.  
No part of the chimney connector may pass through  
an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space,  
or through a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney  
connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where  
passage through a wall or partition of combustible  
construction is desired, the installation must conform  
with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365,and is also addressed  
in this manual.

Chimney Connector  
Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to  
connect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe  
must be black iron or stainless steel and have a minimum  
thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized  
steel pipe for chimney connection - these materials are  
not suitable for use with solid fuel.  
Follow these guidelines regarding chimney connector  
construction:  
Do not use chimney connector as a chimney. It is  
intended only for use as a connection device.  
Each connector section must be oriented with the male  
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 3.

USA/Canada  
There must be at least 1/2” (12.7 mm) air space between  
the flue liner and chimney wall.  
Chimney Requirements  
The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X  
8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger than 8”X  
12” (20 cm x 30 cm). A round fireclay liner must have a  
minimum inside diameter of 6” (15 cm) and maximum  
inside diameter of 8” (20 cm). A larger chimney should  
be relined with an appropriate code approved liner.  
Brick or modular block must be a minimum of 4” (10  
cm) nominal thickness. Stone construction must be at  
least 12” (30 cm) thick.  
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul  
F 100 USA :  
1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile  
or listed steel flue liner.  
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the  
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL  
103 or ULC S629.  
The chimney size should not be less than the cross-  
sectional area of the flue collar,and not more than three  
times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue  
collar.  
A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes,or,  
in their absence, must comply with national  
regulations.  
An existing chimney must be inspected by a  
professional licensed chimney sweep, fire official, or  
code officer to ensure that the chimney is in proper  
working order.  
When selecting a chimney type and the location for the  
chimney in the house, keep this in mind: It is the chimney  
that makes the stove work, not the stove that makes the  
chimney work. This is because a chimney actually creates  
a suction,calleddraftwhich pulls air through the stove.  
No other appliance may be vented into the same flue.  
An airtight clean-out door should be located at the  
base of the chimney.  
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-  
sectional area (size),and temperature of the chimney, as  
well as the proximity of surrounding trees or buildings.  
Prefabricated Chimneys  
A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested and listed  
for use with solid fuel burning appliances. High  
Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the U.S.  
and High Temperature Standard ULC S-629 for Canada.  
The manufacturer’s installation instructions must be  
followed precisely.Always maintain the proper clearance  
to combustibles as established by the pipe manufacturer.  
This clearance is usually a minimum of 2”,although it may  
vary by manufacturer or for certain chimney components.  
A short exterior masonry chimney will give the poorest  
performance because it will be difficult to warm the flue  
and sustain the temperatures necessary to maintain draft  
strength. In extremely cold climates, it may be necessary  
to reline the chimney or extend the height to help establish  
draft.  
A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep warm  
and will perform the best under a variety of weather and  
environmental conditions.  
Chimney Height  
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney  
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211  
for the US. And CSA CAN-B365 for Canada). However,  
many local codes differ from the national code to take  
into account climate, altitude,or other factors.Your local  
building inspector is the final approving authority.Consult  
them prior to installation.  
The chimney must be at least 3 feet (92 cm) higher than  
the highest point where it passes through the roof and at  
least 2 feet (61 cm) higher than the highest part of the  
roof or structure that is within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the  
chimney,measured horizontally.See figure 4.  
Do not connect the stove to any air distribution duct or  
system.  
2’  
61 cm

Masonry Chimneys  
When installing the Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonry  
chimney you must conform to all of the following  
guidelines:  
10’  
305 cm  
The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or  
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (14 mm)  
and must be installed with refractory mortar.  
Figure 4. Chimney Height Requirement.  
6
 
USA/Canada  
The opening must be filled with at least 12” (30.5 cm) of  
brick around a fireclay liner.The liner must be ASTM C35  
or equivalent, having a minimum wall thickness of 5/8”  
(16 mm).  
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet (4.27 m) may not provide  
adequate draft. Inadequate draft can result in smoke  
spillage when loading the stove, or when the door is open.  
Poor draft can also cause back puffing (ignition of gas  
build-up inside the firebox) and sluggish performance.  
The minimum height does not,in itself,guarantee proper  
chimney performance.  
The Pass-through must be at least 18” (45.7 cm) from  
combustible ceiling materials.  
Excessive chimney height can promote over-strong draft  
resulting in high stove temperatures and short burn times.  
Excessive draft can be corrected by installing a butterfly  
damper.Your Jøtul dealer is an expert resource to consult  
regarding draft issues or other performance-related  
questions.  
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers, and  
construct a sill frame to maintain the proper dimensions  
and to support the weight of the brick.  
The bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of 3 ½  
inches thick (nominal 4”/ 102 mm).  
Refractory mortar must be used at the junction of the  
chimney and the pass-through liner.The pass-through liner  
must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond the inner  
surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme care when  
constructing the hole in the chimney liner as the tiles can  
shatter easily.  
Wall Pass-Throughs  
In the U.S.  
The National Fire Protection Association’s publication,  
NFPA 211,Standard for Chimneys,Fireplaces,Vents and Solid  
Fuel Burning Appliances permits four methods for passing  
through a combustible wall. Before proceeding with any  
method be sure to consult with your local building officials  
to discuss any local code requirements.  
In Canada  
The installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365,  
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and  
Equipment. Before proceeding be sure to consult your  
local building inspector.  
Common Method:  
See Figure 5. Remove all combustible materials from the  
pass-through area ( around the chimney connector), a  
minimum 12” (30.5 cm). A 6” (15.2 cm) diameter connector  
will require a 31” x 31” (78.7 x 78.7 cm) square opening.  
Common Method:  
This method requires the removal of all combustible  
materials from at least 18” (45.7 cm) around the chimney  
connector’s proposed location. A 6round liner requires  
a minimum opening 43” x 43” (109.2 x 109.2) square.  
Wood Stud 2”  
Clearance to

Header  
The space that is cleared of combustible materials must  
remain empty. Sheet metal panels can be used to cover  
the area. However, when using a panel on both sides of  
the wall, each cover must be installed on noncombustible  
spacers at least 1” from the wall. If one panel of sheet  
metal is to be used it may be installed flush to the wall.

Connecting to the Chimney  
Masonry Chimney  
Connector  
extends into  
the first flue  
When installing a Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonry chimney  
through a “thimble” (the opening through the chimney  
wall to the flue), the thimble must consist of ceramic tile  
or steel and be securely cemented in place.  
Damper is  
sealed with a  
steel plate  
and sealant  
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely  
inside the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It  
may be necessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe  
with a slightly smaller diameter than standard stove pipe).  
See figure 6.  
Connector pipe must  
be flush with the  
inside of the flue tile  
Figure 7. Hearthmount Installation.  
Chimney  
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the  
area of the stove flue collar and cannot be more than  
three times greater than the cross sectional area of the  
stove flue collar.  
Connector  
Pipe  
Flue Tile  
Thimble  
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove,  
an approved relining system must be installed to resize  
the flue.  
Figure 6. Masonry Chimney Thimble.  
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be  
installed around the connector pipe at the damper frame  
and sealed with the proper sealant (usually High-Temp  
Silicone).  
The connector pipe or thimble sleeve must not protrude  
into the flue liner or otherwise restrict draft.  
Use refractory cement to seal the seam between the  
chimney connector,sleeve,and thimble.  
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing  
another appliance of any kind.  
Hearthmount into a Masonry  
Fireplace  
The Jøtul F 100 USA may be installed into a masonry  
fireplace with a minimum opening height of 22 1/2”  
(572 mm).  
Building code requires that the fireplace damper plate be  
removed or securely fixed in the open position. A  
connector pipe must then extend from the stove’s flue  
exit through the damper area of the fireplace and into  
the chimney tile liner. See figure 7.

USA/Canada  
Prefabricated Chimneys  
Clearance to Combustibles  
When connecting the Jøtul F 100 USA to a prefabricated  
metal chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s  
instructions and be sure to use the components that are  
required. This usually includes a “smoke pipe adapter”  
that is secured to the bottom section of the metal chimney  
and allows the chimney pipe to be secured to it with two  
sheet metal screws. See figure 8.

Floor Protection  
The Jøtul F 100 USA requires one of the following forms  
of hearth protection:  
Floor  
1. Any UL, ULC or WH listed hearth board. (No bottom  
heat shield required).  
2. Any noncombustible material with use of the bottom  
heat shield.  
Figure 8. Prefabricated Listed Type HT Chimney.  
All forms of protection must include a noncombustible  
surface extending forward from the glass panel at least  
16” for the U.S., or 18” (46cm) for Canada. Protection  
must extend 8” (21 cm) from the sides and rear for both:  
the U.S. and Canada.  
This will result in a minimum floor protection of 37”W x  
38” D for the U.S. or 37” W x 40” D for Canada. See  
figure 9.  
In a rear vent installation, the floor protection must also  
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (5 cm)  
beyond either side of the pipe. See figure 9.

USA/CANADA  
Notice: Many manufacturers have developed woodstove  
accessories that permit clearance reduction. Use only  
those accessories that have been tested by an  
independent laboratory and carry the laboratory’s testing  
mark. Be sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
Clearances to Walls and Ceilings  
The clearances listed and diagramed in this manual have  
been tested to UL and ULC standards and are the  
minimum clearances to combustible materials  
specifically established for the Jøtul F 100 USA.  
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet  
rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are  
not limited to those that are visible and also include  
materials that are behind noncombustible materials.  
60”  
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material,  
consult your local fire officials.  
153 cm  
Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered  
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also  
“Fire-rated” sheet rock is also considered combustible.

See pages12-13 for complete clearance requirements and  
diagrams.  
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances  
Chimney Connector Heat Shields: Use only connector  
heat shielding listed for use with solid fuel heaters. The  
connector heat shield must begin 1” above the lowest  
exposed point of the connector pipe and extend vertically  
a minimum of 25” (640 cm) above the top surface of the  
stove.

Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances  
through the use of wall mounted protection:  
The Jøtul F 100 USA can be installed in an Alcove as  
diagrammed in figures 10 and 11.  
1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall  
pipe.  
In  
the U.S. refer to NFPA 211  
, Standard for Chimneys,  
Fireplaces,Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for  
acceptable materials, proper sizing and construction  
guidelines.  
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls and  
rear wall must be protected per NFPA 211 or CAN/  
CSA-B365. The wall protection must be elevated 1” (25  
mm) from the floor and spaced at least 1” (25 mm) off  
the combustible wall, using noncombustible spacers,  
to allow for air circulation behind the shield.  
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom  
air space must be 48” (121 cm).  
In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code  
for Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment, also  
for acceptable materials, proper sizing and  
construction guidelines.

USA/Canada  
Controls on the Jøtul F 100 USA  
Operation  
Combustion air is controlled by the Primary Air Lever,  
located above the Loading Door. The lever actuates a  
shutter over the air inlet which regulates the volume of  
primary air entering the firebox and controls heat output  
and burn time. See fig. 13.  
Please read the following section before building a fire in  
your new Jøtul F 100 USA.  
Use Solid Wood Fuel Only  
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary control  
lever should be at the far right position, which allows the  
maximum amount of air into the stove. The greater the  
amount of air entering the stove, the hotter and faster  
the fire will burn.  
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only.  
Wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months  
will provide the cleanest, most efficient heat.  
Do not burn:  
• Coal  
• Treated or painted wood  
Moving the lever to the left reduces the airflow into the  
• Garbage  
• Chemical Chimney cleaners  
stove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output.  
• Cardboard • Colored paper  
• Solvents  
• Any synthetic fuel or logs  
• Drift wood • Laminated wood  
Air Flow / Performance  
Primary air enters the firebox directly above the glass  
panel on the door. The incoming air creates a turbulent  
barrier or “airwash” between the glass and the fire.  
Reducing the flow of primary air directly reduces the  
effectiveness of the airwash. Determining the primary  
air setting for the best overall performance for your  
particular needs and installation will best be established  
over time through trial and error.  
The burning of any of these materials can result in the  
release of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type  
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar  
liquids to start or“freshen-upthe fire. Always keep such  
liquids away from the heater at all times.  
Important: Never build or allow the fire to rest directly on  
the glass panels. The logs should always be spaced at  
least one inch from the glass to allow for proper air flow  
within the firebox.  
Break-In Procedure  
The Jøtul F 100 USA is constructed of cast iron and high  
temperature furnace cement. This type of construction  
requires the stove to be “broken-in” gradually so that  
heat expansion does not occur too quickly and cause  
damage.The following steps describe the proper break-  
in procedure for the Jøtul F 100 USA. Use a magnetic stove-  
top thermometer to monitor stove temperature, placed  
directly on the top plate.  
1
Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling. Only  
allowthe stove to reach a maximum surface  
temperature of 200°F (93° C). Burn for approximately  
1 hour.  
2
3
Allow the stove to cool to room temperature.  
Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a  
maximum temperature of 300°F (149°C) for 1 hour.  
Cool the stove to room temperature.  
4
5
Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach  
a surface temperature of 400°F (204°C)  
Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the  
“break-inprocedure.  
Figure 13. Slide the Air Control Lever to the right to increase  
combustion air and to the left to decrease combustion air.  
6
Note: If the temperature exceeds the limit during any  
break-in fire, move the primary air control lever all the  
way to the left to shut off the air supply completely. It is  
normal that the stove top temperature will continue to  
climb until the fuel burns down somewhat. Once the fire  
14  
 
USA/Canada  
is out and the stove has cooled to room temperature,  
continue the break-in procedure.Never attempt to reduce  
the temperature by removing burning logs from the fire.  
Adding Fuel  
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed of  
hot embers still exist, follow this reloading procedure:  
Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.  
Push the air control lever to the full open position (far  
right).  
Breakin Odors: It is normal for a new painted stove to  
emit odor and smoke during the first few fires. This is  
caused by curing of the high temperature paint and will  
diminish with each fire. Open a window or door to provide  
additional ventilation to alleviate this condition.  
Wait a few seconds before opening the door.  
Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot embers  
equally around the firebox.  
Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.  
Close the door, be sure to latch the door tightly.  
Wait 5 – 10 minutes before adjusting the primary air  
to the desired heat output setting. (If you have at  
least a 2” thick ember bed when reloading, it may be  
possible to close the door and immediately adjust the  
air control setting).  
Enamel Stove: You may notice moisture condensation on  
the surface ot he stove during the first few fires. To  
avoid permanent spotting of the surface, use a soft towel  
to wipe the moisture away.  
Starting and Maintaining a Fire  
Burn only solid wood directly on the bottom grate of the  
stove. Do not elevate the fire in any way.  
The Formation of Creosote  
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open  
position (to the right), start with several sheets of  
crumbled newspaper placed directly on the grate. On  
top of the newspaper, place several pieces of small  
dry kindling (approx. 1” in diameter) with two to three  
larger logs (approx. 3” to 5” in diameter) on top.  
2. Light the fire and close the door, slowly building the  
fire by adding larger and larger logs. Be sure to follow  
the break-in procedure before creating a hot fire that  
might damage the stove.  
When wood is burned slowly and at low temperatures, it  
produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine  
with moisture to form creosote. The slow moving smoke  
carries the creosote vapors, which condense in the cooler  
chimney flues, and this creosote then sticks to the chimney  
walls.  
The creosote that accumulates in the chimney is highly  
flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires. To prevent  
chimney fires it is important to have the chimney and  
chimney connector pipe inspected and/or cleaned  
semiannually. A qualified chimney sweep or other  
authorized service person can provide this service.  
3. Once the stove has reached a surface temperature  
range of between 400° and 600°,(204°C -316°C),adjust  
the primary air control lever as necessary to generate  
the heat output and burn time desired.  
We recommend use of a magnetic stove top  
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of  
the stove. The optimum surface temperature range  
for the most efficient burn is between 400° and 600°  
(204°C -316°C).  
It is also important to remember that chimney size,  
temperature and height all affect draft which in turn  
affects the formation of creosote. Be sure to follow the  
installation and operation guidelines established in this  
manual.  
You can also monitor stove performance through the  
window. Peak combustion efficiency occurs when  
exhaust gas is burned at the baffle in the top of the  
firebox. This is apparent as yellow flames appearing  
at the secondary air ports in the underside of the  
baffle plate.  
Never overfire the stove. If any part of the stove or  
chimney glows, you are overfiring. A house fire or serious  
damage to the stove or chimney could result. If this  
condition occurs, immediately close the air control.

Maintenance  
Ash Removal  
Glass Removal or Replacement  
The glass may be removed with the door in place.  
1. Hold the glass in place while you remove the glass clips  
from the inside of the door. Lift the glass panel off of  
the two bottom tabs in the door.  
Ash removal will be required periodically, depending on  
how frequently the stove is used. Avoid letting the ash  
accumulate to spill over the Ash Fettle. For your protection,  
always wear safety gloves when handling the ashes. Use  
an ash shovel to remove the accumulation from the  
bottom of the firebox. The Fettle may be lifted from the  
front of the firebox to aid in ash removal.  
2. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall  
the glass clips. See figure 14.  
3. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after  
the stove has be burned and the gasketing has been  
seated.  
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the glass  
clips gradually and alternately. Uneven or too great  
pressure can damage the glass.  
Ashes should only be placed in a metal container equipped  
with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on  
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from  
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the  
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally  
dispersed, they should be kept in the closed container until  
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.  
Glass Care  
Cleaning  
On occasion it will be necessary to clean the carbon  
deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon and fly  
ash are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended  
period of time it could eventually cause the glass to  
become etched and cloudy. Any creosote that might  
develop on the glass will burn off during the next hot fire.  
Figure 14. Glass and Gasket Replacement  
Follow this cleaning procedure:  
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.  
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this  
purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass  
and ultimately leave the glass frosted.  
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning the  
stove.  
Caution! Always operate the door slowly and carefully to  
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use the door  
to push wood into the firebox. If the glass becomes cracked  
or broken follow the replacement procedure below.  
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass  
panel.  
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel  
specifically designed for the Jøtul F100. Do not use  
substitutes. Replacement glass is available from your local  
Jøtul dealer.

General Maintenance  
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the  
life of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.  
At least once per year you should perform the following  
maintenance procedures:  
Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)  
Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top  
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of the  
stove.  
Thoroughly clean the stove. Use a soft cloth with soap  
and water to clean enamel surfaces. Be sure the stove  
is cold, before cleaning.  
The optimum surface temperature range for the most  
0

efficient performance is 400 F - 600 F (205 C - 316 C).  
Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum  
for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for  
ashes.  
Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)  
Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect  
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace  
all cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with  
furnace cement.  
This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed on stoves  
using double wall chimney connector to provide additional  
protection to combustible materials from heat radiating  
from the flue collar of the stove. The insulating properties  
of double wall pipe result in higher flue temperatures in  
this area than are generated in single wall connectors.  
Gaskets  
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness.To check  
the seal of the front door, close and latch the door on a  
dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. You  
should feel resistance as you pull. If it can be easily  
removed, the seal is too loose. Check several spots around  
the door.  
Gasket Replacement  
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket  
from the door.  
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.  
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.  
4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement to seat  
it in the channel. Close and latch the door and then  
reopen.Wipe away any excess cement that may have  
squeezed out from around the gasket.

Chimney System  
The Jøtul F 100 USA is designed to burn cleanly and  
efficiently when used according to the guidelines in this  
manual. In order to maintain proper performance, you  
should inspect the chimney and chimney connector at  
least twice a year and clean when creosote and fly ash  
deposits exceed 1/4in any part of the system. Failure to  
keep the chimney system free of creosote and build up  
could result in a serious chimney fire.
