Jøtul F 275 – Cast iron base with glass door
(Fig. 15 and 16)
1. The floor shall be protected from heat from the product using
the supplied heat shield. Attach it to the 4 screws as shown in
fig. 4.
2. Assemble the cast iron base as described under “Jøtul F 274 –
Cast iron base.”
3. Attach the hinge for the glass door to the base using the
M6x20 mm screws, which are in the bag of screws for the glass
door (Fig. 15 A).
4. Insert the spring between the threaded holes and the hinge
before tightening the screws (Fig. 15 B).
5. Screw the other end of the spring firmly in position (Fig. 16 A).
6. Attach the door damper on the inside of the glass door in the
middle (Fig. 16 D). NB! There must be an even gap between the
door and the base to allow the door to hang straight. Adjust the
door, if necessary, by tightening or loosening the two screws
(Fig. 16 C).
Supply of outdoor air
With the F 270 it is possible to have outdoor air directly in the
product through the base, or through the flexible supply tube
from the exterior/chimney and to the connecting pipe on the
product.
Fresh air supply through the base
• Mark where the product will stand, and make a hole in the
floor for insertion of tube from outdoor air.
• Punch out the opening in the back of the pedestal from the
inside (fig. 5A), and mount the air channel as fig.7A shows.
Fresh air supply direct from the exterior or from the chimney
with air vents.
• Attach a flexible tube Ø 100 mm directly to the fireplace’s
connecting pipe (fig. 5C- B) by using a hose clamp and attach
it to the wall outlet/chimney. If the product shall be turned,
this must be taken into consideration in terms of the length
of the tube
• Make sure to have assistance and lift the product carefully
up.
Mounting the flue pipe
The product is delivered from the factory with the smoke outlet
mounted for top flue outlet. If one wants the pipe to come out
of the rear the following should be done:
• Lift off the top plate
• Lift off the back heat shield (cast iron). This hangs on 3 screws,
two above and one below. See fig. 9.
• Use a ball-pane hammer and knock out the cut-out in the
heat shield from the inside.
• Swap the cover and the smoke outlet (fig. 8) and attach
these.
• Re-attach the rear heat shield (cast iron) by first hanging it
on the top screws. Lift it up slightly and then lower it onto
the lower screw.
• Put the flue pipe into place inside the smoke outlet and seal
tightly with a gasket.
Be aware of the fact that connections must have a certain
flexibility in order to prevent movement in the installation
leading to cracks.
N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
The chimney draught, see «2.0 Technical data». If the draught is
too strong you can install and operate a flue damper to control
the draught.
3.6 Control of functions (fig. 10)
When the product is set up, always check the control functions.
These shall move easily and function satisfactorily.

3.7 Ash removal
Jøtul F 270 has an ash pan which makes it easy to remove the
ashes.
• Only remove ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Push/pull the handle for the ash grate/ignition vent out and in
several times so that the ashes fall down into the ash pan.
• Pull out the ash pan and empty the ash into a non combustible
container.
• Ideally some ash should be left as a protective layer for the
bottom of the fireplace.
For the rest, see description of how to handle ash in the Manual
on general use and maintenance in Point

measures».
