Wood consumption
Jøtul F 600 has a nominal heat output of 9,5 kW. Use of
wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 2,9 kg/h. Another
important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the
logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 30-55 cm
Diameter: 2-5 cm
Amount per fire: 8-10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Recomended length: 35 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8-13cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 75 minutes
Size of the fire: 3,6 kg
Amount per load: 4 pieces
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the airvent is open 50 %.
3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundations
It must be ensured that the foundations are dimensioned for
the fireplace. Cf. «2.0 Technical data» for specification of weight.
It is recommended that flooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called floating flooring – is removed during
installation.
Wooden floor protection
Jøtul F 600 has a heat shield underneath which protects the floor
from radiation. The product can therefore be placed directly on a
wooden floor that is covered by a metal plate or other suitable,
non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0.9 mm.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The floor plates must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
3.2 Walls
Distance to wall made of combustible
material - see fig. 1.
The fireplace is authorised for use with an uninsulated flue
with the distances to the wall of flammable material as shown
in fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a firewall
Firewall requirement
The firewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of brick,
concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and structures
with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
3.3 Ceiling
There must be a minimum distance of 1200 mm to a combustible
ceiling above the fireplace.
3.4 Chimneys and flue pipes
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fired appliances with flue gas
temperatures specified in «2.0 Technical data».
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least equal to
the cross-section of the flue. Please use «2.0 Technical data»
to calculate the correct cross-section of the chimney.
• Several fireplaces can be connected to the same chimney if
the chimney’s cross-section is sufficient.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
