3.0 Safety

NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul

recommends that its stoves are fitted by a qualified installer (see

www.jotul.com for a complete list of dealers).

Any modifications to the product by the distributor, installer

or consumer may result in the product and safety features not

functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of

accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may

also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning

and safety of the fireplace have been disassembled or removed.

In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable

for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null

and void.

3.1 Fire Prevention Measures

There is a certain element of danger every time you use your

fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:

• The minimum safety distances when installing and using the

fireplace are given in fig. 1.

• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not

too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be

placed within 1 metre of the fireplace.

• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with

water.

• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if

touched.

• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain

hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-

flammable container.

• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where

it will not present a potential fire hazard.

In case of chimney fire:

• Close all hatches and vents.

• Keep the firebox door closed.

• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.

• Call the fire service.

• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace

and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

3.2 Floor

Foundation

You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fireplace.

See “1.0 Technical Data” for specified weight.

We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached

to the foundation (“floating floors”) beneath the installation.

Requirements for protection of wooden

flooring beneath the fireplace

The product has integrated floor protection and may therefore

be placed directly on a wooden floor.

Any inflammable floor coverings, such as linoleum, carpets, etc.

must be removed from under the product.

Requirements for protection of inflammable

floors in front of the fireplace

The front plate must comply with national laws and regulations.

Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and

installation requirements.

3.3 Walls

Distance to walls made of combustible material - see fig. 1a for

Jøtul F 471 SHD, F 473 SHD and F 474 SHD. See fig. 1b for Jøtul

F 476 SHD.

Distance to combustible wall protected by firewall: See fig. 1c

for Jøtul F 471 SHD, F 473 SHD and F 474 SHD. See fig. 1d for

Jøtul F 476 SHD.

The fireplace may be used with an uninsulated flue pipe

provided the distances between the fireplace and walls made

of combustible materials are as shown in fig. 1.

Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not too

close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not be placed

within 1000 mm of the fireplace.

NB: Pay particular attention to this when using revolving

pedestal!

3.4 Ceiling

If the ceiling above the fireplace is made of a combustible

material, the minimum distance between the fireplace and

ceiling must be 1000 mm.
