Burn solid wood fuel only.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Do not burngarbage 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 resultin property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
Contact the local building or fire officials about restrictions
and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Do not connect this stove to any air distribution duct orsystem.
Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Contact will cause skin burns.
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 stoveand chimney system. In some cases, the optional Outside
Air Kit #154335 can be used to alleviate this condition. The
chimney and building, however, always work together as asystem - provision ofoutside air, directly or indirectly to an
atmospherically vented appliance will not guarantee properchimney performance. Consult your local Jøtul authorized
dealer regarding specific installation/performance issues.
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 anyother specific requirements.

1.0 Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed, a housefire may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions.
Contact the local building or fire officials about restrictions andinstallation inspection requirements in your area.
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 inthis manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local codes in the U.S. or in
Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local codes.

1.1 Assembly Before Installation
Unpack the Stove
Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer immediately
if any damage is found. Do not install the stove if any damage
is evident.

1.2 Flue Collar Reversal
The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. If a Rear Exit
position is required, remove the two mounting bolts, and turnthe collar 180 degrees. Secure the collar using the same bolts,
nuts and washers.

1.3 Chimney Connector
Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to connect thestove 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. 2.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal screws.
• For the best performance, the chimney connector should be
as short and direct as possible, including no more than two
90° elbows.
• The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe should notexceed 10 ft. (305 cm). The maximum horizontal run should
not exceed 3 ft. (92 cm) with a 1/4” rise per foot.
• No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or througha floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney connectors
must be accessible for cleaning. Where passage through awall or partition of combustible construction is desired, theinstallation must conform with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365,
and is also addressed in this manual.
• Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing anotherappliance.

2.0 Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul F 400 :1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile orlisted 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 areaof the flue collar, and not more than three times greater than the
cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
When selecting a chimney type and the location for the chimney
in the house, keep this in mind: It is the chimney that makes thestove work, not the stove that makes the chimney work. This isbecause a chimney actually creates a suction, called “draft” whichpulls air through the stove.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-sectional area
(size), and temperature of the chimney, as well as the proximityof surrounding trees or buildings.
A short masonry chimney on the exterior of a house will givethe poorest performance. This is because it can be very difficult
to warm the chimney thereby creating inadequate draft. In
extremely cold climates, it may be necessary to reline the chimney
or extend its 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.
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 fromthe national code to take into account climate, altitude, or otherfactors. Your local building inspector is the final approving
authority. Consult them prior to installation.
Do not connect the stove to any air distribution duct orsystem.

2.1 Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 400 into a masonry chimney you
must conform to all of the following guidelines:• The chimney flue size should not be less than the crosssectional area of the stove flue collar.
• The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with nowalls exposed to the outside below the roofline shall not be
more than three times the crosssectional area of the stove
flue collar.
• The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with one ormore walls exposed to the outside below the roofline shallnot be more than two times the cross-sectional area of thestove flue collar.
• Larger chimney flues should be relined with a listed orcodeapproved liner.
• 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. There must be at least 1/2”
(12.7 mm) air space between the flue liner and chimney wall.
• The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X 8” (20cm 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” (20cm). 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.
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 ensurethat the chimney is in proper working order.
No other appliance may be vented into the same flue.
An airtight clean-out door should be located at the base of
the chimney.

2.2 Prefabricated Chimneys

•
•

•
•

The Pass-through must be at least 18” (45.7 cm) fromcombustible ceiling materials.
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers, andconstruct a sill frame to maintain the proper dimensions andto 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 thechimney liner. Use extreme care when constructing the holein the chimney liner as the tiles can shatter easily.

In Canada

A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested and listed foruse with solid fuel burning appliances. High Temperature (HT)Chimney Standard UL 103 for the U.S. and High TemperatureStandard ULC S-629 for 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.

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 usuallya minimum of 2”, although it may vary by manufacturer or forcertain chimney components.

Common Method:••

2.3 Chimney Height
The chimney must be at least 3 feet (92 cm) higher than thehighest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet
(61 cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure thatis within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the chimney, measured horizontally.
See figure 3.
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 backpuffing (ignition of gas build-up inside the firebox) and sluggish
performance. The minimum height does not, in itself, guarantee
proper chimney performance.

•

This method requires the removal of all combustible materials
from at least 18” (45.7 cm) around the chimney connector’s
proposed location. A 6” round liner requires a minimum
opening 43” x 43” (109.2 x 109.2) square.
Locate the pass-through at least 18” from combustible ceilingmaterials.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials mustremain empty. Sheet metal panels can be used to cover thearea. However, when using a panel on both sides of the wall,
each cover must be installed on noncombustible spacers atleast 1” from the wall. If one panel of sheet metal is to be used
it may be installed flush to the wall.

See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91. Consult yourlocal building inspector, authorized Jøtul Dealer, NFPA 211 in the
U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada for other approved wall passthrough methods.

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 otherperformance-related questions.

2.4 Wall Pass-Throughs
In the U.S.
The National Fire Protection Association’s publication, NFPA
211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid FuelBurning Appliances permits four methods for passing througha combustible wall. Before proceeding with any method be sure
to consult with your local building officials to discuss any local
code requirements.

Common Method:••See figures 4 and 5. Remove all combustible materials fromthe 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.
The opening must be filled with at least 12” (30.5 cm) of
brick around a fireclay liner. The liner must be ASTM C35 orequivalent, having a minimum wall thickness of 5/8” (16 mm).

3.0 Connecting to the
Chimney
3.1 Masonry Chimney
When installing a Jøtul F 400 into a masonry chimney througha “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.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely inside
the thimble to the inner surface of the flue liner. It may benecessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly
smaller diameter than standard stove pipe). See figure 5.

4.0 Clearance to Combustibles
4.1 Floor Protection (For both U.S. andCanada)The Jøtul F 400 requires one of the following three forms ofhearth protection:
1. Any UL, ULC or WH listed hearth board. (No bottom heat shieldrequired).
2. Any noncombustible material that has a minimumR- value of 2.0. (No bottom heat shield required.)
3. Any noncombustible material with the use of the stove’s
bottom heat shield.

The connector pipe or thimble sleeve must not protrude into theflue liner or otherwise restrict draft.

All forms of protection must include a noncombustible surface
extending a minimum of 16” for U.S (460 mm for Canada) in
front of the stove, and 8” (200 mm) from the sides and back of
the stove (measured from side and back panels).

Use refractory cement to seal the seam between the chimney
connector, sleeve, and thimble.

This will result in a minimum floor protection of 42”W X 44”D.
See figure 8.

Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing anotherappliance of any kind.

In a rear vent installation, the floor protection must also extend
under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (50 mm) beyond eitherside of the pipe. See figure 8.

3.2 Hearthmount into a Masonry
Fireplace

Consult appendix A at the back of this section for alternate floor
protection methods and materials.

The Jøtul F 400 may be installed into a masonry fireplaceprovided the height of the opening is a minimum of 29 1/2”. Useof the Short Leg Package will reduce the stove height by 2 1/4”
(57 mm).

4.2 Clearances to Walls and Ceilings

Building code requires that the fireplace damper plate be removed
or securely fixed in the open position. A connector pipe must thenextend from the stove’s flue exit through the damper area of thefireplace and into the chimney tile liner. See figure 6.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the area ofthe stove flue collar and cannot be more than three times greaterthan the cross sectional area of the stove flue collar.

The clearances listed and diagramed in this manual have beentested to UL and ULC standards and are the minimum clearances
to combustible materials specifically established for the Jøtul F
400.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock,wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited tothose that are visible and also include materials that are behind
noncombustible materials.

If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove, anapproved relining system must be installed to resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be installedaround the connector pipe at the damper frame and sealed withthe proper sealant (usually High-Temp Silicone).

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult
your local fire officials.

3.3 Prefabricated Chimneys

Contact your local building officials about restrictions andinstallation requirements in your area.
See pages 8-9 for complete clearance requirements anddiagrams.

When connecting the Jøtul F 400 to a prefabricated metalchimney always follow the pipe manufacture’s instructions andbe sure to use the components that are required. This usually
includes some type of “smoke pipe adapter” that is secured
to the bottom section of the metal chimney and allows thechimney pipe to be secured to it with three sheet metal screws.
See figure 7.

Remember:“Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible;
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also “Fire-rated” sheetrock is also considered combustible.

4.3 Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Chimney Connector Heat Shields: Use only connector heatshielding listed for use with solid fuel heaters. The connector
heat shield must begin 1” above the lowest exposed point of theconnector pipe and extend vertically a minimum of 25” (640 cm)
above the top surface of the stove.
Double Wall Connector: Listed double wall pipe is an acceptable
alternative to connector pipe heat shields.

6USA/Canada
Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances throughthe use of wall mounted protection:••

In the U.S. refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for acceptablematerials, proper sizing and construction guidelines.
In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for SolidFuel Burning Appliances and Equipment, also for acceptablematerials, proper sizing and construction guidelines.

Stove Mounted Heat shield: Rear Heat Shield #154385 is approved
for use with the Jøtul F 400 in the US. and Canada. No other heatshield may be used.
Notice: Many manufacturers have developed woodstoveaccessories that permit clearance reduction. Use only thoseaccessories 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.

4.4 Alcove Installation
The Jøtul F 400 can be installed in an Alcove as diagrammed infigures 9 and 10.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall pipe.
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls and rearwall 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 behindthe shield.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom air
space must be 48” (121 cm).
4. The Bottom Heat Shield is required in all Alcove
installations.
5. Alcove floor protection must consist of a UL/ULC or WHI listed
hearth pad or a non combustible material with a minimum
R value of 2.0.
6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation, off the
top of the stove is 58”(148 cm). The minimum ceiling heightoff the top of the stove in a protected ceiling installation is36 (91.5 cm).

4.5 Mobile Home Installation
The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use in mobile homes in
the U.S. and Canada with the following stipulations:
1. The stove must be secured to the floor of the mobile home.
Use Floor Bracket Kit #750304.
2. The stove is provided outside air for combustion. Outside Air
Kit #154335 (see page 16 for more details).
3. Use only listed double-wall pipe for the chimney
connection.
4. The stove must be grounded to the mobile home chassis.
5. The stove must otherwise be installed in accordance to 24CRR,
Part 3280 (HUD).
Consult with your local building inspector or fire officials about
restrictions and requirements in your area, prior to installingthe stove.
Warning!
Do not install this stove in a bedroom/sleeping room. Do notinstall the stove in any way that might compromise the structural
integrity of the mobile home floor, walls, ceiling, or roof.

5.0 Operation
Please read the following section completely, before building afire in your new Jøtul F 400 .

5.1 Use Solid Wood Fuel Only
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Wood thathas been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will provide thecleanest, most efficient heat.
Do not burn:*Coal*Garbage*Cardboard*Solvents*Treated or painted wood
*Chemical Chimney cleaners*Colored paper*Any synthetic fuel or logs

The burning of any of these materials can result in the releaseof toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or“freshen-up” the fire. Always keep such liquids away from theheater at all times.
Important: Never build or allow the fire to rest directly on theglass panel. The logs should always be spaced at least one inch
from the glass to allow for proper air flow within the firebox.

5.2 Controls on the Jøtul F 400
Combustion air is controlled by the Primary Air Lever, locatedabove the ashlip on the front of the stove. The lever actuates a
shutter over the air inlet which regulates the volume of primary
air entering the firebox and affects heat output and burn time.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary control levershould 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. Moving
the lever to the left reduces the airflow into the stove which
prolongs the fire at a lower heat output. See figure 11.

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 yourparticular needs and installation will only be established overtime through trial and error.

5.3 Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 400 is constructed of cast iron and stove 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 theproper break-in procedure for the Jøtul F 400 :1. Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling. Only allow thestove to reach a maximum surface temperature of 200°F (93°
C). Burn for approximately 1 hour.
2. Allow the stove to cool to room temperature.
3. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a maximum
temperature of 300°F (149°C) for 1 hour.
4. Cool the stove to room temperature.

7USA/Canada
5. Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach asurface temperature of 400°F (204°C).
6. Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the “break-in”
procedure.
To monitor the stove’s temperature, use a magnetic stove-top
thermometer, placed directly on the corner of the stove’s top
plate.
Note: Keep the stove under 400°F (204°C) surface temperatureduring any “break-in fire”, with the exception of the last “breakin” fire. If the temperature exceeds 400°F, 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 willcontinue to climb until the fuel burns down somewhat. Oncethe fire is out and the stove has cooled to room temperature,continue the break-in procedure. Never attempt to reduce thetemperature by removing burning logs from the fire.
Note: It is normal for a new painted stove to emit an odor andsmoke during its first several fires. This is caused by the seasoningof the high temperature paint and will diminish with each fire.
Opening a window or door to provide additional ventilation will
alleviate this condition.

5.4 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 ash pan door on the stove must always be securely closed
when the stove is in operation.
• Burning the stove with the Ash Door open will over-fire thestove and cause interior damage.
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open position (tothe 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 byadding larger and larger logs. Be sure to follow the break-in
procedure before creating a hot fire that might damage thestove.
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 andburn time desired.
Jøtul recommends use of a magnetic stove top thermometer
to monitor the surface temperature of the stove. The
optimum surface temperature range for the most efficientburn is between 400° and 600° (204°C -316°C).
See figure 12 for the best locations to place a stove-top
thermometer.
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
down the air control.
•

5.5 Adding Fuel
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed of hotembers still exist, follow this reloading procedure:• Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.
• Push the air control lever to the full open position (farright).
• Wait a few seconds before opening the door.
• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot embers equallyaround 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 thedesired heat output setting. (If you have at least a 2” thickember bed when reloading, it may be possible to close thedoor and immediately adjust the air control setting).

Creosote and Soot Formation and the Needfor Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
These creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney
flue of a slow burning fire. The creosote that accumulates in
the flue is highly flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires.
To prevent a chimney fire, the creosote needs to be removedby sweeping the chimney and flue connector. The frequency ofsweeping will depend on how you operate your stove, but it isimportant to inspect the flue after every two weeks of use. An
accumulation of 1/4” or more on the sides of the flue or connector
is considered hazardous and should be removed.
In the event that creosote in your chimney or flue connector
ignites, the resulting fire is often accompanied by a roaring noise
and a crackling sound as flakes of burned creosote break loose. lf
you suspect you are having a chimney fire, immediately close thedraft regulator and make sure the stove door is closed. Call thefire department and get everyone safely out of the house.
Trying to extinguish the fire in the stove will not help. In fact it
can make the matter worse by allowing oxygen through the door,
which then supports the fire in the chimney. When the roaring
and crackling has stopped, you should resist the temptation to
open the door and look at the fire. The fire may have suffocated,but could rekindle when you open the door. After a chimney fire,
do not use your stove until the chimney and the flue connector
has been cleaned and inspected to ensure that no damage has
been sustained.

6.0 MaintenanceAs with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the life ofyour stove and ensure satisfactory performance.

6.1 Annual Stove Inspection•

Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum forthis job if the vacuum is specifically designed for ashes.

•

Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect the stove
inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked partsand repair any cement leaks with furnace cement.

6.2 Chimney System
Your stove is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently whenused according to the guidelines in this manual. In order tomaintain proper performance, you should inspect the chimney
and chimney connector at the beginning of each heating season
and then, twice a month during the heating season. Clean thechimney whenever creosote and fly ash accumulation exceeds
1/4 inch in any part of the system.
Chimney brushes are available from your local Jøtul dealer
or hardware supply store. Your dealer can also refer you to a
reputable, professional chimney sweep who will have all theequipment to ensure a complete and proper job. Failure to keep
the chimney system free of creosote could result in a damaging
chimney fire.

6.3 Ash Removal
For your protection always wear safety gloves when handlingthe ash pan.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. The Jøtul F 400 is equipped with an
exterior ash pan assembly that allows easy ash removal without
opening the front door.
The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of the stove.
To open the ash door, rotate the door knob counterclockwise tounlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door.
With a gloved hand, grasp the ash pan handle and remove theash pan. Always close the ash pan door before leaving to disposeof the ashes.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container equippedwith a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on anoncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes aredisposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, theyshould be retained in the closed container until all cinders havethoroughly cooled.

6.4 Enamel Care
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp clothand polish with a clean dry cloth. Most stains can beremoved with a solution of baking soda and vinegar. Let
this solution sit on the stain for a minute or two before
rubbing it dry with a damp cloth. Organic cleaning
commercial cleaning solutions, such as Citra-Solv®, canalso be effective.
• DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These
can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit jucies will also
cause stains.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH METAL OBJECTS. Trivets,
ke t t l e s, o r p o t s, c a n d a m a g e t h e e n a m e l .

6.5 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.
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 witha cracked or broken glass panel.
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel specificallydesigned for the Jøtul F 400 . Do not use substitutes. Replacement
glass is available from your local Jøtul dealer.

9USA/Canada
6.6 Glass Removal
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.
2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of thedoor.
3. Gently remove the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Using a wire brush, remove all remaining debris from theglass area .
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the newgasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and reinstall theglass clips. See figure 13.
7. 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
slowly and in an alternating pattern as you would tighten thelugs on an automobile wheel.
•

7.0 Accessories
Use only accessories that are specifically designed for use with
the Jøtul F 400.

7.1 Firescreen (# 129650)
The Jøtul F 400 has been approved for use as an open fireplace,with front door open. Care should be taken when operating thestove as a fireplace.
•••

6.7 Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To check theseal of the front door, close and latch the door on a dollar bill andslowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it can be easily removed,
the seal is too loose. Check several spots around the door, andrepeat the procedure on the ash pan door as well.

Gasket Replacement1.

Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket fromthe 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 thechannel. Close and latch the door and then reopen. Wipe any
excess cement squeezed out from around the gasket.

Always have the Firescreen in place, attached to the stove
front.
Never overload the stove. For the best appearance, burn logs
in the traditional three log configuration.
When you operate the stove with the screen in place,efficiency is sacrificed for the sake of aesthetics, much as witha conventional fireplace. Wood will burn at a much faster rate
as combustion air is uncontrolled. Most of the heat value ofthe wood will be lost up the chimney.
Not all installations will support the use of the firescreen.
Moderate or low draft conditions may result in smoke spillage
from the stove when using the firescreen.

Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 400 with the front door fully open
and the firescreen in place or fully closed. A partially opened door
may result in overfiring. Also, if the door are left partly open,
gas and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening, creating
risks from both fire and smoke.

7.2 Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)
Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top thermometer
to monitor the surface temperature of the stove. The optimum
surface temperature range for the most efficient, clean burn is
between 400° and 600°.

7.3 Outside Air Kit (# 154335)
Your local building code may require that an outside air supply beconnected to the stove. Jøtul Outside Air Kit 154335 must be usedin these installations unless otherwise specified by the local code
official. While the use of outside air may be beneficial in someinstallations, in itself, such a system does not guarantee properchimney performance.
The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter collar to attach the
air duct to the stove. Installation will require these additional
materials not included in the kit:
1.

3” (80 mm) diameter flexible metallic Air Duct - of appropriate
length to reach from the stove to the outside of the house.
2. Weatherproof Duct Cap for the duct termination on theoutside of the house.
3. Rodent Screen - no larger than 1/4” (5 mm) mesh.

10USA/Canada
Outside air should be considered if:
1. The stove does not “draw” steadily. Smoke rollout occurs when
the door are opened. Fuel burns poorly. Backdrafts occur withor without a fire burning.
2. Other fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces
or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft whether or
not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates
any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier andtight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices thatexhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on the windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.

7.6 Bottom Heat Shield (# 154384)
The bottom heat shield supplied with your stove has been
specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 . It is required in all alcove
installations. Use of the bottom heat shield does not affect thefloor protection requirements described on page 6 of this manual.
No other type of heat shield may be used on the bottom of the
Jøtul F 400.

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air isinadequate to supply sufficient air for the stove, additional
combustion air should be provided from the outdoor. Outside
combustion air can be provided to the appliance by the followingmeans:
Direct connection: The Jøtul F 400 has been tested andapproved for use with the outside air kit listed above.
2. Indirect method: Outside air is ducted to a point no closer
than (12”) 300 mm from the stove, to avoid affecting theperformance of the appliance.
3. A mechanical ventilation system: If the house has a ventilation
system (air change or heat recovery):a. The ventilation system may be able to provide sufficient
combustion makeup air for the solid-fuel appliance.
b. The homeowner should be informed that the ventilation
system might need to be rebalanced by a ventilation
technician after installation of the appliance.
1.

Note: Provision of outside air to the stove, directly or indireclty,
may fail to remedy the problems outlined above. Chimney
performance is determined by a variety of interelating factors
which may not be affected by the air supply. Your local Jøtul
authorized dealer is your best resource for information regarding
chimney and stove performance issues.

7.4 Floor Bracket Kit (# 750304)
Use of the Floor Bracket Kit is required in all mobile homeinstallations to secure the stove to the floor. Complete installation
instructions and diagrams are supplied with each Floor Bracket
Kit.

7.5 Rear Heat Shield (# 154385)
A stove rear heat shield has been specifically designed for the Jøtul
F 400 to reduce clearances off the rear of the stove to combustible
materials. Use of the heat shield does not affect the clearance off
the sides of the appliance. See pages 8-9 for specific clearance
requirements. Complete installation instructions are suppliedwith the heat shield.
No other type of heat shield may be used on the rear of the Jøtul
F 400.

The easiest means of determining if a proposed alternate floor
material meets requirements listed in this manual is to follow
this procedure.
R-value = thermal resistancek-value = thermal conductivity
C-value = thermal conductance1.

Convert the specification to R-value;
a. If R-value is given, no conversion is needed.
b. If k-value is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
R=1/k X T.
c. If C-value is given: R=1/C.
2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
a. Use the formula in Step 1 to convert values not expressed
as “R”.
b. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine
overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the sustem is greater than the R-valueof the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.
Example:The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with ak-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factorof 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.
Step A. Use formula above to convert specifications to R-value.
R=1/k X T= 1/.84 X .75 = .893
Step B. Calculate R of proposed system.
•
4” brick of C-1.25, therefore•
R brick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80.
•
1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29 therefore•
R mineral board = 1/.29 X 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = R brick + R mineral board=
0.8 + 0.431=1.231
Step C. Compare proposed system R = 1.231 to specified R of 0.893.
Since R is greater than required, the system is acceptable.
Definitions:
Thermal conductance =C=
Btu=(hr)(ft2)(F)W(m2)(K)

Thermal conductivity =k = Btu=(hr)(ft2)(F)W= (Btu)(m2)(K)(hr)(ft)(F)
