Check Building Codes

When installing, operating and maintaining thisfireplace insert, follow the guidelines presented
in these instructions, and make them available toanyone using or servicing the stove.

Your city, town, county or province may require abuilding permit to install a solid fuel burning appliance.

In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association’s Code, NFPA 211, Standards for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances,or similar regulations, may apply to the installationof a solid fuel burning appliance in your area. For
further information on using your heater safely,
obtain a copy of the NFPA publication “Using Coaland Wood Stoves Safely,” NFPA No. HS-8-1974. The
address of NFPA is 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA
02210.

In Canada, the guideline is established by the CSA
Standard, CAN/CSA-B365-M93, Installation Code for
Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
Always consult your local building inspector or
authority having jurisdiction to determine whatregulations apply in your area.

Safety Notices• 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 PROPERLYINSTALLED, 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.
• CONTACT THE LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE
OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
YOUR AREA. WHEN NOT ADDRESSED IN THISMANUAL, OR BY LOCAL CODE AUTHORITIES,INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS AND
REQUIREMENTS DEFER TO NFPA 211.

• DO NOT CONNECT THIS FIREPLACE TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM .
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT WILL CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
• NEVER OPERATE THE FIREPLACE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.

• Install smoke detectors in the living areas andbedrooms 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 fromsounding when adding fuel to the fire.
• 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 atmosphericallyvented appliance will not guaranty properchimney performance. Consult your local
Jøtul authorized dealer regarding specificinstallation/performance issues.

Hearth Protection Requirements

The floor area in front of fireplace insert must be
protected from live sparks and radiant heat.

• Materials: Hearth protection must be noncombustible insulating board, having an R value of
2.92 (0.343 K-value) such as Kaowool® 2600 #15
or the equivalent mortared masonry material.
See Appendix A on page 18 for information how
to calculate the R-value of alternative materials.
Alternate protection must composed of materials
as specified by NFPA 211.
• Protected Area: 18” Deep x 40” WideA) Front - The protection must extend at least 18
inches (457 mm) forward from the door opening.
B) Sides - Protection must extend 20 inches(508 mm) to both sides of the centerline of theinsert.

• Note that the firebox may extend out forward of
the fireplace face depending on where the cabinet
sleeve has been set to accommodate flue connection. Always measure hearth protection from thefinal, installed position of the firebox and the door
opening. See figures 9 and 10.

9138344_Rev_D - C450 Kennebec 8.2.10

Chimney Connection

A positive connection must be made between the fireplace insert and the chimney by one of the following
approved methods.
In the U.S:

The insert is connected to a listed stainless steel flexible
connector that extends beyond the chimney flue tile
liner. A sealed block-off plate must be installed at thedamper area of the existing fireplace. See fig. 11.

For internal chimneys, (no sides of the chimney
exposed to the outside below the roofline,) a positive
connection to the first flue tile is acceptable provided thetile is no larger than 8” x 12”. For external chimneys, (oneor more sides are exposed to the outside below the roofline,) a positive connection to the first flue tile is acceptable provided the tile is no larger than 8” x 8”.
A 6”, 7”, or 9” stainless steel liner, extending the fullheight of the chimney, is required for all installations
where the flue tile is greater than 8” x 12” for internalchimneys, or 9” x 8” for external chimneys.

Installation

1. Remove the existing damper and linkage components from the fireplace. Alternatively, you canwire the damper plate to lock it in the open position. Thoroughly clean the firebox and smoke shelfarea with a wire brush.
2. If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate installation, use anchors or masonry nails to
attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate(PN 220508) to the back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily seen should
the insert be removed.

3. Install the Flex Connection plate according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The sealing plate may
require trimming to accommodate your specificfireplace damper.

In Canada:

The insert must be installed with a continuous chimney
liner of 6” (152 mm) diameter extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner
must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULCS635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonryor Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640,
Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
See fig. 11a.

Install the Ashlip Extension
Assembly

The assembly is comprised of a steel Extension Baseand a cast iron Ashlip plate. The procedure is thesame for double door and single door fireboxes.

1. Engage the three spring clips on the Extension
Base with the adjoining cutouts on the firebox
base. Align the clips with these slots and push the
Extension to snap it together with the base of thefirebox base. The clips should slide over the frontedge of the bottom plate to engage with the
cutouts. See fig. 16.
2. The Ashlip plate simply rests on the Extension
Base. Engage the plate under the front doors.

Blower Operation

The two-speed blower will enhance heat circulation
around the firebox and out into the room. The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch (snapstat)that will ONLY function when the control switch is ineither the HI or LOW setting. After the fire has beenburning for a time, the snapstat will react to theheat and activate the blower, if the switch is in the
HI or LOW position. Conversely, the blower will continue to operate until the snapstat cools as the firewanes. The blower will then shut off automatically.
For best performance, do not turn the switch on
until after the fire is well-established.
If the blower is not needed, place the blower
control switch in the OFF position.

Figure 16. Attach the Ashlip Extenstion to the Firebox
base. Be sure that the clips slide OVER the front edgeof the bottom plate, not under it.

Operation

Read the following section carefully before building a firein your Jøtul C 450 Fireplace Insert.

FuelThis stove is designed to burn natural wood ONLY. Woodthat has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months will
provide the cleanest most efficient heat. Frequent useof green or inadequately seasoned wood is conducive tocreosote accumulation and generally poor performance.

DO NOT BURN...
•Coal		

•Treated or painted wood

•Cardboard•Colored paper•Garbage•Solvents

WARNING:OPERATE THIS FIREPLACE INSERT ONLY WITH
THE FRONT DOOR(S) FULLY CLOSED. A PARTIALLY
OPENED DOOR MAY RESULT IN OVER-FIRING. ALSO,
IF DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND FLAME
MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE DOOR OPENING,
CREATING RISKS FROM BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.

Figure 18. Air Flow Diagram.

Air Control

A single lever regulates the Primary Air flow that controls
the intensity of the fire and consequent heat output andburn time. This lever is located on the front of the stove
directly above the ashlip.
When first starting or reviving the fire, the control
lever should be set at the far right position to allow the
maximum amount of air into the stove. See fig. 19. Afterthe fire is well-established, the lever should be set at position to moderate incoming air to maintain the desired
long term heat output and/or burn time.

In general, the more air made available to the fuelwill result in the hottest fire intensity and the fastest fuelconsumption. Alternatively, the less air made available tothe firebox will result in low heat output and slow fuelconsumption.

Starting and Maintaining a Fire

Burn only solid wood directly on the firebrick of thestove. Do not elevate the fire in any way.

1. Set the Air Control Lever in the full open position. 2.
Crumple several sheets of newspaper directly on thefirebrick.

2. Place several pieces of small dry kindling (approximately 1” in diameter) on top of the newspaper, with two to
three small logs (approximately 2” to 3” in diameter)
on top.
3. Light the fire and close the door. Gradually build thefire by adding larger and larger logs as the fire develops a bed of coals.
4. When you have added the final logs, adjust the Air
Control Lever to provide the desired fire intensity.

Experiment with a variety of air control settings todetermine the best one for your individual circumstances. Remember that fuel characteristics, chimney system
condition, building design, and weather conditions all affect the performance of your fireplace insert. In time, youwill discover how these elements combine and how you
can work with them to achieve satisfactory performance.
NEVER OVER-FIRE 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 THISCONDITION OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE AIR
CONTROL.

Creosote Formation

The Jøtul C 450 is designed to burn wood cleanly
and efficiently when operated as described in thismanual. However, when wood is burned slowly andat low temperatures, tar and other organic vapors
are produced which condense on the relatively coolerchimney flue surfaces to form creosote. Failure tokeep the chimney system free of creosote build up
could result in a chimney fire.
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 thechimney flue and connector pipe inspected twice
monthly during frequent use and cleaned wheneveraccumulation of 1/4” or more is evident. A qualified
chimney sweep or other authorized service person
can provide this service.

It is also important to remember that chimney
size, temperature and height all affect draft which inturn affects the formation of creosote. An exteriorchimney, whether masonry or prefabricated steel,will be exposed to cold outside temperatures, andconsequently, will be more prone to creosote accumulation than an interior flue.

A chimney flue located within the home interior
will benefit from the insulating characteristics of thebuilding itself. Consequently, the flue system will beless conducive to condensation of unburned gases
and minimal creosote accumulation will result.

When reloading the stove while a bed of hot embers
still exists, follow this reloading procedure:

As a general rule, try to avoid burning the insert
at the lowest air control settings. Although a low
setting will prolong burn time, it may also result inincomplete combustion. In reducing the fire intensity, draft is weakened and the chimney flue cools. This,
together with the increase in unburned gases, leads
to rapid creosote accumulation.

• Push the Air Control Lever to the full open position(far right).

Break-in Period Ventilation

Adding Fuel to the Fire

• Always wear stove gloves when tending to the fire.

• Wait a few seconds before opening the door. This
allows the renewed air circulation to clear unburnedgases from the firebox.
• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot embers equally around the firebox.
• Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.

It is normal for a new stove to emit odor and possibly
smoke during the first few fires. This is characteristicof the burn-off of residues from the manufacturing
process and the curing of painted surfaces. Open awindow near the fireplace insert to provide plenty offresh air to the room during this “seasoning” period.

• Close the doors and secure the latch.

• Wait 5 – 10 minutes for the fire to re-establish before
adjusting the Air Control Lever for the desired heat
output. If a thick bed of live coals is present, you may
be able to add fuel and immediately set the air control without waiting for the fire to be re-established.

Maintenance

Glass Removal

Ash Removal

Always wear stove gloves when handling ashes.

Ash removal will be required periodically depending on
how frequently the stove is used. Use a steel ash shovel
and metal container with a tight-fitting lid. NEVER USE A
PAPER OR PLASTIC BAG AS AN ASH RECEPTACLE.
The container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If theashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise dispersed, they should be kept in the closed container until
all coals and cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Glass Care

Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously to
avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never use thedoor to push wood into the firebox. If the glass
becomes cracked or broken follow the replacement
procedure below.
IMPORTANT:REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH JØTUL CERAMICGLASS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE
JØTUL C 450 FIREPLACE INSERT:PART #220356 (TWO) - FOR DOUBLE DOORSPART #222991 - FOR THE SINGLE DOOR DO
NOT USE SUBSTITUTES. REPLACEMENTGLASS PANELS CAN BE ORDERED THROUGHYOUR JØTUL DEALER.
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat
surface.

Cleaning

Occasionally it will be necessary to clean the carbon
deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If deposits are allowed to remain on the glass for an extended period oftime, the glass may become etched and cloudy.
Creosote deposits should burn off during the next hot
fire.
1. The Glass must be COMPLETELY COOL.

2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed forthis purpose. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANINGAGENTS, OR THOSE CONTAINING AMMONIA. The useof abrasives will damage the glass, leaving a frosted
surface. Ammonia will etch the glass to the same
effect. Crumpled newspaper is an especially goodcleaning material.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before lighting a fire.
Cast Iron Door

2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the insideof the door. See fig. 20a for Single Door / fig. 20b for
Double Doors.

3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasket.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using
a wire brush.
5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the
new gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket
rope.
6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket andreinstall the glass clips.

7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after
the stove has burned and the gasket has been seated.

General Maintenance

Gaskets• Thoroughly clean the insert. Enamel surfaces
should be cleaned with soap and water.

To check the seal of the front doors, close and latch thedoors on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill
free. The seal is too loose if the bill can be easily removed. Adjust the door latch and test again.

Regular maintenance will assure proper performance and prolong the life of your Jøtul C 450.
The following procedures do not take long and are
generally inexpensive. When done consistently, they
will help increase the life of your fireplace insert
and assure satisfactory performance.

• Empty firebox of all soot and ashes. Never use ahousehold vacuum cleaner to remove ashes. Onlya shop vac with a metal container is acceptableand only when you are certain the ashes are cold.

Check door and glass gaskets for seal integrity.
The gaskets should be soft enough to be somewhat
resilient to the touch. Over time, gaskets will compress
and harden. Replace worn-out or hardened gaskets withthe appropriate size material available from your local
Authorized Jøtul Dealer.

• Inspect the firebox using a utility light inside andout for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked bricks
and repair leaks with furnace cement.

Gasket Replacement

Removing the Insert for Cleaning

1. Remove the old gasket material with a pliers andthoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.

U.S. Direct-connection Only:

1. Lift the Ashlip from the Ashlip Extension.

2. Remove the Ashlip Extension from the firebox bygrasping the sides and pulling it forward to disengage the three clips from their adjacent slots.
3. Remove the Surround Panel assembly by grasping the lower lip of the Breastplates and lifting it
up and off of the firebox cabinet. There are fourtabs that must be disengaged from the hangers
on either side.
4. Remove the three screws that attach the flueconnector to the flue collar, and disengage the itfrom the insert.

See the Parts List on page 21 to order the correct
gasket material.

2. Lay out the new gasket around the channel to determine length. Trim the gasket to leave 1” excess.
2. Apply a small bead of furnace cement in the channel.
3. Lightly press the new gasket into the channel, being careful to avoid compressing or stretching it.
Trim the gasket further as necessary to allow thetail end to slightly overlap the other end.

4. Wait ten minutes to allow the cement to set andthen close and latch the doors. Reopen the doors
and, using a damp cloth, wipe away any excess
cement that may be squeezed out from under thegasket.

5. Pull the firebox and cabinet forward as a unit.
The flue connector, liner, and chimney can now
be inspected and cleaned.
6. See the Installation section of this manual forreassembly procedures.
Canada Installations (Full Reline):

Remove the combustion baffle from the firebox bylifting it up and tilting it back down and out. The
chimney can be swept directly into a bucket placed
under the flue outlet.

Appendix A:
Alternate Floor Protection

All floor protection materials must be non-combustible i.e.. metal, brick, stone, or mineral fiberboards. No
combustible material may be used to protect the floor in
front of the fireplace insert.

Definitions:
Thermal Conductance =
C=
Btu
=
W
		
(Hr)(ft2)(f)(m2)(k)R-value = Thermal ResistanceK-value = Thermal Conductivity
C-value = Thermal Conductance

Thermal Resistance =Follow this procedure to determine if a proposed
alternate floor material meets the requirements listed inthis manual.

1. 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 todetermine overall R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the system is greater than the
R-value of the specified floor protector, the alternate isacceptable.

Example:The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material
with a K-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brickwith a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8 inch mineral board with aK-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 thanrequired, the system is acceptable.
