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 properly installed,
a house fire may result. To reduce the risk offire, follow the installation instructions. Failure
to follow these instructions may result inproperty 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 or system.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keepchildren, clothing and furniture away. Contact
will cause skin burns.
• Install smoke detectors in the living areas andbedrooms of your home. Test them regularly andinstall new batteries twice annually.
When installed in the same room as the stove,a smoke detector should be located as far fromthe stove as possible to prevent it from sounding
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 guarantee properchimney performance. Consult your local
Jøtul authorized dealer regarding specificinstallation/performance issues.
• Jøtul recommends that this stove be installed
by a professional solid fuel technician or thatyou consult one if you do the work yourself. Also,
consult your insurance company regarding anyother specific requirements.

Chimney Connector
Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe toconnect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe
must be black iron or stainless steel and have aminimum thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminumor galvanized steel pipe for chimney connection - thesematerials 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. 3.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metalscrews. The connection to the stove flue collar takes
two sheetmetal screws.

2.0 Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul
F 100 USA :1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic
tile or listed steel flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with therequirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL
103 or ULC S629.
The chimney size should not be less than the crosssectional area of the flue collar, and not more than
three times greater than the cross-sectional area ofthe flue collar.
When selecting a chimney type and the location forthe chimney in the house, keep this in mind: It is thechimney that makes the stove work, not the stove thatmakes the chimney work. This is because a chimney
actually creates a suction, called “draft” which pulls air
through the stove.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, crosssectional area (size), and temperature of the chimney,
as well as the proximity of surrounding trees orbuildings.
A short exterior masonry chimney will give the poorest
performance because it will be difficult to warm
the flue and sustain the temperatures necessary tomaintain draft strength. In extremely cold climates, it
may be necessary to reline the chimney or extend theheight 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 from the national code to take
into account climate, altitude, or other factors. Your
local building inspector is the final approving authority.
Consult them prior to installation.

• The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8”
X 8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger than8”X 12” (20 cm x 30 cm). A round fireclay liner musthave a minimum inside diameter of 6” (15 cm) andmaximum inside diameter of 8” (20 cm). A larger
chimney should be relined with an appropriate code
approved liner.
• Brick or modular block must be a minimum of 4” (10cm) 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 aprofessional licensed chimney sweep, fire official, or
code officer to ensure that 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 thebase of the chimney.

Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested andlisted for use with solid fuel burning appliances. High
Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the
U.S. and High Temperature Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada.
The manufacturer’s installation instructions mustbe followed precisely. Always maintain the proper
clearance to combustibles as established by the pipe
manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of2”, although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain
chimney components.

Chimney Height
The chimney must be at least 3 feet (92 cm) higher thanthe highest point where it passes through the roof andat least 2 feet (61 cm) higher than the highest part of
the roof or structure that is within 10 feet (3.05 m) of
the chimney, measured horizontally. See figure 4.

Do not connect the stove to any air distribution ductor system.

Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonrychimney you must conform to all of the following
guidelines:• The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (14mm) 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.

2’
61 cm

10’
305 cmFigure 4. Chimney Height Requirement.

USA/CANADA
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 back puffing (ignitionof gas build-up inside the firebox) and sluggish
performance. The minimum height does not, in itself,
guarantee proper chimney performance.

The opening must be filled with at least 12” (30.5 cm)of brick around a fireclay liner. The liner must be ASTM
C35 or equivalent, having a minimum wall thicknessof 5/8” (16 mm).

Excessive chimney height can promote over-strong
draft resulting in high stove temperatures and shortburn times. Excessive draft can be corrected byinstalling a butterfly damper. Your Jøtul dealer is anexpert resource to consult regarding draft issues orother performance-related questions.

It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers,and construct a sill frame to maintain the proper
dimensions and to support the weight of the brick.

Wall Pass-Throughs
In the U.S.
The National Fire Protection Association’s publication,
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents andSolid Fuel Burning Appliances permits four methods
for passing through a combustible wall. Before
proceeding with any method be sure to consult withyour local building officials to discuss any local code
requirements.
Common Method:
See Figure 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 Pass-through must be at least 18” (45.7 cm) fromcombustible ceiling materials.

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 thechimney and the pass-through liner. The pass-throughliner must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond theinner surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme carewhen constructing the hole in the chimney liner as thetiles can shatter easily.

In Canada
The installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances andEquipment. Before proceeding be sure to consult yourlocal building inspector.
Common Method:
This method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18” (45.7 cm) around thechimney 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
ceiling materials.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials
must remain empty. Sheet metal panels can be used
to cover the area. However, when using a panel onboth sides of the wall, each cover must be installed on
noncombustible spacers at least 1” from the wall. If one
panel of sheet metal is to be used it may be installedflush to the wall.
See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91.
Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul
Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada
for other approved wall pass-through methods.

3.0 Connecting to the
Chimney
Masonry Chimney
When installing a Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonrychimney through a “thimble” (the opening throughthe chimney wall to the flue), the thimble must consistof ceramic tile or steel and be securely cemented inplace.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide
completely inside the thimble to the inner surface or
the flue liner. It may be necessary to make use of athimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly smaller diameter
than standard stove pipe). See figure 6.

Use refractory cement to seal the seam between thechimney connector, sleeve, and thimble.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance of any kind.

Hearthmount into a Masonry Fireplace
The Jøtul F 100 USA may be installed into a masonry
fireplace with a minimum opening height of 22 1/2”
(572 mm).
Building code requires that the fireplace damper plate
be removed or securely fixed in the open position. A
connector pipe must then extend from the stove’s flue
exit through the damper area of the fireplace and into
the chimney tile liner. See figure 7.

8

The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than
the area of the stove flue collar and cannot be morethan three times greater than the cross sectional areaof the stove flue collar.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate thestove, an approved relining system must be installed
to resize the flue.
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper
frame and sealed with the proper sealant (usually
High-Temp Silicone).

USA/CANADA
Prefabricated Chimneys
When connecting the Jøtul F 100 USA to a prefabricatedmetal chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions and be sure to use the components that are
required. This usually includes a “smoke pipe adapter”
that is secured to the bottom section of the metalchimney and allows the chimney pipe to be secured toit with two sheet metal screws. See figure 8.

Floor Protection
The Jøtul F 100 USA requires one of the following formsof hearth protection:
1. Any UL, ULC or WH listed hearth board. (No bottom
heat shield required).
2. Any noncombustible material with use of thebottom heat shield.
All forms of protection must include a noncombustible
surface extending forward from the glass panel at least16” for the U.S., or 18” (46cm) for Canada. Protection
must extend 8” (21 cm) from the sides and rear for both:the U.S. and Canada.
This will result in a minimum floor protection of 37”
W x 38” D for the U.S. or 37” W x 40” D for Canada. See
figure 9.
In a rear vent installation, the floor protection must also
extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (5 cm)
beyond either side of the pipe. See figure 9.

5.0 Operation
Please read the following section before building a firein your new Jøtul F 100 USA.

Use Solid Wood Fuel Only
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only.
Wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14
months will provide the cleanest, most efficient heat.
Do not burn:• Coal• Garbage• Cardboard• Solvents• Drift wood

• Treated or painted wood
• Chemical Chimney cleaners• Colored paper• Any synthetic fuel or logs
• Laminated wood

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

Figure 13. Slide the Air Control Lever to the right to increasecombustion air and to the left to decrease combustion air.

Controls on the Jøtul F 100 USA
Combustion air is controlled by the Primary Air Lever,located above the Loading Door. The lever actuates a
shutter over the air inlet which regulates the volume
of primary air entering the firebox and controls heat
output and burn time. See fig. 13.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primarycontrol lever should be at the far right position, whichallows 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 thestove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output.

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 performancefor your particular needs and installation will best be
established over time through trial and error.

Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 100 USA is constructed of cast iron and hightemperature furnace cement. This type of construction
requires the stove to be “broken-in” gradually so thatheat expansion does not occur too quickly and cause
damage. The following steps describe the proper breakin procedure for the Jøtul F 100 USA. Use a magnetic
stove-top thermometer to monitor stove temperature,
placed directly on the top plate.
1 Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling.
Only allowthe stove 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 amaximum temperature of 300°F (149°C) for 1 hour.
4 Cool the stove to room temperature.
5 Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove toreach a surface temperature of 400°F (204°C)
6 Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the“break-in” procedure.
Note: If the temperature exceeds the limit during any
break-in fire, move the primary air control lever all theway to the left to shut off the air supply completely. It
is normal that the stove top temperature will continue
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. Neverattempt to reduce the temperature by removing
burning logs from the fire.

Breakin Odors: It is normal for a new painted stove toemit odor and smoke during the first few fires. Thisis caused by curing of the high temperature paintand will diminish with each fire. Open a window ordoor to provide additional ventilation to alleviate thiscondition.
Enamel Stove: You may notice moisture condensationon the surface ot he stove during the first few fires.
To avoid permanent spotting of the surface, use a soft
towel to wipe the moisture away.

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.
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open
position (to the right), start with several sheets of
crumbled newspaper placed directly on the grate.
On top of the newspaper, place several pieces ofsmall dry kindling (approx. 1” in diameter) with twoto three larger logs (approx. 3” to 5” in diameter) on
top.
2. Light the fire and close the door, slowly building
the fire by adding larger and larger logs. Be sure tofollow the break-in procedure before creating a hot
fire that might damage the stove.
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 and burn time desired.
We recommend use of a magnetic stove top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperatureof the stove. The optimum surface temperature
range for the most efficient burn is between 400°
and 600° (204°C -316°C).
You can also monitor stove performance throughthe window. Peak combustion efficiency occurs
when exhaust gas is burned at the baffle in the
top of the firebox. This is apparent as yellow
flames appearing at the secondary air ports in theunderside of the baffle plate.

Never overfire the stove. If any part of the stove or
chimney glows, you are overfiring. A house fire orserious damage to the stove or chimney could result.
If this condition occurs, immediately close the aircontrol.

Adding Fuel
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a
bed of hot embers still exist, follow this reloading
procedure:• Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.
• Push the air control lever to the full open position(far right).
• Wait a few seconds before opening the door.
• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hotembers equally around 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 the desired heat output setting. (If you have atleast a 2” thick ember bed when reloading, it may bepossible to close the door and immediately adjust
the air control setting).

Creosote and Soot Formation and
the Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and otherorganic 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 preventa chimney fire, the creosote needs to be removedby sweeping the chimney and flue connector. The
frequency of sweeping will depend on how you operate
your stove, but it is important to inspect the flue after
every two weeks of use. An accumulation of 1/4” ormore on the sides of the flue or connector is consideredhazardous and should be removed.
In the event that creosote in your chimney orflue connector ignites, the resulting fire is often
accompanied by a roaring noise and a crackling soundas 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 the fire department and get everyone safely outof 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 thechimney. When the roaring and crackling has stopped,
you should resist the temptation to open the door andlook 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 flueconnector has been cleaned and inspected to ensurethat no damage has been sustained.

6.0 Maintenance
Ash Removal
Ash removal will be required periodically, depending
on how frequently the stove is used. Avoid letting
the ash accumulate to spill over the Ash Fettle. For
your protection, always wear safety gloves whenhandling the ashes. Use an ash shovel to remove theaccumulation from the bottom of the firebox. The
Fettle may be lifted from the front of the firebox toaid in ash removal.
Ashes should only be placed in a metal container
equipped with a tight sealing lid. The container shouldbe placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be kept in the closed container until all cinders havethoroughly cooled.

Glass Removal or Replacement
The glass may be removed with the door in place.
1. Hold the glass in place while you remove the glass
clips from the inside of the door. Lift the glass panel
off of the two bottom tabs in the door.
2. Center the new glass panel over the gasket andreinstall the glass clips. See figure 14.
3. 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 theglass clips gradually and alternately. Uneven or too
great pressure can damage the glass.

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 foran extended period of time it could eventually cause
the glass to become etched and cloudy. Any creosotethat 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 forthis purpose. The use of abrasives will damage theglass and ultimately leave the glass frosted.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning thestove.
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 with a cracked or broken
glass panel.
Important: Replace glass only with ceramic glass panel
specifically designed for the Jøtul F100. Do not use
substitutes. Replacement glass is available from yourlocal Jøtul dealer.

Chimney System
The Jøtul F 100 is designed to burn cleanly andefficiently when used according to the guidelines in thismanual. In order to maintain proper performance, you
should inspect the chimney and chimney connector at
the beginning of each heating season and then, twicea month during the heating season. Clean the chimney
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 the equipment to ensure a complete
and proper job. Failure to keep the chimney system
free of creosote and build up could result in a serious
chimney fire.

7.0 General Maintenance

8.0 Accessories

As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong
the life of your stove and ensure satisfactory
performance.

Stove-Top Thermometer (# 5002)• Enamel Care:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES.
Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp
cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These
can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit juices will also
cause stains.
• Avoid contact with metal objects. Trivets, kettles, orpots, can damage the enamel.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use avacuum for this job if the vacuum is specificallydesigned for ashes.
• Inspect the stove seams. Use a utility light to inspect
the stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace
all cracked parts and repair any cement leaks with
furnace cement.

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 mostefficient performance is 4000 F - 6000 F (2050 C - 3160 C).

Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)
This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed onstoves using double wall chimney connector toprovide additional protection to combustible materials
from heat radiating from the flue collar of the stove.
The insulating properties of double wall pipe resultin higher flue temperatures in this area than are
generated in single wall connectors.

Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To
check the seal of the front door, close and latch thedoor on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar
bill free. You should feel resistance as you pull. If it canbe easily removed, the seal is too loose. Check several
spots around the door.

Gasket Replacement
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old gasket
from the 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 toseat it in the channel. Close and latch the door andthen reopen. Wipe away any excess cement that
may have squeezed out from around the gasket.
