Safety notices:

Safety Notices .......................................................................................4•

Be sure to read this entire manual before you install or use
your new Jøtul F 500 woodstove.

•

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 even death.

•

Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul F 500
installed by a professional installer of solid fuel burning
appliances.

•

Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children, clothing andfurniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

•

Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room where
the stove is operating. Operating an exhaust fan or a clothes
dryer could create a low pressure area, causing poisonous
gases to come out of the stove into the room.

•

You can prevent low pressure conditions by providing
adequate combustion air within 24” (610mm) but not closer
than 12” (305mm) from the stove. Or, simply install theoptional outside air manifold system, which allows the directconnection of air from outside the house to the stove.

•

Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire. Some fuels will,
during combustion, separate carbon monoxide and generate
it in the burn chamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic, so please
follow the guidelines in this manual for proper operation ofyour Jøtul F 500.

•

If you for some reason experience smoke “roll-out” fromthe stove, it may activate smoke detectors if installed in thehouse.

1.0 Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed a house fire
may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions.
Contact the local building or fire officials about restrictions andinstallation inspection requirements in your area.
Reminder:Your local officials have final authority in determining if a
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement, that isrequested by the local authority having jurisdiction, that is not
specifically addressed in this manual, defaults to NFPA 211, andlocal codes in the U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M and local
codes.

1.1 Assembly before Installation
The Jøtul F 500 is shipped with the flue collar, gasketing andhardware inside the stove.
• To install the flue collar in the top or rear exit position remove
the tape from the gasketing and adhere to the groove on theback of the stove around the flue opening.
• Place the flue collar on the stove in the top or rear exit positionand secure with the nut, bolt and washer.
• The nut and washer are placed on the inside of the stove.
• Take out the ash lips, which are inside the burn chamber, andinstall. The one in front is placed loosely on top of the baseplate, while the side ash lip is fastened with the screw thatis attached to the base plate.

2.0 Chimney and Chimney
Connector
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used
to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the
Jøtul F 500, the chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) indiameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel.
• Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use
with the Jøtul F 500. These materials cannot withstand theextreme temperatures of a wood fire and can give off toxic
fumes when heated.
• Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
• Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must be
installed to the stove flue collar and to each other with themale (crimped) end toward the stove. See figure 2.
• This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote
from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.
• All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured
with three sheet metal screws.
• For the best performance the chimney connector should be
as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°
elbows.
• The maximum horizontal run is 36”(915mm) and a recommended
total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet.
• Always slope horizontal runs upward 1/4” (6,35mm) per foottoward the chimney.
• No part of the chimney connector may pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through afloor or ceiling.
• All sections of the chimney connectors must be accessible forcleaning.
• Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with
NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed in thismanual.
• Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing anotherappliance.

2.1 Chimneys
T h e re a re t w o t y p e s o f c h i m n ey s s u i t a b l e fo r t h e
Jøtul F 500:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a 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.
As a result, a short masonry chimney on the exterior of a housewill give the poorest performance. This is because it can be very
difficult to warm the chimney thereby creating inadequate draft.
In extremely cold northern areas it may be necessary to reline thechimney or extend its height to help establish draft.
Conversely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house is easier tokeep warm and will perform the best.

5USA/CANADA
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney requirements
based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211for the US. And CSA
CAN-B365 for Canada). However, many local codes differ fromthe national code to take into account climate, altitude, or otherfactors.

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” (56mm), although it may vary by manufacturer
or for certain chimney components.

Notice:2.4 Chimney Height

It is important that you check with your local building officials
to find out what codes apply in your area before installing your
new Jøtul F 500.
Remember: Your local inspector(s) have the final authority inapproving your installation. It is always best to consult with themprior to the installation.

2.2 Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 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 no walls
exposed to the outside below the roofline shall not be morethan three times the cross-sectional 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 or code
approved liner.
The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or equivalent,with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be
installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least 1/4”
(6,35mm) air space between the flue liner and chimneywall.
The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X 8”, andshould not be larger than 8” X 12”. If a round fireclay liner is
to be used it must have a minimum inside diameter of 6”(157mm) and not larger than 8” (208mm) in diameter.
If a chimney with larger dimensions is to be used, it should
be relined with an appropriate liner that is code approved.
The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block,must be a minimum of 4”(106mm) nominal thickness. A
mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12” (310mm)
thick.
A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes and intheir absence must recognize national regulations. W h e nusing an existing chimney, it must be inspected by a licensed
professional chimney sweep, fire official, or code officer, toensure that the chimney is in proper working order.
No other appliance can be vented into the same flue.
An airtight clean-out door should be located at the base of
the chimney.

2.3 Prefabricated Chimneys
If a prefabricated metal chimney is to be used it must be achimney type that is tested and listed for use with solid fuelburning appliances.
That means a chimney that is tested to the following:High Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the U.S. andHigh Temperature Standard ULC S-629 for Canada.

6

Whether a masonry chimney or prefabricated metal chimney isused it must be the required height above the roof line.
The requirement is:
The chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point
where it passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher thanthe highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 feet ofthe chimney, measured horizontally. See figure 3.
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet may not provide adequate draft.
This could result in smoke spilling into the room from the stove
when loading the stove, or when the door is open. In addition,
inadequate draft can cause back puffing, which is a build up ofgases inside the firebox.
Other times, chimney height can create excessive draft which cancause high stove temperatures and short burn times. Excessivedrafts can be corrected by installing a butterfly damper. If you
suspect you have a draft problem, consult your dealer.

2.5 Wall Pass-throughs
When your installation unavoidably requires the chimney
connector to pass through a combustible wall to reach thechimney, always consult your local building officials, and be sure
any materials to be used have been tested and listed for wallpass-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:• When passing through a combustible wall to a masonrychimney this method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 12” (310mm) around the chimney
connectors proposed location. With a 6” (157mm)round liner
the minimum area required would be 31” x 31” (792x792mm)
square.
• The space is then filled with at least 12” (310mm)of brick arounda fireclay liner. Remember, the liner must be ASTM C35 orequivalent, with a minimum wall thickness of 5/8” (16mm).
• It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at
least 18”(457mm) from the ceiling for proper clearance to
combustibles.
• 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 1/4 “ (83mm) thick (4” (106mm) nominal).
• 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, the tiles can shatter easily. See figure 4.

USA/CANADAIn Canada
In Canada the standard has been established by the CanadianStandard Association. The installation must conform to CAN/
CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliancesand Equipment. Before proceeding be sure to consult your local
building inspector.

3.0 Connecting to thechimney
3.1 Masonry Chimney Thimbles

Common Method:
This method requires the removal of all combustible materials
from at least 18” (457mm) around the chimney connector’s
proposed location. With a 6” (157mm) round liner the minimum
area required would be 43” x 43” square (1092x1092mm).

When installing a Jøtul F 500 into a masonry chimney through a“thimble”(the opening through the chimney wall to the flue), thethimble must be lined with ceramic tile or metal and be securely
cemented in place.

It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at least18” (457mm) from the ceiling to maintain the proper clearance
to combustibles.

The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely inside
the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It may benecessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly
smaller diameter than standard stove pipe). This special pipe canbe easily installed into a thimble. See figure 5.

The space that is cleared of combustible materials must thenremain empty. Sheet metal panels can then be used to cover
the area. However, when using a panel on both sides of the wall
each cover must be installed on noncombustible spacers at least1”(25,4mm) 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 your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul Dealer,
NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada for otherapproved wall pass-through methods.

Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does not protrude
into the flue liner, thereby restricting the area the smoke has toflow through. This bottle-neck will have a negative affect on thechimney system.
The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble withrefractory cement and the stove pipe leading to the stove shouldhave a minimum of three screws.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing anotherappliance of any kind.

3.2 Hearthmount Into a Masonry Fireplace
The Jøtul F 500 has a rear exit flue collar height of 28 1/4” (718mm) when installed with standard legs. Substitution of Short
Legs will lower the height to 26” (660 mm).
When installing the Jøtul F 500 into a masonry fireplace, 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 fireplaceand into the chimney tile liner. See figure 6.
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the area ofthe stove’s flue exit, and cannot be more than three times greaterthan the cross sectional area of the stove’s flue exit.
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).
Fireplace installation must also observe the proper clearances tosurrounding trim and mantels (addressed in clearance section ofthis manual). In addition, fireplace installations must also adhere
to the floor protection guidelines specified in the following
section.

3.3 Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 to a prefabricated metal chimney
always follow the pipe manufacture’s instructions and be 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 the chimney pipe tobe secured to it with three sheet metal screws. See figure 7.

USA/CANADA

4.0 Clearances to
Combustibles
4.1 Floor Protection
Floor protection under the stove must be a UL 1618 Type I Ember
Protector composed of non-combustible material for protection
from radiant heat, sparks, and embers.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared
together to prevent sparks from falling through to combustible
materials. Any carpeting must be removed from under the floor
protection.

In the U.S. and Canada
The Jøtul F 500 must be installed on a non-combustible surface
extending:A minimum of 18” (457mm) in front of the stove and the left sideload door (measured from the legs).
And 8” (200mm) on the right side and back of the stove (measured
from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
54,25”W X 50,5”D.(1378mm x 1283mm) See figure 8.
In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also extend
under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (50mm) beyond eitherside of the pipe.
Alternate hearth protection
A hear th pad measuring 46”wide X 50,5” deep
(1168mmx1283mm)can be used only if the left side door is locked toprevent use. Door Lock Kit #155850 is available for this purpose.

4.2 Clearances to Walls and Ceilings
The following clearances have been tested to UL and ULC
standards and are the minimum clearances specificallyestablished for the Jøtul F 500.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you must
maintain when installing the Jøtul F 500 near combustible
surfaces. See pages 17-18.
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
non-combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult
your local fire officials. Contact your local building officials about
restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible;
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also “Fire-rated” sheetrock is also considered combustible.

8

Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce theconnector clearance to combustibles, it must start 1”(25,4mm)above the lowest exposed point of the connect pipe and extend
vertically a minimum of 25” (635mm) above the top surface ofthe stove.
Double wall pipe: Listed double wall pipe is an acceptable
alternative to connector pipe heatshields.
Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances through theuse of wall mounted protection:
In the U.S. refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for acceptable materials,
proper sizing and construction guidelines.
In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-FuelBurning Appliances and Equipment, also for acceptable materials,
proper sizing and construction guidelines.
Stove Mounted Heatshield: A stove rear heatshield has been
specifically designed for the Jøtul F 500.
Rear heatshield part # 154332.
No other heat shield may be used.
See pages 17-18 for complete clearance requirements anddiagrams.
NoticeAccessories for wood stoves for clearance reduction have beendeveloped by many manufacturers. If not following the methodsof the installation codes, be sure that any accessory you choose
has been tested by an independent laboratory and carries
the laboratory’s testing mark. Make sure to follow all of the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Always contact your local building inspector or fire officials
about restriction and requirements in your area. Reminder,
it is the local officials who have final authority for the
installation approval.

4.3 Alcove Installation
The Jøtul F 500 can be installed in an alcove situation provided:
See figures 9 and 10.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double walled pipe.
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls and rear wall
must be protected per NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365. The wall
protection must be elevated 1”(24,5mm) from the floor andat least 1” (24,5mm)off the combustible wall to allow for an
air-flow.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom air
space must be 48”(1219mm).
4. The bottom heatshield is required in all alcove installations.
5. H e a r t h p r o t e c t i o n m a t e r i a l m u s t c o n s i s t o f :a) a UL/ULC listed Type II Thermal Floor Protector or,b) material having a minimum r value of 1.6 (see appendix a).
6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation, off the
top of the stove is 41”(1041 mm). The minimum ceiling heightoff the top of the stove in a protected ceiling installation is15”(380mm).
Use of the left side load door is prohibited in alcove installations.

USA/CANADA
4.4 Mobile Home Installations
The Jøtul F 500 has been approved for use in mobile homes in
the U.S. and Canada, provided:
The stove is secured to the floor or the mobile home. Floor
mounting kit #750304.
2. The stove is provided outside air for combustion. Outside Air
kit #154333 (see page 11 for more details)
3. The stove must be grounded to the mobile home frame per
NFPA 70.

5.0 Operation
Before building a fire in your new Jøtul F 500, please read thefollowing section carefully and completely.

1.

As always, consult with your local building inspector or fire officials
about restrictions and requirements in your area prior to installingthe stove.

WARNING:
Do not install in a bedroom/sleeping room. The structural
integrity of the mobile home’s floor, wall, ceiling/roof must be
maintained.

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 the glass. The logs
should always be spaced at least one inch from the glass to allow
for proper air flow within the stove.

5.1 Controls on The Jøtul F 500
A single air control lever controls the burn time and heat output of
the stove. This primary air control lever is located on the front of
the stove directly above the ashlip. The primary air lever controls
the amount of air that enters the stove for combustion.
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 more air entering the stove, the hotter the fire, the shorterthe burn time. Moving the lever to the left reduces the air-flow
into the stove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output.
See figure 11.

5.2 Breaking in Your New StoveYour new Jøtul F 500 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.
Complete the following steps for the proper break-in procedure
for the Jøtul F 500:
To monitor the stove’s temperature, Jøtul recommends the use ofa magnetic stove-top thermometer, placed directly on the cornerof the stove’s top plate.
1.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only, only allow
the stove to reach a maximum surface temperature of 200°.
Burn for approximately1 hour.
Allow stove to cool to room temperature.
Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a maximum
temperature of 300° for 1 hour.
Cool the stove to room temperature.
Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach asurface temperature of 400°
Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the “break-in”
procedure.

9USA/CANADA
Never allow the stove to exceed a 400° surface temperatureduring any “break-in fire” with the exception of the last “breakin” fire.
Note: It is normal for a new painted stove to emit an odor andeven smoke during its first several fires. This is caused by theseasoning of the high temperature paint and will diminish witheach fire and will eventually disappear. Opening a window ordoor to provide additional ventilation will reduce the odor as
this process takes its course.

5.3 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 pan door open will overfire
the stove and cause interior damage.
• With the primary air control lever in the full open position,
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”(24,5mm) in diameter)with two to three larger logs (approx. 3”(76mm) to 5”(127mm)
in diameter) on top.
• 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 fire that will damage the stove.
• Once the stove has reached a surface temperature range of
between 400° and 600°, adjust the primary air control leveras necessary to generate the heat output and burn timedesired.
• Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove top
thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of thestove. The optimum surface temperature range for the mostefficient burn is between 400° to 600°. See figure 12, for the
optimum locations of a stove-top thermometer.

5.4 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”(50mm)
thick ember bed when reloading, it may be possible to closethe door and immediately adjust the air control setting).

5.5 The Formation of Creosote
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 MaintenanceFor your protection always wear safety gloves when handlingthe ash pan.

6.1 Ash removal
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F 500 is
equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy ash removal, without
the need for opening the front doors.
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.
Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation always close
the ash door before leaving to dispose of 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. Only use a vacuum for this job if the vacuumis specifically designed for ashes.

Warning. Do not, at any time, operate this stove with the ash
pan door open. This condition will lead to overfiring and will
damage the stove. This damage is not covered under warranty.
Only empty the ash drawer before refueling, when the fire is low
or out. The ash door should be open only long enough to empty
the ash drawer and then securely closed. Inspect the gasket on
the ash pan door regularly and replace as necessary.

6.2 Glass Care

2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside of thedoor.
3. Gently remove all pieces of the glass panel and gasketing.
4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using a wirebrush.
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.
Important: It is extremely important to tighten the glass clips
slowly and in a repeating pattern, like tightening the lugs on an
automobile wheel.
It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after the stove
has burned and the gasketing has been seated.
Important:
Replace glass only with a ceramic glass panel specifically designed
for the Jøtul F 500. Do not use substitutes. Replacement glass
panels can be ordered through your Jøtul dealer.

6.3 Chimney System
The Jøtul F 500 is designed to burn cleanly and efficiently
when used according to the guidelines in this manual. In
order to maintain proper performance, you should inspect
the chimney and chimney connector at the beginning ofeach heating season and then, twice a month during theheating season. Clean the chimney whenever creosote
and fly ash accumulation exceeds 1/4 inch in any part ofthe 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 and build up could result ina serious chimney fire.

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, which might deposit on the glass, should burn off
during the next hot fire.
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Glass needs to be completely cool.
2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for cleaning
ceramic stove glass. DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASEDCLEANING SOLUTIONS. USE OF ABRASIVES WILL DAMAGE THE
GLASS SURFACE.
3. Rinse and dry glass completely before burning your stove.
Never operate the stove with a cracked or broken glass panel.

Glass removal:
Always operate the doors slowly and cautiously 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 thisprocedure for replacement:
1.

Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.

7.0 General maintenance

8.0 Accessories

Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life of your stove.
The following procedures do not take long and are generally
inexpensive, but when done consistently, increase the life of yourstove and in turn, increase your years of enjoyment.

Many accessories have been manufactured for use with the Jøtul
F 500. Only use accessories that are specifically designed for the
Jøtul F 500.

Enamel Care:••DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SURFACES. Clean
only cold enamel surfaces with a soft damp cloth and polishwith a clean dry cloth.
DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS. These can cause
stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit juices will also cause stains. Manystains can be removed with a solution of baking soda andvinegar, or organic commercial products such as Citra-Solv®.
Avoid contact with metal objects. Trivets, kettles, or pots, candamage the enamel.

7.1 Gaskets
Check door and window gaskets for tightness.
To check the seal of the front doors, close and latch the doors
on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it canbe easily removed then the seal is too loose. Check several spots
around the door, and repeat the procedure on the ash pan door
as well.
••••If gaskets need to be replaced, scrape out the old gasket andcement and clean the area with a wire brush.
Apply a small bead of cement and push in the new gasket.
After closing and latching the doors wipe clean any excessive
cement that has come from beneath the gasketing.
Inspect the stove: Using a strong light inspect the stove insideand out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked parts and repair
any cement leaks with furnace cement.

8.1 Firescreen 129172
The Jøtul F 500 has been approved for use as an open fireplace,with front doors open. This feature is especially nice when theambience of a fire is desired. Some care should be taken when
operating the stove as a fireplace.
• Always have the firescreen in place, attached to the stove
front.
• Never over load the stove: For the best appearance burn inthe traditional three log configuration.
• Reminder, when burning the stove with the screen in place,
you are sacrificing efficiency for aesthetics, and you will be
consuming wood at a much faster rate.
Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 500 with the front doors fully open
and the firescreen in place or fully closed. Partially opened doors
may result in overfiring. Also, if doors are left partly open, gas
and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening, creating risks
from both fire and smoke.

8.2 Outside Air Kit 154335
In certain installations it may be necessary to provide outside
air to your Jøtul F 500 wood stove. Guidelines to determine theneed for additional combustion air may not be adequate for every
situation. If in doubt, it is advisable to provide additional air.
The outside air kit includes an adapter to mount onto the stovethat will accept the fresh air pipe. Installation will require some
additional materials:

The Jøtul F 500 does not “draw” steadily, smoke rollout occurs,
fuel burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there
is combustion present.
Existing 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.
Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates
any of the above symptoms.
The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier andtight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices thatexhaust house air.
There is excessive condensation on the windows in thewinter.
A ventilation system is installed in the house.

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air isinadequate, additional combustion air should be provided fromthe outdoors. Outside combustion air can be provided to theappliance by the following means:12USA/CANADA
Direct connection: The Jøtul F 500 has been tested and listed
for use with an outside air kit. This outside air kit is connected
directly to the stove. Be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the kit.
Indirect method: Outside air is ducted to a point no closer
than (12”) 300mm from the appliance, to avoid affecting theperformance of the appliance.
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 make-up air for the solid fuel fired

Appendix A
Alternate Floor Protection
All floor protection materials must be non-combustible ie. metal,
brick, stone, mineral fiber boards). Any combustible material may
not be used.
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 todetermine overall R-value.
3. If the overall R-value of the system 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
=
W
(m2)(K)(hr)(ft2)(F)
Thermal conductivity =k = Btu=W= (Btu)(hr)(ft2)(F)(m2)(K)(hr)(ft)(F)
Thermal resistance =R = Btu=(hr)(ft2)(F)(m2)(K)W= (Btu)(inch)(hr)(ft2)(F)

Alcoves require use of a bottom heat shield and hearth protection
having a minimum R-value of 1.6.
