General Maintenance
As with your car, regular maintenance will prolong the
life of your stove and ensure satisfactory performance.
At least once per year you should perform the following
maintenance procedures:
• Thoroughly clean the stove. Use a soft cloth with soap
and water to clean enamel surfaces. Be sure the stove
is cold, before cleaning.
• Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum
for this 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 parts and repair any cement leaks with
furnace cement.
Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To check
the seal of the front door, close and latch the door on a
dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. You
should feel resistance as you pull. If it can be 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 to seat
it in the channel. Close and latch the door and then
reopen. Wipe away any excess cement that may have
squeezed out from around the gasket.

Chimney System
The Jøtul F 100 USA 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
least twice a year and clean when creosote and fly ash
deposits exceed 1/4” in any part of the system. Failure to
keep the chimney system free of creosote and build up
could result in a serious chimney fire.

Accessories
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 performance is 400
0
F - 600
0
F (205
0
C - 316
0
C).
Flue Collar Heat Shield (# 154996)
This unobtrusive heat shield must be installed on stoves
using double wall chimney connector to provide additional
protection to combustible materials from heat radiating
from the flue collar of the stove. The insulating properties
of double wall pipe result in higher flue temperatures in
this area than are generated in single wall connectors.
