WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL IN A BEDROOM/SLEEPING
ROOM. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOMES FLOOR, WALL, CEILING/ROOF
MUST BE MAINTAINED.
OPERATION
Before building a fire in your new F 3 CB, please
read the following section carefully and completely.
Do Not Burn
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 *Treated or painted wood
*Garbage *Chemical Chimney cleaners
*Cardboard *Colored paper
*Solvents *Any synthetic fuel or logs
The burning of any of these materials can result in
the release of 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 the heater
at all times.
Controls on the F 3 CB
There are two air controls on the F 3 CB woodstove.
The primary air control lever is located on the front
of the stove in the top right corner. The primary air
lever controls the amount of air that enters the stove
for combustion.
The start-up air control lever is located below the
glass in the center of the front door. This control is
for start - up air only and should not be used to
freshen an existing fire or during refueling. Never
leave the stove unattended while this control is open,
overfiring could result which can damage the
appliance. See figure 15.

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.
Breaking in your new stove
Your new F 3 CB 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.
To monitor the stoves temperature, Jøtul
recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top
thermometer,
placed directly on the corner of the
stoves top plate.
When first starting a fire: the primary control lever
should be at the far right position, and the start-up
air lever should be in the far right position. This will
allow for the maximum amount of air to enter the
stove and assist in starting the fire quickly and most
effectively.
Once the fire is established the start-up air lever
should be closed and the primary air lever
should be adjusted according to the amount of
heat desired.
Remember: the more air entering the stove the hotter
the fire the shorter the burn time. Moving the primary
air lever to the left reduces the air-flow into the stove
which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output. See
figure 15.
