Warning: Operate your Jøtul F 602 USA only with the
door fully closed. Keep the door fully closed except
when loading fuel or removing ashes. A partially open
door may result in overfiring.
Maintenance
General
At least once a year, perform a routine maintenance
check. A good time to do this is when you are cleaning
the chimney and the connector. You should clean the
chimney and connector whenever accumulations of
soot and creosote reach 1/4" thick, which may be several
times a year, depending on how the stove is operated.
Thoroughly clean the entire stove. Brush all ash and soot
out of the stove. It is better to brush out the ash and soot
than to vacuum it out because soot particles are small
enough to pass through most vacuum bags.
In a dark room, use a strong light to inspect the stove
inside and out for cracks or leaks at corners and joints.
Cracked pants should be replaced. Leaks at joints can be
patched with stove furnace cement.
Check the door and window gaskets for tightness. To check
the front door gasket, put a dollar bill halfway into the
stove, close and latch the door, and try pulling the dollar
out. lf it can be removed easily the, seal is too loose. Check
several spots around the door. To replace the gasket,
scrape out all old gasket material and gasket cement.
Spread a 1/8" bead of stove cement into the bottom of
the groove and press in new gasket.
The door requires 36" of 1/4" diameter high density gasket.
The gasket between the glass panel and the door receives
very little wear. The best indication that it needs to be
replaced is streaks on the glass caused by air leaking
around the gasket.
Glass Replacement
To prevent cracking of the glass operate the doors gently.
Do not shut the door by striking or slamming.
lf the stove's glass is cracked or broken, you must replace
it before operating your stove. Carefully remove any
broken pieces. Replace the panel only with the correct
Jøtul replacement glass, and do not use substitutes.
The glass can be replaced with the door still mounted to
the stove or the door can be removed and placed on a flat
working surface. The steps are the same:
Clean off any residual gasket material from the door using
a wire brush if necessary.
The replacement gasket is self-adeshive. Measure enough
gasket to go from the upper right corner of the glass,
down the right side, across the bottom and back up to the
upper left corner and then add about 2-1/2". Please note
that the top of the glass is not gasketed. A small amount
of air is allowed to enter through the that area to help
keep the glass clean.
• Peel off about 10" of the self-adhesive backing strip.
Leaving about 1-1/4"of gasket "tail" overlapping, apply
the gasket to the groove on the door, making sure that
the adhesive is facing the door.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Peel off the remaining adhesive backing and apply the
remaining gasket, again leaving a "tail" at the upper
left corner.
• Press the gasket firmly in place.
• Center the glass panel left and right on top of the
gasket. Slide the glass toward the bottom of the door
until it hits stops.
• Hold the glass in place with your hand and wrap the
gasket "tails" over the top of the glass and down the
outer edges. You will have to twist the gasket so the
adhesive will face the glass. Press the "tails" firmly on
the glass.
• Replace the air control slide and the upper and lower
retainer manifolds and screws.
It is extremely important that the retainers be tightened
a small amount at a time and following a pattern similar
to tightening the lug bolts on an automobile wheel. They
should end up equally tightened and not over-tightened.
It may be necessary to retighten once again after the
stove has been burned and the new gasket has been
seated.
Glass Cleaning
From time to time, clean off the accumulated ash from
the inside surfaces of the glass panels. lf this fly ash is
allowed to remain on the surface for extended periods, it
could eventually cause the glass to become permanently
etched and somewhat cloudy. Any creosote which might
deposit on the glass will burn off during the next hot fire.
Never clean the glass while it is hot and never use any
abrasive materials to clean the glass. Cool water and a
soft cloth or paper towel are usually all that is required.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing and dry
completely before burning your stove.
