Ensure that the chimney or flue is structurally sound. In
particular, it must not be possible for products of
combustion to come into contact with combustible
materials in the structure of the building.
In some situations it may be advisable to fit a flue liner
prior to the installation of the stove. Your installer will advise
if this is necessary.
NOTE:
A guide is published by the British Flue and Chimney
Manufacturers’ Association that contains general
information on chimneys and flues.
If any of the pre-installation checks reveal inadequacies,
do not proceed with the installation of the stove until all
defects or deficiencies have been rectified.

General safety precautions
Distance to wall made of flammable material and
requirements for the floor plate:
Contact your local authorithy to inform you about the local
codes and to ensure that your installation is safe and legal.
See fig. 1.
Requirements for the floor plate: If the stove will be
installed on a combustible floor, a robust, solid, non-
combustible layer should cover the floor beneath the stove.
This layer should cover an area of at least 300 mm in front
of the stove door, and at least 150 mm either side of the
opening. (See Building Regulations.) We recommend that
you contact the local Jøtul dealer prior to installation.
Uninsulated flue pipe: If uninsulated flue pipes go through
floors or walls, the opening must be made of brick or
masonry, in such a way that the external surface of the
pipe does not get closer to flammable materials than 300
mm. Isolated flue pipes may have a different distance, if
necessary refer to fire technical product documentation
for the flue pipe.
Measures to prevent fires
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger.
Therefore, respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials
do not get too close to the fireplace. There ought to be
a clear distance from the front of the fireplace of at
least 600 mm.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause
burns if touched.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied
where it does not entail a fire hazard. Refer to local
regulations.
• Any stove should have a storage container made of non-
flammable material as a standard accessory for the
safe disposal of soot and ashes. Soot and ashes must
be stored in this container for at least a week in order
to be certain that the last ember has been extinguished.
If the container needs to be emptied before this, add
plenty of water to the container and stir.
• You may want to keep the ash. It is a first class fertilizer
for roses and other plants.
Installation of Jøtul F 400
Note! Check that the stove is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing it.
Foundations
If Jøtul F 400 is to be installed on a wooden floor, ensure that
the floor under the stove has the dimensions to carry it.
Chimney
The stove can be connected to a masonry chimney, a brick,
pre-fabricated element or a steel chimney. See separate
section. Minimum chimney cross section is recommended
to be 177 cm
2
. (Corresponding to 150 mm dia.). Connection
to chimney must be done in accordance with the installation
instructions from the supplier of the chimney.
Air circulation
Using a fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air to
the room where the product is installed. If the house is
sealed, the room ought to be equipped with extra fresh air
supply through vents. Avoid using mechanical fan vents in
a room with a fireplace. This may cause negative pressure
and draw poisonous gasses into the room. In order to avoid
this, it is possible to bring in outside air directly to the stove
by using an adapter (extra unit) that is mounted to the air
