6.5 Checking the fireplace
Jøtul recommends that you personally check your fireplace
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces for
cracks.
Also check that all joints are sealed and that the door and top
plate gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing
signs of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket groove, apply ceramic glue (available
from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well into place.
The joint will dry quickly.
6.6 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years of use. The
surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose particles
before new Jøtul stove paint is applied.
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a dry cloth. Do not
use soap and water. Any stains can be removed with a cleaning
fluid (e.g. oven cleaner).

9.0 Reasons for operational
problems - troubleshooting
Poor draught
• Check the length of the chimney so that it covers the
requirements stipulated in national laws and regulations. See
also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5 Chimney and flue pipe»
for information.
• Ensure that the minimum cross-section of the chimney is in
accordance with «2.0 Technical data» .
• Make sure that there is not anything preventing the flue
gasses from escaping: Branches, trees, etc.
The fire extinguishes
• Make sure that the wood is sufficiently dry
• Find out whether there is negative pressure in the house, close
mechanical fans and open a window close to the stove
• Check that the air vent is open.
• Check that the flue outlet is not clogged by soot
Unusual amount of soot on the glass
Some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity depends
on:
• Humidity of the wood
• Local draught conditions
• Regulating the air vent.
Most of the soot will normally burn off when the air vent is
opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace.
