Safety Notices
• Burn solid wood fuel only
• Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
• If this room heater is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire,
follow the installation instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• Contact the local building or fire officials about
restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
• Do not connect this stove to any air
distribution duct or system.
• Extremely hot while in operation! Keep
children, clothing and furniture away. Contact
will cause skin burns.
• Install smoke detectors in the living areas and
bedrooms of your home. Test them regularly and
install new batteries twice annually.
When installed in the same room as the stove, a
smoke detector should be located as far from the
stove as possible to prevent it from sounding
when adding fuel to the fire.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the
room where the stove is operating. Be aware
that operation of an exhaust fan or clothes
dryer can create a low pressure area and
consequently promote flow reversal through
the stove and chimney system. The chimney
and building, however, always work together
as a system - provision of outside air, directly or
indirectly to an atmospherically vented
appliance will not guarantee proper chimney
performance. Consult your local Jøtul
authorized dealer regarding specific
installation/performance issues.
• Jøtul recommends that this stove be installed
by a professional solid fuel technician or that
you consult one if you do the work yourself. Also,
consult your insurance company regarding any
other specific requirements.
Installation
If this solid fuel room heater is not properly installed, a
house fire may result. For your safety, follow the
installation directions. Contact the local building or fire
officials about restrictions and installation inspection
requirements in your area.
Your local officials have final authority in determining if a
proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement by
the local authority having jurisdiction that is not
specifically addressed in this manual, defaults to NFPA
211, and local codes in the U.S. or in Canada, CAN/CSAB365-M and local codes.
Assembly Before Installation
Unpack the Stove
Inspect the stove for damage. Contact your dealer
immediately if any damage is found. Do not install the
stove if any damage is evident.

Flue Collar Installation
The Flue Collar is oriented in the Top Exit position. Apply
the gasket to the collar before installing the chimney
connector.
Position Reversal
Follow this procedure to change the collar to a Rear Exit
position if appropriate.
1. Remove the Flue Collar by reaching through the
opening and removing the two bolts that secure it to
the top plate.
2. Using tin snips, cut out the panel from the Rear Heat
Shield for the Flue Collar to pass through. See fig. 1.
3. Remove the two screws that attach the Coverplate to
the rear outlet. Hold onto the Coverplate while
removing the second screw so that it does not fall
out. See fig. 2.
4. Using the same screws, attach the Flue Collar to the
rear outlet and the Coverplate to the Top Plate.
5. Install the Flue Collar gasket. Remove the protective
paper from the adhesive side and apply the gasket to
the inside of the Flue Collar.

• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal
screws. The connection to the stove flue collar takes
two sheetmetal screws.
• For the best performance, the chimney connector
should be as short and direct as possible, including no
more than two 90° elbows.
• The maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe
should not exceed 10 ft. (305 cm).
• The maximum horizontal run should not exceed 3 ft.
(92 cm) with a 1/4” rise per foot. Under no circumstance
should horizontal pipe be allowed to slant down toward
the chimney.
• No part of the chimney connector may pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space,
or through a floor or ceiling. All sections of the chimney
connectors must be accessible for cleaning. Where
passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform
with NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365, and is also addressed
in this manual.
• Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
Figure 2. Remove the Rear Flue Outlet Coverplate.
Install the Ashlip
Attach the ashlip to the front by engaging the center tab
with the slot located under the front door.
Assemble the Door Knob
Locate the white washer between the handle and the
knob.
Chimney Connector
Use 6” single wall or listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to
connect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe
must be black iron or stainless steel and have a minimum
thickness of 24 gauge. Do not use aluminum or galvanized
steel pipe for chimney connection - these materials are
not suitable for use with solid fuel.
Follow these guidelines regarding chimney connector
construction:
• Do not use chimney connector as a chimney. It is
intended only for use as a connection device.
• Each connector section must be oriented with the male
(crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See fig. 3.

Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the Jøtul
F 100 USA :
1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic tile
or listed steel flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per UL
103 or ULC S629.
The chimney size should not be less than the crosssectional area of the flue collar, and not more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue
collar.
When selecting a chimney type and the location for the
chimney in the house, keep this in mind: It is the chimney
that makes the stove work, not the stove that makes the
chimney work. This is because a chimney actually creates
a suction, called “draft” which pulls air through the stove.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, crosssectional area (size), and temperature of the chimney, as
well as the proximity of surrounding trees or buildings.
A short exterior masonry chimney will give the poorest
performance because it will be difficult to warm the flue
and sustain the temperatures necessary to maintain draft
strength. In extremely cold climates, it may be necessary
to reline the chimney or extend the height to help establish
draft.
A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep warm
and will perform the best under a variety of weather and
environmental conditions.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211
for the US. And CSA CAN-B365 for Canada). However,
many local codes differ from the national code to take
into account climate, altitude, or other factors. Your local
building inspector is the final approving authority. Consult
them prior to installation.
There must be at least 1/2” (12.7 mm) air space between
the flue liner and chimney wall.
• The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size of 8” X
8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger than 8”X
12” (20 cm x 30 cm). A round fireclay liner must have a
minimum inside diameter of 6” (15 cm) and maximum
inside diameter of 8” (20 cm). A larger chimney should
be relined with an appropriate code approved liner.
• Brick or modular block must be a minimum of 4” (10
cm) nominal thickness. Stone construction must be at
least 12” (30 cm) thick.
• A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes, or,
in their absence, must comply with national
regulations.
• An existing chimney must be inspected by a
professional licensed chimney sweep, fire official, or
code officer to ensure that the chimney is in proper
working order.
• No other appliance may be vented into the same flue.
• An airtight clean-out door should be located at the
base of the chimney.
Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested and listed
for use with solid fuel burning appliances. High
Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the U.S.
and High Temperature Standard ULC S-629 for Canada.
The manufacturer’s installation instructions must be
followed precisely. Always maintain the proper clearance
to combustibles as established by the pipe manufacturer.
This clearance is usually a minimum of 2”, although it may
vary by manufacturer or for certain chimney components.
Chimney Height
The chimney must be at least 3 feet (92 cm) higher than
the highest point where it passes through the roof and at
least 2 feet (61 cm) higher than the highest part of the
roof or structure that is within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the
chimney, measured horizontally. See figure 4.
Do not connect the stove to any air distribution duct or
system.
Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 100 USA into a masonry
chimney you must conform to all of the following
guidelines:
• The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (14 mm)
and must be installed with refractory mortar.
