JØTUL OSLO F500 WOODSTOVE
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Jøtul OSLO F500 woodstove, follow the guidelines
presented in these instructions, and make them
available to anyone using or servicing the stove.
A number of areas require a building permit to install
a solid fuel burning appliance. In the U.S., the
National Fire Protection Associations Code, NFPA
211, Standards for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents
and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, or similar
regulations, may apply to the installation of a solid
fuel burning appliance in your area.
In Canada, the guideline is established by the CSA
Standard, CAN/CSA-B365-M93, Installation
Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment. Always consult your local building
inspector or authority having jurisdiction to
determine what regulations apply in your area.
· Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the
room where the stove is operating. Operating an
exhaust fan or a clothes dryer could create a low
pressure area, causing poisonous gases to come
out of the stove into the room.
You can prevent low pressure conditions by
providing adequate combustion air within 24 but
not closer than 12 from the stove. Or, simply
install the optional outside air manifold system,
which allows the direct connection of air from
outside the house to the stove.
· Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Some fuels will, during combustion, separate
carbon monoxide and generate it in the burn
chamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic, so please
follow the guidelines in this manual for proper
operation of your Jøtul OSLO F500.
· If you for some reason experience smoke rollout from the stove, it may activate smoke
detectors if installed in the house.

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.
Reminder:
Your local officials have final authority in
determining if a proposed installation is
acceptable. Any requirement, that is requested
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/CSA-B365-M and local
codes.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section must
be installed to the stove flue collar and to each other
with the male (crimped) end toward the stove.
figure 1.
This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid
creosote from running down the outside of the pipe
or the stove top. All joints, including the flue collar
connection must be secured with three sheet metal
screws to ensure that the sections do not separate.

TOP OR REAR EXIT FLUE
The Oslo F500 is shipped with the flue collar,
gasketing and hardware inside the stove. To install
the flue collar in the top or rear exit position remove
the tape from the gasketing and adhere to the groove
on the back of the stove around the flue opening.
Place the flue collar on the stove in the top or rear
exit position and secure with the nut, bolt and washer.
The nut and washer are placed on the inside of the
stove.
STOVE PIPE
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used
to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with
the OSLO F500 the chimney connector MUST be
6 in diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge
black steel.
Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable
for use with the OSLO F500. These materials
cannot withstand the extreme temperatures of a
wood fire and can give off toxic fumes when heated.
For the best performance the chimney connector
should be as short and direct as possible, with no
more than two 90° elbows. The maximum horizontal
run is 36 and a recommended total length of stove
pipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope
horizontal runs upward ¼ per foot 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 UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
Masonry Chimneys
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the
OSLO F500:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a 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.
As a result, a short masonry chimney on the exterior
of a house will give the poorest performance. This
is because it can be very difficult to warm the
chimney thereby creating inadequate draft. In
extremely cold northern areas it may be necessary
to reline the chimney or extend its height to help
establish draft.
Oppositely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house
is easier to keep warm and will perform the best.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSINFPA 211for 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. It is important that you
check with your local building officials to find out
what codes apply in your area before installing your
new OSLO F500.
When installing the OSLO F500 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 and must be installed with refractory mortar.
There must be at least ½ air space between
the flue liner and chimney wall.
· The fireclay flue liner must have a nominal size
of 8 X 8, and should not be larger than
8X 12. If a round fireclay liner is to be used it
must have a minimum inside diameter of 6 and
not larger than 8 in diameter. If a chimney with
larger dimensions is to be used, it should be
relined with an appropriate liner that is code
approved.
· The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or
modular block, must be a minimum of 4 nominal
thickness. A mountain or rubble stone wall must
be at least 12 thick.
· A newly-built chimney must conform to local
codes and in their absence must recognize
national regulations.
· When using an existing chimney, it 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 can be vented into the same
flue.
· An airtight clean-out door should be located at
the base of the chimney.
Prefabricated Chimneys
If a prefabricated metal chimney is to be used it
must be a chimney type that is 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 manufacturers 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
Whether a masonry chimney or prefabricated metal
chimney is used it must be the required height above
the roof line.
The requirement is:
The chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the
highest point where it passes through the roof and at
least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or
structure that is within 10 feet of the chimney,
measured horizontally.
See figure 2.
WALL PASS-THROUGHS
When your installation unavoidably requires the
chimney connector to pass through a combustible wall
to reach the chimney, always consult your local
building officials, and be sure any materials to be used
have been tested and listed for wall pass-throughs.
In the U.S.
The National Fire Protection Associations publication,
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances permits
four methods for passing through a combustible wall.
Before proceeding with any method be sure to consult
with your local building officials to discuss any local
code requirements.
Common Method
When passing through a combustible wall to a
masonry chimney this method requires the removal
of all combustible materials from at least 12 around
the chimney connectors proposed location. With a 6
round liner the minimum area required would be 31
x 31 square.
FIGURE 2
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet may not provide
adequate draft. This could result is smoke spilling
into the room from the stove when loading the stove,
or when the door is open. In addition, inadequate
draft can cause back puffing, which is a build up of
gases inside the firebox.
Other times, chimney height can create excessive
draft which can cause high stove temperatures and
short burn times. Excessive drafts can be corrected
by installing a butterfly damper.If you suspect you
have a draft problem, consult your dealer.
The space is then filled with at least 12 of brick
around a fireclay liner. Remember, the liner must be
ASTM C35 or equivalent, with a minimum wall
thickness of 5/8.
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through
at least 18 from the ceiling for proper clearance to
combustibles.
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers,
and construct a sill frame to maintain the proper
dimensions and to support the weight of the brick.
The bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of
3 ½ thick (4 nominal).
Refractory mortar must be used at the junction of the
chimney and the pass-through liner. The pass-through
liner must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond the
inner surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme care
when constructing the hole in the chimney liner, the
tiles can shatter easily.
See figure 3.
