Odours when using the replace for the
rst time
When the replace is used for the rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries. The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the re burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or
odours can be detected.
Heating advice
NB! Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on “Wood quality”.
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood
such as birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is
no more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials
as fuel in your replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic)
• Laminated wooden planks
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB! Never use petrol, parafn, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.
Adding rewood
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel
at a time. If the stove is lled too full, the heat created may
cause extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the re in
moderation. Avoid smouldering res as this produces the
most pollution. The re is best when it is burning well and the
smoke from the chimney is almost invisible.
Wood consumption
Jøtul F230 has a nominal heat output of ca. 6 kW.
Use of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,9 kg/h.
Kindling:
Length: Approx. 27-30 cm, Diameter: 2-5 cm
Amount per re: 6-8 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 27-30 cm, Diameter: Approx. 8 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 50 minutes
Size of the re: 1,5 kg (nominal effect)
Amount per load: 3 pieces
Jøtul F 230 is equipped with the following operating options:
Lever for igniting the stove (A):
Vertical position (F): Closed
Horizontal position (G): Open
Ignition lever (Air through the bottom) (B)
Pushed back: Open
Pulled forward: Closed
Secondary combustion lever (Glass air wash) (C)
Pushed back: Open
Pulled forward: Closed
Door handle (D):
Open by pulling the handle.
Stacking height for logs (E) (The holes must not be covered).
5.1 Use
• Open vents for ignition and secondary combustion by
pushing both handles backwards (B)(C). (Use a glove, as
the handle can become hot)
• Place two logs 27-30 cm on each side of the base. NB! In
order to avoid sooting on the glass, it is important that the
log is not placed adjacent to the glass on the product
• Gradually increase the size of the re, but the wood
should not be stacked higher than the horizontal holes on
the back burn plate (E)
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top
layer of kindling and light the re
• Pull out the lever (A, pos G) for ignition of the stove.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion)
starts. This is best indicated by yellow, ickering ames
under the bafe
• When the re has caught well, open the door slightly, so
that the ignition lever (A) falls down (pos. F). Then close
the door. The door must always be closed when the re
is lit
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level
of heating by adjusting the secondary combustion vent (C).
