Jøtul C 31 Montage- Und Gebrauchanleitung Seite 13

Consequences of using damp wood may include:
• Appearance of soot/tar on the glass, in the fi replace and in
the chimney.
• The fi replace emits little warmth.
• Risk of chimney fi re as a consequence of accumulation of
soot in the fi replace, fl ue pipe and chimney.
• The fi re may die out.
Be especially careful never to lay a fi re using any of the
following materials:
• Household waste, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated wood (highly toxic).
• Chipboard or laminated boards.
• Driftwood.
This may harm the product and pollute the atmosphere.
N.B. Never use combustible liquids such as petrol,
kerosene, red spirit or similar to start the fi re. This may
cause harm to both yourself and the product.
5.3 Log length and amount
The maximum length of logs to be used is 55 cm. Nominal heat
emission is 8,0 kWh. The requirement for nominal heat emission
is 2,3 kg of quality fi rewood per hour.
An important factor for proper fuel consumption is that the
logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: Approx 40 - 50 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fi re: 8 - 10 pieces
Firewood (split logs):
Recommended length: 50 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 50 minutes
Size of the fi re: 1,8 kg
Amount per load: 2 stk.
5.4 Initial lighting
• Light the fi re as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fi re for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the fi rst time.
Painted products: The fi replace may emit an irritating gas
when used for the fi rst time, and it may smell a little. The gas
is not toxic, but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let
the fi re burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas have
disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fi replace the fi rst few times it is used. This must be wiped off
to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats up.
5.5 Daily use
The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fi replace,
meaning that each fi re should burn down to embers before new
fi rewood is added.
• Open both draught vents (fi g. 5B and
example, when the handle is warm.)
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
•
•
•
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is
open approximately 70%.
5.6 Adding fi rewood
•
•
•
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fi replace must never be
used in a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air
so that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating
is when parts of the fi replace glow red. If this happens, reduce
the ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek
professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5
Chimney» for information.
5.7 Using fi replace during the
transition from winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under diffi cult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less fi rewood and have a larger opening
in the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In
this was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often
than usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».
6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul C 31 is equipped with top draught (air wash). Through the
air vent air is sucked in above the fi replace and washed down
along the inside of the glass. This system has the advantage
that it provides better combustion and reduces the buildup of
soot deposits on the glass.
Still, some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the draught vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned
off when the draught vent is opened all the way and a fi re is
burning briskly in the fi replace.
C).(Use a glove, for
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it
Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and
add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper. Increase the size of the logs gradually.
Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fi re.Close
the door and the ignition vent when the fi rewood has ignited
and the fi re is burning briskly.
Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (fi g. 5B).
Each load should burn down to embers before new fi rewood
is added. Open the door slightly and allow the negative
pressure to level out prior to opening the door completely.
Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fi re.
Regulate the air vent (fi g. 5B) once the wood has properly
ignited and is burning well.
