When installing, operating and maintaining your Jøtul F

400 Castine 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 Association’s 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.

Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.

Notices

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 even death.

Jøtul recommends that you have your new Jøtul F 400

Castine installed by a professional installer of solid fuel

burning appliances.

Extremely hot while in operation! Keep children, clothing

and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

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 F 400 Castine.

If you for some reason experience smoke “roll-out” 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.

Mounting before installation

The F 400 Castine is sold in many countries with varying

USA

demands on fireplaces. Therefore, together with the flue

collar, gasketing and hardware inside the stove, it is

equipped with an extra inspection cover, marked Europe,

which may be throwned away, and a bottom heat shield.

The heat shield is to be used in alcove installations.

Installing the flue collar

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 F 400

Castine 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 F400 Castine. These materials cannot

withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and

can give off toxic fumes when heated.

Do not use the connector pipe as a chimney.

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. See figure 2.

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.

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-B365M, and is also addressed in this

manual.

Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing

another appliance.

Chimney requirements

There are two types of chimneys suitable for the F 400

Castine:

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 cross-

sectional 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, cross-

sectional 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 (ANSI-NFPA

211for the US. And CSA CAN-B365-M for Canada). However,

many local codes differ from the national code to take into

account climate, altitude, or other factors.

Notice: It is important that you check with your local

building officials to find out what codes apply in your area

before installing your new F 400 Castine.

Remember: Your local inspector(s) have the final authority

in approving your installation. It is always best to consult

them prior to the installation.

Do not connect this stove to any air distribution duct or

system.

Masonry Chimneys

When installing the F 400 Castine 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

USA

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 8”X 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 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

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 3.

Chimneys shorter than 14 feet may not provide adequate

draft. This could result in 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.

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 Association’s 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.

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.

In Canada

The Canada the standard has been established by the

Canadian Standard Association. The installation must

conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel

Burning Appliances and Equipment.

Before proceeding be sure to consult your local building

inspector.

USA

Common Method

This method requires the removal of all combustible

materials from at least 18” (457mm) around the chimney

connector’s proposed location. With a 6” round liner the

minimum area required would be 43” x 43” square.

It is important to remember to locate the pass-through

at least 18” from the ceiling to maintain the proper

clearance to combustibles.

The space that is cleared of combustible materials must

then remain empty. Sheet metal panels can then be used

to cover the area. However, when using a panel on both

sides of the wall each cover must be installed on

noncombustible spacers at least 1” from the wall. If one

panel of sheet metal is to be used it may be installed flush

to the wall.

See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91.

Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul

Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada

for other approved wall pass-through methods.

Connecting to the chimney

Masonry Chimney

When installing a Jøtul F 400 Castine into a masonry

chimney through a “thimble”(the opening through the

chimney wall to the flue), the thimble must be lined with

ceramic tile or metal and be securely cemented in place.

The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely

inside the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. It

may be necessary to make use of a thimble sleeve (a pipe

with a slightly smaller diameter than standard stove pipe).

This special pipe can be easily installed into a thimble. See

figure 4.

Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does not

protrude into the flue liner, thereby restricting the area

the smoke has to flow through. This bottle-neck will have

a negative affect on the chimney system.

The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble

with refractory cement and the stove pipe leading to the

stove should have a minimum of three screws.

Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing

another appliance of any kind.

Hearth-mount into a Masonry

Fireplace

The F 400 Castine may be installed into a masonry

fireplace provided the height of the opening is a minimum

of 29 1/2”. If necessary, the short leg package reduces the

stove’s height by 2 1/4”.

When installing the stove into a masonry fireplace, code

requires that the fireplace damper plate be removed or

securely fixed in the open position. A connector pipe must

then extend from the stove’s flue exit through the damper

area of the fireplace and into the chimney tile liner. See

figure 5.

The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than the

area of the stove’s flue exit, and cannot be more than three

times greater than the cross sectional area of the stove’s

flue exit.

If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove,

an approved relining system must be installed to resize

the flue.

A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be

installed around the connector pipe at the damper frame

and sealed with the proper sealant (usually High-Temp

Silicone).

Fireplace installation must also observe the proper

clearances to surrounding trim and mantels (addressed

in clearance section of this manual). In addition, fireplace

installations must also adhere to the floor protection

guidelines specified in the following section.

Prefabricated Chimneys

When installing the F 400 Castine to a prefabricated metal

chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s

instructions and be sure to use the components that are

required. This usually includes some type of “smoke pipe

adapter” that is secured to the bottom section of the metal

chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be secured to it

with three sheet metal screws. See figures 6 and 7.

Clearances to combustibles

Floor Protection

(In the U.S. and Canada)

The F 400 Castine requires any one of the following three

forms of hearth protection:

1. Any UL, ULC or WH listed hearth board. (No bottom

heatshield required).

2 Any non-combustible material that has a minimum

R- value of 2.0. (No bottom heatshield required.)

USA

3. Any non-combustible material with the use of the

stove’s bottom heatshield.

All forms of protection must be a non-combustible surface

extending a minimum of 18” (460mm) in front of the

stove. And 8” (200mm) from the sides and back of the

stove (measured from side and back panels).

This will result in a minimum floor protection of 42” W X

44”D. See figure 8.

In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also

extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2” (50mm)

beyond either side of the pipe. See figure 8.

When constructing a new hearth or floor pad, consult

appendix a at the back of this manual for alternate

materials and methods.

Clearances to walls and ceilings

The following clearances have been tested to UL and ULC

standards and are the minimum clearances specifically

established for the Jøtul F 400 Castine.

The following diagrams give the required clearances you

must maintain when installing the F 400 Castine near

combustible surfaces.

A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet

rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not

limited to those that are visible and also include materials

that are behind non-combustible materials.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material,

consult your local fire officials.

Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered

combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also

“Fire-rated” sheet rock is also considered combustible.

Contact your local building officials about restrictions and

installation requirements in your area.

See pages 12- 13 for complete clearance requirements and

diagrams.

Using Shields to Reduce Clearances

Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce the

connector clearance to combustibles, it must start 1” above

the lowest exposed point of the connect pipe and extend

vertically a minimum of 25” above the top surface of the

stove.

Double wall pipe: Listed double wall pipe is an acceptable

alternative to connector pipe heatshields.

Wall-mounted protection: When reducing clearances

through the use of wall mounted protection:

In the U.S. refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys,

Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for

acceptable materials, proper sizing and construction

guidelines.

In Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for

Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment, also for

acceptable materials, proper sizing and construction

guidelines.

Stove Mounted Heatshield: A stove rear heatshield has

been specifically designed for the F 400 Castine.

In the U.S. and Canada the rear heatshield part number

is # 154911. No other heat shield may be used.

NOTICE: Accessories for woodstoves for clearance

reduction have been developed by many manufacturers.

If not following the methods of the installation codes, be

sure that any accessory you choose has been tested by an

independent laboratory and carries the laboratory’s

testing mark. Make sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s

instructions.

Always contact your local building inspector or fire officials

about restriction and requirements in your area. Reminder,

it is the local officials who have final authority in the

installations approval.

Alcove

The F 400 Castine can be installed in an ALCOVE situation

provided: See figures 9 and 10.

1. The stove must be installed with listed double wall

pipe.

2. In a PROTECTED alcove installation both side walls

and rear wall must be protected per NFPA 211 or CAN/

CSA-B365. The wall protection must be elevated 1”

from the floor and at least 1” off the combustible

wall to allow for an air-flow.

3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom

air space must be 48”.

4. The Bottom heatshield is required in all Alcove

installations.

5. ALCOVE floor protection must be: a UL/ULC or WHI

listed hearth pad or a non combustible material with

a minimum R value of 2.0.

6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation,

off the top of the stove is 58” (1475mm). The minimum

ceiling height off the top of the stove in a protected

ceiling installation is 36” (915mm).

Mobile home installations

The F 400 Castine has been approved for use in mobile

homes in the U.S. and Canada, provided:

USA

1. The stove is secured to the floor or the mobile home.

Floor mounting kit #750304.

2. The stove is provided outside air for combustion.

Outside Air kit #154335(see page 16 for more details).

3. Must be installed in accordance to 24CRR, Part 3280

(HUD).

As always consult with your local building inspector or fire

officials about restrictions and requirements in your area,

prior to installing the stove.

WARNING: Do not install in a bedroom/sleeping room. The

structural integrity of the mobile home’s floor, wall,

ceiling/roof must be maintained.

Operation

Before building a fire in your new F 400 Castine, please

read the following section carefully and completely.

Do not burn

First this stove is designed to burn natural wood only,

wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14 months

will provide the cleanest most efficient heat.

Do not burn:

•Coal •Treated or painted wood

•Garbage •Chemical Chimney cleaners

•Cardboard •Colored paper

•Solvents •Any synthetic fuel or logs

The burning of any of these materials can result in the

release of toxic fumes. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type

lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar

liquids to start or “freshen-up” the fire. Always keep such

liquids away from the heater at all times.

IMPORTANT: Never build or allow the fire to rest directly

on the glass. The logs should always be spaced at least

one inch from the glass to allow for proper air flow within

the stove.

Controls on the Jøtul F 400 Castine

A single air control lever controls the burn time and heat

output of the stove. This primary air control lever is located

on the front of the stove directly above the ash lip. The

primary air lever, controls the amount of air that enters

the stove for combustion.

When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary control

lever should be at the far right position, which allows the

maximum amount of air into the stove. The more air

entering the stove the hotter the fire the shorter the burn

time. Moving the lever to the left reduces the air-flow into

the stove which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output.

See figure 11.

Breaking in your new stove

Your new F 400 Castine is constructed of cast iron and

stove furnace cement. This type of construction requires

the stove to be “broken-in” gradually so that heat

expansion does not occur too quickly and cause damage.

Complete the following steps for the proper break-in

procedure for the F 400 Castine:

1. Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only, only

allow the stove to reach a maximum surface

temperature of 200°. Burn for approximately 1 hour.

2. Allow stove to cool to room temperature.

3. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a

maximum temperature of 300° for 1 hour.

4. Cool the stove to room temperature.

5. Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach

a surface temperature of 400°

6. Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the

“break-in” procedure.

To monitor the stove’s temperature, Jøtul recommends the

use of a magnetic stove-top thermometer, placed directly

on the corner of the stove’s top plate.

Never allow the stove to exceed a 400° surface

temperature during any “break-in fire” with the exception

of the last “break-in” fire.

Note: It is normal for a new painted stove to emit an odor

and even smoke during its first several fires. This is caused

by the seasoning of the high temperature paint and will

diminish with each fire and will eventually disappear.

Opening a window or door to provide additional

ventilation will reduce the odor as this process takes its

course.

Starting and maintaining a fire

Burn only solid wood directly on the bottom grate of the

stove, do not elevate the fire in any way.

• The ash pan door on the stove must always be securely

closed when the stove is in operation.

• Burning the stove with the ash pan open will over-fire

the stove and cause interior damage.

With the primary air control lever in the full open position,

start with several sheets of crumbled newspaper placed

directly on the grate. On top of the newspaper, place

several pieces of small dry kindling (approx. 1” in diameter)

with two to three larger logs (approx. 3” to 5” in diameter)

on top.

Light the fire and close the door, slowly building the fire

by adding larger and larger logs. Be sure to follow the

break-in procedure before creating a fire that will damage

the stove.

Once the stove has reached a surface temperature range

USA

of between 400° and 600°, adjust the primary air control

lever as necessary to generate the heat output and burn

time desired.

Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove top

thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of the

stove. The optimum surface temperature range for the

most efficient burn is between 400° and 600°.

See figure 12 -page 16 for the optimum locations of a stove-

top thermometer.

Important: Never overfire the stove. If any part of the

stove or chimney glows, you are overfiring, and a house

fire or serious damage to the stove or chimney could result.

Immediately close down the air control if you notice this

condition.

Adding fuel

When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed of

hot embers still exist, follow this reloading procedure:

•Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.

•Push the air control lever to the full open position (far

right).

•Wait a few seconds before opening the door.

•Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot embers

equally around the firebox.

•Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.

•Close the door, be sure to latch the door tightly.

•Wait 5 – 10 minutes before adjusting the primary air

to the desired heat output setting.

•(If you have at least a 2” thick ember bed when

reloading, it may be possible to close the door and

immediately adjust the air control setting).

The formation of creosote

When wood is burned slowly and at low temperatures, it

produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine

with moisture to form creosote. The slow moving smoke

carries the creosote vapors, which condense in the cooler

chimney flues, and this creosote then sticks to the chimney

walls.

The creosote that accumulates in the chimney is highly

flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires. To prevent

chimney fires it is important to have the chimney and

chimney connector pipe inspected and/or cleaned semi-

annually. A qualified chimney sweep or other authorized

service person can provide this service.

It is also important to remember that chimney size,

temperature and height all affect draft which in turn

affects the formation of creosote. Be sure to follow the

installation and operation guidelines established in this

manual.

Maintenance

Ash removal

Of course, for your protection always wear safety gloves

when handling the ash pan.

Ash removal will be required periodically depending on

how frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the F 400

Castine is equipped with an ash pan assembly for easy

ash removal, without the need for opening the front doors.

The ash pan door is located under the front ash lip of the

stove. To open the ash door place the receptacle end of

your specially designed ash tool onto the square fitting of

the ash door latch. Rotate the door counterclockwise to

unlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door.

With a gloved hand grasp the ash pan handle and remove

the ash pan. Always close the ash pan door before leaving

to dispose of the ashes.

The ashes should be placed in a metal container equipped

with a tight sealing lid. The container should be placed on

a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from

all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the

ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally

dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container

until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Glass care

Cleaning: On occasion it will be necessary to clean the

carbon deposits and fly ash off of the glass. If the carbon

and fly ash are allowed to remain on the glass for an

extended period of time it could eventually cause the glass

to become etched and cloudy. Any creosote, which might

deposit on the glass, will burn off during the next hot fire.

The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:

1. Glass needs to be completely cool.

2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed for this

purpose. The use of abrasives will damage the glass

and ultimately leave the glass frosted.

3. Rinse and dry glass completely, before burning your

stove.

IMPORTANT: Replace glass only with a ceramic glass panel

specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 Castine. Do not

use substitutes. Replacement glass panels can be ordered

through your Jøtul dealer.

Glass Removal: Always operate the doors slowly and

cautiously to avoid cracking or breaking the glass. Never

use the door to push wood into the firebox. If the glass

becomes cracked or broken follow this procedure for

replacement:

Never operate the stove with a cracked or

broken glass panel.

USA

1. Remove the doors from the stove and place on a flat

surface.

2. Carefully remove all of the glass clips from the inside

of the doors.

3. Gently remove the glass panel and gasketing.

4. Remove all remaining debris from the glass area using

a wire brush.

5. Apply a small bead of gasket/stove cement and the

new gasket. Do not overlap the ends of the gasket

rope.

6. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and

reinstall the glass clips. See figure 13.

7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips after

the stove has been burned and the gasketing has been

seated.

IMPORTANT: The side of the glass treated with an infrared

coating (marked on the perimeter) should always be facing

outward. It is extremely important to tighten the glass

clips slowly and in a repeating pattern, like tightening the

lugs on an automobile wheel.

General Maintenance

Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life of your

appliance. The following procedures do not take long and

are generally inexpensive, but when done consistently,

increase the life of your appliance and in turn, increase

your years of enjoyment.

At least once a year you should perform the following

maintenance procedures:

•Thoroughly clean the stove. Enamel surfaces should

be cleaned with soap and water.

•Empty stove of all soot and ashes. Only use a vacuum

for this job if the vacuum is specifically designed for

ashes.

•Inspect the stove; using a strong light inspect the stove

inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked

parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace

cement.

Gaskets

Check door and window gaskets for tightness. To check

the seal of the front doors, close and latch the doors on a

dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill free. If it

can be easily removed then the seal is too loose. Check

several spots around the door, and repeat the procedure

on the ash pan door as well.

If gaskets need to be replaced, scrape out the old gasket

and cement and clean the area with a wire brush. Apply a

small bead of cement and push in the new gasket. After

closing and latching the doors wipe clean, any excessive

cement that has come from beneath the gasketing.

The F 400 Castine is designed to burn cleanly and

efficiently when used according to the guidelines

expressed in these operating instructions. However, to

maintain the proper performance, a yearly chimney

inspection and cleaning in necessary. Failure to keep the

chimney system free of creosote and build up could result

in a serious chimney fire.

Accessories

Many accessories have been manufactured for use with

the Jøtul F 400 Castine. Only use accessories that are

specifically designed for the Jøtul F 400 Castine.

Firescreen (part # 129650)

The F 400 Castine has been approved for use as an open

fireplace, with front door open. This feature is especially

nice when the ambience of a fire is desired. Some care

should be taken when operating the stove as a fireplace.

•Always have the firescreen in place, attached to the

stove front.

•Never overload the stove, for the best appearance burn

in the traditional three log configuration.

•Reminder, when burning the stove with the screen in

place, you are sacrificing efficiency for aesthetics, and

you will be consuming wood at a much faster rate.

WARNING: Operate your Jøtul F 400 Castine with the front

doors fully open and the firescreen in place or fully closed.

Partially opened doors may result in overfiring. Also, if the

doors are left partly open, gas and flame may be drawn out

of the stove opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke.

Outside Air Kit (part # 154335)

In certain installations it may be necessary to provide

outside air to your F 400 Castine wood stove. Guidelines

to determine the need for additional combustion air may

not be adequate for every situation. If in doubt, it is

advisable to provide additional air.

USA

The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter to mount onto

the stove that will except the fresh air pipe.

Installation will require some additional materials:

a. The appropriate length of metallic pipe for a conduit

of the outside air (3” diameter).

b. A rain/weather resistant cap for the outside of the

house.

c. A rodent screen- that is no larger than 1/4” mesh.

Outside air may be required if:

1. The F 400 Castine does not “draw” steadily, smoke

rollout occurs, fuel burns poorly, or back-drafts occur

whether or not there is combustion present.

2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as

fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not

operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened,

or back -draft whether or not there is combustion

present.

3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day

alleviates any of the above symptoms.

4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier

and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered

devices that exhaust house air.

5. There is excessive condensation on the windows in the

winter.

6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.

If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is

inadequate, additional combustion air should be provided

from the outdoors. Outside combustion air can be

provided to the appliance by the following means:

1. Direct connection: The F 400 Castine has been tested

and listed for use use with a outside air kit. This outside

air kit is connected directly to the stove, be sure to

follow the instructions provided with the kit.

2. Indirect method: Outside air is ducted to a point no

closer than (12”) 300mm from the appliance, to avoid

affecting the performance of the appliance.

3. A mechanical ventilation system: If the house has a

ventilation system (air change or heat recovery):

a. The ventilation system may be able to provide

sufficient combustion make-up air for the solid -

fuel fired appliance.

b. The homeowner should be informed that the

ventilation system might need to be rebalanced

by a ventilation technician after installation of the

appliance.

Floor Bracket Kit (part # 750304)

Use of the Floor Bracket Kit is required in all mobile home

installations to secure the stove to the floor. Complete

installation instructions and diagrams are supplied with

each Floor Bracket Kit.

USA

Rear Heatshield (part # 154385)

A stove rear heatshield has been specifically designed for

the F 400 Castine to reduce clearances off the rear of the

stove to combustible materials. Use of the heatshield does

not affect the clearance off the sides of the appliance. See

pages 12-13 for specific clearance requirements. Complete

installation instructions are supplied with the heatshield.

No other type of heatshield may be used on the rear of

the F 400 Castine.

Bottom Heatshield (part # 129884)

A bottom heatshield, which is packed inside the stove, has

been specifically designed for the F 400 Castine. It is

required in all alcove installations. Use of the bottom heat

shield does not affect the floor protection requirements

discribed on page 16 of this manual.

No other type of heatshield may be used on the bottom

of the F 400 Castine.

Stove-top Thermometer (part # 5002)

Jøtul recommends the use of a magnetic stove-top

thermometer to monitor the surface temperature of the

stove. The optimum surface temperature range for the

most efficient, clean burn is between 400° and 600°.

Appendix A

Alternate floor protection

All floor protection materials must be non-combustible ie. metal, brick,

stone, mineral fiber boards). Any combustible material may not be

used.

The easiest means of determining if a proposed alternate floor material

meets requirements listed in this manual is to follow this procedure.

R-value = thermal resistance

k-value = thermal conductivity

C-value = thermal conductance

1. Convert the specification to R-value;

a. If R-value is given, no conversion is needed.

b. If k-value is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k X T.

c. If C-value is given: R=1/C.

2. Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.

a. Use the formula in Step 1 to convert values not expressed as “R”.

b. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine overall

R-value.

3. If the overall R-value of the sustem is greater than the R-value of the

specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

EXAMPLE:

The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a k-factor

of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/

8” mineral board witha k-factor of 0.29.

Step A. Use formula above to convert specifications to R-value. R=1/k X

T= 1/.84 X .75 = .893

Step B. Calculate R of proposed system.

4” brick of C-1.25, therefore R brick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80.

1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29 therefore

R mineral board = 1/.29 X 0.125 = 0.431

Total R = R brick + R mineral board=

0.8 + 0.431=1.231

Step C. Compare proposed system R = 1.231 to specified R of 0.893. Since

R is greater than required, the system is acceptable.

Definitions:

Thermal conductance =

C = Btu = W

(hr)(ft2)(F) (m2)(K)

Thermal conductivity =

k = Btu = W = (Btu)

(hr)(ft2)(F) (m2)(K) (hr)(ft)(F)

Thermal resistance=

R = Btu = (m2)(K) = (Btu)(inch)

(hr)(ft2)(F) W (hr)(ft2)(F)

THE JØTUL F 400 CASTINE WOODSTOVE REQUIRES FLOOR PROTECTION

WITH A MINIMUM INSULATING R VALUE OF 0.5.

ALCOVE INSTALLATION REQUIRE A MINIMUM R VALUE OF 1.6. (IF A UL/

ULC or WHI LISTED HEARTH PAD IS NOT USED.)
