3.0 Safety
NB! To guarantee optimal performance and safety, Jøtul
stoves must be fi tted by a qualifi ed installer.
Any modifi cations to the product by the distributor, installer or
consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation of
accessories or optional extras not supplied by Jøtul. This may
also be the case if parts that are essential to the functioning and
safety of the fi replace have been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the right to make a complaint becomes null
and void.
The Clean Air Act
"The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas"
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare
the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an off ence to emit smoke from
a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fi xed
boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is
also an off ence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use
within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt"
appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally
apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a
list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes
made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993
by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in
Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list
by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory
Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural Aff airs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.

Act can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-
area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the
Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of
smoke control areas and you can contact them for details
of Clean Air Act requirements.
The Jøtul I 520 F, Jøtul I 520 FR, Jøtul I 520 FL and Jøtul
I 520 FRL have been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning wood logs.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
•
The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1a and fi g. 1b.
•
Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are not
too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should not
be placed within 1 metre of the fi replace.
•
Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
4
•
The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
•
Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-fl ammable container.
•
Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
•
Close all hatches and vents.
•
Keep the fi rebox door closed.
•
Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
•
Call the fi re service.
Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace and
the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
4.0 Installation
The Jøtul I 520 can be installed in a prefabricated surround,
brick surround and pre-existing open fi replace (hearth).
If installing in a prefabricated surround, follow the instruction
manual for the surround. NB! The product cannot be placed
directly in a corner if the convection air outlet is towards
the ceiling (see fi g. 1f).
If building a brick surround, the leg rack (optional, item no.
51044759) must be used. See Fig. 1 e and f.
If placing inside a pre-existing, code-compliant masonry
fi replace, it must also satisfy the requirements for the insert
surround, regarding installation against combustible materials
and air vents. See Fig. 1 c, d, e, and f.
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the fl oor is strong enough for the fi replace. See
«2.0 Technical data» for weights.
Combustible fl oor protection
If the fi replace is to be mounted on a combustible fl oor, cover
the fl oor under and in front of the fi replace with a plate of metal
or other non- combustible material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0,9 mm. The minimum distance between the fl oor
and the frame can not be less than 428mm (see Fig. 1f).
It is recommended that fl ooring which is not fastened to the
foundations – so-called fl oating fl ooring – is removed during
installation.
Jøtul recommends that any fl ooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets, etc. should be removed
from under the fl oor plate.
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
