1, GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
''i .1. Jotul's Coal Stove no 507 I is a cast iron heater, de-
signed for use of coal or wood as fuel.
1.2. The unit operates according to the vertical combus-
tion principle and has a turnable built'in grate ine the
botiom of the combusticn chamber' The luel is
burning on top of the grate and as the fuel is con'
sumed, new f uel is added by gravity to the combustion
zone. The ashes fall down through the grate and into
the ash drawer.
1.3. The unit has three doors. Fresh luel is added to the
unit through the upper door. The unit is ignited and
the grate is cleaned through the middle door. Ashes
a!'e removed by the ash drawer which is positioned
behind the lower door. The two upper doors
are operated by the loose handle wh;ch aiso is used
for cranking the grate and removing the ash pan.
1.4. The unit has two air inlet valves, one in the lower
door and one in the upper door. Primary coll'ibustion
air is fed to the combustion chamber through the
lovrer air valve. Secondary air is added through the
upper valve.
1.5. lt is important thal the unit is used according to these
instructions, and that the unit is operaled at low lleat
outPut until some operational experience has been
' gained bef ore running it at higher perlormance'
lnexperienced operation at high power may lead to
blistering and cracking of the enamel'
1.6. When inslalling, operaling and mainlaining this
heather, please lollow the guide'lines given i these
insiructions. Save these insttuclions and keep them
so lhat they are always available lor everybody using
the heater.
2. HAZARDS CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF CLOSED
ROOM HEATERS
2.1 . Any use of f ire, also in connection with closed room
heaiers represents a certain danger.
2.2. With intense firing, the temperature of the cast iron
can exceed 500"C (932'F). The following faclors must
aiways be considered.
a. The heater should not be installed in parts oi the
room where there is a lot of traFf ic.
b. Loose inllammable material musl be kept a safe
distance f rom the heater, i.e. minimum 90 cm (36").
c. Children musi be taught that the heater is hot and
.A
must not be touched.
cJ. Clothes must not be drieC over the heater' Tney
can falldown and be ignited.
e. The heater must be installed according to the
. instruclions given by Joiul inc.
f . The heater must be used and maintained tn accor-
dance urrth these inslructions.
Never use the heater if there are combustible gases
in the room.
Provide a source oi fresh air into room. Poisonous
gases can come out irrto the room if ior example the
ventilation system creates a lou/ pressure in the room
where the heater is pla.:ed.
Make sure that sparks and embers don t get out of
the heaier when the dcors are opened.
Be aware that even if the ashes look coid, there rrtighl
still be sorne t,urning embers left. Avoid placing the
ashcs close to conlb'.Js'tibla matrl.i?ls hefore yoLr are
positive that all burning embers are out.
2.7. Do not use the heater vrith open doors, The healer can
then be overheated.
The healer, chimney connector and chimney must be
inspected and cleaned frequently.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Rernoval.
When wood or coal is burned slowly. it prociuces tar
and ot'rer orginic vapors, which. combine v,/ith ex'
pelled moisture to f or'm creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney f lue of
a slowburning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue Iining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The risk ol
creosote formation is larger with wood than vrith coal.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected al least twice mouthly during the heating
season lo determine it a creosote buildup has
occurred.
lf creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney f ire.
2.10. Utiiize coal and wocd as the only fuels, and never
liquid fuels.
Liquid fuel utilized in a heater for solid fuei can result
in an explosion and lire.
Never use gasoline, gasoiine'type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter f luid or similar liquids to
start or "freshen up" a flre in this heater. Keep all
such liquids well away from the heater u/hile it is in
' use.
Never use or store flammable'lrquids, especially
gasoline in the vicinity of the heater.

4.5. General
The venl opening wich is needed to have the unit burn
overnight is lound by your own experience and is
dependent on your installalion and draf t condilions'
The ashes are shaken every morning anC evening. The
ash drawer is emptied once every 24 hours. On very
cold days when the unit is operating at high power, it
might be necessary to empty lhe drawer eve(y 12
hours lo prevent ashes from building up to the turn-
able giate. This might lead lo excessive temperatures
and damaging of the grate. Do not leave the unit
burning with any doors open. This will lead to over'
heating.
4.6. During the lirsl lew limes you use a new heater, lhe
heater may become somewhat damp' ln order lo
prevent lhis condensale from running down the face
ot lhe heater, open lhe door slighlly during lhe lirst
liring. As soon as the heater is warm, this condensate
will evaporale and the door may be closed.
On enamelled heaters, the condensate should be
wiped otf immediately as it may permanently stain or
pit the surface.
5. SWEEPING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1. When wood and coal burns, soot and creosote may
develop and could, together with incombustlble
particles settle in the chimney and the chimney
conneclor. It this deposit increases, it will be
necessary lo have it removed. This ought lo be done
by sweeping lhe chimney and chimney conneclor
regularly. How often depends on the use of the
heater. As a rule, the chimney and the chimney con-
nector should be swept at least once a year.
lf the chimney and the chimney connector are not
swept regularly, a chimney should be inspected by
prof essionals bef cre it is taken into use again.
5.2. The room heater may burn "continously" (day and
nightj even on small loads, Should pitch develop
during such continous burning, the healer should be
lired intensely at regular inlervais.
This repeated a few days in succession will burn away
possible pitch.
5.3. To give the maxlmum amount of heat, the heater and
the chimney connector should be sv/ept regularly.
Figure 2 'llustrates how the heater should be swept.
By removing the top lid and opening all doors
BAFFLE
sweeping can easily be carried out everywhere in the
heater. The f ront grate behind the middle cioor can be
removed by using the crank as a handle.
ls is vital lor a proper functioning ot the unit that lhe
botlom grate is removed and cleaned. This should be
checked each tinre before a lire is started' lt is loose
and will easily pass lhrough the top door. Be certain
that lhe grate is properly installed af ler cieaning, and'
that il turns easily when applying lhe crank.
When sweeping the chimney connector it may be
convenient to disconnect the heater. The chimney
connector must be cleaned in its f ull length to assure
a safe removal of all soot and creosote which have
condensed on the inner surfaces.
Be sure to install the chimney connector properiy
af ter sweeping and secure it with the screws.
5.4. Disposal of ashes.
Ashes are removed by using the ash pan which is
located in the space behind the ash door. Open the
ash door with the loose handle and use the same
handle for rernoving the ash pan. Do not leave the ash
door open when the unit is burning,
Ashes should be placed in a melal container wilh a
tight f itting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed away from all combustible materials,
pencling final disposal. lf the ashes are dlsposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughlY cooled.
5.5. Maintenance
We recommend that you inspect your heater when-
' ever sweeping is performed. Check all visible leaks
anC check the gasket in the cloors and on the top lid'
Loose gaskels may be f ixed by applying some water
glass (sodirn silicate) in the slot.
When burning the unit for long periods at a high
porver, the f rcnt grate behind the middle door might
become damaged af ter a period of time' lf this part is
dilf icult to remove, or is stuck, it should be replaced
by a new one, wich can be obtained through your
dealer. (Cat. no. 10 06 29). This part is a coal stove
grate and the cost is not covered by your warranty'
lf a mechanical f ailure is noticed, p!ease contact your
local dealer.
