NOTE:It is normal for a new,painted stove to emit
odor and smoke during initial fires, depending
upon temperatures over time. This is caused
by the curing of high temperature paint and
manufacturing materials. This condition can
be alleviated by opening a window or door to
provide additional ventilation. See Break-in
Procedure on page 9 for details.

When installing, operating and maintaining your
Jøtul F 500 woodstove, follow the guidelines presented in
these instructions, and make them available to anyone using or
servicing the stove.
Your city,town, county or province may 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.
See Sect. 5.0 of this manual for important information
regarding the safe, proper, and most efficient operation
of your stove.
Safety Notices
• BURN SOLID,NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. DO NOT BURN ANY
OTHER FUEL.
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE. DO NOT
BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FUELS.
• DO NOT USE A GRATE OR ELEVATE THE FIRE. BUILD THE FIRE
DIRECTLY ON THE HEARTH.
• IF THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED,A HOUSE
FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY
INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC-
TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
YOUR AREA.
• ANY EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM MUST BE INSPECTED BEFORE
INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
• EXTREMELY HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING,AND FURNITURE AWAY.CONTACTWILL CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.USE A CHILD GUARD SCREEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
CONTACT BY SMALL CHILDREN.
• INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE LIVING AREA AND BED-
ROOMS OF YOUR HOME.TESTTHEM REGULARLY AND INSTALL
FRESH BATTERIES TWICE ANNUALLY.
WHEN INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM ASTHE STOVE,A SMOKE
OR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SHOULD BE LOCATED AS
FAR FROM THE STOVE AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THE ALARM
SOUNDING WHEN ADDING FUEL.
• Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the room where
the stove is operating.Be aware that operation of an exhaust
fan or clothes dryer can create a low pressure area and conse-
quently promote flow reversal through the stove and chimney
system. In some cases, the optional Outside Air Kit #154335
can be used to alleviate this condition.The chimney and build-
ing, however,always work together as a system - provision of
outside air,directly or indirectly to an atmospherically vented
appliance will not guarantee proper chimney performance.
Consult your local Jøtul authorized dealer regarding specific
installation/performance issues.
• Jøtul strongly recommends that this stove be installed by
a professional solid fuel technician, or that you consult one
if you do the work yourself. Also, consult your insurance
company regarding any other specific requirements.

1.0 Installation
1.1 Assembly before Installation
The Jøtul F 500 is shipped with the flue collar, gasketing and
hardware inside the stove.
• 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.
• Take out the ash lips,which are inside the burn chamber, and
install. The one in front is placed loosely on top of the base
plate, while the side ash lip is fastened with the screw that
is pre-installed on the base plate.
2.0 Chimney and Chimney
Connector
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used
to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with the
Jøtul F 500, the chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) in
diameter, with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black steel.
Attach the flue collar to the chimney connection using 2 self-
drilling screws found in the miscellaneous kit.
• Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable for use
with the Jøtul F 500. 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.
• For the best performance the chimney connector should be
as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90°
elbows.
• Themaximumhorizontalrunis36”(915mm)andarecommended
total length of stove pipe should not exceed 10 feet.
• Always slope horizontal runs upward 1/4” (6,35mm) 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-B365, and is also addressed in this
manual.
• Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing another
appliance.
2.1 Chimney Requirements
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the
Jøtul F 500:
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.
An existing chimney system must pass a UL 1482 Level II
inspection conducted by a qualified technician or building official.
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.
Conversely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house is easier to
keep warm and will perform the best.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimneyrequirements
based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA 211for the US. And CSA
CAN-B365 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 Jøtul F 500.
Remember: Your local inspector(s) have the final authority in
approving your installation.It is always best to consult with them
prior to the installation.
2.2 Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 into a masonry chimney you must
conform to all of the following guidelines:
• The chimney flue size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the stove flue collar.
• The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with no walls
exposed to the outside below the roofline shall not be more
than three times the cross-sectional area of the stove flue
collar.
• The cross-sectional area of the flue of a chimney with one or
more walls exposed to the outside below the roofline shall
not be more than two times the cross-sectional area of the
stove flue collar.
• Larger chimney flues should be relined with a listed or code
approved liner.
• The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner or equivalent,

5
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (16mm) and must be
installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least 1/4”
(6,35mm) 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”
(157mm) and not larger than 8” (208mm) 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”(106mm) nominal thickness. A
mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12” (310mm)
thick.
• A newly-built chimney must conform to local codes and in
their absence must recognize national regulations. W h e n
using an existing chimney, it must be inspected by a licensed
professional 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.
2.3 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.
That means a chimney that is tested to the following:
HighTemperature (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”(56mm), although it may vary by manufacturer
or for certain chimney components.
2.4 Chimney Height
The minimum chimney height is 15 feet (4.57 m). The chimney
must also 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.
2.5 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” (310mm) around the chimney
connectors proposed location. With a 6” (157mm)round liner
the minimum area required would be 31” x 31” (792x792mm)
square.
• The space is then filled with at least 12”(310mm)of brick around
a fireclay liner. Remember, the liner must be ASTM C35 or
equivalent, with a minimum wall thickness of 5/8” (16mm).
• It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at
least 18”(457mm) 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 1/4 “ (83mm) thick (4” (106mm) 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 4.
In Canada
In 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.
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” (157mm) round liner the minimum
area required would be 43” x 43” square (1092x1092mm).
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through at least
18” (457mm) 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”(25,4mm) from the wall. If one panel of sheet metal is to be
used it may be installed flush to the wall.

6
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
3.3 Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the Jøtul F 500 to a prefabricated metal chimney
always follow the pipe manufacture’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 figure 7.
4.0 Clearances to
Combustibles
4.1 Floor Protection
Floor protection under the stove must be composed of continuous
non-combustible materials for protection from sparks and
embers. Install the supplied bottom heatshield. Alcove
installations also require a minimum R-value of 1.6 for thermal
protection.
Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared together
to prevent sparks from falling through to combustible materials.
Any carpeting must be removed from under the floor protection.
In the U.S. and Canada
The Jøtul F 500 must be installed on a non-combustible surface
extending:
A minimum of 18”(457mm) in front of the stove and the left side
load door (measured from the legs).
And 8” (200mm) on the right side and back of the stove
(measured from side and back panels).
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
54.25”W X 50,5”D (1378mm x 1283mm). 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.
Alternate hearth protection
A hearth pad measuring 46”wide X 50,5” deep (1168mmx1283mm)
can be used only if the left side door is locked to prevent use. Door
Lock Kit #155850 is available for this purpose.
4.2 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 500.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you must
maintain when installing the Jøtul F 500 near combustible
surfaces. See pages 17-18.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock,
wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to
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.
3.0 Connecting to the Chimney
3.1 Masonry Chimney Thimbles
When installing a Jøtul F 500 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 5.
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.
3.2 Hearthmount Into a Masonry Fireplace
The Jøtul F 500 has a rear exit flue collar height of 28 1/4” (718
mm) when installed with standard legs. Substitution of Short
Legs will lower the height to 26” (660 mm).
When installing the Jøtul F 500 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 6.
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.

7
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
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. Contact your local building officials about
restrictions and installation requirements in your area.
Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible;
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also “Fire-rated” sheet
rock is also considered combustible.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce the connector
clearance to combustibles, it must start 1”(25,4mm) above the
lowest exposed point of the connect pipe and extend vertically
a minimum of 25” (635mm) 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.
Rear Heatshield: A stove rear heatshield has been specifically
designed for the Jøtul F 500.
Rear heatshield part # 154332.
No other heat shield may be used.
See pages 17-18 for complete clearance requirements and
diagrams.
Notice
Accessories for wood stoves 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. Follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Always contact your local building inspector or fire officials
about restriction and requirements in your area. Your local
officials have final authority for installation approval.
4.3 Alcove Installation
The Jøtul F 500 can be installed in an alcove situation provided:
See figures 9 and 10.
1. The stove must be installed with listed double walled 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”(24,5mm) from the floor and
at least 1” (24,5mm)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”(1219mm).
4. The bottom heatshield is required in all Alcove installations.
See page 15 for installation instructions.
5. Hearth protection material must consist of:
a) a UL/ULC listed Type II Thermal Floor Protector or,
b) material having a minimum r value of 1.6 (see appendix a).
6. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation, off the
top of the stove is 41”(1041 mm). The minimum ceiling height
off the top of the stove in a protected ceiling installation is
15”(380mm).
Use of the left side load door is prohibited in alcove installations.
Install 155840 Side Door Lock kit available from your dealer.
4.5 Mobile Home Installations
The Jøtul F 500 has been approved for use in mobile homes in the
U.S. and Canada, provided:
1. The stove is secured to the floor or the mobile home. Floor
mounting kit #750304. The structural integrity of the mobile
home must be maintained.
2. All chimney components, including chimney sections, supports,
spark arrestor, etc., shall comply with the Standard for Factory-
built Chimneys for Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliances, UL 103 and/or CAN/ULC-S629 Standard for 650°C
Factory-built Chimneys.
3. The chimney shall be attached directly to the stove and extend
at least 3 ft. (0.9m) above the roof. Termination must be at
least 2 ft. (0.6m) above the hightest elevation of any part of
the mobile home within 10 ft. (3m).
4. In order to allow for transportation of the mobile home, the
chimney termination shall be readily removed at or below an
elevation of 13.5 ft. (4.1 m) above ground level and reinstalled
without use of special tools or instructions.
5. A spark arrester must be installed at the termination. The net
free area of the arrester above the chimney outlet must not
be less than four times the net area of the chimney outlet,
and the vertical height of the arrester must not be less than
one-half the diameter of the chimney flue. Openings shall not
permit the passage of a sphere having a diameter larger than
1/2” (12.7 mm), and shall permit the passage of a sphere having
a diameter of 3/8” (9.6 mm).
6. Direct connection of the stove to an outside air source is
required. Use Outside Air Kit 154333. Do not substitute any other
connection method or device. See page 11 for more details. Duct
termination must not be installed at a level that is higher than
the air inlet located at the bottom of the stove.
7. When the chimney exits the mobile home at a location
other than through the roof, and exits at a point 7 ft. (2.1 m)
or less above the ground level, a guard or other method of
enclosing the chimney, must be provided at the point of
exit for a height up to 7 ft. Openings of this chimney guard
shall not permit penetration of a 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) diameter
rod, or contact with the chimney by a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
diameter rod inserted through the opening a distance of
4 inches (102 mm).
DO NOT INSTALL THE STOVE IN A BEDROOM OR SLEEPING AREA.
Always consult your local building inspector or fire officials
about restrictions and requirements in your area prior to
installing the stove.

5.0 Operation
Please read the following section completely before
building a fire in your new Jøtul F 500.
5.1 Combustion Efficiency
The Jøtul F 500 has an EPA tested High Heating Value
(HHV) efficiency rate of 73.94. There are, however,
aspects of efficiency that you should be aware of
in order to get the most from your stove. Operation
habits and fuel moisture can have a significant
effect on efficiency. Poorly seasoned wood having a
higher than optimum moisture content, can reduce
the amount of energy transferred to the living area
as a result of the energy expended to evaporate
the excess fuel moisture in order for the wood to
burn. Operational habits - such as not building a
robust kindling fire to readily ignite the larger fuel
pieces - can result in an inefficient, smoldering fire.
Additionally, most modern wood heaters’ optimum
performance and efficiency are at the medium to
medium-low burn rates.
The location of the stove can also have a significant
effect on heating efficiency, primarily in regard to
distribution of the heat. For example, a wood heater
centrally located in an open living area, will likely
provide better circulation of heat than will a stove
located in a room adjacent to the larger living area.
5.2 Minimize Carbon Monoxide Emissions
Testing the F 500 to CSA B414.1-10 resulted in a carbon
monoxide emission rate of 112.22 grams per hour.
There are aspects of CO generation that you should
be aware of. Most all means of combustion produce
CO, including wood fires. You can greatly reduce CO
levels by maintaining a well-established fire and
avoiding operation that produces a smouldering,
smoky fire.We highly recommend that a CO monitor
(detector) be installed in the same room as the stove.
The monitor should be located as far away as possible
from the stove to avoid alerts when the doors are
opened.
5.3 Wood Fuel and Performance
The F 500 is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air-dried,seasoned hardwoods,
as opposed to softwoods, green or freshly cut
hardwoods.Wood that has been air-dried for a period
of 6 to 14 months will provide the cleanest, most
efficient heat.Wood seasoned more than 2 years will
burn too quickly to take advantage of the stove’s low
end efficiency strength.
A seasoned log will have check marks on the ends
and be lighter than an unseasoned log which will
show little or no check marks.
We recommend using a moisture meter to
determine the moisture content of your wood. For
purposes of home heating, your fuel should have
a moisture content between 12 - 20%. Wood with
higher moisture content will burn, however, very
inefficiently. Most of its heat value will be lost to
driving water out of the wood. Worse, that moisture
will condense as creosote in the relatively cool
chimney flue, increasing the potential for a chimney
fire.Use of unseasoned wood defeats the purpose of
any modern wood-burning stove.
DO NOT BURN:
• Coal;
• Garbage;
• Synthetic fuel or logs;
• Material containg rubber, including tires;
• Material containing plastics;
• Waste petroleum products,asphalt products,paints,
paint thinners or solvents;
• Materials containing asbestos;
• Construction or demolitioin debris;
• Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
• Manure or animal remains;
• Salt water driftwood or other previously salt-water;
saturated materials;
• Unseasoned wood; or
• Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particle
board. (The prohibition against burning these
materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters
made from paper,cardboard,saw dust,wax or similar
substances for the purpose of starting a fire.)

9
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
The burning of any of these materials can result in the
release of toxic fumes,or render the heater ineffective
and cause smoke.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.
NOTE: Avoid letting logs rest directly on the glass
panel. The logs should be spaced off of the glass
enough to allow for proper air flow within the firebox.
5.4 Air Flow and Control
Your F 500 is designed to support efficient combustion and heat
transfer by directing air through the stove in two
separatechannels;PrimaryandSecondary. Seefigure11.
Primary air is manually regulated by a lever and valve
at the front of the stove. The valve position controls
the volume of primary air entering the firebox and
thereby affects fire intensity, heat output and burn
time. Primary air is directed to the main body of
the fire through air ports at the front of the stove.
Separate manifolds at each side also deliver pre-
heated primary air at top of front plate to create an
’air-wash” to help keep the viewing glass clean.
Secondary air allows combustion of volatile gas
and other by-products of primary combustion that
would otherwise enter the atmosphere unburned.
This unregulated air is preheated as it passes over
the back of the stove and through a stainless steel
manifold at the top of the firebox. This additional
hot oxygen allows any unburned gasses to be burned
inside the stove.The action of secondary combustion
can be readily seen through the viewing glass a slow,
rolling flames suspended over the main fuel bed and
smaller jets of flame extending from the secondary
manifold ports. At the same time, no smoke will be
observed exiting the chimney. This is evidence that
the stove is operating at the so-called ”sweet-spot”
wherein optimum efficiency is realized.
When first starting or reviving the fire: the primary
control lever should be set to the far right position,
which permits the maximum amount of air into the
stove. The greater the amount of air entering the
stove,the hotter and faster the fire will burn.Moving
the lever to the left reduces the airflow into the stove
which prolongs the fire at a lower heat output. See
figure 11.
Use a Stove-top Thermometer
Determining the primary air setting for the best
overall performance for your particular needs and
installation will be established over time through trial
and error.Each installation has unique characteristics
that will affect stove performance. You should use
a stove-top thermometer to monitor the status
of the fire. Place the thermometer on the stove
top, centered two one side or the other. See fig. 12.
Generally speaking, once the stove temperature has
reached 400°F - 600°F, the air control may be set in
a mid-range position to allow adequate oxygen to
support efficient combustion throughout the burn
cycle.
5.5 Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 500 is constructed of cast iron and stove
furnace cement. Cast iron, while very durable,
expands and contracts as it is heated and cooled.
This type of construction requires the stove to be
“broken-in”gradually so that thermal expansion does
not occur too quickly. The following steps describe
the proper break-in procedure for the Jøtul F 500 CB:
1. Light a small fire of newspaper and kindling.
Only allow the stove to reach a maximum
surface temperature of 200°F (93° C). Burn for
approximately 1 hour.
2. Allow the stove to cool to room temperature.
3. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a
maximum temperature of 300°F (149°C) 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°F (204°C).
6. Cool stove to room temperature. This completes
the “break-in” procedure.

10
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
NOTE: Keep the stove under 400°F (204°C) surface
temperature during any “break-in fire”, with
the exception of the last “break-in” fire. If the
temperature exceeds 400°F, move the primary air
control lever all the way to the left to shut off the
air supply completely. It is normal that the stove top
temperature will continue to climb until the fuel
burns down somewhat. Once the fire is out and the
stove has cooled to room temperature, continue the
break-in procedure. Never attempt to reduce the
temperature by removing burning logs from the fire.
5.6 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.
• WARNING: THE ASH PAN DOOR MUST ALWAYS
BE SECURELY CLOSED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN
BURNING. OPERATING THE STOVE WITH THE ASH
DOOR OPEN WILL PROMOTE UNEVEN THERMAL
EXPANSION AND CAN RESULT IN DAMAGETO THE
STOVE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Traditional Fire Building
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open
position (to the right), 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.
2. 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 hot fire that might damage the stove.
3. Once the stove has reached a surface temperature
range of between 400° and 600°, (204°C -316°C),
adjust the primary air control lever as necessary to
generate the heat output and burn time desired.
Jøtul recommends 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° (204°C -316°C). for the best locations to
place a stove-top thermometer.
Top-Down Fire Building - See fig. 14.
Many people find this method to be superior to the
traditional method.
1. With the primary air control lever in the full open
position (to the right),place two short 1/4-split logs
on the firebox floor,perpendicular to the rear wall,
about 6 inches apart.
2. Place kindling across the base logs.
3. Place one or two smaller logs on top of the
kindling.
4. Place newspaper between the two bottom logs
under the kindling.Light the news paper and close
the door. Continue to add kindling and small logs
as necessary to build the fire. Keep the air control
fully open until the fire is well-established.
WARNING: DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS HEATER.
IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY
CONNECTOR GLOWS,YOU ARE OVER-FIRING.
A HOUSE FIRE OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE STOVE
OR CHIMNEY COULD RESULT.
NOTE: It is normal for a new, painted
stove to emit odor and visible smoke
during the break-in period fires. This is
caused by the high temperature paint curing and
will diminish with each fire. Opening a window
or door to provide additional ventilation will
alleviate this condition.
We recommend you do the following BEFORE
operating the appliance for the first time:
1. Ventilate: Open doors and windows and use
a fan to circulate fresh air throughout the room.
2. Vacate: The fumes are non-toxic, but can
be uncomfortable for babies, small children,
pregnant women, the elderly, pets, or anyone
having breathing difficulties.

11
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed of hot
embers still exists, 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 and away from the air inlet ports at the
front center of the firebox floor.
• 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).
6.0 Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your stove and
ensure satisfactory performance.
6.1 Annual Stove Inspection
• 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 seams. Use a utility light to inspect the
stove inside and out for cracks or leaks. Replace all cracked
parts and repair any cement leaks with furnace cement. For
your protection always wear safety gloves when handling
the ash pan.
6.2 Ash removal
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F 500 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 ashlip of the stove.
To open the ash door, rotate the door knob counterclockwise to
unlatch the door and clockwise to latch the door. Always use
stove gloves when handling the ash pan.
When the stove is in operation always close the ash 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.Only use a vacuum for this job if the vacuum
is specifically designed for ashes.
It is advisable to keep a thin (1”) bed of ashes on the firebox floor
to help maintain a hot charcoal be.
ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT
EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT
IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
Creosote and Soot Formation and
the Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. These creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow
burning fire. The creosote that accumulates in the
flue is highly flammable and is the fuel of chimney
fires. To prevent a chimney fire, the creosote needs
to be removed by sweeping the chimney and flue
connector. The frequency of sweeping will depend
on how you operate your stove. An accumulation
of 1/4” or more on the sides of the flue or connector
is considered hazardous and should be removed.
In the event that creosote in your chimney or
flue connector ignites, the resulting fire is often
accompanied by a roaring noise and a crackling sound
as flakes of burned creosote break loose.lf you suspect
you are having a chimney fire, immediately close the
primary air control and make sure the stove door is
closed. Call the fire department and get everyone
safely out of the house.
Trying to extinguish the fire in the stove will not help.
In fact it can make the matter worse by allowing more
oxygen through the door,which then accellerates the
fire in the chimney. When the roaring and crackling
has stopped, you should resist the temptation to
open the door and look at the fire.The fire may have
suffocated, but could rekindle when you open the
door. After a chimney fire,do not use your stove until
the chimney and the flue connector has been cleaned
and inspected to ensure that no damage has occured.
5.7 Adding Fuel

12
139681_R06 F 500 Oslo 1/20
6.5 Glass Care
Cleaning
On occasion it will be necessary to clean carbon and
fly ash off of the glass. If allowed to remain on the
glass for an extended period of time, these deposits
could eventually cause the glass to become etched
and cloudy. Any creosote that may develop on the
glass will burn off during the next hot fire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT GLASS.
CLEAN GLASS ONLY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
6.6 Glass Replacement
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 door.
3. Gently remove all pieces of 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. Important: Gradually tighten the glass clips in
an alternating pattern as you would tighten the
lugs on an automobile wheel. See figure 13.
6.7 Gaskets
Check door and glass panel gaskets for tightness. To
check the seal of the front door, close and latch the
door on a dollar bill and slowly try to pull the dollar bill
free. If it can be easily removed, the seal is too loose.
Check several spots around the door, and repeat the
procedure on the ash pan door as well.
Gasket Replacement
1. Use pliers and a putty knife to remove the old
gasket from the door.
2. Thoroughly clean the channel with a wire brush.
3. Apply a small bead of cement to the channel.
4. Gently press the new gasket into the cement
to seat it in the channel. Close and latch
the door and then reopen. Wipe any excess
cement squeezed out from around the gasket.
Warning. Do not at any time, operate this stove
with the ash pan door open. This condition will
lead to overfiring and will damage the stove.
This damage is not covered under warranty. Only
empty the ash drawer before refueling, when the
fire is low or out. The ash door should be open
only long enough to empty the ash drawer and
then securely closed. Inspect the gasket on the
ash pan door regularly and replace as necessary.
6.3 Chimney System
The Jøtul F 500 is designed to burn cleanly and
efficiently when used according to the guidelines in
this manual. In order to maintain proper performance,
you should inspect the chimney and chimney
connector at the beginning of each heating season
and then every other month during the heating
season. Clean the chimney whenever creosote and
fly ash accumulation exceeds 1/4 inch in any part of
the system.
Chimney brushes are available from your local Jøtul
dealer or hardware supply store.Your dealer can also
refer you to a reputable,professional chimney sweep
who will have all the equipment to ensure a complete
and proper job. Failure to keep the chimney system
free of creosote and build-up could result in a serious
chimney fire.
6.4 Enamel Care
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL SUR-
FACES. Clean only cold enamel surfaces with a
soft damp cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.
Most stains can be removed with a solution of
baking soda and vinegar. Let this solution sit on
the stain for a minute or two before rubbing it
dry with a damp cloth. Organic cleaning com-
mercial cleaning solutions, such as Citra-Solv®,
can also be effective.
• DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS.
These can cause stains. Coffee, tea, and fruit ju-
cies will also cause stains.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH METAL OBJECTS. Trivets,
kettles, or pots, can damage the enamel.

for the Jøtul F 500.
Firescreen - 129172
The Jøtul F 500 has been approved for use as an
open fireplace, with front doors 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 over load 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 500 with the front
doors fully open and the firescreen in place or
fully closed. Partially opened doors may result in
overfiring. Also, if doors are left partly open, gas
and flame may be drawn out of the stove opening,
creating risks from both fire and smoke.
