JØTUL FIRELIGHT CB WOODSTOVE
When installing, ope ating and maintaining you Jøtul
Fi elight CB woodstove, follow the guidelines p esented
in these inst uctions, and make them available to
anyone using o se vicing the stove.
A numbe of a eas equi e a building pe mit to install
a solid fuel bu ning appliance. In the U.S., the National
Fi e P otection Associations Code, NFPA 211,
Standards for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, o simila egulations,
may apply to the installation of a solid fuel bu ning
appliance in you a ea.
In Canada, the guideline is established by the CSA
Standa d, CAN/CSA-B365-M93, Installation Code
for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
Always consult you local building inspecto o
autho ity having ju isdiction to dete mine what
egulations apply in you a ea.

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.
TOP OR REAR EXIT FLUE
The Fi elight CB is shipped with the flue colla , gasketing
and ha dwa e inside the stove. To install the flue colla
in the top o ea exit position emove the tape f om the
gasketing and adhe e to the g oove on the back of the
stove a ound the flue opening. Place the flue colla on
the stove in the top o ea exit position and secu e with
the nut, bolt and washe . The nut and washe a e placed
on the inside of the stove.
STOVE PIPE
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connecto is a single walled pipe used to
connect the stove to the chimney. Fo use with the
Fi elight CB the chimney connecto MUST be 6 in
diamete , with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge black
steel.
Aluminum and Galvanized steel pipe is not acceptable
fo use with the Fi elight CB. These mate ials cannot
withstand the ext eme tempe atu es of a wood fi e and
can give off toxic fumes when heated.
Do not use the connector i e as a chimney.
Each chimney connecto o stove pipe section must be
installed to the stove flue colla and to each othe with
the male (c imped) end towa d the stove. See figure 1.
Fo the best pe fo mance the chimney connecto should
be as sho t and di ect as possible, with no mo e than two
90° elbows. The maximum ho izontal un is 36 and a
ecommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed
10 feet. Always slope ho izontal uns upwa d ¼ pe
foot towa d the chimney.
No pa t of the chimney connecto may pass th ough an
attic o oof space, closet o othe concealed space, o
th ough a floo o ceiling. All sections of the chimney
connecto s must be accessible fo cleaning. Whe e
passage th ough a wall o pa tition of combustible
const uction is desi ed, the installation must confo m with
NFPA 211 o CAN/CSA-B365, and is also add essed in
this manual.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
CHIMNEYS:
The e a e two types of chimneys suitable fo the
Fi elight CB:
1. A code- app oved mason y chimney with a flue
line .
2. A p efab icated chimney complying with the
equi ements fo Type HT (2100°F) chimneys
pe UL 103 o ULC S629.
This p events any amount of condensed o liquid c eosote
f om unning down the outside of the pipe o the stove
top. All joints, including the flue colla connection must
be secu ed with th ee sheet metal sc ews to ensu e that
the sections do not sepa ate.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
Reminder:
You local officials have final autho ity in dete mining
if a p oposed installation is acceptable. Any
equi ement, that is equested by the local autho ity
having ju isdiction, that is not specifically add essed
in THIS manual, defaults to NFPA 211, and local
codes in the U.S. o in Canada, CAN/CSA-B365-M
and local codes.

Prefabricated Chimneys
If a p efab icated metal chimney is to be used it must be
a chimney type that is tested and listed fo use with solid
fuel burning a liances.
That means a chimney that is tested to the following:
High Tempe atu e (HT) Chimney Standa d UL 103 fo
the U.S. and High Tempe atu e Standa d ULC
S-629 fo Canada.
The manufactu e s installation inst uctions must be
followed p ecisely. Always maintain the p ope
clea ance to combustibles as established by the pipe
manufactu e . This clea ance is usually a minimum of
2, although it may va y by manufactu e o fo ce tain
chimney components.
Chimney Height
Whethe a mason y chimney o p efab icated metal
chimney is used it must be the equi ed height above the
oof line.
The chimney size should not be less than the c oss-
sectional a ea of the flue colla , and not mo e than th ee
times g eate than the c oss-sectional a ea of the flue
colla .
When selecting a chimney type and the location fo the
chimney in the house, keep this in mind: it is the chimney
that makes the stove wo k, NOT the stove that makes
the chimney wo k. This is because a chimney actually
c eates a suction, called d aft, which pulls ai th ough
the stove.
Seve al facto s affect d aft: chimney height, c oss-
sectional a ea (size), and tempe atu e of the chimney,
as well as the p oximity of su ounding t ees o buildings.
As a esult, a sho t mason y chimney on the exte io of
a house will give the poo est pe fo mance. This is
because it can be ve y difficult to wa m the chimney
the eby c eating inadequate d aft. In ext emely cold
no the n a eas it may be necessa y to eline the chimney
o extend its height to help establish d aft.
Conve sely, a tall mason y chimney inside the house is
easie to keep wa m and will pe fo m the best.
The following guidelines give the necessa y chimney
equi ements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA
211fo the US. And CSA CAN-B365 fo Canada).
Howeve , many local codes diffe f om the national code
to take into account climate, altitude, o othe facto s.
Masonry Chimneys
When installing the Fi elight CB into a mason y chimney
you must confo m to all of the following guidelines:
· The mason y chimney must have a fi eclay line o
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8 and must
be installed with ef acto y mo ta . The e must be at
least ½ ai space between the flue line and chimney
wall.
5
· The fi eclay flue line must have a nominal size of
8 X 8, and should not be la ge than 8 X 12. If a
ound fi eclay line is to be used it must have a minimum
inside diamete of 6 and not la ge than 8 in diamete .
If a chimney with la ge dimensions is to be used, it should
be elined with an app op iate line that is code app oved.
· The mason y wall of the chimney, if b ick o modula
block, must be a minimum of 4 nominal thickness. A
mountain o ubble stone wall must be at least 12 thick.
· A newly-built chimney must confo m to local codes
and in thei absence must ecognize national egulations.
· When using an existing chimney, it must be inspected
by a licensed p ofessional chimney sweep, fi e official,
o code office , to ensu e that the chimney is in p ope
wo king o de .
· No othe appliance can be vented into the same flue.
· An ai tight clean-out doo should be located at the
base of the chimney.
It is important that you check with your local
building officials to find out what codes apply in
your area before installing your new Firelight
CB.
Remember: your local inspector(s) ha e the final
authority in appro ing your installation. It is
always best to consult with them prior to the
installation.
