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.

FIGURE 1
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.
NOTICE:

In Canada
In Canada the standa d has been established by the
Canadian Standa d Association. The installation must
confo m to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment.
Befo e p oceeding be su e to consult you local
building inspecto .
Common Method:
This method equi es the emoval of all combustible
mate ials f om at least 18 (457mm) a ound the
chimney connecto s p oposed location. With a 6
ound line the minimum a ea equi ed would be 43
x 43 squa e.
It is impo tant to emembe to locate the pass-th ough
at least 18 f om the ceiling to maintain the p ope
clea ance to combustibles.
Wall Pass-throughs
When you installation unavoidably equi es the
chimney connecto to pass th ough a combustible wall
to each the chimney, always consult you local
building officials, and be su e any mate ials to be used
have been tested and listed fo wall pass-th oughs.
In the U.S.
The National Fi e P otection Associations publication,
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances pe mits
fou methods fo passing th ough a combustible wall.
Befo e p oceeding with any method be su e to consult
with you local building officials to discuss any local
code equi ements.
The equi ement is:
The chimney must be at least 3 feet highe than the
highest point whe e it passes th ough the oof and at
least 2 feet highe than the highest pa t of the oof o
st uctu e that is within 10 feet of the chimney,
measu ed ho izontally. See figure 2.
Chimneys sho te than 14 feet may not p ovide
adequate d aft. This could esult is smoke spilling
into the oom f om the stove when loading the stove,
o when the doo is open. In addition, inadequate
d aft can cause back puffing, which is a build up of
gases inside the fi ebox.
Othe times, chimney height can c eate excessive
d aft which can cause high stove tempe atu es and
sho t bu n times. Excessive d afts can be co ected
by installing a butte fly dampe . If you suspect you
have a d aft p oblem, consult you deale .

FIGURE 2
Common Method:
When passing th ough a combustible wall to a
mason y chimney this method equi es the emoval
of all combustible mate ials f om at least 12 a ound
the chimney connecto s p oposed location. With a 6
ound line the minimum a ea equi ed would be 31
x 31 squa e.
The space is then filled with at least 12 of b ick
a ound a fi eclay line . Remembe , the line must be
ASTM C35 o equivalent, with a minimum wall
thickness of 5/8.
It is impo tant to emembe to locate the pass-th ough
at least 18 f om the ceiling fo p ope clea ance to
combustibles.
It will be necessa y to cut wall studs, install heade s,
and const uct a sill f ame to maintain the p ope
dimensions and to suppo t the weight of the b ick.
The b icks must be solid b ick with a minimum of
3 ½  thick (4 nominal).
Ref acto y mo ta must be used at the junction of the
chimney and the pass-th ough line . The pass-th ough
line must not penet ate the chimney line beyond the
inne su face of the chimney line . Use ext eme ca e
when const ucting the hole in the chimney line , the
tiles can shatte easily. See figure 3.

CONNECTING TO THE CHIMNEY:
Masonry Chimney Thimbles
When installing a Fi elight CB into a mason y chimney
th ough a thimble(the opening th ough the chimney
wall to the flue), the thimble must be lined with ce amic
tile o metal and be secu ely cemented in place.
The chimney connecto /stove pipe must slide
completely inside the thimble to the inne su face o
the flue line . It may be necessa y to make use of a
thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly smalle diamete
than standa d stove pipe). This special pipe can be
easily installed into a thimble. See figure 4.
Make su e the connecto pipe o thimble sleeve does
not p ot ude into the flue line , the eby est icting the
a ea the smoke has to flow th ough. This bottle-neck
will have a negative affect on the chimney system.
The space that is clea ed of combustible mate ials
must then emain empty. Sheet metal panels can then
be used to cove the a ea. Howeve , when using a
panel on both sides of the wall each cove must be
installed on noncombustible space s at least 1 f om
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.
The chimney connecto should be sealed at the thimble
with ef acto y cement and the stove pipe leading to
the stove should have a minimum of th ee sc ews.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS STOVE TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE OF ANY KIND.
Connector pipe shall
be flush with the
inside of the flue tile
Hearthmount into a Masonry Fire lace
The Fi elight CB may be installed into a mason y
fi eplace p ovided the height of the opening is a
minimum of 31.
When installing the Fi elight CB into a mason y
fi eplace, code equi es that the fi eplace dampe plate
be emoved o secu ely fixed in the open position. A
connecto pipe must then extend f om the stoves flue
exit th ough the dampe a ea of the fi eplace and into
the chimney tile line . See figure 5.
The inside a ea of the flue line must not be less than
the a ea of the stoves flue exit, and cannot be mo e
than th ee times g eate than the c oss sectional a ea
of the stoves flue exit.
If the chimney line is too la ge to accommodate the
stove, an app oved elining system must be installed
to esize the flue.
A new sheet metal dampe block-off plate must be
installed a ound the connecto pipe at the dampe
f ame and sealed with the p ope sealant (usually
High-Temp Silicone).

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:
Floor Protection
Floo p otection unde the stove must be const ucted of a
non-combustible mate ial fo p otection f om adiant heat,
spa ks, and embe s.
Individual sections of floo p otection must be mo ta ed
togethe to p event spa ks f om falling th ough to
combustible mate ials. Any ca peting must be emoved
f om unde the floo p otection.
In the U.S.and Canada
The Fi elight CB must be installed on a non-combustible
su face extending:
A minimum of 18 (460mm) in f ont of the stove and the
ight side load doo (measu ed f om the legs).
And 8 (200mm) on the left side and back of the stove
(measu ed f om side and back panels).
This will esult in a minimum floo p otection of
55W X 50D.
See figure 8.
In a ea vent installation the floo p otection must also
extend unde the stove pipe a minimum of 2 (50mm)
beyond eithe side of the pipe.
Fi eplace installation must also obse ve the p ope
clea ances to su ounding t im and mantels (add essed in
clea ance section of this manual). In addition, fi eplace
installations must also adhe e to the floo p otection
guidelines specified in the following section.
Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the Fi elight CB to a p efab icated metal
chimney always follow the pipe manufactu es inst uctions
and be su e to use the components that a e equi ed. This
usually includes some type of smoke pipe adapte  that

FIRELIGHT CB WOODSTOVE CLEARANCES

OPERATION:
Before building a fire in your new Firelight CB, please
read the following section carefully and completely.
Do Not Burn
This stove is designed to burn natural wood ONL . 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.
Controls on the Firelight CB
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
ashlip. 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
our new Firelight CB 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 Firelight:
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.
1. Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only,
only allow the stove to reach a maximum surface
temperature of 200°. Burn for approximately1 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.
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.
13
FIGURE 11
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.
Starting and Maintaining a Fire
REMEMBER:
BURN ONLY SOLID WOOD DIRECTLY ON THE BOTTOM GRATE OF
THE STOVE, DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE IN ANY WAY .
THE ASH PA N DOOR ON THE STOVE MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURELY CLOSED WHEN THE STOVE IS IN OPERATION.
BURNING THE STOVE WITH THE ASH PA N DOOR OPEN WILL
OVER-FIRE THE STOVE AND CAUSE INTERIOR DAMAGE.

MAINTENANCE:
Ash removal: Of course, for your rotection always
wear safety gloves when handling the ash an.
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on
how frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the
Fightlight CB 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 insert the pin on the end of
your specially designed ash tool into the hole on the ash
door latch. Rotate the door counterclockwise to unlatch
the door and clockwise to latch the door.
Remove 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.
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
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° to 600°. See figure
12 below for the optimum locations of a stove-top
thermometer.
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).

FIGURE 12
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.

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, should burn off during the next hot
fire.
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
1. Glass needs to be COMPLETEL 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.
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.
1. Remove the door 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. Center the new glass panel over the gasket and
reinstall the glass clips. See figure 13.
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.
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips
after the stove has burned and the gasketing
has been seated.

General Maintenance
Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life of
your stove. The following procedures do not take long
and are generally inexpensive, but when done consistently,
increase the life of your stove 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.
Right door requires - 5 of ¼ gasket
Left door requires - 7 of ¼ gasket
Right glass - 3 ½of 3/16 gasket
Left glass - 3 ½ of 3/16 gasket
Ash pan door - 3 of ¼ gasket
Right side load door - 4 ½ of ¼ gasket
The Firelight CB 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 is
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 Firelight CB. ONL USE ACCESSORIES
THAT ARE SPECIFICALL DESIGNED FOR THE
JØTUL FIRELIGHT CB.
Firescreen (part # 350169)
The Firelight CB 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 FIRELIGHT 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.
16
Outside Air Kit (part #154333)
In certain installations it may be necessary to provide
outside air to your Firelight CB 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.
The Outside Air Kit includes an adapter to mount onto
the stove that will accept the fresh air pipe. Installation
will require some additional materials:
a. the appropriate length of metallic pipe for a
conduit of the outside air (4 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 Firelight CB 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 (wind
less) 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 pro-
vided to the appliance by the following means:
1. Direct connection: the Firelight CB has been
tested and listed for use with an outside air kit
This outside air kit is connected directly to the
stove. Be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the kit.

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.
Rear Heatshield (part #154329)
A stove rear heatshield has been specifically designed
for the Firelight CB 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 11-12 for specific clearance
requirements. Complete installation instructions are
supplied with the heatshield. NO O HER YPE OF
HEA SHIELD MAY BE USED ON HE REAR OF HE
FIRELIGH CB.
Bottom Heatshield (part #154330)
A bottom heatshield has been specifically designed for
the Firelight CB. It is required in all alcove installations.
Use of the bottom heatshield DOES NOT affect the floor
protection requirements discribed on page 9 of this manual.
NO OTHER T PE OF HEATSHIELD MA BE USED
ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRELIGHT CB.
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°.
17
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.

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 system 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.
