Check Building Codes
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.
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 ecient operation of your
stove.
Always follow the guidelines presented in this manual when
installing, operating, and maintaining this appliance and make
this manual available to anyone using or servicing the 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 PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION RE-
QUIREMENTS 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. CONTACT WILL
CAUSE SKIN BURNS. USE A CHILD GUARD SCREEN TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BY SMALL CHILDREN.
• INSTALL CO SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE LIVING AREA AND
BEDROOMS OF YOUR HOME. TEST THEM REGULARLY
AND INSTALL FRESH BATTERIES TWICE ANNUALLY.
WHEN INSTALLED IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE 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 consequently 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 building, 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 pro-
fessional solid fuel technician, or that you consult one if you do
the work yourself. Also, consult your insurance company regard-
ing any other specific requirements.

3EPA Validated Eciency:
High Heat Value and Low Heat Value eciencies are determined per the
CSA B415.1-10 test method. The dierence between the HHV and
LHV is how the energy in the exhaust gas water vapor is accounted for.
LHV eciency assumes all the water vapor in combustion gases was
condensed and the heat from such was recovered and transferred
to the dwelling. HHV calculations do not assume all water vapor is
condensed, therefore the HHV value is less than the LHV value.

1. Installation
1.1 Assembly Before Installation
The Jøtul F 500 V3 is shipped with the flue collar attached in
the top position and the front ash lip and combustor monitor
(thermometer) inside the stove.
• Changing the Flue Collar to Rear Exit: While holding the
M6 flange nuts on the inside of the flue collar to keep them
from falling into the stove, use a 10 mm open end wrench or
socket wrench to remove the two M6 bolts with M6 fender
washers. Orient the flue collar to the rear and use the same
hardware to re-attach it to the stove.
• Take out the front ash lip, which is inside the burn chamber.
The ash lip is placed loosely on top of the base plate.
• See section 5.5 for combustor monitor installation.
• INSTALL ACCESSORIES BEFORE LOCATING THE
STOVE IN THE FINAL POSITION. Use the instructions
provided with those kits.
2. Chimney and Chimney
Connector Requirements
2.1 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 V3, 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 V3. These materials cannot
withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire and can
give o 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 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.
• The maximum horizontal run is 36” (915mm) and a
recommended total length of stove pipe should not exceed
10 feet.
• Horizontal runs must slope upward 1/4” (6,35mm) per foot
toward the chimney.
• Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with
NFPA 211 and is also addressed in this manual.
• 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 and is also addressed in this manual.
• Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue servicing
another appliance.
2.2 General Chimney Requirements
The F 500 V3 is approved for use with:
1. A code-approved masonry chimney and flue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per
UL 103 .
An existing chimney system must pass a UL 1482 Level
II inspection conducted by a qualified technician or building
ocial.
The chimney flue size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the stove flue collar, and not more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar.
Chimney Considerations
When choosing a chimney type and location in the house,
keep this in mind: it is the chimney that makes the stove work,
not the stove that makes the chimney work. The chimney
allows the temperature dierence between inside and outside
air to create suction, called “draft”, which pulls air through
the stove necessary to support combustion. Since draft is the
force which moves air from the stove up through the chimney,
its strength is critical to proper stove function. Besides air
pressure dierential, draft strength is aected other factors
including:
• chimney condition and height
• surrounding construction, other buildings
* nearby trees, local geography
• wind conditions and climate
Any of the preceding conditions can adversely aect
performance. Weak or erratic draft can cause “backpung”- a
condition when smoke leaks into the room through the stove or
chimney connector joints. Poor draft will also make it dicult
to maintain a steady, controlled burn and lead to creosote
accumulation in the chimney or combustor.

139946_18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022

A short, masonry chimney on the exterior of a house will
promote poor performance. This is because it will be dicult
to initiate and maintain temperatures warm enough to sustain
adequate draft. In extremely cold northern areas, it may be
necessary to reline the chimney or extend its height to help
improve performance. Conversely, a tall, masonry chimney
inside the house will warm more quickly and retain heat longer.
On the other hand, overly strong draft can also cause a dierent
set of issues such as excessive temperatures and short burn times
Ideally, whether masonry or prefabricated, the chimney should
be centrally located inside the house where it will be least af-
fected by exterior conditions and the stove’s radiant heat can be
most evenly dispersed.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code, ANSI-NFPA 211.
However, many local codes dier from the national code to
take into account climate, altitude, or other factors.
NOTE: Consult your local code authority to determine
what building and fire codes apply in your area before
installing your new stove. Your local inspector has final
authority in approving your installation.
2.3 Masonry Chimneys
A masonry chimney must conform to 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 a chimney flue having 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, 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 ocial, or code ocer, 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.
2.4 Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be tested and listed for
use with solid fuel burning appliances to High Temperature
(HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for the U.S.
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.
2.5 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 pung, 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.

3. Connecting to the Chimney
3.1 Masonry Chimney Thimble
When connecting the stove to 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. See fig. 4.
• The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide completely
inside the thimble to the inner surface or the flue liner. A
slip-connector may be used to permit adjustability and ease
maintenance / cleaning access. See fig. 5.
• The connector pipe or thimble sleeve must not protrude into
the flue liner where it could restrict the free flow of exhaust
gas and cause poor stove performance.
• The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble with
refractory cement and each connector joint must be secured
with three sheet metal screws.
• Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue servicing another
appliance of any kind.
3.2 Hearthmount Into a Masonry Fireplace
Consult your local building inspector for codes on fireplace
installation. The Jøtul F 500 V3 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).
• The NFPA 211 standard (12.4.5.1) requires that a masonry
flue serving a wood-burning appliance must be sealed o
from room air. This can be accomplished by two methods:
1) Replace the fireplace damper with a fixed steel plate
through which the connector pipe must
extend from the stove to the chimney flue tile. See
figure 6. Alternatively, the flue may be sealed o
by installing a non-combustible plate at the
fireplace opening. In either case, the block-o plate
and connector pass-through must be sealed using
high-temperature or other appropriate sealant.
Jøtul
recommends a block-o plate installed in any fireplace
damper area for improved heat eciency.
2) Install a full, listed chimney liner from the stove to
a direct connection at a sealed chimney cap. Your
Jøtul dealer can recommend an approved system.
• See Section 2.3 on page 5 for cross-sectional flue size
requirements related to interior vs exterior chimneys.
• If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the stove, a
code-approved relining system must be installed to resize the
flue.
• The fireplace installation must also conform to the tested
clearances to surrounding trim and mantels. See clearance
specifications on pages 22-23. In addition, a fireplace
installation must also comply with the floor protection
guidelines specified on page 7.
2.6 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 ocials, 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 ocials 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.
Consult your local building inspector and authorized Jøtul
Dealer for other approved wall pass-through methods.

139946_18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022

3.3 Prefabricated Chimneys
The Jøtul F 500 V3 may be connected to a prefabricated metal
chimney following the pipe manufacture’s instructions. Use all
required components. Most manufacturers oer an adaptor that
attaches to the bottom section of the metal chimney and permits
the connector pipe to be secured to it using three sheet metal
screws. See figure 7.
4. Clearances to Combustibles
4.1 Floor Protection Requirements
The F 500 V3 requires floor protection as specified below in
any installation unless installed on concrete over earth.
* The supplied bottom heat shield must be installed on the
stove.
• Floor protection under the stove must be composed of
continuous, non-combustible materials for protection against
sparks and embers.
* Individual sections of floor protection must be mortared or
otherwise sealed together to prevent spark penetration to
combustibe floor materials. Any carpeting must be removed
from under the floor protection.
• Alcove Installations: In addition to the Bottom Heat Shield,
floor protection must include materials having a minimum
R-value of 1.6. See Appendix B, page 27, to determine various
material R-values.
The hearth protection surface must extend continuously:
• A minimum of 18” (457mm) in front of the stove and from the
left side load door (measured from the door opening).
• 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.
For 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. Fig. 8.
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 from your dealer.
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 F 500 V3.
The following diagrams give the required clearances you
must maintain when installing the F 500 V3 near combustible
surfaces. See pages 22-23.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces
are not limited to 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 ocials. Contact your local building
ocials about restrictions and installation requirements in your
area.
“Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible; they
are dicult to ignite, but will burn. “Fire-rated” sheet rock is
also considered combustible.
4.3 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:
Refer to NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents
and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, for acceptable materials,
proper sizing and construction guidelines.
Jøtul F 500 V3 Rear Heatshield Kit #154332
This shield is specifically approved for use to reduce
clearances on this appliance only. No other heat shield may
be used.
See pages 22-23 for complete clearance specifications and
diagrams.

NOTE: Accessories approved for clearance reduction
have been developed by many manufacturers. Be sure that
any accessory you choose has been tested and listed 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 ocials about
restriction and requirements in your area. Your local ocials
have final authority for installation approval.
4.4 Alcove Installation
Use of the left side load door is prohibited in alcove
installations. Install 155840 Side Door Lock kit available from
your dealer.
Ths appliance may be installed in an alcove provided: (See
figures 9 and 10, page 17.)
1. The stove must be installed with listed, double-wallpipe.
2. In a protected alcove installation both side walls and rear
wall must be protected per NFPA 211. The wall protection
must be elevated 1”(24,5mm) from the floor and at least 1”
(24,5mm)o the combustible wall to allow for cooling air-
flow.
3. The height of the wall protection including the bottom air
space must be 48”(1219mm).
4. Clearance specifications are designated between the stove
plates and the combustible wall surface.
5. The bottom heatshield is required in all Alcove
installations. See figure 16, page 19 for installation
instructions.
6. 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
B).
7. Minimum ceiling height in an unprotected installation,
o the top of the stove is 41”(1041 mm). The minimum
ceiling height o 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 155850 Side Door Lock kit available from
your dealer.
4.5 Mobile Home Installations
The F 500 V3 has been approved for use in mobile homes in
the U.S. and Canada provided:
1. The stove is physically secured to the floor or the mobile
home. Use Jotul 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 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 #154335. Do not substitute
any other connection method or device. See page 15 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 ocials
to determine other mobile home restrictions and requirements
in your area prior to installing the stove.

5. Operation
Please read the following section completely before building a
fire in your new Jøtul F 500 V3.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER.
THE MAXIMUM RECCOMENDED OPERATING
TEMPERATURE OF THE COMBUSTOR IS 1600°F (870°C).
DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THE COMBUSTOR IF IT
EXCEEDS 1750°F (954°C) FOR EVEN BRIEF PERIODS OF
TIME.
5.1 Combustion Eciency
The Jøtul F 500 V3 has an EPA test High Heating Value
(HHV) eciency rate of 78.4%.There are, however, aspects of
eciency that you should be aware of in order to get the most
from your stove. Operation habits and fuel moisture can have a
significant eect on eciency. 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 inecient, smoldering fire. Additionally, most modern wood
heaters’ optimum performance and eciency are at the medium
to medium-low burn rates.
The location of the stove can also have a significant eect
on heating eciency, 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 V3 to CSA B415.1-10 resulted in a carbon
monoxide emission rate of .50 grams per minute.There are
properties related to CO generation that you should be
aware of. Most means of combustion produce CO, including
wood fire. 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
Use dry wood.
The F 500 V3 is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher
eciencies 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
ecient heat. Wood seasoned more than 2 years will burn too
quickly to take advantage of the stove’s low end eciency
strength.
A seasoned log will have many check marks (cracks) through
the ends and be lighter than an unseasoned log which will show
few or no check marks.
We recommend using a moisture meter that incorporates
probes to determine the moisture content of your wood.
Meters are available at your dealer or local hardware store. For
purposes of home heating, your fuel should have a moisture
content between 12 - 20% on the meter gauge. Wood with
higher moisture content will burn, however, very ineciently.
Most of its heat value will be lost through evaporation, 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 and weak draft strengh. Use
of unseasoned wood defeats the purpose of any modern wood-
burning stove.
BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. 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;
• Lawn clippings or yard waste;
• Salt water driftwood or other previously salt-water;
saturated materials;
• Unseasoned wood;
• Colored paper, or
• Paper products, junk mail, cardboard, plywood, or particle board.
(The prohibition against burning these materials does not include
the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax or similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire.)
• Burning of any of the materials listed above can result
in the release of toxic fumes, cause smoke, or render the
catalytic combustor permanently damaged and ineective.

139946-18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022

• IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGLATIONS TO OPERATE
THIS WOOD HEATER IF THE CATALYTIC ELEMENT
IS DEACTIVATED OR REMOVED.
• 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: Prevent logs from resting directly on the glass
panel. Logs should be spaced o of the glass enough to
promote unrestricted air flow within the firebox.
5.4 F 500 V3 Control Functions
The F 500 V3 is designed to support ecient combustion and
optimal heat transfer by directing air to the fire through two
separate channels; Primary and Secondary. See figure 11.
Primary Air is manually regulated by a lever- controlled valve
located at the front center of the stove, directly below the
door. See fig. 12. The lever position controls the volume of
primary air entering the firebox and thereby aects 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 above the front doors and create an ’air-wash” to
help keep the viewing glass clean.
Secondary air is automatically regulated to promote
combustion of volatile gas that would otherwise be exhausted
to the atmosphere unburned. The secondary air inlet is located
at the back of the stove where a temperature-sensitive bimetal
coil continuously varies the volume of air introduced to fire.
This air is preheated as it passes over the back and top of the
firebox, directed to the secondary combustion bae and
delivered to the catalytic combustor. The combustor maintains
the high temperatures necessary to burn volitile gas that would
otherwise pass unburned into the atomosphere. When the
combustor is functioning, no smoke will be observed exiting
the chimney. This is evidence that the stove is operating in the
so-called ”sweet-spot” wherein optimum eciency is realized.
Secondary air is always available to the secondary
combustion bae and the catalytic combustor. The automatic
control valve funtions to provide the appropriate amount
of secondary air relative to maintaining optimal clean
combustion.
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 and thereby prolonging the fire at a lower heat output.
See figure 12.
Control Settings and Performance
Use the table below as a guide to achieve the best
performance from your stove.
Burn Rate Air Control Setting Blower Speed
Low Fully to the Left Minimum
Med. Low 1/4” to the Right Minimum
Med. High 3/8” to the Right Medium
High Fully to the Right High
The valve lever should be set at Full Open (Right) for the
first five minutes of the Low, Medium Low and Medium High
burn rate.
5.5 Using the Combustor Monitor
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 physical and environmental
characteristics that will aect stove performance. Other
variables aecting combustion eciency are cordwood
species and moisture content. Taking those variables into
consideration, you should use the integrated Combustor
Monitor to maintain the fire in the most ecient
manner tailored to your specific needs and installation
configuration.
You can readily monitor combustion eciency by noting the
temperature indicated on the thermometer shown in figure
13a. Follow this procedure to install the thermometer:
1. Remove the lower set screw on the right side panel of stove
using a 3mm hex key as shown in fig. 13b, pg.18.
DO NOT REMOVE THE UPPER SET SCREW. It secures
the top plate to the sides.
2. Take the magnet o of thermometer and replace it in the
correct orientation as shown in fig. 13c-13e, pg. 18.
3. Insert the thermometer probe fully into the hole with the
magnet attaching to the cast iron side plate as shown in fig.
13b.

139946_18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022
11
3. Cool the stove to room temperature.
4. Light a third fire and gradually allow the stove to reach and
maintain a surface temperature of 500°F (260°C).
5. Cool stove to room temperature. This completes the “break-
in” procedure.
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 minimize the air supply. It is normal for 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.
5.7 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 DAMAGE TO THE
STOVE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Traditional Fire Building
1. Set the primary air control lever in the full open position
(to the right). Place several sheets of crumpled 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 small 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 could damage the
stove.
3. Once the stove has reached a temperature range of
between 500° and 600°, (260°C -316°C), adjust the
primary air control lever as necessary to generate the heat
output and burn time desired.
You can also use a stove top thermometer to monitor the
surface temperature of the stove. The optimum surface
temperature range for the most ecient burn is between
400° and 600° (204°C -316°C).
Seated within the right side directly behind the catalytic
element, the thermometer accurately responds to combustion
activity. Secondary combustion takes place at temperatures
between 500°F (260°C) and 1200°F
(260°C - 649°C).
The primary air valve should remain at the fully open
setting, (to the Right), at least until the monitor registers
500°F (260°C). Maintain that temperature for 15-20
minutes before adjusting the primary air lever to Medium
Low - Medium High settings. The optimum temperature range
for most ecient combustion is between 500°F and 800°
(260°C -371°C). Chimney draft should be in the .05 - 1.0 w.c.
range. The so-called “sweet spot” combustion zone is best
maintained at those temperatures.
Visual Monitoring
Evidence of ecient combustion can be observed in three
distinct ways:
1. At temperatures over 500° F, look up through the
door glass to the steel bae and catalytic element at
the top of the firebox. As exhaust gases ignite, jets of
flame can be seen projecting from the bae ports
and the catalyst will glow vividly red.
2. Little or no smoke will be seen flowing from the
chimney flue outside of the house.
3. If the stove has been properly operated, brushing
the chimney flue will produce mostly fly ash. Little or
no creosote accummulation will be evident.
See appendix A for more information regarding combustor
performance.
5.6 Stove Break-In Procedure
The Jøtul F 500 V3 is constructed of cast iron plates and
sealed with 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.
this process is accomplished by burning a short series of small-
to-medium fires as described below.
1. Fully open the primary air valve. Light a small fire of
newspaper and kindling. Only allow the stove monitor to reach
a temperature of 200°F (93° C). Maintain the fire at that level
for approximately 1 hour and allow the stove to cool to room
temperature.
2. Light a second fire, allowing the stove to reach a maximum
temperature of 400°F (204°C) for 1 hour.

139946-18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022
12
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.
Do not attempt to extinguish the fire in the stove. Doing so
can make the matter worse by supplying additional oxygen ,
which will accelerate the fire in the chimney. When the roaring
and crackling has subsided, resist the temptation to open the
door to check the fire. The fire may have suocated, 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.
5.9 Adding Fuel
Reload the stove while a bed of hot embers still exists, Follow
this procedure:
• Always wear gloves when tending to the stove.
• Push the air control lever to the full open position (far
right).
• To minimize any smoke spillage, open the door slightly
before opening fully. This will allow air flow to stabilize
within the firebox and chimney flue.
• 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 and secure the latch tightly.
• Wait 5 – 10 minutes before adjusting the primary air to the
desired heat output setting. (If there remains at least a 2”
thick ember bed when reloading, it may be possible to close
the door and immediately adjust the air control setting).
• DO NOT over-load the stove. For safety and best
appearance, maintain a traditional three log configuration.
• Remember that when burning the stove with the screen in
place, heat eciency is sacrificed for aesthetics and wood
will be consumed at a much faster rate.
Top-Down Fire Building - See fig. 14.
As an alternative to the traditional ”teepee” fire starter, the
Top-Down method minimizes start-up smoke and more quickly
establishes strong draft through the chimney.
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.
5.8 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.
WARNING: OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
ONLY WITH THE DOOR(S) FULLY
CLOSED.OPERATION WITH THE
DOOR(S) LEFT PARTIALLY OPEN MAY
CAUSE OVERFIRING. Also, if doors are left
partially open, combustion gas and flame may
be drawn out of the stove, creating risks from
both fire and smoke.

6.3 Chimney System
The Jøtul F 500 V3 is designed to burn cleanly and eciently
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.
WARNING: DO NOT OVER-FIRE THIS
HEATER. IF ANY PART OF THE STOVE OR
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR GLOWS, WITH
THE EXCPTION OF THE COMBUSTOR,
YOU ARE OVER-FIRING. A HOUSE FIRE
OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE STOVE
OR CHIMNEY COULD RESULT. ATTEMPTS
TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES THAT
EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE
AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY ON THE
STOVE AND ITS COMPONENTS.
WARNING:
DO NOT OPERATE THIS STOVE WITH THE
ASH DOOR OPEN.
This condition will lead to overfiring which is
dangerous and can damage the stove. Such
damage is not covered under warranty. Only
empty the ash drawer before refueling, when the
fire is low or extinguished. The ash door should be
open only long enough to empty the drawer and
then securely closed. Inspect the gasket on the
ash pan door regularly and replace as necessary.
6. Maintenance
See Appendix A, page 24, for Combustor
Maintenance and Replacement instructions.
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 to handle
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.
Always wear safety gloves when handling the ash pan.
• Inspect the Catalytic Combustor. See Appendix A, page 24.
6.2 Ash removal
Ash removal will be required periodically depending on how
frequently the stove is used. Conveniently, the Jøtul F
500 V3 is equipped with an ash pan for easy ash removal
without the need to open the front door.
The ash pan door is located under the front ashlip of
the stove. To open the ash door, rotate the door handle
counterclockwise to unlatch the door and clockwise to latch
the door. Always use stove gloves when handling the ash
pan. Always close the ash door before leaving to dispose of
the ashes when the stove is burning.
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 always keep a one inch bed of ashes
on the firebox floor to help maintain a
charcoal bed and insulate the bottom.

139946-18 F 500 V3 Oslo May 2022

6.4 Enamel Care
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT ENAMEL
SURFACES. 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 commercial cleaning solutions, such as Citra-
Solv®, can also be eective.
• DO NOT USE SOAPY OR ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS.
These can cause stains. Coee, tea, and fruit jucies will
also cause stains.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH METAL OBJECTS. Trivets,
kettles, or pots, can damage the enamel.
6.5 Glass Care
Cleaning
While the air wash and high temperatures of normal
operation will combine to keep the glass free of heavy
deposits, it will occasionally be necessary to clean
carbon and fly ash o the glass. If allowed to remain
for an extended period of time, these deposits can
eventually cause the glass surface to become etched
and cloudy.
• USE ONLY AMMONIA-FREE, NON-ABRASSIVE
STOVE GLASS CLEANER
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT GLASS.
• CLEAN GLASS ONLY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Glass Replacement / See Fig. 15
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 gasket.
4. Remove all remaining gasket remnants with 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.
6.6 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
Universal Wood Stove Gasket Kit #157050 is available
from your dealer to replace all the gaskets in the F 500 V3.
Self-adhesive gaskets do not require cement for installation.
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.
