To light the Jotul F 45 V2 Greenville stove, ensure the air control lever is fully open. Place crumpled newspaper and kindling in the firebox, light the newspaper, and gradually add larger pieces of wood once the kindling is burning well.
Inspect and clean the stove and chimney annually. Check door seals, gaskets, and ensure the air control operates smoothly. Clean the glass as needed to maintain clear visibility.
Ensure the chimney is not blocked and is of adequate height. Check the air vents for obstructions and confirm the stove is not overloaded with wood. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated.
Use seasoned hardwood with a moisture content of 20% or less. Woods like oak, maple, or birch are ideal as they burn efficiently and produce more heat.
Allow the stove to cool completely. Use a soft cloth and a specialized stove glass cleaner, or a mixture of vinegar and water, to gently remove soot and deposits.
Ensure the wood is dry and well-seasoned. Check that the air control is adjusted properly and that ash buildup is not obstructing airflow. Clean the stove and flue if necessary.
Do not overload the firebox with wood. Use the air control to regulate the burn rate and ensure a steady, controlled burn rather than an intense blaze.
Allow the fire to burn down naturally by not adding more wood. Close the air control to restrict oxygen flow, which will help the fire die down. Do not use water to extinguish the fire.
Remove the old gasket by pulling it out of the channel. Clean the channel with a wire brush. Apply gasket cement and press the new gasket into place, ensuring it is evenly seated.
No, the Jotul F 45 V2 is designed for burning wood only. Burning coal can damage the stove and void the warranty.
