Ensure the fireplace is installed by a certified technician following the manufacturer's guidelines. This includes correct venting and clearance from combustible materials.
The Jotul Series 8 Fireplace is designed for wood burning. Use seasoned hardwood with low moisture content for optimal performance and efficiency.
Check for blockages in the chimney, ensure the damper is open, and verify that the room has adequate air supply for combustion.
Regularly clean the glass, check and clear the chimney of creosote build-up, and inspect gaskets and seals for wear.
Allow the glass to cool completely, then use a specialized fireplace glass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water with a soft cloth.
Ensure the wood is dry and seasoned, the air vents are open, and the chimney is free from blockages to allow proper airflow.
Have your fireplace inspected and cleaned at least once a year by a professional to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Keep flammable materials away from the fireplace, install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and never leave the fire unattended.
No, the Jotul Series 8 is designed specifically for burning wood. Burning coal or other materials can damage the fireplace and void the warranty.
Use seasoned hardwood, ensure a good draft by keeping the chimney clean, and use a fireplace insert to improve heat retention.
