6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
Jøtul I 160 is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked
in through the air vent above the fireplace and down along the
inside of the glass.
However,somesootwillalwayssticktotheglass,butthequantity
will depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the air wash vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned
off when the air wash vent is opened all the way and a fire is
burning briskly in the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over
the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry well. If it
is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we recommend
using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).

6.3 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the insert
during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore reduce
the fireplace’s heat output. If soot deposits accumulate when
using the product, they can be easily removed by using a soot
remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
insert you should regularly allow the fire to burn hot in order to
remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary to get
the best heating effect from the product. It is a good idea to do
this in connection with sweeping the chimney and flue pipes.
6.4 Sweeping of flue pipes to the chimney
The flue must be swept through the stove’s door opening. The
baffle plate must first be removed. See «7.0 Service».
6.5 Control of the stove
Jøtul recommends that you personally control your product
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surface areas
for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the gaskets
are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs of wear or
deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket well
into place. The joint will dry quickly.
6.5 External maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years usage.
The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of any loose
particles before new paint is applied.
enGLIsH
Enamelled products must only be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
Do not use water and soap. Any stains can be removed with
cleaning liquids. (Oven cleaner etc.)
7.0 Service
Warning! Any unauthorised change to the product is illegal! Only
use original spare parts!

Unusual amount of soot accumulates on the
glass
Some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity depends
on:

Most of the soot will normally burn off when the air vent is
opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace.
