KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Under specific test conditions, this heater has shown
heat output at rates ranging from 12,000 to 35,000
BTU’s per hour.
The Jøtul OSLO F500 wood is ONLYlisted to burn
wood . Do not burn any other fuels.
·
Avoid creating a low pressure condition in the
room where the stove is operating. Operating an
exhaust fan or a clothes dryer could create a low
pressure area, causing poisonous gases to come
out of the stove into the room.
JØTUL OSLO F500 WOODSTOVE
When installing, operating and maintaining your
Jøtul OSLO F500 woodstove, follow the guidelines
presented in these instructions, and make them
available to anyone using or servicing the stove.
You can prevent low pressure conditions by
providing adequate combustion air within 24” but
not closer than 12” from the stove. Or, simply
install the optional outside air manifold system,
which allows the direct connection of air from
outside the house to the stove.
A number of areas require a building permit to install
a solid fuel burning appliance. In the U.S., the
National Fire ProtectionAssociation’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.
·
·
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Some fuels will, during combustion, separate
carbon monoxide and generate it in the burn
chamber. Carbon monoxide is toxic, so please
follow the guidelines in this manual for proper
operation of your Jøtul OSLO F500.
In Canada, the guideline is established by the CSA
Standard, CAN/CSA-B365-M93, Installation
Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment. Always consult your local building
inspector or authority having jurisdiction to
determine what regulations apply in your area.
If you for some reason experience smoke “roll-
out” from the stove, it may activate smoke
detectors if installed in the house.

FIGURE1
TOP OR REAR EXIT FLUE
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” and a recommended total length of stove
pipe should not exceed 10 feet. Always slope
horizontal runs upward ¼” per foot toward the
chimney.
The Oslo F500 is shipped with the flue collar,
gasketing and hardware inside the stove. To install
the flue collar in the top or rear exit position remove
the tape from the gasketing and adhere to the groove
on the back of the stove around the flue opening.
Place the flue collar on the stove in the top or rear
exit position and secure with the nut, bolt and washer.
The nut and washer are placed on the inside of the
stove.
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 or CAN/CSA-B365,
and is also addressed in this manual.
STOVE PIPE
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
The chimney connector is a single walled pipe used
to connect the stove to the chimney. For use with
the OSLO F500 the chimney connector MUST be

CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
Masonry Chimneys
There are two types of chimneys suitable for the
OSLO F500:
When installing the OSLO F500 into a masonry
chimney you must conform to all of the following
guidelines:
1. A code- approved masonry chimney with a flue
liner.
·
The masonry chimney must have a fireclay liner
or equivalent, with a minimum thickness of
5/8” and must be installed with refractory mortar.
There must be at least ½” air space between
the flue liner and chimney wall.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys
per UL 103 or ULC S629.
The chimney size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the flue collar, and not more than
three times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the flue collar.
·
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” and
not larger than 8” in diameter. If a chimney with
larger dimensions is to be used, it should be
relined with an appropriate liner that is code
approved.
When selecting a chimney type and the location for
the chimney in the house, keep this in mind: it is the
chimney that makes the stove work, NOT the stove
that makes the chimney work. This is because a
chimney actually creates a suction, called “draft”
which pulls air through the stove.
·
The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or
modular block, must be a minimum of 4” nominal
thickness. A mountain or rubble stone wall must
be at least 12” thick.
Several factors affect draft: chimney height, cross-
sectional area (size), and temperature of the chimney,
as well as the proximity of surrounding trees or
buildings.
·
·
A newly-built chimney must conform to local
codes and in their absence must recognize
national regulations.
As a result, a short masonry chimney on the exterior
of a house will give the poorest performance. This
is because it can be very difficult to warm the
chimney thereby creating inadequate draft. In
extremely cold northern areas it may be necessary
to reline the chimney or extend its height to help
establish draft.
When using an existing chimney, it must be
inspected by a professional licensed chimney
sweep, fire official, or code officer, to ensure
that the chimney is in proper working order.
·
·
No other appliance can be vented into the same
flue.
Oppositely, a tall masonry chimney inside the house
is easier to keep warm and will perform the best.
An airtight clean-out door should be located at
the base of the chimney.
The following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-
NFPA 211for the US. And CSA CAN-B365 for
Canada). However, many local codes differ from
the national code to take into account climate,
altitude, or other factors. It is important that you
check with your local building officials to find out
what codes apply in your area before installing your
new OSLO F500.
Prefabricated Chimneys
If a prefabricated metal chimney is to be used it
must be a chimney type that is tested and listed for
use with solid fuel burning appliances. High
Temperature (HT) Chimney Standard UL 103 for
the U.S. and High Temperature Standard ULC
S-629 for Canada.

The manufacturer’s installation instructions must be WALL PASS-THROUGHS
followed precisely. Always maintain the proper
clearance to combustibles as established by the pipe When your installation unavoidably requires the
manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum chimney connector to pass through a combustible wall
of 2”, although it may vary by manufacturer or for to reach the chimney, always consult your local
certain chimney components.
building officials, and be sure any materials to be used
have been tested and listed for wall pass-throughs.
Chimney Height
In the U.S.
Whether a masonry chimney or prefabricated metal
chimney is used it must be the required height above
the roof line.
The National Fire ProtectionAssociation’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 officials to discuss any local
code requirements.
The requirement is:
The chimney must 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 2.
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” around
the chimney connectors proposed location. With a 6”
round liner the minimum area required would be 31”
x 31” square.
The space is then filled with at least 12” of brick
around a fireclay liner. Remember, the liner must be
ASTM C35 or equivalent, with a minimum wall
thickness of 5/8”.
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through
at least 18” from the ceiling for proper clearance to
combustibles.
FIGURE2
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.
Chimneys shorter than 14 feet may not provide
adequate draft. This could result is 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 puffing, which is a build up of
gases inside the firebox.
The bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of
3 ½ “ thick (4” 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 3.
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.

Consult your local building inspector, authorized Jøtul
Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or CAN/CSA-B635
in Canada for other approved wall pass-through
methods.
CONNECTING TO THE CHIMNEY
Masonry Chimney
When installing a OSLO F500 into 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.
The chimney connector/stove pipe must slide
completely inside the thimble to the inner surface or
the flue liner. It may be necessary to make use of a
thimble sleeve (a pipe with a slightly smaller diameter
than standard stove pipe). This special pipe can be
easily installed into a thimble. See figure 4.
FIGURE3
In Canada
The Canada the standard has been established by the
Canadian Standard Association. The installation must
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment.
Before proceeding be sure to consult your local
buildinginspector.
Make sure the connector pipe or thimble sleeve does
not protrude into the flue liner, thereby restricting the
area the smoke has to flow through. This bottle-neck
will have a negative affect on the chimney system.
The chimney connector should be sealed at the thimble
with refractory cement and the stove pipe leading to
the stove should have a minimum of three screws.
Common Method
This method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18” (457mm) around the
chimney connector’s proposed location. With a 6”
round liner the minimum area required would be
43” x 43” square.
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
It is important to remember to locate the pass-through
at least 18” from the ceiling to maintain the proper
clearance to combustibles.
The space that is cleared of combustible materials
must then remain empty. Sheet metal panels can then
be used to cover the area. However, when using a
panel on both sides of the wall each cover must be
installed on noncombustible spacers at least 1” from
the wall. If one panel of sheet metal is to be used it
may be installed flush to the wall.

stove’s height by 2 1/4”.
When installing the OSLO F500 into a masonry
fireplace, code requires that the fireplace damper plate
be removed or securely fixed in the open position. A
connector pipe must then extend from the stove’s flue
exit through the damper area of the fireplace and into
thechimneytileliner. See figure 5
The inside area of the flue liner must not be less than
the area of the stove’s flue exit, and cannot be more
than three times greater than the cross sectional area
of the stove’s flue exit.
If the chimney liner is too large to accommodate the
stove, an approved relining system must be installed
to resize the flue.
FIGURE6
Prefabricated Chimneys
When installing the OSLO F500 to a prefabricated
metal chimney always follow the pipe manufacture’s
instructions and be sure to use the components that
are required. This usually includes some type of
“smoke pipe adapter” that is secured to the bottom
section of the metal chimney and allows the chimney
pipe to be secured to it with three sheet metal screws.
See figures 6 and 7
A new sheet metal damper block-off plate must be
installed around the connector pipe at the damper
frame and sealed with the proper sealant (usually
High-Temp Silicone).

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Floor Protection
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 Jøtul OSLO F500.
Floor protection under the stove, must be constructed
of a non-combustible material for protection from
radiant heat, sparks, and embers.
The following diagrams give the required clearances
you must maintain when installing the OSLO F500
near combustible surfaces.
Individual sections of floor protection must be
mortared together to prevent sparks from falling
through to combustible materials. Any carpeting must
be removed from under the floor protection.
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.
In the U.S.and Canada
The OSLO F500 must be installed on a non-
combustible surface extending a minimum of 18”
(460mm) in front of the stove and the left side load
door (measured from the legs). And 8” (200mm) on
the right side and back of the stove (measured from
side and back panels).
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials.
Remember: “Fire Resistant” materials are considered
combustible; they are difficult to ignite, but will burn.
Also “Fire-rated” sheet rock is also considered
combustible.
This will result in a minimum floor protection of
54.5”W X 49”D. See figure 8.
In 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.
Contact your local building officials about restrictions
and installation requirements in your area.
A hearth pad measuring 46” wide X 53” deep
can be used. HOWEVER, USE OF THE LEFT
SIDE LOAD DOOR IS PROHIBITED when
this size hearth is used; Because access to the
firebox is only allowed through a door that has a
minimum of 18” of hearth protection.
SEE PAGES 10-12 FOR COMPLETE
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS AND
DIAGRAMS.
Using Shields to Reduce Clearances
Pipe shields: When using listed pipe shields to reduce
the connector clearance to combustibles, it must start
1” above the lowest exposed point of the connect pipe
and extend vertically a minimum of 25” above the top
surface of the stove.

Before building a fire in your new OSLO F500, please
read the following section carefully and completely.
FIGURE 11
Breaking in your new stove
Do Not Burn
First this stove is designed to burn natural wood ONLY,
wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14
months will provide the cleanest most efficient heat.
Your new OSLO F500 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.
Do not burn:
*Coal
*Treated or painted wood
*Chemical Chimney cleaners
*Colored paper
*Garbage
*Cardboard
*Solvents
Complete the following steps for the proper break-in
procedure for the OSLO F500:
*Any synthetic fuel or logs
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.
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.
1. Light a small fire, newspaper and kindling only,
only allow the stove to reach a maximum surface
temperature of 200°. Burn for approximately 1
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.
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.
Controls on the OSLO F500
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.
Never allow the stove to exceed a 400° surface
temperature during any “break-in fire” with the
exception of the last “break-in” fire.
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.
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
willeventuallydisappear. Openingawindowor door
to provide additional ventilation will reduce the odor
as this process takes its course.

THESTOVEORCHIMNEYGLOWS, YOUARE
OVERFIRING, AND A HOUSE FIRE OR SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY COULD
RESULT. IMMEDIATELYCLOSE DOWNTHEAIR
CONTROL IF YOU NOTICE THIS CONDITION.
Burn only solid wood directly on the bottom
grate of the stove, do not elevate the fire in any
way.
The ash pan door on the stove must always be
securely closed when the stove is in operation.
Adding Fuel
Burning the stove with the ashpan open will over-fire
the stove and cause interior damage.
When reloading the stove while it is still hot and a bed
of hot embers still exist, follow this reloading
procedure:
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.
·
·
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.
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.
·
·
·
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).
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.
The Formation of Creosote
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° and 600°.
See figure 12 below for the optimum locations of a
stove-top thermometer.
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

IMPORTANT:
REPLACE GLASS ONLY WITH A CERAMIC
GLASS PANEL SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR THE JØTUL OSLO F500. DO NOT USE
SUBSTITUTES. REPLACEMENT GLASS
PANELS CAN BE ORDERED THROUGH
YOUR JØTUL DEALER.
:
OF COURSE, FOR YOUR
Ash removal will be required periodically depending
on how frequently the stove is used. Conveniently,
the OSLO F500 is equipped with an ash pan assembly
for easy ash removal, without the need for opening
the front doors.
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:
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.
NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WITH A
CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS PANEL.
1. Remove the door from the stove and place on a
flat surface.
Remove the ash pan. When the stove is in operation
always close the ash pan door before leaving to
dispose of the ashes.
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.
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.
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
infraredcoating (marked on the perimeter) should
always be facing outward. It is extremely impor-
tant to tighten the glass clips slowly and in a
repeating pattern, like tightening the lugs on an
automobile wheel.
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, will burn off during
the next hot fire.
7. It may be necessary to retighten the glass clips
after the stove has be burned and the gasketing
has been seated.
door
The proper cleaning procedure is as follows:
gasket
glass
1. Glass needs to be COMPLETELY 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.

General Maintenance
The OSLO F500 is designed to burn cleanly and
efficiently when used according to the guidelines
Like your car, regular maintenance prolongs the life expressed in these operating instructions. However,
of your appliance. The following procedures do not to maintain the proper performance, a yearly chimney

and in turn, increase your years of enjoyment.
could result in a serious chimney fire.
At least once a year you should perform the following
maintenance procedures:
ACCESSORIES
Many accessories have been manufactured for use
with the Jøtul OSLO F500. ONLY USE
ACCESSORIES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FOR THE JØTUL OSLO F500.
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.
Firescreen (part # 129172)
The OSLO F500 has been approved for use as an
open fireplace, with front door 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.
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.
·
·
·
Always have the firescreen in place, attached to
the stove front.
Gaskets
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.
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.
WARNING: OPERATE YOUR JØTUL OSLO
F500 WITH THE FRONT DOOR FULLY OPEN
AND THE FIRESCREEN IN PLACE OR FULLY
CLOSED. A PARTIALLY OPENED DOOR MAY
RESULT IN OVERFIRING. ALSO, IF THE
DOOR IS LEFT PARTLY OPEN, GAS AND
FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE STOVE
OPENING, CREATING RISKS FROM BOTH FIRE
AND SMOKE.
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.

Outside air may be required if:
Floor Bracket Kit (part #750304)
1. The OSLO F500 does not “draw” steadily,
smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns poorly, or back-
drafts occur whether or not there is combustion
present.
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.
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.
Rear Heatshield (part #154332)
A stove rear heatshield has been specifically designed
for the OSLO F500 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.
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.
NO OTHER TYPE OF HEATSHIELD MAY BE
USED ON THE REAR OF THE OSLO F500.
5. There is excessive condensation on the
windows in the winter.
Bottom Heatshield (part #154330)
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
A bottom heatshield has been specifically designed
for the OSLO F500. It is required in all alcove
installations. Use of the bottom heat shield DOES
NOT affect the floor protection requirements discribed
on page 9 of this manual.
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 provided to the appliance by the following
means:
NO OTHER TYPE OF HEATSHIELD MAY BE
USED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OSLO F500.
1. Direct connection: the OSLO F500 has been
tested and listed for use use with a outside air kit
This outside air kit is connected directly to the
stove, be sure to follow the instructions provided
with the kit.
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°.
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.

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 sustem 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
