Jøtul C <strong>550</strong> <strong>Rockland</strong>OperationRead the following section carefully before buildinga fire in your fireplace insert..FuelThis stove is designed to burn natural wood ONLY.Wood that has been air-dried for a period of 6 to 14months will provide the cleanest, most efficientheat. Frequent use of green or inadequately seasonedwood is conducive to creosote accumulationand generally poor performance.DO NOT T BURN...•Coal •Treated or painted wood•Garbage •Chemical Chimney cleaners•Cardboard •Colored paper•Solvents •Any synthetic fuel or logsThe burning of any of these materials can result inthe release of toxic fumes. NEVER USE GASOLINE,GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR-COAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO STARTOR “FRESHEN-UP” THE FIRE. Always keep suchliquids away from the heater at all times.Air Control SettingsA single lever regulates the Primary Air flow thatcontrols the intensity of the fire and consequentheat output and burn time. This lever is locatedwithin the slot on the upper right front of thefireplace insert.When first starting or reviving the fire, thecontrol lever should be set at the far right positionto allow the maximum amount of air into the stove.See fig.15. After the fire is well-established, the levershould be set at position to moderate incoming airto maintain the desired long term heat output and/or burn time.In general, the more air made available to thefuel will result in the hottest fire intensity and thefastest fuel consumption. Alternatively, the less airmade available to the firebox will result in low heatoutput and slow fuel consumption.Blower Settings / Air ControlUse the following guide for best performance.Burn Rate Air Control Setting Blower SpeedLow Fully Closed Low / On at 30 min.Med.

Jøtul C <strong>550</strong> <strong>Rockland</strong>Starting and Maintaining a FireBurn only solid wood directly on the bottom plate ofthe stove. Do not elevate the fire in any way.1. Set the Air Control Lever in the full open position.2. Crumple several sheets of newspaper directlyon the bottom plate..2. Place several pieces of small dry kindling (approx.1” in diameter) on top of the newspaper, with twoto three small logs (approx. 2” to 3” in diameter)on top.3. Light the fire and close the door. Gradually buildthe fire by adding larger and larger logs as thefire develops a bed of coals.4. When you have added the final logs, adjust theAir Control Lever to provide the desired fireintensity.Experiment with a variety of air control settingsto determine the best one for your individualcircumstances. Remember that fuel characteristics,chimney system condition, building design, andweather conditions all affect the performance ofyour fireplace insert. In time, you will discover howthese elements combine and how you can workwith them to achieve satisfactory performance.Break-in PeriodThe cast iron parts of your fireplace insert require abreak-in process to allow them to gradually adjustto thermal expansion and contraction. This isaccomplished by building a series of three or fourfires, each somewhat hotter than the last. Allow thefireplace insert to cool completely before buildingthe next fire.Limit the first fire to just kindling and a coupleof 1 -2 inch logs and add progressively more andlarger logs to subsequent fires, keeping the AirControl set to the fully open position.It is normal for a new fireplace insert to emitodor and possibly smoke during the first few fires.This is characteristic of the burn-off of residues fromthe manufacturing process and the curing ofpainted surfaces. Open a window near the fireplaceinsert to provide plenty of fresh air to the roomduring this “seasoning” period.WARARNING!NG!NEVER OVERVER-FI-FIRE THE STOVE.IF ANY PARART OFTHE STOVE OR CHIMNIMNEY GLOWS, YOU OU AREOVERVER-FI-FIRING.A HOUSE FIRE OR SERIOUSDAMAGETO THE E STOVE OR CHIMNIMNEY COUOULDRESUESULT.

This allows the renewed air circulation toclear unburned gases from the firebox.• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hotembers equally around the firebox.• Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.Keep logs behind the andirons. See fig. 16.• Close the doors and secure the latch.• Wait 5 – 10 minutes for the fire to reestablishbefore adjusting the Air Control Lever for thedesired heat output. If a thick bed of live coals ispresent, you may be able to add fuel and immediatelyset the air control without waiting for thefire to be reestablished.Creosote FormationAndironsFigure 16.Fuel load area - keep logs behind the andirons.This appliance is designed to burn wood cleanly andefficiently when operated as described in thismanual. However, when wood is burned slowly andat low temperatures, tar and other organic vaporsare produced which condense on the relativelycooler chimney flue surfaces to form creosote.Failure to keep the chimney system free of creosotebuild up could result in a chimney fire.The creosote that accumulates in the chimney ishighly flammable and is the fuel of chimney fires. Toprevent chimney fires, it is important to have thechimney flue and connector pipe cleaned andinspected at the beginning of the heating seasonand then inspected twice per month during frequentuse. Clean the chimney whenever creosoteaccumulation of 1/4” or more is evident. A qualifiedchimney sweep or other authorized service personcan provide this service.15
Jøtul C <strong>550</strong> <strong>Rockland</strong>It is also important to remember that chimneysize, temperature and height all affect draft which inturn affects the formation of creosote. An exteriorchimney, whether masonry or prefabricated steel, willbe exposed to cold outside temperatures, and consequently,will be more prone to creosote accumulationthan an interior flue.A chimney flue located within the home interiorwill benefit from the insulating characteristics of thebuilding itself. Consequently, the flue system will beless conducive to condensation of unburned gases andminimal creosote accumulation will result.As a general rule, try to avoid burning the insert atthe lowest air control settings. Although a low settingwill prolong burn time, it may also result in incompletecombustion. In reducing the fire intensity, draft isweakened and the chimney flue cools. This, togetherwith the increase in unburned gases, leads to rapidcreosote accumulation.Blower OperationAccess the blower control panel by lifting the castiron lower grille up off the insert.The dual blowers will enhance heat circulationaround the firebox and out into the room. In theAutomatic setting, the blowers are controlled by aheat activated switch (snapstat) that will onlyfunction when the speed control is ON. After the firehas been burning for a time, the snapstat will reactto the heat and activate the blowers. Conversely,the blower will continue to operate until thesnapstat cools as the fire wanes. The blowers willthen shut off automatically.The <strong>Manual</strong> setting overrides the snapstatfunctionality allowing blower operation regardlessof temperatures.For best performance, do not turn the switch onuntil after the fire is well-established.If the blower is not needed, place the blowercontrol switch in the OFF position.GPOWERSUPPLYBRBKBKAUTOCIRCUITGGSNAPSTATWARNING !• THIS BLOWER MUST BEELECTRICALLY GROUNDED INACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODESOR, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCALCODES, WITH THE CURRENT ANSI/NFPA 70, NATIONAL ELECTRICALCODE OR CSA C22.1-CANADIANELECTRICAL CODE.• THIS UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITH ATHREE-PRONG (GROUNDING)PLUG FOR PROTECTION AGAINSTSHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BEPLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO APROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE.

Jøtul C <strong>550</strong> <strong>Rockland</strong>MaintenanceAsh RemovalAlways wear stove gloves when handling ashes.Ash removal will be required periodically dependingon how frequently the stove is used. Use a steel ashshovel and metal container with a tight-fitting lid.NEVER USE A PAPER OR PLASTIC BAG AS AN ASHRECEPTACLE.The container of ashes should be placed on anoncombustible floor or on the ground, well awayfrom all combustible materials, pending finaldisposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soilor otherwise dispersed, they should be kept in theclosed container until all coals and cinders havethoroughly cooled.Glass CareCleaningOccasionally it will be necessary to clean the carbondeposits and fly ash off of the glass. If deposits areallowed to remain on the glass for an extendedperiod of time, the glass may become etched andcloudy.Creosote deposits should burn off during the nexthot fire.1. The glass must be COMPLETELY COOL.2. Only use a cleaner that is specifically designed forthis purpose. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANINGAGENTS. The use of abrasives will damage theglass, leaving a frosted surface. Crumpled newspaperis an especially good cleaning material.3. Rinse and dry glass completely before lighting a fire.M6 x 8 PanHd ScrewPN 117505GasketedGlass ClipPN 153620Glass GasketPN 200024Glass ReplacementAlways operate the doors slowly and cautiously toavoid cracking or breaking the glass.

Jøtul C <strong>550</strong> <strong>Rockland</strong>Appendix AAlternate Hearth ProtectionAll hearth protection materials must be noncombustible;i.e: metal, brick, stone, or mineral fiber boards. Any combustiblematerial may not be used.Follow the procedures below to determine if a proposedalternate floor material meets requirements listed inthis manual.R-value = thermal resistancek-value = thermal conductivityC-value = thermal conductance1. Convert the specification to R-value:a. If r-value is given, no conversion is needed.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 floorprotector.a. Use the formula in Step 1 to convert valuesnot expressed as “R”.b. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layerto determine overall R-value.c. If the overall R-value of the system is greaterthan the R-value of the specified floor protector,the alternate is acceptable.Example:The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick materialwith a k-factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brickwith a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.Step 1. Use the formula above to convert specifications toR-value. R = 1 x T = 1/.84 x .75 = .893Step 2. 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 = 0.431Total R = R brick + R mineral board = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231Step 3. Compare proposed system R = 1.231 to specified Rof 0.893. Since R is greater than required, the system isacceptable.Definitions:Thermal conductance =C = Btu = W(hr)(ft2)(F) (m2)(K)Thermal conductivity =k = Btu = W = (Btu)(hr)(ft2)(F) (m2)(K) (hr)(ft)(F)Thermal resistance =R = (ft2)(hr(F) = (m2)(K)BtuWLeg Leveler InstallationTwo leg leveler bolts are contained within theMiscellaneous Kit included inside the firebox. Thebolts are intended to help level and plumb thefirebox if irregularities exist between the front andrear of the fireplace hearth.Examine the hearth floor to determine anydifference in height between the front and rear orside to side. Slide the firebox into the fireplace toconfirm whether or not the leveler bolts will benecessary.Ifappropriate, install the bolts through thetapped holes located in the firebox floor approximately6” from the rear of the firebox.
