Safety Information
Location
During normal operation, the Nordic QT gas stove will
reach high surface temperatures. Therefore:
Due to the high operating temperatures, this appli-
ance should be located out of traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns and/or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they are in
the same room as the Nordic QT gas stove.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed ON or NEAR the Nordic QT gas stove. Surveiller
les enfants. Garder les vetements, les meubles,
l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur inflammables
loin de l’appareil.
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the Nordic QT gas
stove.
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The GF100 Nordic QT may be located on or near
conventional construction materials, however, proper
clearance to combustibles must be maintained in order
to provide adequate air circulation around the appliance.
Also, it is important to provide adequate access around
the stove for servicing and proper operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this
manual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material 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 may be located behind noncombustibles.
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 considered combustible.
Hearth Requirements
Never burn any other materials in your Nordic QT gas
stove, it is strictly designed for use with natural gas or
propane fuel ONLY.
·Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servic-
ing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
The Nordic QT gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.
If this appliance will be installed on any combustible
material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal or wood, or a listed hearth
pad. This floor protection must extend the full width
and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove
carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor
protection. See fig. 1.

Venting Requirements
The Jøtul GF100 Nordic QT gas stove may be installed
with a vertical or horizontal termination and must
conform to the configuration requirements described
below.
This appliance is approved for use with vent systems
from the following manufacturers:
• Simpson Dura-Vent GS
• Selkirk Metalbestos
• Security Vent Ltd.
• Amerivent Corporation
Use parts of one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX
VENT COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS
IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
Installation of any components not manufactured or
approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties and could result in property damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.
The approved vent configurations described in this
manual are derived from extensive testing under controlled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance performance
can be negatively affected by variables present in the
installation environment, i.e: atmospheric pressure,
strong prevailing winds, adjacent structures and trees,
snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be
taken into consideration by the installer and stove owner
when planning the vent system design.
Vent Restriction
The Nordic QT is shipped with an Exhaust Restrictor Plate
which prevents overly strong draft that can cause poor
combustion and weak flame picture. The Exhaust
Restrictor should be installed on any stove using a
vertical termination or snorkel termination.
Additional restriction may be needed depending the
overall vent height. Most vent manufacturer’s offer inline vent restrictors that install between two pipe
sections. Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Remove the glass panel and log set.
2. Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two sheet metal
screws in the rear wall of the firebox below the
exhaust hole. See fig. 5.
3. Install the restrictor plate over the lower half of the
exhaust hole and secure the plate using the same
screws that were just removed.
4. Reinstall logs and glass.
IMPORTANT
• JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT:
APPLY A 1/8” BEAD OF HIGHTEMPERATURE (750°F)
SEALANT TO THE MALE
SECTION OF THE INNER
VENT PIPE. THE CEMENT
SHOULD FORM A SEAL
BETWEEN THE INNER AND
OUTER PIPES.
• NEVER MODIFY ANY
VENTING COMPONENT, OR
USE ANY DAMAGED
VENTING PRODUCT.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING
AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A
SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCE. EACH
DIRECT VENT GAS APPLIANCE MUST HAVE ITS OWN
SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM. COMMON VENT SYSTEMS
ARE PROHIBITED.
• IF VENTING SYSTEM IS DISASSEMBLED FOR ANY
REASON, REINSTALL PER THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
FOR THE INITIAL INSTALLATION.

VERTICAL RUN
HORIZONTAL RUN
The Jøtul GF100 DV Nordic QT is approved for vertical
venting through a ceiling or to a roof termination
following these guidelines:
The termination should fall within the shaded area of
the grid depicted in fig. 6 below.
Maximum Vertical should not exceed 15 ft. (4.57 m)
In no case shall any discharge opeing on the termina-
tion cap be less than 18” (457 mm) horizontally from
the roof surface. See fig. 7.
Steep roofs, nearby trees, and predominantly windy
conditions can contribute to poor draft and/or
promote down-draft occurances. Increasing the
height of the vent may alleviate these conditions.
Use approved vent manufacturer’s Wall Straps to
support an offset pipe run at three feet intervals to
avoid excessive stress on the offsets.
Whenever possible use 45° elbows instead of 90°
elbows as they are less restrictive to exhaust gas and
intake air flow.
A firestop is required at every floor. Firestops are
available from all vent manufacturers. The opening
should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension.
• ANY VENTING WITH A VERTICAL RISE MUST
TERMINATE (END) WITHIN THE SHADED
AREA.
• ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES
TO COMBUSTIBLES.
Any venting that is exposed above the first floor,
regardless of attic space or living space, must be
enclosed. Always maintain the required 1" clearance
from all sides of the vertical vent system.
A vertical run in any horizontally-terminated system
must rise a minimum of 1 ft. See fig. 12.
Install the Exhaust Gas Restrictor in all vertically
terminated or snorkel terminated vent systems. See
Vent Restriction on page 8.
