General Information

THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED

BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.

The installation and repair of this appliance must be done by a qualified service person. Failure to properly install and maintain this heater could result in an unsafe or hazardous installation, which may result in a fire, explosion, property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

This appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

The installation must conform to local codes. Your local Jøtul dealer can assist you in determining what is required in your area for a safe and legal installation. Some areas require a permit to install a gas burning appliance. Always consult your local building inspector, or authority having jurisdiction, to determine what regulations apply in your area.

REMEMBER: Your local officials have final authority in determining if a proposed installation is acceptable. Any requirement that is requested by the local authority having jurisdiction, that is not specifically addressed in THIS manual, defaults to local code. In the absence of local codes, the installation requirements must comply with the current National codes. In the U.S., these requirements are established in the National Fuel Code, ANSI Z223.1.(NFPA 54). In Canada, the codes have been established in CAN/CGA B149

Fuel Installation Code.

Installer l’appareil selon les codes ou reglements locaux, ou, en l’absence de tels reglements, selon les Codes d’installation CAN/CGA-B149.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS STOVE IF ANY PART HAS

BEEN UNDER WATER. Call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which may have been under water.

Safety Information

During normal operation, the Nordic QT gas stove will reach high surface temperatures. Therefore:

Due to the high operating temperatures, this appliance 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.

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 servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Location

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

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.

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 SEALANT 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.

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.

Vertical Venting

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 termination 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 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.

•ANY VENTING WITH A VERTICAL RISE MUST

TERMINATE (END) WITHIN THE SHADED

AREA.

•ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES.
