•Due to the high operating temperatures this appliance should be located out of traffic 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 or clothing ignition.
•Young children should be supervised while they are in the same room as the Allagash gas stove.
•Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed ON or NEAR the Allagash 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 Allagash gas stove.
•Never burn any other materials in your Allagash 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 non-combustibles.
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,“firerated” sheet rock is considered combustible.
Electrical Hazard
When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the optional forced air Blower Kit, the stove must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current NFPA 70National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.
The Allagash Blower Kit is supplied with a threeprong (grounding) plug for protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
Always unplug the Blower Kit when performing routine service to the Allagash gas stove.
Hearth Requirements
The Allagash gas stove CAN NOT be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl flooring, linoleum or Pergo®. If you wish to install this appliance on any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be installed that is either metal, 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 the carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor protection.
Note: the hearth requirements are the same when using the optional short leg package.

Venting Requirements
There are two types of venting configurations approved for use with the Allagash gas stove - Horizontal Termination and Vertical Termination.
The GF3 DVII Allagash is approved for use with the following vent components:
Simpson Dura-Vent GS
Secure Vent - Security Chimneys Intl. Ltd. Amerivent Direct
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. Use parts from one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
The approved vent configurations described herein 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: strong prevailing winds, snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into consideration by the installer and stove owner.
IMPORTANT
•JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT: APPLY A 1/8” BEAD OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE (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
•FOLLO THE INSTALLATION SEALANT INSTRUCTIONS PRO-
VIDED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER FOR EACH VENT PART.
•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.PRODUCT.

Figure 4. Vertical Vent Roof Penetration Height.
Vertical Venting Requirements
(Vertical Termination)
·The minimum height of a vertically terminated system shall be no less than 7'. The maximum height shall be no more than 35'.
·With steep roofs, nearby trees, and predominant windy conditions, poor draft or down draft conditions can occur. In these cases, increasing the height of the vent may improve the situation.
·If an offset or elbow is necessary in the vertical rise, it is important to support the vent pipe every three feet, to avoid excessive stress on the offsets. Jøtul recommends the use of Simpson Dura-Vent’s Wall Straps. (#988).
·Whenever possible use 45° elbows opposed to 90° elbows. This offers less restrictions for the flow of flue gases and intake air.
NOTE: Vertical termination may result in reduced flame height and heat output due to the“suction” of natural draft.
·Vertical Termination Height: In no case shall any discharge opening on the cap be less than 2' (610 mm) horizontally from the roof surface. See Figure 4.
·A firestop is required at every floor. The opening should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension. Jøtul recommends the use of Simpson Dura-Vent Firestop (#963).
·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.
·It may be necessary to add restriction to a vertical venting installation, so that the draft is not too strong and creates incomplete combustion.
The Allagash is equipped with sliding restriction plates that can be adjusted to compensate for excessive draft. See Figure 5.

Horizontal Venting Requirements
Follow these guidelines if any part of the installation incorporates a horizontal run or terminates horizontally.
•The maximum horizontal run made directly off the rear of the stove shall be no more than 12" and must then be connected to a 14" snorkel cap (Simpson Dura-vent #982).
•The horizontal termination cap must maintain a 3" clearance to any overhead combustible projections exceeding 2 1/2" or less. Maintain 12" clearance from projections exceeding 2 1/2". See Figure 8, page for complete termination clearance information.
•Any horizontal run of vent must be level or have a 1/4" rise for every foot of run toward the termination cap.
NEVER ALLOW THE VENTING TO SLOPE DOWNWARD, AS HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY RESULT AND CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
•Vent Pipe Clearance to Combustible Materials: For all horizontal runs, a 2" top clearance and a 1" side and bottom clearance must be maintained.
•Wall Pass-through: A minimum 10" X 10" square cutout is required to maintain proper clearances through combustible wall construction. The opening must be framed in. Simpson Dura-Vent Wall Thimble #942 or Secure Vent Wall Radiation Shield SV4RSM must be used for the wall pass-through. Optional decorative plates are available to finish the interior side of the wall pass-through.
•IMPORTANT: Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions provided with each vent component.
•DONOTFILLAIRSPACEWITHANYTYPEOFINSULATION.
•MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO THE TERMINATION CAP. SEE FIG. 10.
•Do not recess the termination cap into a wall or siding.
•Install a Vinyl Siding Standoff between the vent cap and the exterior wall (Simpson Dura-Vent #950). to protect vinyl siding from overheating.
