Safety Information
During normal operation, the GF 300 BV 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 GF 300 BV gas stove.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed ON or NEAR the GF 300 BV 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 GF 300 BV gas stove.
Never burn any other materials in your GF 300 BV 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 GF 300 BV 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. “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 GF 300 BV 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.

Vent Requirements
The GF 300 BV Allagash is specifically designed to operate using 4” Type B vent pipe components or a Listed Flexible gas liner.
•All venting components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s instructions.
•The minimum height of a vertically terminated system shall be no less than 7', and the maximum height shall be no more than 35'. See diagrams page 9.
•With steep roofs, nearby trees, and in predominant windy conditions, poor draft or down draft conditions can occur. In these cases, increasing the height of the vent or high wind termination caps may improve the situation.
•ELBOWS: 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.
•Whenever possible use 45° elbows opposed to 90° elbows. This offers less restrictions for the flow of flue gases.
Maximum number of 90° elbows: three Maximum number of 45° elbows: four
•TOTAL MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN ANYWHERE IN THE VENTING CONFIGURATION IS 4 FEET. The distance between any 45° elbows is considered a horizontal run. See diagrams, page 10.
•Any Type B vent passing through a roof must have a flashing, storm collar, thimble and a Type B cap is required. See diagrams, page 10.
•Venting on the Allagash CANNOT be less than 4” in diameter or greater than 4” in diameter.
•Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used as a passage way for venting, but the flue must be relined using Type B 4” vent or Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
•The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.
Figure 5. Termination Height Requirements.
•When terminating through the roof refer to the Gas Vent Rule for proper vent termination height.
See fig. 5.
•NO venting may terminate horizontally or below roof eaves.
•Passage through combustibles (walls, ceilings) must be with Type B venting and must maintain listed clearances.
•Any horizontal run should have an upward slope of 1/4” per foot toward the termination cap.
•When venting through a thimble into a masonry flue, any venting exposed in the room must be Type B venting, or a flexible liner sleeve within 24 ga. 6” stove pipe.
•Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed in any living space.
8
•When 6” diameter decorative pipe is installed to cover the venting any Listed Flexible Gas liner must be connected directly to the stove’s draft hood.
•Use of single wall connector pipe as a vent is prohibited for use with the GF300 Allagash B-Vent stove.
•A firestop is required at every floor.
•Any venting that is exposed above the first floor, regardless of attic space or living space, must be enclosed. Always maintain the required clearance from all sides of the vertical vent system according to manufacture.
•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.
•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 APPLIANCES.
•BE SURE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS DEFINED IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH EACH VENTING COMPONENT.
•When installing at an altitude above 2000’ the minimum vertical rise becomes 12’ from the draft hood.
NOTE:
A chimney system located outside the building envelope may be subject to downdrafting and/or flow reversal. Atmospherically-vented appliances, such as B-Vents, may not be compatible with these chimney systems.
All atmospherically-vented appliances (B-Vents) are affected by atmospheric conditions and house pressurization. For example, a B-Vent appliance vented to an outside chimney system in a basement will likely be subject to negative pressure. This type of installation is not recommended.
Venting through a Masonry or Prefabricated Manufactured Chimney
Storm collar required
Top sealing
achor plate
Type B vent or Listed Flexible Gas
Liner.
Use of Type B vent liner within outside chimneys is recommended to help keep the gases warm and stabilize draft.
Max. Height 35 ft. Min. Height 7 ft.
Always maintain the proper clearance to mantel and trim
Maximum offset is 4 ft.
Recommended damper sealing plate to seal flue chamber to prevent heat loss
Listed termination cap required
WARNING: FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS DIAGRAM OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH THIS APPLIANCE MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
