Safety Information

During normal operation, the GF 300 DV 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 DV gas stove.

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed ON or NEAR the GF 300 DV 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 DV gas stove.

Never burn any other materials in your GF 300 DV 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 DV 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 GF 300 DV 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 GF 300 DV 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

Amerivent Corporation

Security Vent Ltd.

Selkirk Metalbestos

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 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

Vent Restriction

The GF 300 DV is equipped with an Exhaust Restrictor Plate which enables you to regulate the flow of exhaust gas. The plate prevents overly strong draft that can cause poor combustion and weak flame picture. Follow the guidelines below, and on the following pages, to determine the correct restrictor plate setting for your particular installation configuration.

Exhaust Restrictor

The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at the top right side of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving a pivot pin into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY OPEN (D) position at the factory. See Fig. 7. The four positions correlate to the termination zones (A,B,C,D) diagramed in figures 9-12. Consult these Vent Window diagrams on pages 10-11 to determine the setting you should use.

Additional restriction may be needed depending the overall vent height. If necessary, use Simpson Dura-Vent Restrictor Disk #929.

Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:

1.Use the Vent Window diagrams to determine which setting position to use.

2.Remove the Top Plate.

3.Locate the pivot pin at the right side of the firebox top. Use a 7 mm or 9/32 nut driver to loosen the nut on the pivot pin and then push the pin to the left to disengage it from the current factory-set position. Move the pin forward and into the slot appropriate for your specific vent configuration. See figs. 6 and 7.

4.Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.

Vertical Vent Termination

The Jøtul GF 300 DV can be vertically vented through a ceiling or to a roof termination with the following guidelines:

The termination should fall within the shaded areas of the grids depicted in the Vent Window diagrams on pages 10 - 11.

Maximum Vertical run should not exceed 35 ft. (10.66 m).

Minimum Vertical run must be at least 8 ft. (2.43 m).

Max. Colinear Horizontal run is 2 ft. (61 cm).

Vent Terminus Clearance: In no case shall any discharge opening on the cap be less than 18 in. (610 mm) horizontally from the roof surface.

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 Wall Straps to support an offset pipe run at three feet intervals to avoid excessive stress on the offsets.

Elbows: Four 45°, or two 90° elbows may be used. Do not include the 45° elbow attached to the stove. 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. 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.
