Safety Information
Location
During normal operation, the GF 300 BV 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 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.
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
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 servic-
ing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
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
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.
must have a
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.
