Safety Information
Location
During normal operation, the GF 300 DV 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 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.
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
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 servic-
ing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
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
Vent Restriction
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 VENT-
ING 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.
SEALANT
Figure 5.
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 dis-
charge 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.
See Fig. 6
Detail
Figure 7. Use a nut driver to change the Exhaust
Restrictor setting.
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.
