WELCOME TO JØTUL:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Jøtul gas stove.
We at Jøtul are very happy you have made the
decision to warm your hearth with a Jøtul product.
Your new Jøtul Allagash has inherited the benefits
learned from more than 140 years of producing
stoves. Jøtul is the worlds largest manufacturer
of solid fuel burning appliances and has been
making cast iron wood and coal stoves since 1853.
The Allagash incorporates the most advanced gas
technology with the warm traditional style of cast
iron. With proper care and operation, your new
Jøtul will last many, many years.
The Jøtul Allagash gas stove is a gravity vented
gas fireplace heater. The Allagash B-Vent gas
stove can only be vented vertically directly to
the outside, using type B-vent pipe.
The Jøtul Allagash gas stove is designed to operate
on NATURAL GAS or PROPANE only. For
safe and efficient operation the stove is equipped
with a millivolt gas control valve with a piezo
ignitor. Electrical power is only required when
operating the OPTIONAL forced air blower, if
installed on the stove (part # 129161).

Hot Surfaces
The Allagash gas stove will, during normal
operation, reach high surface temperatures
therefore:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY OR FLUE
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OF
ANY KIND.
· 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, lessence ou autres liquides a
vapeur inflammables loin de lappareil.
· 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.
Blower/Electrical Hazard
When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the
optional forced air Blower Kit (part #129161) the
stove must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the current NFPA 70- National Electrical
Code or CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.
The Allagash Blower Kit is already supplied with
a three-prong (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 when performing
routine service to the Allagash gas stove.
LOCATION:
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns; However, proper venting systems and
access to the fuel supply are also important issues.
Due to the high surface temperatures of the
Allagash, always consider the proximity of traffic
ways, furniture, draperies, etc.
This appliance may be located on or near
conventional construction materials.
always maintain the proper clearances to
combustibles, as this provides adequate
ventilation air around the appliance.
The following clearances and hearth requirements
are the minimum requirements when installing
the Allagash gas stove near or on combustible
surfaces. Always provide adequate access around
the appliance for servicing and proper operation.
A combustible surface 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 are 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, fire-rated sheet rock
is considered combustible.
The Allagsh B-Vent gas stove is not to be
connected or installed using any warm air duct
system.
Always maintain the proper clearances to the
appliance for the proper flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the stove.
HOWEVER,

FLOOR PROTECTION:
PARALLEL INSTALLATION
The Allagash gas stove CANNOT be installed
directly on carpeting, vinyl flooring, linoleum or
Pergoã.
If it is desired 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.
Minimum hearth protection
under the Allagash B-Vent gas
stove:
22 3/4 wide X 18 3/4 deep
Note: the hearth requirements are the same when
using the optional short leg package.
STOVE CLEARANCES:
Minimum clearances for the Allagash B-Vent
gas stove are as follows:
Rear clearance =2(50mm)
(measured from draft hood)
Ceiling =18(460mm)
(measured from top of stove)
Corner clearance =3(76mm)

VENTING REQUIREMENTS:
The Allagash is specifically designed to operate
using 4 Type B vent pipe components or a Listed
Flexible gas liner.
FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES LISTED
BELOW FOR THE PROPER VENTING OF
THE ALLAGASH B-VENT STOVE!
All venting components must be installed in
accordance with the terms of their listing and
manufacturers 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.
Any
The remaining space around the liner in a
When terminating through the roof refer to the
UNUSED flue or masonry enclosure can be
used as a passage way for venting the Allagash:
PROVIDED the flue is relined using Type B
4 vent or Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be
used to vent any other appliance.
Gas Vent Rule for proper vent termination
height. See Figure 1.
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 9.
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 9.
Venting on the Allagash CANNOT be less than
4 in diameter or greater than 4 in diameter.
Figure 1
NO venting can terminate horizontally or
below roof eaves.
Passage through combustibles (walls, ceilings)
must be with Type B venting and must
maintain listed clearances.
It is recommended that any horizontal runs
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.
Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed
in any living space.
7
When decorative 6 pipe is installed to cover
the venting any Listed Flexible Gas liner must
be connected directly to the stoves draft hood.
Use of single wall connector pipe as a vent is
prohibited for use with the 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.

When installing at an altitude above 2000 the
minimum vertical rise
becomes 12 from the
draft hood.
If more than two feet of venting is exposed to
the outside, the entire exterior vent system
must be enclosed in an insulated chase system.
