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 world’s 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).

Input Rates

The input rate on the Allagash gas stove is 24,000 4” BTU/hr maximum input on the high setting for both natural gas and propane, adjusted down to 19,000 BTU/hr minimum on the low setting, for

both natural gas and propane.

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 70National 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.

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.

Minimum hearth protection under the Allagash B-Vent gas stove:

22 3/4” wide X 18 3/4” deep

FLOOR PROTECTION:

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.

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)

(measured from rear corners)

Right side clearance = 4”(102mm) Left side clearance = 10” (255mm)

(for access to the lighting instructions)

All venting components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for proper pipe clearances. Any horizontal venting requires a

2” (50mm) top clearance off top of pipe.

ALCOVE

Minimum Alcove Width = 41”(1042mm) (minimum side clearance in an alcove becomes 8” on right side of stove and 10” on left side of stove).

Maximum Alcove Depth = 24”(610mm) Minimum Alcove Height (off stove)= 18”(460mm)

(minimum height off top casting of stove).

Pipe clearances =see manufacturer’s listing.

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 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 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.

•Any 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.

•The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.

•When terminating through the roof refer to the Gas Vent Rule for proper vent termination height. See Figure 1.

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 stove’s draft hood.

•Use of single wall connector pipe as a vent is prohibited for use with theAllagash 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.

•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.
