Safety Information
Location
This appliance will reach high surface temperatures
during normal operation. Please read the following
notes to help ensure safe operation.
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 flam-
mable 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.
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 GF100 Nordic QT 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 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, firerated sheet rock is considered combustible.
Electrical Hazard
When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the
optional forced air Blower Kit, 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 supplied with a threeprong (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 Kit when performing
routine service to the Allagash gas stove.
Hearth Requirements
The Allagash gas stove CAN NOT be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl flooring, linoleum or Pergo®. If you
wish 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.

Venting Requirements
There are two types of venting configurations approved for use with the Allagash gas stove - Horizontal Termination and Vertical Termination.
The GF3 DVII Allagash is approved for use with the
following vent components:
Simpson Dura-Vent GS
Secure Vent - Security Chimneys Intl. Ltd.
Amerivent Direct
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. Use
parts from one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT
COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN
THE SAME SYSTEM.
The approved vent configurations described
herein 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: strong
prevailing winds, snow accumulation, etc. These
conditions should be taken into consideration by the
installer and stove owner.
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 ANY
DAMAGED VENTING
PRODUCT.
FOLLO THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE VENT
MANUFACTURER FOR
EACH VENT PART.
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.

Figure 4. Vertical Vent Roof Penetration Height.
Vertical Venting Requirements
(Vertical Termination)
· The minimum height of a vertically terminated
system shall be no less than 7'. The maximum
height shall be no more than 35'.
· With steep roofs, nearby trees, and predominant
windy conditions, poor draft or down draft conditions can occur. In these cases, increasing the
height of the vent may improve the situation.
· 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.
Jøtul recommends the use of Simpson Dura-Vents
Wall Straps. (#988).
· Whenever possible use 45° elbows opposed to 90°
elbows. This offers less restrictions for the flow of
flue gases and intake air.
NOTE: Vertical termination may result in reduced
flame height and heat output due to the suction
of natural draft.
· Vertical Termination Height: In no case shall any
discharge opening on the cap be less than 2' (610
mm) horizontally from the roof surface. See Figure 4.
· A firestop is required at every floor. The opening
should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension.
Jøtul recommends the use of Simpson Dura-Vent
Firestop (#963).
· 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.
· It may be necessary to add restriction to a vertical
venting installation, so that the draft is not too
strong and creates incomplete combustion.
The Allagash is equipped with sliding restriction
plates that can be adjusted to compensate for
excessive draft. See Figure 5.

Horizontal Venting Requirements
Follow these guidelines if any part of the installation
incorporates a horizontal run or terminates horizontally.
The maximum horizontal run made directly off the rear
of the stove shall be no more than 12" and must then be
connected to a 14" snorkel cap (Simpson Dura-vent #982).
The horizontal termination cap must maintain a 3"
clearance to any overhead combustible projections
exceeding 2 1/2" or less. Maintain 12" clearance from
projections exceeding 2 1/2". See Figure 8, page for
complete termination clearance information.
Any horizontal run of vent must be level or have a 1/4"
rise for every foot of run toward the termination cap.
NEVER ALLOW THE VENTING TO SLOPE DOWNWARD,
AS HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY RESULT AND CREATE A
HAZARDOUS CONDITION.
Vent Pipe Clearance to Combustible Materials: For all
horizontal runs, a 2" top clearance and a 1" side and
bottom clearance must be maintained.
Wall Pass-through: A minimum 10" X 10" square cutout
is required to maintain proper clearances through
combustible wall construction. The opening must be
framed in. Simpson Dura-Vent Wall Thimble #942 or
Secure Vent Wall Radiation Shield SV4RSM must be
used for the wall pass-through. Optional decorative
plates are available to finish the interior side of the
wall pass-through.
IMPORTANT: Follow the vent manufacturers installa-
tion instructions provided with each vent component.
DO NOT FILL AIR SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF INSULATION.
MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO THE TERMI-
NATION CAP. SEE FIG. 10.
Do not recess the termination cap into a wall or siding.
Install a Vinyl Siding Standoff between the vent cap
and the exterior wall (Simpson Dura-Vent #950). to
protect vinyl siding from overheating.
