Safety Information
Location
During normal operation, the GF 400 DV Sebago 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 400 DV Sebago gas stove.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed ON or NEAR the GF 400 DV Sebago 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 400 DV
Sebago 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 400 DV Sebago 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 400 DV
Sebago 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 400 DV Sebago 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 400 DV Sebago 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
HIGHTEMPERATURE (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.

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.
The GF 400 DV Sebago is equipped with Restrictor Plates
which enable you to regulate the flow of incoming
combustion air and exhaust gas. The plates prevent
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.
Intake Air Restrictor
This plate is located at the rear of the firebox behind the
burner plate. It is set in a CLOSED position at the factory
and should be left there for most vent configurations.
It should be opened only for snorkel terminations and
some short run horizontal terminations as specified on
the following pages. To adjust the Air Restrictor to the
OPEN position, locate and loosen the wing nut under the
burner and push it back as far as it will go. See Fig. 6.
Exhaust Restrictor
The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at
the top of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving a pivot
pin into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY OPEN
position at the factory. See Fig. 7.
Use the chart in Table 1 to determine the correct
position for your installation and follow the instructions
below to adjust it if necessary.
Additional restriction may be needed depending the
overall vent height. Use Simpson Dura-Vent Restrictor
Disk #929.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Remove the Top Plate.
2. Locate the pivot pin at the left side of the firebox top.
Loosen the wing nut on the pivot pin and push the pin
to the left to disengage it from the current setting
position. Move the pin toward the rear and then right
to engage it in the appropriate position indicated on
the firebox. See fig. 7.
3. Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.

Vertical Vent Termination
The Jøtul GF 400 DV Sebago 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
the pages 10-11.

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.
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.

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of this appliance. Correct gas pressure
must be established at the time of installation. For
more details, see the Gas Pressure section of this
manual (page 19).
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN LIGHTING YOUR STOVE.
Gas Supply Connection
Connect the gas supply line to the stove, before
installing the optional Blower.
If the blower will be installed, use a 45° elbow off the
control valve to create clearance required for the blower
installation.
The gas supply line connection is made to the left side of
the valve. The gas supply line should be 3/8" npt with a
1/2" diameter supply, or the appropriate size to provide
sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the
input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Canadian
methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock) and
union, to be installed in the supply line, and in the same
room as the appliance. This allows for the disconnection
of the stove for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 27.

Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish
soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions
on the inside back cover of this manual
or on the stove’s rating plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections
with the soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection or
seam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF
position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint
and retest for any gas leaks.
Gas Pressure
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of the GF 400 DV Sebago gas stove. It is
important that the correct pressure is established at
the time of the installation. Proper gas pressure
provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and
is instrumental in checking for gas leaks.
Pressure Test: Attach a manometer to the appro-
priate test point on the valve. See fig. 28. The gauge
connections are located on the front of the valve
under the On/Off/Pilot- knob. Gauge connections are
identified by:
E - for Inlet or Supply Pressure (the amount of
gas coming to the valve.)
A - for Manifold Pressure (the amount of gas that
is coming out of the valve to the burner.)
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROL

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Optional Wall Thermostat or
Adjustment
The GF 400 DV Sebago gas stove is shipped from the
factory equipped to burn Natural gas with the air shutter
set at the halfway position. Please be aware, however,
that this initial setting may not provide the optimal flame
picture in your particular installation. No single setting
will be appropriate for all vent configurations, fuel types,
or installation environments. The air shutter setting can
also be adjusted to achieve the desired flame appearance.
Flame appearance is a matter of individual preference,
however, most people enjoy a warm yellowish flame.
Too much air - the appliance will generate a flame
that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.
Too little air - the appliance may generate very long
yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black
deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the appliance,
and potentially, on the exterior termination cap. Sooting
is caused by incomplete combustion and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.
To adjust the air shutter: CAUTION! USE WORKGLOVES.
SURFACES MAY BE HOT!
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen the
wingnut located closest to you. See fig. 29. Slide the
wingnut stem forward to open the air shutter and
increase air. Slide the shutter stem back to decrease
the air supply.
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the
desired setting.
3. Operate the burner for 30 minutes on the HIGH setting,
observing the flame continuously. If the flame appears
weak, slow, or sooty, adjust the air shutter to a more
open position as described above until the flame is as
desired. Make adjustments in small increments and
allow the burner to settle in before making further
adjustment
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.

Remote Control
Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat
with this appliance. The thermostat should be placed in
the same room as the heater, typically 5 feet off the
floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may affect the
accuracy of the thermostat.
The thermostat should be connected to the GF 400
DV Sebago using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a
maximum length of 25 feet of wire.
Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the two
lower terminals on the terminal block located directly
above the ignitor button. Do not overtighten the
connections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT
ANY OTHER WIRES. See Fig. 30.
For thermostatic operation, the On/Off/T-Stat
switch on the back of the stove must be in the T-stat
position, and the pilot light must be running, as it is the
power source for the thermostat.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be connected to the two connection screws on the thermostat
base plate per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Remote Control
When using a remote, the remote receiver should be
wired to the terminal block the same way the thermostat would be. See the instructions above.
Follow the operating instructions included with the
Remote Control unit.
CAUTION:

Log Set Installation
NOTE: If appropriate, install the optional Antique Brick
Panel Kit before assembling the logset.
The GF 400 DV Sebago logset must be installed before
operating the burner. The logset includes five log pieces,
packaged inside the firebox, and a quantity of ember
stones packaged in the Miscellaneous Parts bag.
To install the log set, remove the packaging and place the
parts inside the firebox as illustrated in figs 32-37. Do
not handle the log set with your bare hands. Always
wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic
fibers.
The ember stones realistically simulate glowing coals
when the burner is operating. These should be spread
evenly over the burner plate and around the logs. DO NOT
OBSTRUCT THE PILOT ASSEMBLY OPENING. See fig. 37.
NOTE: You do not need to use all the ember stones.
With experimentation, you will find the arrangement
and quantity of embers that works best with your stove.
Depending upon the characteristics of your installation,
it is possible that too many ember stones can promote
sooting on the logs. Adjust the quantity of ember stones
as appropriate to maintain the best overall flame
picture.
THE CERAMIC FIBER LOGS AND GLOWING EMBERS CAN
IRRITATE YOUR SKIN. GENTLY WASH YOUR HANDS WITH
WARM SOAPY WATER AFTER HANDLING THE LOGS.

System Check
1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appli-
ance for the first time, it will take a few moments to
clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete,
the appliance will operate as described in the
lighting instructions. See the inside back cover of
this manual or the stove Rating Plate attached the
bottom of the stove. Subsequent burner starts will
not require purging the gas line unless the supply
line is shut off.
2. PILOT FLAME: You can monitor the pilot flame
through the view port located at the rear of the
Right Log. See fig. 36. The pilot flame should be
steady - not lifting or floating. The flame should be
blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of
yellow toward the outer edges.
The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8” of the
thermopile (to generate millivolt current) and the
top 1/8” of the thermocouple. The pilot flame
should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three
ports. See fig. 37.
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: This stove is equipped with a
variable gas control valve that allows easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat
output. To adjust the flame between the HI and
LOW setting, rotate the HI/LOW knob, located in the
center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust
approximately 1” to 2” between the LOW and HIGH
settings. See fig. 38.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK
LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS
PRESENT. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR
SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this
manual for proper air shutter settings and adjustments. Note: the more offsets there are in the vent
system, the greater the need for an air shutter
adjustment. See page 20.

The optional variable-speed blower will enhance heat
circulation around the firebox and out into the room.
The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch
(snapstat) that will ONLY function when the control
switch is in AUTO setting. After the fire has been
burning for a time, the snapstat will react to the heat
and activate the blower. Fan speed may be manually
adjusted with the rheostat knob. If the burner turns off,
the blower will be shut off automatically when the
stove cools down.
If automatic blower circulation is not desired, place
the blower control switch in the MANUAL position.
