General Information
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAIN-
TAINED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.
The installation and repair of this appliance must
be done by a qualified service person. Failure to
properly install and maintain this heater could
result in an unsafe or hazardous installation,
which may result in a fire, explosion, property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
This appliance should be inspected before use
and at least annually. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept
clean.
Glass Front
Do not operate the Firelight gas stove with the glass
front removed, cracked, or broken. Replacement of
the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person. Only remove glass for routine
service. Always handle glass carefully.
Optional Forced Air Blower Kit
This appliance must be electrically connected and
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current NFPA 70National Electric Code of CSA C22.1 - Canadian
Electrical Code.
(The blower must be plugged into a grounded
outlet).
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
The installation must conform to local codes. Your
local Jøtul dealer can assist you in determining
what is required in your area for a safe and legal
installation. Some areas require a permit to
install a gas burning appliance. Always consult
your local building inspector, or authority having
jurisdiction, to determine what regulations apply
in your area.
REMEMBER: Your local officials have final author-
ity in determining if a proposed installation is
acceptable. Any requirement that is requested by
the local authority having jurisdiction, that is not
specifically addressed in THIS manual, defaults to
local code. In the absence of local codes, the
installation requirements must comply with the
current National codes. In the U.S., these requirements are established in the National Fuel Code,
ANSI Z223.1.(NFPA 54). In Canada, the codes have
been established in CAN/CGA B149 Fuel Installation Code.
Installer l’appareil selon les codes ou reglements
locaux, ou, en l’absence de tels reglements, selon
les Codes d’installation CAN/CGA-B149.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS STOVE IF ANY PART HAS
BEEN UNDER WATER. call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas
control which may have been under water.
Safety Information
During normal operation, the Firelight gas stove will
reach high surface temperatures. Therefore:
Due to the high operating temperatures, this
appliance 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 Firelight gas stove.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not
be placed ON or NEAR the Firelight 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 flam-
mable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the
Firelight gas stove.
Never burn any other materials in your Firelight
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.

Installation
Requirements
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, you must also consider
the proximity of traffic areas, furniture, draperies,
etc.
This appliance may be located on or near
conventional construction materials. HOWEVER,
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 Firelight 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.
Hearth Requirements
The Firelight gas stove CANNOT be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.
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. See Fig. 1.

Vent Requirements
There are three types of venting configurations
approved for use with the Firelight gas stove:
• Vertical Termination
• Hearthmount Co-Linear (Vertical Termination)
• Horizontal Termination
The GF600 Firelight is approved for use with the
vent systems listed below. Use parts of one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT COMPONENTS
FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN THE SAME
SYSTEM.
• Simpson Dura-Vent GS
• Amerivent Corporation
• Security Vent Ltd.
• Selkirk Metalbestos
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 or bodily injury.
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. See Fig. 9. The
cement should form a seal
between the inner and
outer pipes.
• NEVER modify any
venting component or
use a damaged venting
component.
• 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 other gas appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must have its own separate vent
system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
• If the venting system is disassembled for any
reason, re-install according to the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
SEALANT
Vent Restriction
The GF 600 DV Firelight includes two rectangular
Exhaust Restrictor plates and one square Air Inlet
Restrictor Plate as shown in Figure 5. These are
located in the parts bag. The plates are used to
compensate for draft characteristics that would
otherwise interfere with proper burner performance such as low heat output, weak flame
picture, or inefficient combustion.
Exhaust Restrictor Plate Installation
• Both Exhaust Restrictor Plates (#129642) MUST
be installed in all Co-linear vent systems and any
vertically terminated vent run exceeding 7 feet
(210 cm) in length.
1. Remove the Glass Panel and Log Set.
2. Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two sheet
metal screws in the rear wall of the firebox
ABOVE EACH exhaust outlet. See Figure 5.
3. Install a restrictor plate over the upper half of
each exhaust hole and secure the plate using the
same screws that were just removed.
4. Reinstall logs and glass.

Air Inlet Restrictor Plate Installation
• The Air Inlet Restrictor (#129347) MUST be installed with any Co-linear Vent system.
1. Remove the Glass Panel and Log Set.
2. Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two sheet
metal screws (A) and Rear Log Shelf from the back
of the firebox. See Figure 6.
3. Using the right hand sheet metal screw, reinstall
the Log Shelf with the restrictor plate between
the Shelf and the Back Wall. The plate should
cover the lower right air inlet.
4. Reinstall logs and glass.

The GF 600 DV Firelight can be installed using a
Hearthmount Co-linear Flexible Vent System,
designed for installation into a solid fuel burning
masonry fireplace. See Figures 7 and 8.
Refer to the vent manufacturer’s instructions for
venting components and installation details.
