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

Vertical Venting and Termination
The GF 600 DV Firelight can be vertically vented
through a roof or ceiling. Follow these guidelines
Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly
windy conditions, can promote poor draft or
down draft conditions. In such cases, an increase to
the height of the vent may improve performance.
If an offset or elbow is necessary in the vertical
rise, the vent pipe must be supported every
three feet to avoid excessive stress on the
offsets. Use listed Wall Straps from any of the
approved vent suppliers.
Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of
90° elbows as they offer less restriction to the
flow of flue gases and intake air.
A firestop is required at every floor penetration.
The opening should be framed to 10" X 10"
inside dimension. A listed wall thimble is
required as a firestop.
Any venting that is exposed above the first floor must
be enclosed regardless of attic space or living space.
Always maintain the required 1" clearance from all
sides of the vertical vent system.
ANY VENTING WITH A VERTICAL RISE MUST TERMINATE (END) WITHIN THE SHADED AREA.
Restrictors required on:
• All Co-linear (flex pipe)
• All coaxial (rigid pipe) venting higher than 7
feet.
• Both restrictors must be used when restriction is
required.
• Always maintain the proper clearances to
combustibles.
35 Ft.
(10.67 m)
30 Ft.
(9.14 m)

Horizontal Termination
The horizontal termination cap must maintain a
3” clearance to any overhead combustible
projections that are 2 1/2” or less. It must also
maintain a 12” clearance from projections that
exceed 2 1/2”. See Figure 9.
Minimum vertical rise from the top exit position
is a 24” section vent pipe. See Fig. 10.
A horizontal vent run made directly off the rear
of the stove must terminate ONLY with a 36”
Snorkel Cap.
The maximum horizontal run shall include no
more than a single 24” section of pipe. See
Figure 11.
The termination cap must not be recessed into the
wall or siding. Do not fill air space in wall around
termination cap with any type of insulation.
A minimum 11” X 11” square hole is required for
the proper pipe clearance through a wall penetration. A 10” x 10” opening is suitable with use
of Simpson Dura-Vent Wall Thimble #942.
Any horizontal run of vent must be level or have
a 1/4” rise for every foot of run toward the
termination cap.

Gas Connection
NOTE: IF THE OPTIONAL BLOWER KIT (# 129161) IS
TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE
INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY
LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR
AS POSSIBLE. USE OF A 90° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE
VALVE TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE FOR
THE BLOWER. See Figure 15.
The gas supply line connection is made to the
valve just inside the left rear leg. The Gas supply line
should be 3/8" or 1/2" diameter, 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 shutoff valve (gas cock)
and union to be installed in the supply line and in
the same room as the appliance for servicing and
maintenance. See Figure 17.
T-handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance with Code 248 CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (for propane units be sure to
use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on
gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water
solution. Never use an open flame to check for
leaks.
Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page
22 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
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. The gas control valve on the stove is equipped
with pressure test points for gauge connections. The
gauge connections are located on the front of the
valve under the On/Off/Pilot- knob. See Fig. 18.
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
KNOB SET ON HIGH.

High Altitude Adjustment
The appliance and its main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing on that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing its individual manual gas
shut-off valve (gas cock) during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system that is
equal to or exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

TO THE VALVE CAN RESULT.
When installing the GF 600 DV Firelight gas stove in
high altitude situations (above 2500') it becomes
necessary to compensate for the thinner air (less
volume of oxygen per cubic foot). High altitudes
affect the atmospheric pressure and heat value of
gaseous fuels. Lower oxygen content in the air and
lower gas viscosity require the use of a different
orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the
burner tube.
In the U.S.,
THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN
AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF
THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE
INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE FILLED OUT BY
THE INSTALLER AND ADHERED TO THE APPLIANCE
AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED
SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DERATING.
In Canada,
This unit has been tested for installation at high
altitudes in accordance with Canadian test standard CAN/CGA-2.17.
THE DERATING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.
For installations from 610 - 1370 meters (2,0004,500 ft.) the orifice size is 3.3 mm for natural gas
and #48 mm for propane.
18
SEE THE HIGH ALTITUDE ORIFICE CHART on the
page 19. For high altitude installations, consult your
local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer
must convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, the information sticker must be filled out by
the installer and applied to the appliance at the
time of the conversion.
Derating Procedure
To derate this unit, install the appropriate orifice per
the High Altitude chart.
1. Remove the two ¼” hex head screw that holds
the burner tube/log support to the bottom of the

Air Shutter Adjustment / Flame
Appearance
The GF 600 DV FIRELIGHT gas stove is shipped from
the factory equipped as a NATURAL GAS STOVE. If
the stove is converted for propane, it will be necessary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube to
achieve the proper gas to air mixture. The proper air
shutter settings are:
1/2” open for natural
7/8” open for propane
The air shutter can also help achieve the desired
flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a
matter of preference, however most people enjoy a
warm yellowish flame.
Air Shutter Too Open - the appliance will
generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an
“anemic” flame.
Air Shutter Too Closed - the appliance will
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 in
the flames and lack of combustion air entering the
air shutter opening.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the burner
tube and using a phillips head screwdriver loosen
the screw at the air shutter and adjust accordingly.
Be sure to retighten the screw that holds the air
shutter setting. Reassemble the stove and close the
door. Allow stove to burn 30 minutes on the HIGH
setting, observing the flame continuously. If the flame
appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process
described above until the flame is as desired.
See Fig. 13.
WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

The four-piece log set is packaged in bubble wrap
inside the firebox.
Do not handle the log set with your bare
hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic fibers.
1. Remove the Grille and Top Plate from the stove.
Release the Glass Clips on top of the firebox. Lift
the Glass Panel straight up and out of the stove.
Remove the log set package.
2. Install the Rear Log, oriented as shown in Fig. 20.
Place the log on the shelf (Rear Log Support)
against the back wall of the firebox. Push it over
to the right rear corner.
3. Install the Front Log on the Log Support over the
center of the burner tube. The pins in the Front
Log Support will engage with holes in the
bottom of the Front Log.
4. Install the Cross-over Log and Left Log as shown
in Fig. 21. Engage the pins in the Front Log with
the corresponding holes in the bottoms of the
upper logs and position the other ends in the
notches on the Rear Log.

Placement of the Embers
The package of Ember stones, located in the
hardware bag, will simulate glowing coals when
the burner is operating. For best results, spread the
stones evenly across the burner tube screen. “Pea”
size embers create the best appearance, while too
large a “chunk” can create long stringy yellow
flames. All of the embers do not have to be used.

Wall Thermostat
Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit ther-
mostat, placed in the same room as the heater,
typically 5’ off the floor. Avoid drafty areas or any
area that may affect the accuracy of the thermo-
stat.
The thermostat should be connected to the
stove using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a
maximum length of 35 feet of wire.
Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the
two lower terminals on the terminal block located
ont the valve. Do not overtighten the connections.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT ANY OTHER
WIRES. See Fig. 22.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be
connected to the two connection screws on the
thermostat base plate per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
For thermostatic operation, the On/Off/T-Stat
switch must be in the T-stat position, and the pilot
light must be on.
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.
1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the
appliance 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. All
subsequent lightings of the stove will not require
purging the gas line unless the supply line is shut off.
2. PILOT FLAME: 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 Figs. 23.
CAUTION:

gas control valve that provides 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 1.0” to 1.5” between the
LOW and HIGH settings. See Fig. 24.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT.
CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS
DETECTED. 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 19.

Operation
Familiarize yourself with the controls of the GF600
Firelight. Make sure that anyone else using the
appliance is also familiar with the controls and
operation procedures. Always follow the Lighting
Instructions on the inside back cover of this manual
and also located on the Rating Plate attached to the
burner assembly.
1. Once the pilot is lit, burner operation is controlled
by the rocker switch located at the left rear
corner of the stove. Use the T-STAT position for
the optional thermostatic or remote control
functions.
2. During the first few fires, you may notice odor
and/or smoke from the stove. This is normal and
results from burn-off of manufacturing residue
and curing of materials. You may find it helpful to
provide additional ventilation and fresh air to
alleviate this condition.
3. Condensation may develop on the glass when the
burner is first lit. This “fog” will disappear as the
heater warms up.
4. Keep the controls and the area under the appli-
ance free of debris, vacuum this area frequently.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids.
If a vacuum is used during any service on the
stove, ALWAYS be sure the stove is cold.
5. This appliance has a continuous burning pilot
flame. Exercise caution when using products
having combustible vapors. Always shut-off gas
supply while servicing the stove.
6. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
WITH THE GLASS REMOVED CRACKED OR BROKEN. Replacement of the glass should be done by
a licensed or qualified service person. Use only
replacement glass provided by your authorized
Jøtul dealer. Never use any substitute materials.
WARNING: OBSERVE CAUTION WITH THE GLASS.
THE GLASS PANEL MAY SHATTER UNEXPECTEDLY
IF STRUCK WITH AN OBJECT. ALWAYS HANDLE
THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE. WHEN SERVICING
THE STOVE ALWAYS PULL THE GLASS ASSEMBLY
STRAIGHT UP FOR REMOVAL.
7. Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe
surface with a clean, damp soft cloth. Follow with
a dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to
scratch the glass surface.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.
23
Maintenance
The GF 600 DV Firelight gas stove and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO
THE STOVE BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK
IS PERFORMED ON THE STOVE.
General cleaning: The firebox should be vacuumed
out annually to remove any surface build up. Be
sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and
burner orifice and burner tube. Also, when vacuuming the log set, be sure to handle it carefully as it is
very fragile.
Gasket inspection: It is important that the glass
gasket be inspected at least annually. Examine the
rope gasket for signs of deterioration and make
sure the gasket has a positive seal. This is important to prevent combustion gases from escaping
into the room. Replace the gasket if necessary.
Refer to the replacement parts list on page 26.
Always replace any damaged or broken parts
on the GF 600 DV Firelight with JØTUL AUTHORIZED
PARTS ONLY. These are available through your Jøtul
dealer. Never use any substitute parts on your GF
600 DV Firelight gas stove.
Record the following information to help your
