Safety Information
Installation
Due to the high operating temperatures this
appliance should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture, draperies, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to combustible mantels and
fireplace trim.
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 Acadia gas fireplace.
Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vetements, les
meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur
inflammables loin de l’appareil.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not
be placed ON or NEAR the Acadia gas fireplace.
Never allow any to use the fireplace if they are
unfamiliar with its operation.
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flam-
mable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the
Acadia gas fireplace.
Never burn any solid materials (wood, cardboard,
paper, coal, etc.) in this gas fireplace. 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.
Do not slam or strike the glass panel.
Were gloves and safety glases while performing
maintenance procedures.
Requirements
The GZ 550 DV Acadia Gas Fireplace and its vent
system must be installed within a totally enclosed
structure. The fireplace must be connected to the
specified vent and termination cap outside the
building. Do not vent into another room or inside
any part of a building.
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, steep roofs, nearby trees, snow
accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken
into consideration by the installer and home owner.
In such instances, system performance can often
be improved by an increase in the vent height or
installation of a high wind termination cap.
Placement and Framing
The combustible framing members of the fireplace
enclosure may be placed in direct contact with the
fireplace cabinet as specified in the illustrations on
the following pages. Use the standoffs integrated
into the sides and top of the front opening to locate
a combustible header and side framing members as
shown in the illustrations. See Fig. 1.
Electrical Power: If the optional Blower (#154967)
will be used, be sure to include provision for a
properly grounded, 120 volt house current outlet at
the fireplace structure.
Electrical Hazard
Be aware of electrical wiring locations when
cutting holes in walls and ceilings for termination.
The optional Acadia Blower (154960) must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
current ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code or
CSA C22.1-Canadian Electrical Code.
The Acadia Blower is 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 disconect the power supply when per-
forming routine service on the fireplace.
6
Parallel Installation
Although it is possible to place combustible framing
members in direct contact with the rear surface of
the cabinet, the fireplace must be located forward
of the back wall with adequate clearance to accommodate the vent adaptor and subsequent lengths
of vent pipe. Consideration must also be given to
maintaining a minimum 1 inch (25 mm) clearance
between a vertical vent pipe and any combustible
materials to the rear of the unit. See Figs. 2, 3, and 4.
Corner Installation
A corner installation will require that the Vent
Adaptor be installed in a top exit position. Horizontal
terminations will then require use of a 90° elbow.
Figs. 5 and 5a show rear termination with 5/8
Simpson Dura-Vent Wall Thimble #1247.

Hearth Protection
The GZ550 Acadia is approved for installation
without hearth protection. Combustible materials
may be used on the floor directly under and in front
of the fireplace. NOTE: The floor surface under the
unit must be level with or higher than the surface
in front of the unit in order for the fireplace
Controls Door to open properly.
Facing and Clearance Requirements
The following clearance and hearth specifications
are the minimum requirements for the GZ550
Acadia gas fireplace. Measure clearances from the
steel fireplace cabinet - not the cast iron surround
panels. See Figures 6 - 8.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, 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. “Fire
Resistant” materials are considered combustible they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. “Firerated” sheet rock is also considered combustible.
Maintain the proper clearances to the appliance
to allow adequate flow of ventilation air around
the fireplace.

Variable Vent Restriction
Vent restriction is accomplished by sliding two
restrictor panels over the combustion air intake ports
located at the back of the firebox, just below the
logset base. See Fig 19. The panel levers will be most
accessible with removal of the logset.
The panels are set in a fully open position at the
factory. Push each lever toward the center of the
firebox to increase restriction in one inch increments,
e.g: 1 inch travel = 1/3 closed position.
Use the Vent Window diagrams in Figs. 12-13 as a
starting point to determine the best restriction
setting. The ideal restrictor setting for a particular
vent system will vary depending on the specific
installation characteristics. Once the fireplace is
operating, further restrictor adjustment may be
necessary to obtain the best performance. See the
Operation chapter of this manual for further information.
Optional Blower
Install the optional Blower (154967) before installing
the gas supply line. The 125 CFM heat-activated fan
unit will be located in the bottom rear of the fireplace cabinet.
Power Requirement
The blower 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.
A three-prong (grounding) power supply plug is
included 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.
Blower Function
The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch
(snapstat) that will ONLY function if the blower
control switch is either in the HI or LOW setting.
Once the unit has been operating for a short time
and the firebox heats, the blower will start on either
the HI or LOW speed.
Conversely, once the unit is off the blower will
continue to operate until the snapstat cools and
turns the blower off.
If the blower is not needed, place the blower
control switch in the OFF position and the snapstat
will not function.
CAUTION: Always unplug the Blower when
performing any routine service to the Acadia gas
fireplace.

Connect the Gas Supply
Gas Supply Requirements
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.
Shutoff Valve
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. This allows for the
disconnection of the fireplace for servicing and
maintenance. See Fig. 25.
A T-handle gas shutoff valve is required in
Massachusetts in compliance with Code 248CMR.
The fireplace and gas control valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures lower than 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply by closing the manual shutoff
valve.
Leak test:
• Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
• Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page
23 of this manual or on the fireplace’s rating
plate.
• Brush or spray all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution.
• If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a
gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas
control knob to the OFF position.
Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest
for any gas leaks.
Control Valve Connection
The gas supply line connection is made to the
left side of the valve. The gas supply line should be a
minimum 3/8" 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. In Canada,
methods vary depending on local code. If local codes
permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installation
and service. For those locales where flexible gas
lines are not permitted, use the 3/8” iron fitting to
make the connection at the left side of the Control
Valve. See Figures 25 and 26.
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.
Figure 25. Gas supply line fittings.
Gas Pressure
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
fireplace 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. Gauge connections are identified by:
• IN/E for inlet or supply pressure (the amount of
gas coming to the valve.)
•OUT/A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas
that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)
14
EA
Figure 26. Pressure test point as located on the
front of the valve.
Page 15
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing its individual manual gas
shutoff valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or
exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Inlet Pressure
Natural Gas: 5.0 WC (1.24 kPa) 7.0 WC (1.74
kPa)
Propane: 11.0 WC (2.73 kPa) 13.0 WC (3.23

MIN MAX
Natural Gas: 1.6 WC (.39 kPa) 3.5 WC (.87 kPa)
Propane: 6.4 WC (1.59 kPa) 10.0 WC (2.48 kPa)
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB
SET ON HIGH. Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure
include:
Insufficient gas pressure:
• Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient
millivolts.
• Little variation in flame picture between HI and
LO settings.
• Insufficient gas to support more than one appli-
ance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.
Excessive gas pressure:
• Permanent damage to valve causing complete
appliance shut down.
• Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of
the power generator and consequent shut down.
• Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel
to air mix.

Manifold Pressure
High Altitude Adjustment
Installations located at altitudes from 2000 - 4500 ft.
(610 M - 1370 M), require compensation for the
thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher
altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat
value of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in
the air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of
a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner tube.
For high altitude installations consult the local
gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction
for proper rating methods. If the installer must
convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, use
Jøtul High Altitude Kit (#137403).
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

System Check
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 located on
the fireplace’s rating plate and back cover of this
manual.
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. It is imperative
that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8” of the
thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8” of
the quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame
should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three
ports. See Figure 48.
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: Your Jøtul GZ550 Acadia
gas fireplace is equipped with a variable gas
control valve. This valve provides easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat
output. To adjust the flame between the HI and
LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the
center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust
approximately 1.0” to 1.5” between the HI and LO
settings.
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.
Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
THE ACADIA GAS FIREPLACE IS SHIPPED FROM THE
FACTORY EQUIPPED TO USE NATURAL GAS. IF THE
BURNER HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH
PROPANE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE AIR
SHUTTER ON THE BURNER TUBE TO ACHIEVE THE
PROPER GAS TO AIR MIX. See Figure 26.
WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFES-
SIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the
desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of individual preference, however a
warm yellowish flame is most common. See Fig. 49.
Closing the air shutter - 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.
Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is
blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This
flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME
APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GAS
VALVE IN ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER
THAN THE FULL “ON” POSITION.

the firebox floor. See Fig. 28.
2. Loosen the locknut and push the stem to the left
to open the air inlet and allow more air into the
burner. Make adjustments in 1/8” (3 mm) increments. Retighten the locknut.
3. Reassemble the fireplace including glass assem-
bly. Allow the fireplace to burn 15 -20 minutes on
the HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously.
4. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat
the process described above until the flame is as
desired.
Air Inlet Settings
Natural Gas - 1/4” open
Propane - 1/2” open
IMPORTANT: Run the fireplace for a minimum
of 15 to 20 minutes to produce an accurate
representation of the flame appearance. This
warm-up should be done before and between
any air shutter adjustment.

Operation
1. Your Acadia gas fireplace can be operated manu-
ally using the On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or it can
be automatically controlled using an optional
wall-mounted thermostat and/or remote control
device. A separate switch is provided for the
optional forced air blower kit.
Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the controls. See Figs. 50 and 51.
Gas Control - Used to control the Pilot light and
gas flow from the supply line.
Regulator - Allows you to adjust heat output and
flame intensity.
Piezo Ignitor - Push button pilot light ignition.
ON/OFF/ T’STAT Switch - Allows for manual or
thermostatic control of the burner.
Always follow the Lighting Instructions located
on the inside Back Cover of this manual.
2. For the first several hours of operation, it is
common that you will detect some odor as the
metal and manufacturing materials cure under
heat. This condition is temporary and can be
alleviated by allowing plenty of fresh air to
circulate through the area.
3. Condensation may develop on the glass upon
each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will

to the replacement parts list on page 25.
The Acadia gas fireplace 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 FIREPLACE AND UNPLUG THE
FORCED AIR BLOWER BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE FIREPLACE.
General Cleaning
The firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove
any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment
and handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be
sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and
burner orifice and burner tube.
Glass Care
Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe the
surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow
with a dry, soft towel. Take care not to scratch the
glass surface.
Glass Panel or Gasket Removal
1. Open the Lower Grill Panel.
2. Release the glass clips at either side of the bottom
of the firebox.
3. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift
to disengage it from the three retainer tabs at the
top of the firebox.
4. Lay the assembly on a flat surface and carefully lift
the metal tabs that secure the glass panel to the
frame. Remove the old gasket material.
5. Install the new glass panel and gasket in the glass
frame and secure with metal tabs. Do not over
tighten tabs as that may damage the glass.
ONLY USE JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS. NEVER SUBSTITUTE NON-JØTUL PARTS ON THIS FIREPLACE.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON
THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS
WHEN IT IS HOT.
Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at
least annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs
of deterioration and make sure the gasket has a
positive seal. Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer
