Installation & Operating Instructions

The Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater, Model Nos. 2820, 2822, 2823, 2825, 2827 and 2828, is a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI Standard Z21.88b2001 and CSA-2.33b-2001 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA 2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.

The installation of the Jefferson Direct V ent/Natural Vent Room Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5 inches w.c. for Natural Gas and 10 inches w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.)

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases unless a certified kit is used.

Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of equipment shall be performed only by a qualified agency. The term “qualified agency” means any individual, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) installation or replacement of gas piping, or (b), the connection, installation, repair, or servicing of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar with all precautions required, and has complied with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

The Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service agency. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

The Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

The Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Room Heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

'Direct Vent' describes a sealed combustion system in which incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter and exit through two separate concentric passages within the same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air to support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through the side of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the atmosphere.

This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S. and Canada.

Vent Termination Clearances

When planning the installation, consider the location of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure

10.

Important: All vent clearances must be maintained. Check your vent termination clearances against Figures 10 and 11.

The vent should be placed so that people cannot be burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when the stove is operating.

The vent termination should be located where it cannot be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away from areas where it could become blocked by snow, etc.

Some considerations are:

• Obstructions or impediments to venting.

• Nearby combustible materials that could come into contact with combustion exhaust gases.

• Other nearby openings {within 9" (230mm)} through which exhaust gas could reenter the building.

• All vegetation within 3' (.9m) that may interfere with the draft.

Other factors that influence where the installation will be sited include the location of outside walls, where additional heat may be desired in the home, where the family members gather most regularly, and perhaps most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting system.

IMPORTANT Direct Vent Only

• The horizontal termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding.

• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent termination.

• Clearances around the vent termination must be maintained.

• For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe, parallel installations with minimum wall clearance have restricted access for connecting the Horizontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the maker’s instructions for recommended installation procedures.

20002191

Vermont Castings Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

Vent Termination Clearances - Direct Vent ONLY

Your stove is approved to be vented either through the side wall, or vertical through the roof.

• Vermont Castings, Majestic Products does not

require any opening for inspection of vent pipe.

• Only Vermont Castings, Majestic Products and

Simpson DuraVent venting components specifically approved and labelled for this stove may be used.

• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and

combustible materials is one (1") inch (25 mm), except where stated otherwise.

• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or

siding.

• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane

without an inclining or declining slope.

There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination hood.

Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

Location of Vent Termination

It is imperative the vent termination be located observing the minimum clearances as shown in Figure 9.

General Information

The Jefferson Heater is shipped from the factory as a Direct Vent Heater. It may be converted to a Natural Vent heater by installing the Vermont Castings Model Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft Hood Adapter.

The Jefferson Heater is approved for installation as a Natural Vent. CFM Direct Vent pipe could be used directly after the Draft Hood Adapter up to the ceiling, then B-vent pipe must be used. Do not mix types of Bvent pipe; use components from one maker or the other. Follow the vent component maker’s instructions exactly. The heater will also accept standard or enamelled 7” (150mm) diameter pipe, around the Type B venting, for decorative purposes only. (Fig. 32)

NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove is not used for Natural Vent applications.

The Jefferson stove, when installed as a Natural vent heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Fig. 64, Page 33)

ST358

Fig. 32 Decorative 7” pipe may be fitted around the B-vent pipe.

Operating the stove when it is not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system, or tampering with or disconnecting the vent safety switch, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

For U.S. installations: The venting system must conform with local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z22.1.

For Canadian installations: The venting system must conform to the current CSA B149.1 installation code.

Install the Vent Pipe

Apply a bead of sealant around bottom end of inner starter pipe (found in bag with logset) and attach to stove. Apply a bead of sealant around top of inner starter pipe and install the Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft Hood according to Draft Hood instructions. (Fig. 33)

Attach the first section of venting to the draft hood. Depending on the length of the individual venting sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe (if installed), you may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones. The sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with their seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually do not need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip sections. If the layout includes a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe visible in the room, at the ceiling. Complete the venting according to the vent maker’s instructions.

Operation

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the burner controls. Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 46. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 28 exactly.

During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being heated. Odors should dissipate within an hour or so, however, you can open a window to provide fresh air to

alleviate the condition.

Pilot and Burner Inspection

Each time you light your heater check that the pilot flame and burner flame pattern are as shown in Figure 47 or Figure 48 and Figure 49. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas technician for assistance. Do not operate the heater until the pilot flame is correct.

Troubleshooting / Honeywell #8420 Gas Control System

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure the external gas shutoff is in the “ON” position.

WARNING: REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK.

SYMPTOM

1. Spark ignitor will not light

2. Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following the lighting instructions

3. Pilot lights, no gas to burner, valve knob ON, remote switch (rocker switch) ON

POSSIBLE CAUSES

A. Defective or misaligned

electrode at the pilot

B. Defective ignitor (push

button)

A. Defective pilot generator

(thermocouple)

B. Defective automatic valve

operator

A. Remote switch or wires

defective

B. Thermopile may not gener-

ate sufficient voltage

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and push the ignitor button again. If pilot will not light, check gap at electrode and pilot - it should be 1/8” to have a strong spark.

Push piezo ignitor button. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If there is no spark at the pilot, and electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.

Check pilot flame. It must impinge on the thermocouple or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly uses both a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocouple operates the pilot flame. Tighten the thermocouple. The thermopile operates the main valve (ON and OFF). Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.

Turn valve knob to ‘Pilot’. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt meter should read greater than 10mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to conduct this test.

Check rocker switch and wires for proper connection. Use jumper wires across terminals at rocker switch. If burner lights, replace rocker switch. If okay, use jumper wires across rocker switch wires at the valve; if burner lights, wires are faulty or connections are bad.

1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into pilot bracket.

4. Frequent pilot outage

20002191

C. Plugged burner orifice D. Defective automatic valve

operator

A. Pilot flame may be too low

or high, (blowing or lifting), causing the pilot to drop out

B. Possible blockage of the

vent terminal

2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded. Remove rocker switch wires from valve terminals. If burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring from ground. It may be grounded to the appliance or the gas supply line.

3. Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while holding valve knob depressed in PILOT position and with rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.

Check burner orifices for debris, and remove. Turn knob to ON, place rocker switch to ON, millivolt

meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay and the burner does not light, replace the valve.

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.

Check the vent terminal for blockage.

Maintenance

Your Jefferson Gas Heater will provide years of service with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure that you stove continues to function properly.

Annual System Inspection

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn or broken parts.

Logset and Burner /

Cleaning and Inspection

Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean as necessary.

1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely before cleaning.

2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 59)

3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such as a counter protected by a towel.

4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT

OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.

5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are fragile and susceptible to damage. DO NOT

USE A VACUUM TO CLEAN THE LOGS OR BURNER.

6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.

7. Replace the Stove Front.

Care of Cast Iron

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the

painted surfaces

stove paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give better results than a single heavy coat.

looking new. Use high-temperature

TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE PAINTING.

WARNING: Let the glass cool completely before attempting to clean.

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also, initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.

Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.

Replace glass only with Vermont Castings approved parts. Refer to Page 34 for Replacement Parts. Refer to Figure 60 and previous instructions for removal of the damaged glass frame.

Lift the plate straight up and then out to disengage the tabs from the ribs at the bottom and sides.

Vermont Castings Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

Inspect the Vent System Annually

Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition.

ST208a

Fig. 60 Release the latches to release the glass frame.

Gasket Replacement

The Jefferson Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket to seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time, this gasket can become brittle and compressed and should be replaced. New gasket is available from your dealer.

Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool. Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.

1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel. (Figs. 59 & 60) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor blade to separate the glass and gasket from the frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. Use a cold chisel if necessary.

2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 2” (25-50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility knife.

3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the protective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the panel. Continue around the panel, applying a bout 6” at a time and being careful to not stretch the material. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 61)

4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone rubber sealant along the inside corner of the glass frame, all around the perimeter. Place the flat gasketed side of the glass panel back into the steel frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.

5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previously described.

ST179

Fig. 61 Wrap the gasket material around the outside edge of the glass.

Check the Gas Flame Regularly

To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check the flames periodically to confirm that they match Figure 62. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow after that.

Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from that shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer or a qualified technician for help.

ST234

Fig. 62 Correct flame pattern.

Stove Disassembly

If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assembly from the stove shell, support the firebox with solid stands about 6” (150mm) tall under the left and right outer edges of the firebox base. Do not set the firebox assembly directly on the floor; this can damage the control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the firebox.

Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat. If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect the thermostat leads from valve.

Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should only be done by a qualified gas service technician.

Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to the firebox as shown in the installation section, Page

14. Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox correctly , as shown on Page 20.
