Log Set Installation
The Allagash is equipped a one piece log set and is
packaged in bubble wrap inside the firebox. The log
set must be removed from the packaging and
arranged in the unit prior to start up of the gas
stove. Do not handle the log set with your bare
hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation
from the ceramic fibers.
To install the log set, remove the packaging and
place the log set inside the firebox, centered from
left to right and completely against the rear wall of
the stove. See Fig. 18.
Also, the stove is shipped with a package of
Glowing Embers. These are to be individually
sprinkled across the screen above the burner tube. It
is best to equally space these embers for optimum
flame appearance. Note: All of the embers do not
need to be used.
CONTACT WITH THE CERAMIC FIBER LOGS AND
GLOWING EMBERS MAY CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION.
SHOULD THAT OCCUR, GENTLY WASH HANDS WITH
WARM SOAPY WATER.
Air Shutter & Flame Picture
Adjustment
The GF3 DVII Allagash is shipped from the factory
equipped to use NATURAL GAS. If the stove is con-
verted to use Propane, it will be necessary to adjust
the air shutter on the burner tube to achieve the
proper gas to air mix. THE AIR SHUTTER SHOULD BE
SET FULL OPEN FOR PROPANE USE AND THREE
QUARTERS OPEN FOR NATURAL GAS USE.
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.
Too large a setting: The appliance will generate a
flame that is blue and transparent, or an anemic
flame.
Too small a setting: 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. See Fig. 12 for reference.
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.
WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
