Jotul GF3 DVII Stove User Manual


 
Operation
1. The Allagash is equipped with an On/Off/T-stat
rocker switch or can be controlled using an optional
wall mounted thermostat. A separate switch is
provided for the optional forced air blower kit.
2. When lit for the first time, the stove will emit an
odor for several hours. This odor results from
paint curing and the burn-off of manufacturing
residues. This condition can be alleviated by
opening a window to allow fresh air circulation
during this break-in period.
3. Condensation may occur on the glass each time the
burner is turned on. This fog will disappear as the
appliance becomes hot.
4. Keep the controls and the area under the appliance
free of debris, vacuum this area frequently. Always
keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable liquids.
If and when a vacuum is used on any service for the
stove, ALWAYS be sure the stove is OFF.
5. Remember, this appliance has a continuously
burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using
products with combustible vapors.
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

Maintenance
The Allagash Direct Vent gas stove and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PER-
FORMED ON THE STOVE, ALWAYS TURN
OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE STOVE AND
UNPLUG THE BLOWER IF INSTALLED.
General Cleaning:
The firebox should be vacuumed 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 combus-
tion gases from escaping into the room. Replace the
gasket if necessary, refer to the replacement parts
list on page 23.
Always replace any damaged or broken parts on
the Allagash with JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS ONLY.
These are available through your Jøtul dealer. Never
use any substitute parts on your Allagash Direct Vent
stove.

with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry,
soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the
glass surface.
