Maintenance
Your Jøtul GI425 Camden 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 SER-
VICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE FIRE-
PLACE.
Annual Cleaning
Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney,
should be inspected and cleaned every year. If the
intake and exhaust venting is disassembled for any
reason, it should be reassembled and sealed accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions provided at
the initial installation.
Burner and Logset
Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment,
Blower Assembly and Convection Airways to BE
CERTAIN THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
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, 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.
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 to
the replacement parts list on page 29.
Glass Panel or Gasket Removal
1. Open the Lower Grill Panel and release the glass
frame latches at either side of the bottom of the
firebox.
2. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift
to disengage it from the three retainer tabs at the
top of the firebox. Lay the assembly on a flat
surface, protecting the frame from scratches
using a blanket or towel.
3. The glass panel is held in place by four compres-
sion clips. Use a screwdriver to pry these up off
the edge of the glass retaining walls. See fig. 31.
4. Remove the old gasket material. See fig. 32.
