Installation
Requirements
The GI425 DV Camden Gas Insert can be installed in
most solid fuel burning fireplaces of either masonry
construction or a prefabricated factory built fire-
place.
Prior to any installation of the GI425 DV Camden
the existing chimney exhaust flue must be thor-
oughly cleaned and completely inspected by a
qualified chimney sweep or fireplace service person.
Do not install this insert into a chimney that is
damaged. Any repairs must be made prior to install-
ing the insert. If you are unsure of the condition of
your fireplace and chimney, contact a professional
fireplace technician or your local authorized Jøtul
dealer for professional assistance.
DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS OR MORTAR FROM THE
FIREPLACE OR CHIMNEY STRUCTURE. However,
masonry or steel may be removed from the smoke
shelf and adjacent damper frame area to accommo-
date installation of a chimney liner, provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the
fireplace or chimney, and will not reduce protection
for combustible materials.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommo-
date installation, use anchors or masonry nails to
attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate to
the back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where
it will be readily seen should the insert be removed.

ances.
This fireplace insert is specifically designed for
use with 3” Type B vent pipe components or a Listed
Flexible gas liner.
Do not modify or alter the construction of the
gas insert or any of its components to enable it to fit
into a fireplace. Any modification of the insert will
void the warranty, certifications and approvals of
the unit and could be dangerous.
