Vent Guidelines

  • All vent components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s instructions. See the Appendix on page 46 for a listing of approved vent manufacturers.

  • The minimum height of termination cap from the top of the unit shall be no less than 10 ft.(3.05 m), and the maximum height shall be no more than 35 ft. (10.67 m). See figures 7 and 8.

  • Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly windy conditions can promote weak draft or occasional downdrafts. In such cases, increasing the height of the vent or installation of high wind termination caps may alleviate the condition.

  • HORIZONTAL RUNS are not permitted anywhere in the venting system.

  • Vent liners may be no less than 3 inches diameter nor greater than 3 inches diameter with the following exception:
    PROPANE NOTICE: For LP installations with vent runs greater than 10’, it is recommended that a 4” exhaust liner be used to ensure best operating performance.
    This is especially appropriate for installations in warmer climates and intended for extended run times. Vent pipe adapters (3” to 4”) are available from Jotul-approved venting manufacturers. When 4” Exhaust liner is used, it is recommended that the 3” Intake liner run all the way to vent terminus.

  • Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used as a passageway for venting PROVIDED the flue is relined using 3” Listed Flexible Gas Liner.

  • The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or factory-built flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.

  • Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed to any living space.

  • Installation of any components not manufactured or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties and could result in property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.

  • Never modify any venting component, or use any damaged venting product.

GAS VENT RULE

  • THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCE.
  • The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacent walls is specified by building codes. A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.

Vent Installation Procedure
This appliance must be vented through the chimney by a pair of 3 inch flexible aluminum liners listed for use with gas appliances. One duct is attached to the exhaust port on the top of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must run the full length of the chimney and be directly connected to the chimney termination cap. See figure 7 and 8.

The other 3 inch liner will be attached to the air intake port and will provide fresh air for combustion to the unit. This liner must extend through the damper area of the fireplace and at least into the first tile liner of the chimney. (U.S. ONLY). This liner can also extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap. See NOTICES below. See also figures 7 and 8.

NOTICE
If the intake flex does not extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the unit and the termination cap – A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at the damper area). See figure 7.

To avoid cross-venting the insert, label the duct to be used for the exhaust conduit at both the top and bottom ends. This helps ensure that the exhaust duct is attached to the exhaust collar on the chimney termination and to fireplace at the collar on the right as you face the insert.

CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts must extend the full length of the chimney and be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

NOTICE
THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIR INTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI Z21.88- 2014-CSA 2.33-M04 TEST METHODS AND RESULTING ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. THE CODE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MUST BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THIS INSTALLATION METHOD.

Venting through a Masonry Fireplace

  1. Measure height of the chimney to fireplace opening. Determine if both the intake and exhaust will be extended to the top of the chimney. In Canada, both liners must extend the full length of the chimney and be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

  2. Cut the appropriate lengths of flex duct for both the intake and exhaust. Label both ends of the Exhaust duct to ease identification inside the house.

  3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to attach the ends of the duct(s) to the chimney termination kit as appropriate.

  4. Drop the liners down the chimney from the top and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.

  5. Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the chimney flue with high temperature sealant.

  6. Secure the appropriate direct vent cap to the termination kit.

  7. Inside the fireplace, fully extend the duct and trim any excess so that the ends hang approximately 15” from the floor of the fireplace.

  8. If the Intake duct is not attached to the chimney termination kit:
    A. Install a length of flex duct that extends at least into the first flue tile.
    B. The fireplace chimney flue must be permanently sealed-off from the room.
    C. A direct vent cap is required to allow fresh air into the chimney flue and ultimately into the intake duct to the insert.
    D. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.

  9. Remove the Vent Adaptor from the unit by pushing it to the rear. Connect both ducts to the appropriate collars.

  10. Position the insert without Backer Plate half-way inside the fireplace and start the Vent Adaptor onto the top of the firebox. As you face the front of the insert, the Intake collar is on the left and the Exhaust is on the right.

  11. Secure the ducts to the appropriate collars on the Vent Adaptor with sheet metal screws or duct clamps. No sealant is required. See Vent Connection instructions on page 13.

WARNING: FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS DIAGRAM OR FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED WITH THIS APPLIANCE MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Factory-built Fireplace Installation
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE STARTING THIS INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE THAT A GAS LINE CAN BE INSTALLED OR IS INSTALLED TO THE FIREBOX. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED OR LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER.

A factory-built fireplace will require modification prior to installation of the insert.

Modification

  1. Remove any factory-built glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh, fuel grates and other components attached to the firebox. Smoke shelves, shields, fuel grates and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
    Do not cut out any sheet metal parts of the fireplace into which the insert will be installed.
    If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” (37.5 mm) or less may be drilled trough the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanshiplike manner. This access hole must be sealed with noncombustible insulation after the gas supply has been installed.

  2. Remove the damper assembly. This includes the damper blade, handle and any linkage. Two 3” liners must be able to pass through the damper area.

  3. Remove any fire screen or door assembly. This is usually accomplished with removal of a support rod on the inside of the fireplace frame.

  4. Remove the metal ash lip, if appropriate, to allow the insert to sit flat within the fireplace. Be sure to reinstall any screws removed.

  5. Attach the fireplace conversion notice to the back of the factory-built fireplace.

VENT NOTICE:
If the intake flex does not extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the unit and the termination cap – A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at the damper area). See fig. 8.
To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct to be used for the exhaust conduit at both the top and bottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts must extend the full length of the chimney and be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
INSTALLATION OF A HIGH-WIND TERMINATION CAP IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL IPI APPLIANCES TO HELP INCREASE PERFORMANCE.

We Recommend:
• ICC EXCEL DIRECT – Use TM-CT3 with TM-CTS Cap Shield
• M&G Duravent – Use Wind Screen #46DVA-VWG.

However, for those areas where flexible gas lines are not permitted, use of a 3/8” iron nipple and union is recommended. See fig. 10.

The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S., however, Canadian methods vary depending on local code.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.

An integrated gas cock is built into the fuel supply line just upstream of the valve. This feature conforms to building codes requiring a shut-off valve be located within the same room as the appliance. The gas cock allows for the disconnection of the insert for servicing and maintenance. See figs. 11-a and 11-b.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure to use compounds that are propane resistant). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution or electronic gas sensor. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.

INSTALLATION OF A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE 248 CMR.


Gas Pressure Test
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe operation of the gas insert. It is important that the correct pressure is established at the time of the installation.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing its internal manual gas shut-off valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that is equal to, or less than pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

  1. Use the Glass Frame Latch Tool to open and close the internal gas cock located on the supply line in the valve compartment. See fig. 11-a.
  2. Connect a manometer to the Inlet and Manifold test connection points located on the face of the Control Valve. See fig. 12. Adjust the pressure to the appropriate specifications indicated in the chart below.
    INLET or supply pressure (the amount of gas coming to the valve.) Indicated by the arrow embossed on the valve.
    OUT – for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH THE VALVE REGULATOR
ADJUSTED TO THE HIGHEST SETTING.


Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure include:
Insufficient gas pressure:

  • Small pilot flame which can result in poor pilot rectification and/or frequent burner outages.
  • Little variation in flame picture between HI and LO regulator settings.
  • Insufficient gas to support more than one appliance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.

Excessive gas pressure:

  • Permanent damage to valve causing complete appliance shut down.
  • Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of the flame sensor and consequent shut down.
  • Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel to air mix.

WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW THE INLET GAS PRESSURE TO EXCEED 14.0” WC (OR 1/2 PSIG) AS SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VALVE MAY RESULT.

• Reinstall the Regulator Heat Shield and screw.

High Altitude Adjustment
When installing this appliance at altitude above 2000 feet, it is necessary to compensate for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in the air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner. In the U.S.

THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE FILLED OUT BY THE INSTALLER AND APPLIED TO THE APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DE-RATING.

In Canada
This unit has been tested for installation at high altitudes in accordance with Canadian test standard CAN/CGA-2.17. THE DERATING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE. High Altitude Installations:

2000 ft. to 4500 ft. installations (or 610 m – 1370 m)
See Table 1.

For high altitude installations consult the local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, the information label must be completed by the installer and applied to the appliance at the time of the conversion. See fig. 19.

Operation

Initial System Check and General Operation

WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WHO HAS NOT READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER WHERE CHILDREN CANNOT REACH IT.

WARNING:
SEVERE INJURY. THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE SET TO OPERATE THERMOSTATICALLY. BE AWARE THAT THE APPLIANCE MAY BE VERY HOT EVEN WHEN THE BURNER IS NOT APPARENTLY OPERATING. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE.

WARNING:
OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE GLASS PANEL. THE GLASS MAY SHATTER IF STRUCK BY AN OBJECT. ALWAYS HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE. REMOVE GLASS ONLY FOR SERVICE.

This appliance is designed to be operated with use of the Remote Control System. Run the following procedure to test basic burner function before completing the installation into the fireplace.

  1. Battery Installation: In the event of a power failure, install the four, 1.5v AA batteries into the IFC Back-up battery box in the right side firebox compartment. See Fig. 68. Do not leave them in the battery box permanently as the box will corrode.
    Install three 1.5v AAA batteries into the Remote Transmitter.
    The transmitter and receiver have already been synchronized at the factory. (If synchronization is lost, follow instructions on page 36.)

  2. Connect the appliance to 120 VAC house current.

  3. Initial System Purge: When lighting the appliance for the first time, or after a long period of disuse, it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the rating plate and back cover of this manual.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Each flame should be steady – not lifting or floating.
The flames should be blue in color at the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges. It is important that the pilot flame fully engulf the top 1/4” of the flame rectifier / sensor. Both pilot flames should project one inch out of the pilot hood. See Fig. 72, page 34. The pilot flames may be adjusted if necessary using the adjustment screw located on the gas valve body, Fig. 12, page 15. Adjustments should be made only by a qualified gas technician.

Figure 68. Fireplace Control Switch / Battery Box location.

7. Condensation will develop on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will dissipate as the glass heats. Using CPI mode will minimize condensate.

8. IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to clean the inside of the glass panel after the first few fires. A white powdery residue will be evident which results from the burner media curing. Use a non-abrasive household glass cleaner or warm water. IF THE GLASS IS NOT CLEANED, THIS RESIDUE CAN CAUSE THE GLASS TO BECOME PERMANENTLY ETCHED. DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS.

9. Keep the control compartments free of dust and debris. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, or flammable liquids.
10. This appliance can be operated with a continuously burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using household products containing combustible vapors.
11. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS PANEL 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 SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS.

Flame Picture / Air Shutter Adjustment

WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

The volume of air supplied to the front and rear burners is regulated by individual air shutters which are controlled in turn by cables located at the each side of the firebox. The right cable controls the Rear Burner air (fig. 68) and the left cable controls the Front Burner air (fig. 69).

  • PUSH the cable IN to OPEN the air shutter and increase air volume.
    PULL the cable OUT to decrease air volume.

The air shutter adjustment allows you to achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of personal preference, however most people enjoy warm, yellowish flames of medium proportions.

The simple air shutter adjustment feature allows you to dial-in the burners to acquire a flame picture “sweet spot” that combines efficient combustion with pleasing aesthetics.

Adjusting Air Supply Settings
On first firing, push each Air Shutter cable in to fully open the air shutters. Place the Mode Control to ON and operate both burners set on HIGH for a minimum of 15 – 20 minutes to allow the insert components to come up to stable operating temperature.

The burners are very sensitive to air supply volume.
Make air adjustments in 1/8” – 1/4” increments, waiting a few minutes to observe the flame pattern changes before making subsequent adjustments. Repeat the process until a satisfactory flame picture is achieved.

Insufficient combustion air will promote inefficient combustion resulting in very long yellow flames and soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the firebox walls, and potentially on the termination cap.

Very blue, transparent, or weak “anemic” flames are indications of too much air which, although efficient, are not very attractive.

Generally, Propane will require a more open air shutter setting than will Natural Gas.

Fireplace Operation

Burner Switch

  • ON : Power is available to the Burner(s) only. They will ignite at the last previous flame level setting.
  • REMOTE : Power is available for all appliance features.
  • OFF: The Burner will not operate.

Pilot Modes
• Continuous Pilot Ignition ( CPI )
CPI mode permits the pilot to burn continuously for up to seven days, even when there is no call for heat.
After seven days, the IFC will automatically shut off the pilot. If the unit has been left under thermostatic control, the unit will switch to IPI mode and the pilot will ignite at the next call for heat.
This feature allows the burner to function properly under a variety of adverse conditions. For example, it can be difficult to establish positive draft through a very long vent system, particularly in very cold weather. In such cases, the entire system will benefit as the heat generated by a continuous pilot flame will help establish a positive draft. CPI mode will also reduce glass condensation upon start-up.
Exercise caution when operating with a continuous pilot. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS HAVING COMBUSTIBLE VAPORS AROUND THE OPERATING FIREPLACE.

Intermittent Pilot Ignition ( IPI )
This feature allows the pilot flame to go out when there is no call for heat. Ideal for use with thermostatic or manual remote control, the Integrated Fireplace Control module ignites the pilot flame only when there is a call for heat. A battery back-up permits continued functionality in the event of a power failure.

Flame Picture
• NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS APPARENT. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSIST, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOW MORE AIR TO SUPPORT EFFICIENT COMBUSTION. See Adjusting Air Supply Settings on page 33.

Accent Lamp
The Accent Lamp is controlled by the hand-held remote transmitter. See page 38.
Heat generated from the accent lamp may assist in maintaining draft in very long vent runs and thereby help ensure consistent IPI start-up performance.

Blower Function
Two heat-activated, 95 cfm blowers assist in moving heat into the living environment. Power is supplied through the same circuit used by the other fireplace components. The blowers must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the current NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1 – Canadian Electrical Code.
The blower is controlled by the hand-held remote transmitter. See Fan Control, page 38.

Proflame 2 Remote Control

Features Overview
The Proflame 2 Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC) module incorporates electronic remote control of the Jøtul GI 635 functions. Together with the hand-held transmitter, the IFC controls front and rear burner operation both manually and thermostatically. It will also control flame modulation, blower functions, and accent lighting.

The IPI system (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) may also be switched to keep the pilot lit continuously for up to seven days (CPI mode – Continuous Pilot Ignition). If there is no call for heat during that period, the pilot will be automatically extinguished. The pilot will then be reignited at the next call for heat.

Power is provided to the IFC by 120V house current and is backed-up by a 6V battery pack (four, 1.5v AA) for operation during a power failure.

Remote Control Transmitter
The hand-held remote transmitter has all controls available on its face for reliable, ease of use. It gives room temperature readout, set temperature readout, all function abilities as well as childproof lockout and low battery indicator. Icons appear on the screen indicating which mode of operation you are controlling. The four button controls are easy to learn and simple to operate. The transmitter is powered by 3, 1.5V AAA batteries.

Remote Control Receiver
The receiver is integrated with the IFC board which is located within the valve compartment.

Integrated Fireplace Control (IFC)
The IFC is the electrical heart of the system. It provides power to all components and converts to 6.5v DC in the event of power failure. The IFC also sends power to the fan system and the accent light, however, when no line power is available, these features will not operate. The battery back-up only allows continued remote control of burner functions.

Sit 886 Modulating Valve
This valve has the ability to be stepped down in six increments between high and low. It can be done manually or by setting the remote control to the Smart thermostat modulation mode. Automatic modulation means that as the room temperature approaches the limit set for shut down, the valve gradually decreases or “stepsdown” the fire intensity. Conversely, as room temperature cools, the valve gradually increases flame intensity. The overall result is more comfortable, even heating that minimizes temperature peaks and valleys.

Pilot Assembly
The pilot assembly consists of a pilot hood, electrode, and a flame sensor. The electrode sends a spark to the pilot hood which ignites the gas. The sensor is then engulfed by the pilot flame, flame rectification occurs, and the pilot remains lit.

Intermittent Pilot Flame Rectification Process
When there is a call for heat, the pilot will automatically make two attempts to light the burner before locking out.

On the first attempt, the pilot will spark for up to sixty (60) seconds. If rectification occurs within that time, the burner will light. If rectification does not occur, the pilot will extinguish.

If the main burner ignites and rectification is lost, the system will extinguish the burner and immediately ignite the pilot and attempt to relight the burner three (3) more times. On the fourth attempt, the system will again light the pilot and then sit idle with only the pilot burning for sixty (60) seconds in order to establish draft to support combustion air flow.

If rectification still does not occur to keep the main burner lit, the system will “lock-out”.

To clear a lock-out condition:
1. In either IPI or CPI mode, key to OFF for 5 seconds.
2. Key to ON for 5 seconds.
3. Key back OFF again and wait for the audible IFC signal indicating the lock-out has been cleared. If no signal is heard, repeat these steps until a signal is heard.

INSTALLER / OPERATOR NOTE
Under certain conditions wherein draft is unstable or weak, it is advisable to run the system in Continuous Pilot mode (CPI). Warm weather, extreme cold weather, a long vent run, or high wind conditions are all contributing factors that can interfere with IPI functionality. A continuously running pilot can generate sufficient heat to help establish and maintain the draft strength required for rectification to occur.

WARNING:
OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE GLASS PANEL. THE GLASS MAY SHATTER IF STRUCK BY AN OBJECT. ALWAYS HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE.

ATTENTION:
• FOR INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE, CLOSE THE SUPPLY GAS COCK, SET BURNER SWITCH “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE FIREPLACE.

With proper care and maintenance, your appliance will provide you with years of enjoyment. If you experience any problem with your fireplace insert, contact your Jøtul Authorized Dealer for assistance.

KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR REFERENCE AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO ANYONE USING OR SERVICING THE INSERT.

This appliance and venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service technician

General Cleaning

  • Vacuum the front and back of the Safety Screen whenever dust or pet hair may be evident.
  • Vacuum the controls area under the firebox at least monthly or more frequently if pet hair is in the environment. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids. ALWAYS be sure the insert is cold and NO hot embers or sparks are present before using a vacuum cleaner.
  • The firebox should be vacuumed annually. Inspect the pilot assembly for corrosion and have any damaged components replaced by a qualified service technician. Remove any debris from burner ports, particularly the pilot carry-over ports. See fig. 64, page 29. Use a brush attachment to vacuum the log set.

Gasket Inspection

  • Inspect the glass gasket annually. Examine the gasket for signs of deterioration or stiffness and confirm that the gasket maintains a positive seal. This is important to prevent combustion gases escaping into the room. Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement process on page 40 and the parts list on page 45, fig. 102.

Accent Lamp Replacement

  1. Remove the cast iron overlay assembly, backer plate, and glass frame.,
  2. Remove the lamp fixture and bulb receptacle (three screws). See fig. 103, page 45. Replace with 222943 130V, 50W light bulb.
  3. Handle the new bulb with gloves. Skin oils will cause the bulb to fail prematurely. If you touch the bulb with your bare skin, wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
  4. Replace components previously removed.

Battery Replacement
A Low Battery condition is indicated by an audible “double beep” signal from when a command is transmitted.

  1. Disconnect electrical power from the appliance.
  2. Remove the cast iron overlay.
  3. The battery box located in the right side control compartment. Depress the cover plate tabs to open the box. Install four new AA batteries noting the polarity indicated on the front of the box.

CAUTION:
ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING
ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

Glass Care
Moisture condensation is a normal occurrence with gas appliances and particulate accumulation may appear on the inside surface to the glass. Use a dampened, soft cloth to clean the glass and polish with a dry, soft towel.

Specially-formulated ceramic glass cleaner may also be used.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR AMMONIA-BASED CLEANING SOLUTIONS. TAKE CARE TO NOT SCRATCH THE GLASS SURFACE.

Glass Replacement
To remove the glass panel or glass gasket:

  1. Use the Latch Tool to release the two glass frame latches on top of the firebox.
  2. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift up to disengage it from the firebox.
  3. Lay the assembly on a flat surface and use a flat blade screwdriver or pliers to pry up the four steel tabs that secure the glass panel at the corners of the frame.
  4. Install the new glass panel and gasket in the glass frame and secure with the steel tabs. Do not overtighten the tabs as that could break the glass.
    ALWAYS USE JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS. NEVER SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER PARTS.

WARNING:
OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE GLASS. THE GLASS PANEL MAY SHATTER IF STRUCK WITH AN OBJECT. ALWAYS HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE.

WARNING:
INSPECT THE GLASS SURFACE FOR SCRATCHES AS THESE CAN WEAKEN THE PANEL TENSILE STRENGTH. REPLACE THE PANEL IF ANY SCRATCHES ARE EVIDENT. USE ONLY JOTUL PN 157834. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL JØTUL, ITS PARENT COMPANY, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR DAMAGES TO A STRUCTURE OR ITS CONTENTS, ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW WHATSOEVER. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LENGTH OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, JØTUL MAKES NO ORAL, WRITTEN OR OTHER WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO JØTUL GAS STOVES OR FIREPLACE INSERTS.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on the length of implied warranties.

An authorized installer may have been provided with certain information related particularly to the Jøtul Gas Stove or Fireplace Insert; however, no authorized installer or other person who may service the appliance is an agent of JØTUL.
