Jotul GF3 DVII - Manual (Page 17)

High Altitude Adjustment
Installation at high altitude locations (above 2500'),
makes it necessary to compensate for the thinner
air (less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher alti-
tudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat
value of some gaseous fuels. The Allagash DVII
requires adjustment for Propane fuel at high alti-
tude, but not for Natural gas.
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 AD-
HERED TO THE APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE
CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY
PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THIS DERATING.
For installations from 610 - 1370 meters (2000-
4500 ft.) the orifice size for natural gas is #38 and for
propane gas #54.
SEE THE HIGH ALTITUDE ORIFICE CHART ON THIS
PAGE.
See the stove Rating Plate for additional infor-
mation. For high altitude installations consult the
local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdic-
tion for proper rating methods. If the installer must
convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, the
information sticker must be filled out by the in-
staller and applied to the appliance at the time of
the conversion.
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 ACCOR-
DANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVIN-
CIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROL
KNOB SET ON HIGH.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing its individual manual gas
shutoff valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or
exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig. (3.5 kPa).
Derating Procedure
To derate this unit, install the appropriate orifice per
the High Altitude chart.
1. Remove the two ¼” hex head screw that holds
the burner tube/log support to the bottom of the
stove.
2. Remove the burner tube/log support to expose
the main burner orifice.
3. Remove the orifice and replace with the appropri-
ate one from the high altitude kit.
4. Be sure to attach the high altitude conversion
sticker provided with the kit to the rating plate on
the appliance.
Figure 17. High Altitude Conversion Label. This sticker
is included in all high altitude kits and must be
applied to the stove when converted for high altitude
.
