Locating the Stove
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and func-
tional use of the appliance are primary concerns.
However, proper venting systems and access to the
fuel supply are also important issues. Due to the
high surface temperatures of the Lillehammer, one
must also consider the proximity of traffic ways,
furniture, draperies, etc.
This appliance may be located on or near
conventional construction materials. HOWEVER,
always maintain the proper clearances to combus-
tibles, as this provides adequate ventilation air
around the appliance.
Hearth Requirements
The Jøtul GF 200 Lillehammer gas stove CANNOT be
installed directly on carpeting, vinyl flooring, Pergo®,
or linoleum. If it is desired to install this appliance on
any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor
pad must be installed that is either metal, wood or a
listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend
the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not
necessary to remove the carpeting, vinyl or linoleum
from underneath the floor protection.

NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flam-
mable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the

•
Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for

operating the appliance.
The following clearances and hearth require-
ments are the minimum requirements when install-
ing the Lillehammer gas stove near or on combustible
surfaces. Always provide adequate access around the
appliance for servicing and proper operation.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and
also include materials that are behind non-combus-
tibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember,
“Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible:
they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-
rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.
