Jotul GF 3 BV - Manual (Page 18)

CHECKING THE SYSTEM:
1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting
the appliance for the first time 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 stove’s rating plate and the back cover of this
manual. All subsequent lightings of the stove
will not require such purging of the gas line.
2. PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be
steady, not lifting or floating. The flame should
be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces
of yellow toward the outer edges.
It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the
top 3/8” of the thermopile (power generator) and
the top 1/8” of the quick drop out thermocouple.
The pilot flame should project out of the pilot
hood 1” at all three ports. See Figure 13.
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: The Jøtul
Allagash gas stove is equipped with a variable
gas control valve. This valve provides easy
adjustment of the flame height appearance and
heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI
and LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located
in the center of the valve face. Flame height will
adjust approximately 1.0” to 1.5” between the
HI and LO settings. See Figure 14.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE
PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF
ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DETECTED. IF
SOOT OR SMOKE PERSIST, THE AIR
SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this
manual for proper air shutter settings and
adjustments (page 14). Note: the more offsets
on the vent system, the greater the need for an
air shutter adjustment.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE
FLAME APPEARANCE BY
POSITIONING THE GAS VALVE IN
ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER
THAN THE FULL “ON” POSITION.
