OPERATION OF APPLIANCE:
1.
The Allagash B-Vent gas stove is equipped
with an On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or can
be controlled using an optional wall-
mounted thermostat. A separate switch is
provided for the optional forced air blower
kit.
2.
When lit for the first time, the Allagash will
emit an odor for several hours. This odor is
the burn-off by-products of internal paints
and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process.
3.
Condensation may occur on the glass upon
each lighting of the appliance. This fog
will disappear as the appliance heats up.
4.
Keep the controls and the area under the
appliance free of debris, vacuum this area
frequently. Always keep the appliance area
clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids.
If and when a vacuum is used on any service
for the stove, ALWAYS be sure the stove is
cold and there are NO hot embers or sparks.
5.
Remember, this appliance has a continuous
burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when
using products with combustible vapors.

MAINTENANCE:
The Allagash B-Vent gas stove and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE
STOVE AND UNPLUG THE OPTIONAL FORCED
AIR BLOWER KIT IF INSTALLED, BEFORE ANY
SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE
STOVE.
General cleaning: The firebox should be
vacuumed out annually to remove any surface
build up. Be sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot
assembly and burner orifice and burner tube. Also,
when vacuuming the log set, be sure to handle it
carefully as it is very fragile.
Gasket inspection: It is important that the glass
gasket be inspected at least annually. Examine
the rope gasket for signs of deterioration and make
sure the gasket has a positive seal. This is
important to prevent combustion gases from
escaping into the room. Replace the gasket if
necessary, refer to the replacement parts list on
page 21.
To remove the glass panel or glass gasket:
1. Lift off the stove top.
2. Release the glass clips atop the firebox.
3. Pull the glass frame assembly straight up and out
of the stove.
4. Lay the asssembly on a flat surface and lift the
metal tabs that secure the glass panel to the frame.
5. Install the new glass panel and gasket in the glass
frame and secure with metal tabs. Do not over
tighten tabs as this could break the glass.
ALWAYS USE JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS.
NEVER USE ANY SUBSTITUE PARTS.
