Jotul GF3 DVII - Manual (Page 22)

Operation
1. The Allagash 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 stove will emit an
odor for several hours. This odor results from
paint curing and the burn-off of manufacturing
residues. This condition can be alleviated by
opening a window to allow fresh air circulation
during this break-in period.
3. Condensation may occur on the glass each time
the burner is turned on. This fog will disappear as
the appliance becomes hot.
4. Keep the controls and the area under the appli-
ance 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 OFF.
5. Remember, this appliance has a continuously
burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using
products with combustible vapors.

WITH THE GLASS REMOVED CRACKED OR BROKEN.
REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD BE DONE
BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

Maintenance
The Allagash Direct Vent gas stove and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least
annually by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PER-
FORMED ON THE STOVE, ALWAYS TURN
OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE STOVE AND
UNPLUG THE BLOWER IF INSTALLED.
General Cleaning:
The firebox should be vacuumed 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 combus-
tion gases from escaping into the room. Replace
the gasket if necessary, refer to the replacement
parts list on page 23.
Always replace any damaged or broken parts on
the Allagash with JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS ONLY.
These are available through your Jøtul dealer. Never
use any substitute parts on your Allagash Direct
Vent stove.

Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe surface
with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a
dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch
the glass surface.
