Jotul GF3 DVII - Manual (Page 6)

Electrical Hazard
When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the
optional forced air Blower Kit, the stove must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the current
NFPA 70- National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1-
Canadian Code.
The Allagash Blower Kit is supplied with a three-
prong (grounding) plug for protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
Always unplug the Blower Kit when performing
routine service to the Allagash gas stove.
Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The GF100 Nordic QT may be located on or near
conventional construction materials, however, proper
clearance to combustibles must be maintained in
order to provide adequate air circulation around the
appliance. Also, it is important to provide adequate
access around the stove for servicing and proper
operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in
this manual are the minimum requirements for
combustible material. A combustible material 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
may be located behind non-combustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember,
“Fire Resistant” materials are considered combus-
tible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also,
“fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.
Hearth Requirements
The Allagash gas stove CAN NOT be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl flooring, linoleum or Pergo®. If
you wish 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 under-
neath the floor protection.
Note: the hearth requirements are the same when
using the optional short leg package.
