This appliance is approved for use with vent systems from the following manufacturers:

•Simpson Dura-Vent GS

Use parts of one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN THE SAME SYSTEM.

Installation of any components not manufactured or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance require- ments will void all warranties and could result in prop- erty damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.

The approved vent configurations described in this manual are derived from extensive testing under con- trolled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance performance can be negatively affected by variables present in the installation environment, i.e: atmospheric pressure, strong prevailing winds, adjacent structures and trees, snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into consideration by the installer and stove owner when planning the vent system design.

IMPORTANT

•JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT: APPLY A 1/8” BEAD OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE (750°F) SEALANT TO THE MALE SECTION OF THE INNER VENT

PIPE. THE CEMENT SHOULD FORM A SEAL BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER PIPES.

•NEVER MODIFY ANY VENT- ING COMPONENT, OR USE

ANY DAMAGED VENTING

PRODUCT.

• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE

VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE

OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING

AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A

CHIMNEY SERVING A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING

APPLIANCE. EACH DIRECT VENT GAS APPLIANCE MUST HAVE ITS OWN SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM. COMMON VENT SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.

•IF VENTING SYSTEM IS DISASSEMBLED FOR ANY REASON, REINSTALL PER THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED FOR THE INITIAL INSTALLATION.

Vent Restriction

The GF 300 DV is equipped with an Exhaust Restrictor Plate which enables you to regulate the flow of exhaust gas. The plate prevents overly strong draft that can cause poor combustion and weak flame picture. Follow the guidelines below, and on the following pages, to deter- mine the correct restrictor plate setting for your particu- lar installation configuration.

Exhaust Restrictor

The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at the top right side of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving a pivot pin into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY OPEN (D) position at the factory. See Fig. 7. The four positions correlate to the termination zones (A,B,C,D) diagramed in figures 9-12. Consult these Vent Window diagrams on pages 10-11 to determine the setting you should use.

Additional restriction may be needed depending the overall vent height. If necessary, use Simpson Dura-Vent Restrictor Disk #929.

Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:

1.Use the Vent Window diagrams to determine which setting position to use.

2.Remove the Top Plate.

3.Locate the pivot pin at the right side of the firebox top. Use a 7 mm or 9/32 nut driver to loosen the nut on the pivot pin and then push the pin to the left to disengage it from the current factory-set position. Move the pin forward and into the slot appropriate for your specific vent configuration. See figs. 6 and 7.

4.Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.
