2.Remove the two ¼” hex head screws that hold the burner tube/log support to the bottom of the stove.

3.Remove the burner tube/log support to expose the main burner orifice.

4.Remove the orifice and replace with the appropriate one from the high altitude kit.

5.Be sure to attach the high altitude conversion sticker provided with the kit to the rating plate on the appliance.

6.It may be necessary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube. See the AIR SHUTTER/ FLAME APPEARANCE section of this manual for more details.

This sticker (shown below) is included in all high altitude kits and must be adhered to the stove whenever it is converted for high altitude installations.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT/FLAME APPEARANCE:

THE ALLAGASH B-VENT GAS STOVE IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY EQUIPPED AS A NATURAL GAS STOVE; THERE- FORE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY WHEN USING THE STOVEWITH PROPANE GAS TO ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER ON THE BURNER TUBE TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER GAS TO AIR MIX. See Figure 6.

The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, however most consumers enjoy the warm yellowish flame.

Closing the air shutter - will generate very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.

Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.

Jøtul recommends the following settings for the Allagash B-Vent gas stove:

for use with propane 1/4” open for use with natural 1/4” open

ATTENTION: Air shutter should never be LESS than 1/8” open.

REMEMBER: Run the stove for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes for an accurate representation of the flame appearance- this should be done before and between any air shutter adjustment.
