Jotul GF 3 BV manual Checking the System

Page 18

CHECKING THE SYSTEM:

1.PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appliance for the first time it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the stove’s rating plate and the back cover of this manual. All subsequent lightings of the stove will not require such purging of the gas line.

2.PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges.

It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8” of the thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8” of the quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three ports. See Figure 13.

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DETECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSIST, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this manual for proper air shutter settings and adjustments (page 14). Note: the more offsets on the vent system, the greater the need for an air shutter adjustment.
