Operation of Appliance, Maintenance

OPERATION OF APPLIANCE:

1.The Allagash B-Vent gas stove 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 Allagash will emit an odor for several hours. This odor is the burn-off by-products of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.

3.Condensation may occur on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as the appliance heats up.

4.Keep the controls and the area under the appliance 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 cold and there are NO hot embers or sparks.

5.Remember, this appliance has a continuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.

6.CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS REMOVED CRACKED OR BROKEN. REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT GLASS PROVIDED BY YOUR AUTHORIZED JØTUL DEALER. NEVER USE ANY SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

7.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.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.

MAINTENANCE:

The Allagash B-Vent gas stove and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service technician.

IMPORTANT:

ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE STOVE AND UNPLUG THE OPTIONAL FORCED AIR BLOWER KIT IF INSTALLED, BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE STOVE.

General cleaning: The firebox should be vacuumed out 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 combustion gases from escaping into the room. Replace the gasket if necessary, refer to the replacement parts list on page 21.

To remove the glass panel or glass gasket:

1.Lift off the stove top.

2.Release the glass clips atop the firebox.

3.Pull the glass frame assembly straight up and out of the stove.

4.Lay the asssembly on a flat surface and lift the metal tabs that secure the glass panel to the frame.

5.Install the new glass panel and gasket in the glass frame and secure with metal tabs. Do not over tighten tabs as this could break the glass.

ALWAYS USE JØTUL AUTHORIZED PARTS. NEVER USE ANY SUBSTITUE PARTS.
