Maintenance
Your Jøtul GF 300 BV Allagash and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service technician.
Use the form on page 26 to keep a maintenance history of your stove.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE FIREPLACE AND UNPLUG THE FORCED AIR BLOWER BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE FIREPLACE.
Annual Cleaning
Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney, should be inspected and cleaned every year. If the intake and exhaust venting is disassembled for any reason, it should be reassembled and sealed according to the manufacturer’s instructions provided at the initial installation.
Burner and Logset
Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment, Convection Airways and optional Blower to BE CERTAIN THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
The firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment and handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner surfaces.
Glass Care
Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe the surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel. 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.
FOR REPLACEMENT, USE ONLY JØTUL CERAMIC GLASS REPLACEMENT KIT 155599. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

2.Release the two Glass Frame Latches. Pull each latch handle forward forward to disengage the latch from the notches in the glass frame.
3.Lift the glass frame all the way up and out of the top of the stove. Lay this assembly on a flat surface, protecting the frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.
3.The glass panel is held in place by four compression clips. Use a screwdriver or small pliers to pry these up off the edge of the glass retaining walls. See fig. 31.
4.Remove the old gasket material. See fig. 32.
Figure 31. Use small pliers to pry up the two retainer tabs.
Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement
1.Wrap the new gasketing material evenly around the edge of the glass, peeling back the protective strip to expose the adhesive as you go. Press the adhesive side down onto the glass surface. Do not stretch the gasket.
2.Place the gasketed glass within the frame and press each of the retainer clips back into place on the retainer walls.
Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deterioration and make sure the gasket has a positive seal. Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement parts list on page 25.
