Never burn any other materials in your Lillehammer gas stove, it is strictly designed for use with natural gas or propane fuel ONLY.

Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

Locating the Stove

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and func- tional use of the appliance are primary concerns. However, proper venting systems and access to the fuel supply are also important issues. Due to the high surface temperatures of the Lillehammer, one must also consider the proximity of traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc.

This appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. HOWEVER, always maintain the proper clearances to combus- tibles, as this provides adequate ventilation air around the appliance.

The following clearances and hearth require- ments are the minimum requirements when install- ing the Lillehammer gas stove near or on combustible surfaces. Always provide adequate access around the appliance for servicing and proper operation.

A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are behind non-combus- tibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire- rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.

Hearth Requirements

The Jøtul GF 200 Lillehammer gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl flooring, Pergo®, or linoleum. If it is desired to install this appliance on any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be installed that is either metal, wood or a listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove the carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor protection.
