INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL WALL THERMOSTAT OR REMOTE:

When installing a wall mounted thermostat to the Allagash, it must be a 750 millivolt DC two- wire circut thermostat. The thermostat should be placed in the same room as the heater, typically 5’ off the floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may effect the accuracy of the thermostat. The thermostat should be connected to the Allagash using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum length of 35 feet of wire.

Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the two lower terminals on the terminal block located directly above the ignitor button. Do not overtighten the connections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNNECT ANY OTHER WIRES. See Figure 12.

For the thermostat to work the On/Off/T-Stat switch on the back of the stove must be in the T-stat position, and the pilot light must be running, as it is the power source for the thermostat.

Figure 12

At the thermostat, the two wires should be connected to the two connections screws on the thermostat base plate per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Remote: When using a remote, the remote receiver should be wired to the terminal block the same way the thermostat would be. See the instructions above.

SPILL SWITCH:

The Allagash B-Vent gas stove is equipped with a vent “SPILL SWITCH”. This switch stops gas flow to the main burner in the event that the appliance is not vented or if the venting is blocked.

The spill switch is an important safety device located on the draft hood of the appliance and is wired directly to the thermocouple (power source for the stove). The “spill switch” is a bimetal sensor that is heat sensitive. In the event that the venting is not carrying the exhaust up and out, the heat from the exhaust will trigger the switch and stop the electrical current to the valve; thereby stopping gas flow to the main burner.

Spillage: Condition of flue gases failing to exit the venting system properly and instead flowing out of the relief opening of the draft hood and into the dwelling. Condition calls for immediate examination of the appliance and venting system and corrective action.

Spillage usually occurs due to incorrct vent size, or incorrct installation. Be sure to read all of the installation requirements addressed in this manual for the proper and safe installation of your Allagash B-Vent gas stove.

Unexplained outages can be the result of the “spill switch”. If you experience unexplained outages, contact your local Jøtul dealer for assistance.

ANY SERVICE TO THE SAFETY SPILL SWITCH MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.

CAUTION:

LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
