Jotul GF 3 BV 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

WARNING:
OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE DOOR. THE
GLASS PANEL MAY SHATTER UNEXPECTEDLY
IF STRUCK WITH AN OBJECT. ALWAYS
HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE. WHEN
SERVICING THE STOVE ALWAYS PULL THE
GLASS ASSEMBLY STRAIGHT UP FOR
REMOVAL.
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.
