Vent Requirements

There are three types of venting configurations approved for use with the Firelight gas stove:

Vertical Termination

Hearthmount Co-Linear (Vertical Termination)

Horizontal Termination

The GF600 Firelight is approved for use with the vent systems listed below. Use parts of one manu- facturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN THE SAME SYSTEM.

Simpson Dura-Vent GS

Amerivent Corporation

Security Vent Ltd.

Selkirk Metalbestos

Installation of any components not manufac- tured or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties and could result in property damage or bodily injury.

The approved vent configurations described in this manual are derived from extensive testing under controlled laboratory conditions. Gas appli- ance performance can be negatively affected by variables present in the installation environment, i.e: atmospheric pressure, strong prevailing winds, adjacent structures and trees, snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into consider- ation by the installer and stove owner when plan- ning the vent system design.

IMPORTANT

JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT: Apply a 1/8” bead of high- temperature (750°F) sealant to the male section of the inner vent pipe. See Fig. 9. The cement should form a seal

between the inner and outer pipes.

NEVER modify any venting component or use a damaged venting component.

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building and never attached to a chimney serving a solid fuel or other gas appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must have its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

If the venting system is disassembled for any reason, re-install according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Vent Restriction

The GF 600 DV Firelight includes two rectangular Exhaust Restrictor plates and one square Air Inlet Restrictor Plate as shown in Figure 5. These are located in the parts bag. The plates are used to compensate for draft characteristics that would otherwise interfere with proper burner perfor- mance such as low heat output, weak flame picture, or inefficient combustion.

Exhaust Restrictor Plate Installation

Both Exhaust Restrictor Plates (#129642) MUST be installed in all Co-linear vent systems and any vertically terminated vent run exceeding 7 feet (210 cm) in length.

1.Remove the Glass Panel and Log Set.

2.Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two sheet metal screws in the rear wall of the firebox ABOVE EACH exhaust outlet. See Figure 5.

3.Install a restrictor plate over the upper half of each exhaust hole and secure the plate using the same screws that were just removed.

4.Reinstall logs and glass.

2.Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the two sheet metal screws (A) and Rear Log Shelf from the back of the firebox. See Figure 6.

3.Using the right hand sheet metal screw, reinstall the Log Shelf with the restrictor plate between the Shelf and the Back Wall. The plate should cover the lower right air inlet.
