PLEASE NOTE:
Initial Break-in
It is normal for smoke and odor to occur during the initial
stages of operation, depending upon temperatures
generated over time. This curing condition can be
alleviated by promoting fresh air circulation within the
immediate vicinity of the appliance.
Operational Sounds
Please be aware that cast iron and steel components
expand and contract with temperature fluctuations
that are often accompanied by
“creaking” or “pinging” sounds.
This is the result of natural
thermal activity.
The optional blower fan will
also generate a slight hum at the
low setting and progressively
increase with the velocity of
forced air.

3.0 General Information
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. The installation and repair of this appliance must be
done by a qualified service person. Failure to properly
install and maintain this heater could result in an
unsafe or hazardous installation, which may result in
a fire, explosion, property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
2. This appliance should be inspected before use and
at least annually. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, pet hair, dander, etc. It is imperative that
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
3. This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket
permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home,
where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type(s) of gas
indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified
kit is used.
4. The installation must conform to local codes. Your
local Jøtul authorized dealer can assist you in
determining what is required in your area for a safe
and legal installation. Some areas require a permit
to install a gas burning appliance. Always consult
your local building inspector or authority having
jurisdiction to determine what regulations apply in
your area.
In the absence of local codes, the installation
requirements must comply with the current National
codes. In the U.S., these requirements are established
in the National Fuel Code, ANSI-Z223.1.(NFPA 54). In
Canada, the codes have been established in CAN/CGA
B149 Fuel Installation Code.
5. Do not operate this fireplace if any part of it has been
under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the heater and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
6. Do not operate the fireplace with the glass front
removed, cracked, scratched, or broken. Replacement
of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified
service person. Only remove glass for routine service.
Always handle glass carefully.
7. Notify your insurance company before proceeding with
installation of this fireplace.
8. It is normal that burner ignition and extinction be
accompanied by a muffled “woof” or “thud” noise .
Discontinue use and call a qualified service technician if
these functions become unusually loud or disturbing.
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED AND
MAINTAINED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR MODIFY
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS APPLIANCE
OR ITS COMPONENTS. ANY MODIFICATION
OR ALTERATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY,
CERTIFICATION AND LISTING OF THIS APPLIANCE.
INITIAL FIRING PROCESS -
Heat-curing the Paint and Log Set
This appliance has been painted with the highest
quality coating used in the hearth industry.
Manufacturers have selected this product because
it has been proven durable, colorfast, and beautiful
at temperatures up to 1200°F / 650°C. Although
the paint has been air-dried at the factory, it must
be heat-cured in order to maximize its coating
properties and durability. This process occurs during
initial firing of the appliance and will generate odor
and some visible smoke.
We recommend you do the following BEFORE
operating the appliance for the first time:
1. Ventilate: Open doors and windows and use a fan
to circulate fresh air throughout the room.
2. Vacate: The fumes are non-toxic, but can
be uncomfortable for babies, small children,
pregnant women, elderly, pets, or anyone having
breathing difficulties.
Gas Appliance Curing Process
1. After the installer has confirmed proper burner
function at all heat levels, the homeowner should
operate the appliance at a low setting for 2-4
hours, followed by 2-4 hours operation at a high
setting.
2. Off-gassing by paint and log set ceramic material
may leave a white, powdery deposit on the inside
surface of the glass panel. This residue must be
removed using a non-abrasive household glass
cleaner or warm water to prevent permanent
etching of the glass.
DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS.
See Section 8, OPERATION for detailed, day-to-day
operating procedures.

5.0 Installation Requirements
This insert can be installed in most solid fuel burning
fireplaces of either masonry construction or a
prefabricated factory built fireplace.
Prior to any installation, the existing chimney
flue must be thoroughly cleaned and given a NFPA
211, Level II inspection by a qualified chimney sweep
or fireplace service person.
Do not install this appliance into a chimney that
is damaged or contains combustible construction
materials. Any repairs must be made prior to
installing the insert. The chimney and fireplace
must be in good working order. Chimney clean-
outs must be accessible and fit properly. If you
are unsure of the condition of your fireplace and
chimney, contact a professional fireplace technician
or your local authorized Jøtul dealer for professional
assistance.

Leveling Note:
This appliance is equipped with
four leveling bolts; the front
two are adjusted from inside
the firebox, and the rear bolts
are adjusted by tipping the
firebox and unscrewing them
from the base.
Also note that use of the
leveling bolts will affect
required minimum clearance
to combustible top trim and
mantle construction. See the
figures and tables on pages 8
and 9.
DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS OR MORTAR FROM
THE FIREPLACE OR CHIMNEY STRUCTURE. However,
masonry or steel may be removed from the
smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame area
to accommodate installation of a chimney liner,
provided that their removal will not weaken the
structure of the fireplace or chimney, and will not
reduce protection for combustible materials.
If the existing fireplace has been modified to
accommodate installation, use anchors or masonry
nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion
Notice Plate to the back wall of the masonry
fireplace firebox where it will be readily seen should
the insert be removed.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE

5.2 Clearance Requirements
The following clearances and hearth specifications are
the minimum requirements for installing this appliance
into a solid fuel-burning fireplace. See figs. 5.3-5.5.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn (i.e.
sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces
are not limited to those that are visible and also include
materials that are behind non-combustibles.
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.
Always maintain the proper clearances to allow for
the flow of ventilation air around the insert.

Vent Installation Procedure
This appliance must be vented through the chimney by a
pair of 3 inch flexible aluminum liners listed for use with
gas appliances. One duct is attached to the exhaust port
on the top of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to
the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must run the
full length of the chimney and be directly connected to the
chimney termination cap. See figures 6.1 - 6.2.
The other 3 inch liner will be attached to the air intake
port and will provide fresh air for combustion to the unit.
This liner must extend through the damper area of the
fireplace and at least into the first tile liner of the chimney.
(U.S. ONLY). This liner can also extend the full length of the
chimney and connect to the termination cap. SEE NOTICES
BELOW. See also figures 6.1-6.2.
NOTICE
If the intake flex does not extend the full length
of the chimney and connect to the unit and the
termination cap - A NONCOMBUSTIBLE BLOCK OFF
PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE
THE UNIT BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT
(normally at the damper area). See figure 6.1.
To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct to
be used for the exhaust conduit at both the top and
bottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will
be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on
the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts
must extend the full length of the chimney and be
connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

6.0 Vent Guidelines
• All vent components must be installed in accordance
with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s
instructions. See the Appendix on page 32 for a
listing of approved vent manufacturers.
• The minimum height of termination cap from the
top of the unit shall be no less than 10 ft.(3.05 m),
and the maximum height shall be no more than 35 ft.
(10.67 m). See figures 6.1 - 6.2.
• Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly windy
conditions can promote weak draft or occasional
downdrafts. In such cases, increasing the height of
the vent or installation of high wind termination
caps may alleviate the condition.
• HORIZONTAL RUNS are not permitted anywhere in
the venting system.
• Vent liners may be no less than 3 inches diameter nor
greater than 3 inches diameter with the following
exception:
PROPANE NOTICE: For LP installations with vent runs
greater than 10’, it is recommended that a 4” exhaust
liner be used to ensure best operating performance.
This is especially appropriate for installations in
warmer climates and intended for extended run
times. Vent pipe adapters (3” to 4”) are available
from Jotul-approved venting manufacturers. When a
4” Exhaust liner is used, it is recommended that a 3”
Intake liner be run all the way to the vent terminus.
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used as
a passageway for venting provided the flue is relined
using 3” or 4” Listed Flexible Gas Liner. The remaining
space around the liner in a masonry or factory-built
flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.
• Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed to any
living space.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance
requirements will void all warranties and could result
in property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.
Minimum Height
From Roof
• 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 GAS BURNING APPLIANCE.
• The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacent
walls is specified by building codes. A general guide to
follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.

6.2 Factory-built Fireplace
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE STARTING THIS INSTALLATION, MAKE SURE THAT
A GAS LINE CAN BE INSTALLED OR IS INSTALLED TO THE
FIREBOX. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
OR LICENSED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER.
A factory-built fireplace will require modification prior
to installation of the insert.
Modification
1. Remove any factory-built glass doors, screen rails,
screen mesh, fuel grates and other components
attached to the firebox. Smoke shelves, shields,
fuel grates and baffles may be removed if attached
by mechanical fasteners.These should be kept for
potential future re-installation.
Do not cut out any sheet metal parts of the fireplace
into which the insert will be installed.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access
inlet(s) provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” (37.5 mm)
or less may be drilled trough the lower sides or
bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship-
like manner.This access hole must be sealed with
noncombustible insulation after the gas supply has
been installed.
2. Remove the damper assembly. This includes the
damper blade, handle and any linkage. Two 3” liners
must be able to pass through the damper area.
3. Remove any fire screen or door assembly. This is
usually accomplished with removal of a support rod
on the inside of the fireplace frame.
