Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The GF 300 DV may be located on or near conven-
tional construction materials, however, proper clearance
to combustibles must be maintained in order to provide
adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is
important to provide adequate access around the stove
for servicing and proper operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this
manual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material 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 may be located 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.
Hearth Requirements
The GF 300 DV gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate flooring, such
as Pergo®.
If this appliance will be installed on any combustible
material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal, wood, ceramic tile, stone, or
a listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend
the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not
necessary to remove carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from
underneath the floor protection. See fig. 1.
Safety Information
During normal operation, the GF 300 DV gas stove will
reach high surface temperatures.Therefore:
Due to the high operating temperatures, this appli-
ance should be located out of traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns and/or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they are in
the same room as the GF 300 DV gas stove.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
placed ON or NEAR the GF 300 DV gas stove. Surveiller
les enfants. Garder les vetements, les meubles,
l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur inflammables
loin de l’appareil.
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the GF 300 DV gas
stove.
Never burn any other materials in your GF 300 DV
Allagash gas stove, it is strictly designed for use with
natural gas or propane fuel ONLY.

SEALANT
Vent Restriction
The GF 300 DV is equipped with an Exhaust Restrictor
Plate which enables you to regulate the flow of exhaust
gas. The plate prevents overly strong draft that can cause
poor combustion and weak flame picture. Follow the
guidelines below, and on the following pages, to deter-
mine the correct restrictor plate setting for your particu-
lar installation configuration.
Exhaust Restrictor
The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at
the top right side of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving
a pivot pin into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY
OPEN (D) position at the factory. See Fig. 7. The four
positions correlate to the termination zones (A,B,C,D)
diagramed in figures 9-12. Consult these Vent Window
diagrams on pages 10-11 to determine the setting you
should use.
Additional restriction may be needed depending the
overall vent height. If necessary, use Simpson Dura-Vent
Restrictor Disk #929 or a similar part from the appropri-
ate vent manufacturer.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Use the Vent Window diagrams to determine which
setting position to use.
2. Remove the Top Plate.
3. Locate the pivot pin at the right side of the firebox top.
Use a 7 mm or 9/32 nut driver to loosen the nut on the
pivot pin and then push the pin to the left to disen-
gage it from the current factory-set position. Move the
pin forward and into the slot appropriate for your
specific vent configuration. See figs. 6 and 7.
4. Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.
Venting Requirements
The Jøtul GF 300 DV gas stove may be installed with a
vertical or horizontal termination and must conform to
the configuration requirements described below.
This appliance is approved for use with vent systems
from the following manufacturers:
• Simpson Dura-Vent GS
• American Metal Products (Amerivent)
• Security Chimneys International, Ltd. (Secure Vent)
• Selkirk Metalbestos (Direct Temp)
• Metal-Fab, Inc. (Direct Vent)
• Industrial Chimney Corp. (ExcelDirect)
Use parts of one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX
VENT COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS
IN THE SAME SYSTEM.
Installation of any components not manufactured or
approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance require-
ments will void all warranties and could result in property
damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.
The approved vent configurations described in this
manual are derived from extensive testing under con-
trolled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance 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 consideration by the installer and stove owner
when planning the vent system design.

Vertical Vent Termination
The Jøtul GF 300 DV can be vertically vented through a
ceiling or to a roof termination with the following
guidelines:
The termination should fall within the shaded areas
of the grids depicted in the Vent Window diagrams on
pages 10 - 11.
run should not exceed 35 ft. (10.66 m).
Minimum Vertical run must be at least 8 ft. (2.43 m).
Maximum Colinear Horizontal run is 2 ft. (61 cm).
Vent Terminus Clearance: In no case shall any dis-
charge opening on the cap be less than 18 in. (610
mm) horizontally from the roof surface.
Steep roofs, nearby trees, and predominantly windy
conditions can contribute to poor draft and/or pro-
mote down-draft occurances. Increasing the height of
the vent may alleviate these conditions.
Use Wall Straps to support an offset pipe run at
intervals of three feet to avoid excessive stress on the
offsets.
Elbows: Four 45°, or two 90° elbows may be used. Do
not include the 45° elbow attached to the stove.
Whenever possible use 45° elbows instead of 90°
elbows as they are less restrictive to exhaust gas and
intake air flow.
A firestop is required at every floor. The opening
should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension.
Any venting that is exposed above the first floor,
regardless of attic space or living space, must be
enclosed. Always maintain the required 1" clearance
from all sides of the vertical vent system.

Co-linear Vent Installation
The GF 300 DV may be vented through a masonry or
Class A prefabricated chimney using a Co-linear Flexible
Vent system approved for use with a solid-fuel burning
fireplace. When installed in the manner described below,
this system can improve the performance of the appli-
ance in cold climate situations, as well as simplify the
vent installation. See fig. 14.
These installation requirements must be followed:
1. Use the guidelines for Co-linear Vent Termination
appropriate for your gas type on pages 10 - 11.
2. Prior to the installation the chimney flue must be
thoroughly cleaned and inspected by a qualified
chimney service person.
3. In a masonry chimney, a fireclay liner must be present
the entire length of the chimney.
4. Prefabricated chimneys must be UL 103 or ULC S-629
listed and have a minimum INSIDE diameter of 6
inches, (150 mm).
5. No appliance can be installed into a chimney flue
serving any other appliance of any kind.
6. THE AIR INTAKE FLEX PIPE MUST EXTEND 6 FEET
BEYOND THE DAMPER AREA OF THE FIREPLACE.
7. If the intake flex duct does not extend the full length
of the chimney and connect to both the unit and the
termination cap, A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE
CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT
PRIOR TO THE END OF THE INTAKE FLEX AND MUST
COMPLETELY SEAL THE CHIMNEY FLUE FROM THE
ROOM.
If there is enough vent length and room in the flue,
adding a return loop in the air intake run will help
prevent draft reversals that can cause cold start
problems.
Consult with the local code authority having jurisdic-
tion before proceeding with this type of installation.
Refer to the vent manufacturer’s instructions for
specific installation requirements.
WARNING: FAILURE TO POSITION THE PARTS AND
STOVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE DIAGRAMS OR
FAILURE TO USE ONLY PARTS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR

Horizontal Termination
Any horizontal termination must fall within the
shaded portion of the vent window graph illustrated
in figs. 9 or 11. For Snorkel Terminations, see below.
Any horizontal termination except a snorkel termination,
must include:
1) Minimum rise of 24 in.
2) Minimum horizontal run of 12 in. when vertical
run is less than 8 ft.
3) Vertical run no more than 35 ft.
4) Horizontal run no more than 27 ft.
5) No more than four 45° or two 90° Elbows
The horizontal termination cap must maintain a 3"
clearance to any overhead combustible projections
2 1/2" or less. It must also maintain 12" clearance from
projections exceeding 2 1/2". See fig. 21.
Wall Cut-out Opening: A minimum 10" X 10" (250 mm x
250 mm) square hole is required for proper pipe clear-
ances through a combustible wall.
DO NOT FILL AIR SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF INSULATION.
Any horizontal run of vent must be level or have a
1/4 in. rise for every foot of run toward the termina-
tion cap. NEVER ALLOW THE VENTING TO RUN DOWN-
WARD FROM STOVE TO TERMINATION; DOWNWARD
VENT RUNS TRAP HEAT AND CAUSE HIGH TEMPERA-
TURES TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE VENT THAT COULD
START A FIRE.
Install a Vinyl Siding Standoff (Simpson Dura-Vent
#950) between the vent termination and an exterior
wall covered by vinyl siding material to prevent
potential heat damage to the siding.
Do not recess the termination cap into a wall or siding.

with the appropriate orifice supplied in the kit.
9. Replace the Air Shutter with its gasket and push it all
the way back to allow replacement of the Burner Plate.
Reattach the wingnut to the shutter stem under the
stove, but do not tighten. You will set its final position
later.
10.Replace the Burner Plate. Engage the burner tube with
the Air Shutter assembly as in fig. 25. Be sure the
burner is securely engaged with the two support
brackets at the front of the firebox and push the plate
back toward the rear of the firebox.When correctly
positioned, there will be 1/2” (13 mm) clearance be-
tween the burner plate and the front of the firebox. See
fig. 25.
11 . CHANGE THE PILOT ORIFICE: From within the firebox,
remove the Pilot Head by pulling it straight up from the
pilot base. See fig. 26. Using the 4 mm hex key in-
cluded with the kit, unscrew the pilot orifice (counter-
clockwise). Replace with the appropriate orifice:
12. Tighten orifice into the base of the pilot assembly. To
prevent bypass leaks, be sure the orifice is secured
tightly and flush with the base. Replace pilot head by
pushing it down onto the pilot base.
13. Replace the Variable Regulator. Using a Torx T-20
screwdriver, remove the three screws from the front of
the valve regulator. See fig. 27.
14. Remove the Regulator Tower, Gasket, white plastic
disk, and Spring. Remove the black rubber gasket from
the valve. See fig. 27.

Gas Supply Connection
NOTE: If appropriate, install the optional forced air
blower before connecting the gas line, to prevent
clearance interference between the two.
The gas supply line connection is made to the left
side of the valve. The gas supply line should be 3/8" npt
with a 1/2" diameter supply, or the appropriate size to
provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless
of the input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is
acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Cana-
dian methods vary depending on local code.
ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST
COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock)
and union, to be installed in the supply line, and in the
same room as the appliance. This allows for the
disconnection of the stove for servicing and mainte-
nance. See fig. 28.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH CODE 248CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and
sealing compounds. For propane units be sure to use
compounds that are propane resistant. Turn on gas supply
and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks.

15. Install the new regulator: Be sure the new gasket is
properly positioned and tighten screws securely.
16. Install the identification labels to the stove so that
they can be seen by any person who may be servicing
the stove.
Label A: apply to back of stove.
Label B: apply to the rating plate attached to the back
of the stove.
Small Conversion Label: apply to valve.
17. Reassemble the stove, apply gas to the system and
check for leaks using a soapy water solution or gas
detector.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS.
18.Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of this appliance. Use a manometer to
check pressures as specified in the Gas Pressure
section of this manual (page 19).
19. Adjust the Air Shutter. You will need to position the
shutter to provide a gas/air mixture that will achieve
the best flame picture with your particular installa-
tion. Start with the shutter stem at the half-way
position in the slot in the bottom of the stove. See figs.
22 and 25. Pushing the stem back will restrict air, while
pushing it forward will open the shutter and increase
air. With some experimentation, you will find the
shutter position that works best for your installation.
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON
THE INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN
LIGHTING YOUR STOVE.

Gas Pressure
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of the GF 300 DV gas stove. It is important
that the correct pressure is established at the time of
the installation. Proper gas pressure provides a
consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instru-
mental in checking for gas leaks.
Pressure Test: Attach a manometer to the appro-
priate test point on the valve. See fig. 29. The gauge
connections are located on the front of the valve under
the On/Off/Pilot- knob. Gauge connections are
identified by:
E - for Inlet or Supply Pressure (the amount of
gas coming to the valve.)
A - for Manifold Pressure (the amount of gas that
is coming out of the valve to the burner.)
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROL
KNOB SET ON HIGH.

Optional Wall Thermostat or
Remote Control
Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat
with this appliance. The thermostat should be placed in
the same room as the heater, typically 5 feet off the
floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may affect the
accuracy of the thermostat.
The thermostat should be connected to the GF 300
DV using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum
length of 25 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 DISCONNECT ANY
OTHER WIRES. See Fig. 31.
For thermostatic operation, 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.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be con-
nected to the two connection screws on the thermostat
base plate per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Remote Control
When using a remote, the remote receiver should be
wired to the terminal block the same way the thermo-
stat would be. See the instructions above.
Follow the operating instructions included with the
Remote Control unit.
CAUTION:
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING
THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OR
DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION
AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
Figure 31. Accessory wiring diagram.
Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
The GF 300 DV gas stove is shipped from the factory
equipped to burn Natural gas. If the stove has been
converted for use with propane, the Air Shutter may
require adjustment to achieve the desired flame appear-
ance. Other installation related variables can also affect
the flame picture. The Air Shutter may be opened or
closed to provide the best flame picture for your specific
installation.
Too large an air opening - the appliance will generate
a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic”
flame.
Too small an air setting - the appliance will generate
very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting pro-
duces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the
appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames
and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter
opening.
To adjust the air shutter:
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen the
wingnut located closest to you. See fig. 30. Slide the
wingnut stud forward to open the air shutter and back
to provide less air. Make adjustments in small incre-
ments.
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the
desired setting.
3. Allow the stove to burn for 30 minutes on the HIGH
setting, observing the flame continuously. If the flame
appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process
described above until the flame is as desired.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN..
