General Information
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED
BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.
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.
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, etc. It is imperative that control compart-
ments, burners, and circulating air passageways of
the appliance be kept clean.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
The installation must conform to local codes. Your lo-
cal Jøtul 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 inspec-
tor, or authority having jurisdiction, to determine
what regulations apply in your area.
CODE COMPLIANCE : Your local officials have final
authority in determining if a proposed installation is
acceptable. Any requirement that is requested by the
local authority having jurisdiction, that is not specifi-
cally addressed in this manual, defaults to local code.
In the absence of local codes, the installation require-
ments 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.

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 400 DV Sebago may be located on or near
conventional 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-com-
bustibles.
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
This appliance CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting,
vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.
If this appliance will be installed on any combus-
tible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal, wood, ceramic, 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
Due to the high operating temperatures this
appliance should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture, draperies, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to combustible mantels and
fireplace trim.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they
are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children and others may be susceptible
to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier,
such as a child guard, is recommended to be used
if there are at-risk individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an
adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young
children and other at-risk individuals out of the
room and away from hot surfaces.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance must be replaced prior to operating
the appliance.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not
be placed on or near the fireplace.
Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vêtements, les
meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides à vapeur
inflammables lin de l’appareil.
Never allow anyone to use the fireplace if they are
unfamiliar with its operation.

Vent Restriction
This appliance is equipped with Restrictor Plates which
enable you to regulate the flow of incoming combustion
air and exhaust gas. The plates prevent overly strong draft
that can cause poor combustion and weak flame picture.
Follow the guidelines below, and on the following pages,
to determine the correct restrictor plate setting for your
particular installation configuration.
Intake Air Restrictor
This plate is located at the rear of the firebox behind the
burner plate. It is set in a CLOSED position at the factory
and should be left there for most vent configurations.
It should be opened only for snorkel terminations and
some short run horizontal terminations as specified on
the following pages. To adjust the Air Restrictor to the
OPEN position, locate and loosen the wing nut under the
burner and push it back as far as it will go. See Fig. 6.
Exhaust Restrictor
The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at
the top of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving a pivot pin
into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY OPEN posi-
tion at the factory. See Fig. 7.
Use the chart in Table 1 to determine the correct
position for your installation and follow the instructions
below to adjust it if necessary.
Additional restriction may be needed depending the
overall vent height. Use Simpson Dura-Vent Restrictor
Disk #929.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Remove the Top Plate.
2. Locate the pivot pin at the left side of the firebox top.
Loosen the wing nut on the pivot pin and push the
pin to the left to disengage it from the current setting
position. Move the pin toward the rear and then right
to engage it in the appropriate position indicated on
the firebox. See fig. 7.
3. Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.
Venting Requirements
This appliance may be installed with a vertical or horizon-
tal 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
• Metal-Fab Sure-Seal DV
• Amerivent Corporation
• Security Vent Ltd.
• Selkirk Metalbestos
• International 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 plan-
ning the vent system design.
IMPORTANT
• JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT: APPLY A 1/8” BEAD OF
HIGH-
TEMPERATURE (750°F) SEALANT TO THE MALE SEC-
TION OF THE INNER VENT PIPE. THE
CEMENT SHOULD FORM A SEAL
BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER
PIPES.
• NEVER MODIFY ANY VENTING
COMPONENT, OR USE ANY DAM-
AGED VENTING PRODUCT.
• 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. EACH DIRECT VENT GAS APPLIANCE MUST
HAVE ITS OWN SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM.
COMMON VENT SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.
• IF VENTING SYSTEM IS DISASSEMBLED FOR ANY REA-
SON, REINSTALL PER THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED FOR
THE INITIAL INSTALLATION.

Vertical Vent Termination
This appliance 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
the pages 10-11.
Maximum Vertical run should not exceed 35 ft. (10.66
m).
Minimum Vertical run must be at least 8 ft. (2.43 m).
Max. 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 three
feet intervals 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. When-
ever 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 en-
closed. Always maintain the required 1" clearance from
all sides of the vertical vent system.

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 termina-
tion, must include:
1) Minimum rise of 2 ft.
2) Minimum horizontal run of 12 in. when vertical
run is less than 8 ft.
2) Maximum rise of 35 ft.
3) Maximum horizontal run of 27 ft.
4) No more than four 45° or two 90° Elbows
 Follow all termination clearance guidelines as specified
in fig. 19.
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. 20.
 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. Use a listed wall
thimble for the wall penetration.
DO NOT FILL AIR SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF INSULA-
TION.
Any horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for ev-
ery foot of run toward the termination cap. NEVER AL-
LOW THE VENTING TO RUN DOWNWARD FROM STOVE
TO TERMINATION; DOWNWARD VENT RUNS TRAP HEAT
AND CAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES TO DEVELOP WITHIN
THE VENT THAT COULD START A FIRE.
Install a Vinyl Siding Standoff between the vent termi-
nation and an exterior wall covered by vinyl siding ma-
terial to prevent potential heat damage to the siding.
Do not recess the termination cap into a wall or siding.

Fuel Conversion Procedure
Refer to fig. 47, Illustrated Parts Breakdown, to identify part
numbers below.
1. Turn off gas supply to stove.
2. Remove the stove Top Plate (41).
3. Disengage the two Glass Frame Latches at the top of
the firebox. See illustration on page 5. Carefully lift the
glass panel up and out of the stove.
4. If installed, remove the Embers and Log Set using care
not to damage the fragile log parts.
5. Lift out the Burner Skirt (33). Tilt the skirt at an angle
to clear the firebox sides and front.
6. Reach under the stove and remove the Air Shutter
wingnut from its stud. As you face the right side, it is
the one closest to you. See fig. 21.
7. Lift out the Burner Plate: NOTE: There are no screws
securing the Burner to the floor of the firebox. Pull the
Air Shutter forward and lift the burner together with
shutter up and out of the stove as a unit. See fig. 22.
8. Change the Main Burner Orifice. See fig. 23. Using a
1/2” open ended wrench or deep-well socket remove
the burner orifice from its brass elbow housing and
replace with the appropriate orifice supplied in the kit.
#33 for NG
1.65 mm for LP
9. Replace the Air Shutter with its gasket and push it all
the way back to allow replacement of the Burner Plate.
10. Replace the Burner Plate. Engage the Air Inlet Tube
with the Air Shutter and burner orifice. Properly
seated, the burner plate will be engaged at its front
corners with the two support brackets located at the
front of the firebox.
• Replace the wingnut loosely on the air shutter stem
under the stove. Air shutter adjustment will be done
last.
11. CHANGE THE PILOT ORIFICE: From within the firebox,
remove the Pilot Head by pulling it straight up from
the pilot base. See fig. 25.
Using the 4 mm allen wrench that is included with the
conversion kit, unscrew the pilot orifice (counterclock-
wise). Replace with the appropriate orifice:
# 51 for natural gas
#30 for propane gas
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 screw-
driver, remove the three screws from the front of the
valve regulator. See fig. 26.

Gas Supply Connection
Connect the gas supply line to the stove, before
installing the optional Blower.
If the blower will be installed, use a 45° elbow off the
control valve to create clearance required for the blower
installation.
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 ac-
ceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Canadian
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 maintenance. See fig. 27.

14. Remove the Regulator Tower, Gasket, white plastic
disk, and Spring.
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 that may be servicing
the stove.
Label A: apply to back of stove.
Label B: apply to stove’s rating plate.
Small valve Label: apply to valve.
17. Reassemble the stove, apply gas to the system and
check for leaks using a soapy water solution.
18. Adjust the Air Shutter:
CAUTION! USE WORKGLOVES. SURFACES MAY BE HOT!
You will need to adjust the shutter to the position
that supplies the correct amount of air mixture to
achieve the best flame picture with your particular in-
stallation. Start with the shutter stem at the midway
position in the slot in the bottom of the stove. See fig.
21. Pushing the stem back will restrict air, while push-
ing it forward will open the shutter. Too much air will
produce a lighter flame, while too little will promote
long, dark flames and may promote sooting. Make
adjustments in small increments. With some experi-
mentation, you will find the shutter position that
works best for your installation.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and
safe operation of this appliance. Correct gas pres-
sure must be established at the time of installation.
For more details, see the Gas Pressure section of this
manual (page 19).
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN LIGHT-
ING YOUR STOVE.

Gas Pressure
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of the GF 400 DV Sebago gas stove. It is im-
portant 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. 28. The gauge
connections are located on the front of the valve under
the On/Off/Pilot- knob. Gauge connections are identi-
fied 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.
High Altitude Adjustment
Installations located at altitudes from 2000 - 4500 ft.
(610 m -1370 m) DO NOT require adjustment for altitude.
DO NOT DERATE THIS APPLIANCE FOR ALTITUDE.

Leak test:
1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish
soap.
2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions
on the inside back cover of this manual or
on the stove’s rating plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections
with the soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection or
seam or a gas odor is detected, imme-
diately turn gas control knob to the OFF
position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint
and retest for any gas leaks.
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 com-
pounds 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.

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 this appli-
ance using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maxi-
mum 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 con-
nections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT ANY
OTHER WIRES. See Fig. 30.
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 connect-
ed 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.

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
This appliance is shipped from the factory equipped to
burn natural gas with the air shutter set half-open.
Be aware, however, that this initial setting may not provide
the optimal flame picture in your particular installation.
No single setting will be appropriate for all vent configu-
rations, fuel types, or installation environments. The air
shutter setting can also be adjusted to achieve the de-
sired flame appearance. Flame appearance is a matter of
individual preference, however, most people enjoy a warm
yellowish flame.
Too much air - the appliance will generate a flame that
is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.
Too little air - the appliance may generate very long
yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces 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 and lack of combustion
air entering the air shutter opening.
To adjust the air shutter: CAUTION! USE WORKGLOVES.
SURFACES MAY BE HOT!
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen the
wingnut located closest to you. See fig. 29. Slide the
wingnut stem forward to open the air shutter and
increase air. Slide the shutter stem back to decrease the
air supply.
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the de-
sired setting.
3. Operate the burner for 30 minutes on the HIGH setting,
observing the flame continuously. If the flame appears
weak, slow, or sooty, adjust the air shutter to a more
open position as described above until the flame is as
desired. Make adjustments in small increments and
allow the burner to settle in before making further
adjustment
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
