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 500 DV IPI 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-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.
Floor Protection
This appliance 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. 7.
Safety Information cont'd.
Cet appareil ne sert pas avec des portes en verre de
marché des accessoires.
Wear gloves and safety glasses while installing or
performing maintenance procedures on this appliance.

Vent Restriction
The GF 500 DV IPI 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
determine the correct restrictor plate setting for your
particular installation configuration.
Exhaust Restrictor
The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable plate located
within the firebox exhaust outlet. It is adjusted by
rotating the dial at the back of the stove within a range
from the factory-set, fully OPEN (no restriction) to fully
full restriction. See Fig. 14.The Minus and Plus signs on
the dial relate to degrees of restriction, from zero to
approximately 70%.The three lettered positions correlate
to the termination zones (A,B,C) diagramed in figure 15.
Use the diagram to determine the degree of restriction
and shutter setting you should use.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Use the Vent Termination Matrix to determine which
setting position to use.
2. Lift the Top Plate from the stove.
3. Locate the restrictor adjustment dial on the top of the
exhaust outlet. Use a 1/4” nut driver to loosen the lock
nut and pivot the dial to the position appropriate to
your termination zone. See figs. 14 and 15.
4. Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.
Venting Requirements
The Jøtul GF 500 DV IPI 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:
• M&G DuraVent DirectVent Pro and GS Series
• American Metal Products (Amerivent)
• Security Chimneys International, Ltd. (Secure Vent)
• Selkirk Metalbestos (Direct Temp)
• Metal-Fab, Inc. (Direct Vent)
• Industrial Chimney Corp. (ExcelDirect)
• Bernard Dalsin Mfg. (Pro Form)
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
requirements 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 controlled 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.
IMPORTANT
• JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT:
APPLY A 1/8” BEAD OF HIGH-
TEMPERATURE SEALANT
OR MIL-PAC® TO THE MALE
SECTION OF THE INNER VENT
PIPE. THE CEMENT SHOULD
FORM A SEAL BETWEEN THE
INNER AND OUTER PIPES.
• NEVER MODIFY ANY VENT-
ING COMPONENT, OR USE
ANY DAMAGED 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.
Figure 13.
DO NOT USE SILICONE
SEALANT.
Approved Horizontal
and Vertical Vent Terminations
• Up to four 45° or two 90° elbows are permitted in any
vent run.
•NOTE: Long vertical vent runs (over 12 ft.) in
uninsulated air space may require the stove be
operated in CPI mode for best performance.
• ALL VENTING MUST TERMINATE (END) WITHIN ONE OF
THE DESIGNATED AREAS.
• SET STOVE EXHAUST RESTRICTOR TO THE POSITION
THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE VENT TERMINATION
AREA IN THE MATRIX. When termination is exactly
on a division line, use the less restrictive position. For
example, if termination is 10 feet high and offset 7 feet,
restriction should be set at Position B.
The circled letter designations in the vent matrix in
figure 15 correspond to the Exhaust Restrictor dial settings
on the stove. First, determine which vent termination
zone is appropriate for your installation, then adjust the
restrictor to the corresponding position as shown in figure 15.

Vertical Vent Termination
The Jøtul GF 500 DV IPI 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 Matrix, fig. 15, page 11.
Minimum termination is 4 ft. (1.22 m).
Total run must not exceed 35 ft. (10.66 m).
Vent Terminus Clearance: In no case shall any
discharge opening on the cap be less than 18 in.
(457 mm) horizontally from the roof surface. See fig. 16.
Steep roofs, nearby trees, and predominantly windy
conditions can contribute to poor draft and/or
promote draft reversal. 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.
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 floor opening
should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension.
Any venting that is exposed in living space above the
first floor must be enclosed. Always maintain the
required 1" clearance from all sides of the vertical vent
system. Insulation in attic space must be retained by
an insulation barrier.

Co-linear Vent Installation
The GF 500 DV IPI 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
appliance in cold climate situations, as well as simplify
the vent installation. See fig. 18.
Consult with the local code authority having
jurisdiction before proceeding with this type of
installation.
Refer to the vent manufacturer’s instructions for
specific installation procedures.
Follow these installation requirements:
The chimney flue must be thoroughly cleaned and
inspected by a qualified chimney service person.
In a masonry chimney, a fireclay liner must be present
the entire length of the chimney.
Prefabricated chimneys must be UL 103 or ULC S-629
listed and have a minimum INSIDE diameter of 6
inches, (150 mm).
No appliance may be installed into a chimney flue
serving another appliance of any kind.
THE AIR INTAKE FLEX PIPE MUST EXTEND 6 FEET BEYOND
THE DAMPER AREA OF THE FIREPLACE.
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.

Any horizontal termination must fall within the shaded
portion of the vent window matrix shown in fig. 15.
Horizontal termination requirements:
1) If no vertical run, the minimum horizontal run is 6 in.
into a 36” Snorkel.
2) If no vertical run, the maximum horizontal run is 24 in.
into a 36”Snorkel.
3) Maximum vertical run is 35 ft.
4) With any vertical run,the maximum horizontal run is 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. 25.
Wall Cut-out Opening: A minimum 10" X 10" (250 mm

position the shutters to provide a gas/air mixture that
will achieve the best flame picture with your particular
installation.
Pilot Shield
Pushing the stems back will restrict air, while pulling
them forward (toward you) will open the shutter and
increase air. With some experimentation, you will
find the shutter position that works best for your
installation. Start at the following positions for the
appropriate fuel:
Propane - 1/8” (3 mm)
Natural gas - 1/16” (1.5 mm)
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON
THE INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN

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, 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. 36.
A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH CODE 248CMR.
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.

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.
