Frequently Asked Questions - GF3 BV Allagash JOTUL

How do I light the fire properly?
Place kindling and firelighters on the grate, then open the air controls fully. Light the firelighters and close the door. Once the kindling is burning well, add larger logs. Adjust the air controls to achieve the desired burn rate. For best results, use dry, seasoned wood.
How often should I clean the chimney?
The chimney should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, preferably before the heating season. If you burn a lot of wood or use wet wood, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent creosote buildup.
How do I remove ash from the stove?
Allow the stove to cool completely. Open the door and use the provided ash pan tool to scoop ashes into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Dispose of ashes outdoors in a non-combustible container. Never vacuum hot ashes.
How do I clean the stove glass?
Use a damp cloth or paper towel dipped in ash to wipe the glass. For stubborn deposits, use a specialized stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the ceramic glass.
What are the clearance requirements to combustibles?
Minimum clearances vary by installation. Typically, keep at least 36 inches (91 cm) from combustible walls and furniture. The stove requires a non-combustible hearth extending at least 18 inches (46 cm) in front and 8 inches (20 cm) on each side. Always consult local codes.
What type of chimney is required?
The stove requires a listed Class A chimney or a masonry chimney with a flue liner. The chimney must have an internal diameter of at least 150 mm (6 inches) and a minimum height of 12 feet (3.6 m) for proper draft.
Can I burn painted or treated wood?
No, never burn painted, treated, or composite wood. These materials release toxic chemicals and can damage the stove. Only burn dry, seasoned natural wood with a moisture content below 20%.
What is the efficiency rating?
The efficiency of the Jøtul GF3 BV Allagash is approximately 80%. This means 80% of the energy in the wood is converted into heat, while 20% is lost through the flue gases. Using dry wood improves efficiency.
Is the stove safe for use in a mobile home?
Mobile home installation may require additional safety features such as an outside combustion air kit and a spark arrester. Check local building codes and the stove manual for specific requirements. Many models are approved for mobile homes.
Why is there smoke entering the room when I open the door?
This usually indicates poor draft. Ensure the chimney is warm before opening the door by burning a small kindling fire first. Also check that the air controls are open, and the chimney is not blocked or too cold. Negative pressure in the room can also cause backdraft.

Blower/Electrical Hazard

When the Allagash gas stove is installed with the optional forced air Blower Kit (part #129161) the stove must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current NFPA 70- National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.

The Allagash Blower Kit is already supplied with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG. Always unplug the Blower when performing routine service to the Allagash gas stove.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY OR FLUE SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OF ANY KIND.

LOCATION:

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns; However, proper venting systems and access to the fuel supply are also important issues. Due to the high surface temperatures of the Allagash, always consider the proximity of traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc.

This appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. HOWEVER, always maintain the proper clearances to combustibles, as this provides adequate ventilation air around the appliance.

The following clearances and hearth requirements are the minimum requirements when installing the Allagash gas stove near or on combustible surfaces. Always provide adequate access around the appliance for servicing and proper operation.

A combustible surface 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 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.

The Allagsh B-Vent gas stove is not to be connected or installed using any warm air duct system.

Always maintain the proper clearances to the appliance for the proper flow of combustion and ventilation air to the stove.

FLOOR PROTECTION:

The Allagash gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl flooring, linoleum or Pergo©.

If it is desired to install this appliance on any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be installed that is either metal, wood or a listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove the carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor protection. Minimum hearth protection

Minimum hearth protection under the Allagash B-Vent gas stove: 22 3/4" wide X 18 3/4" deep

Note: the hearth requirements are the same when using the optional short leg package.

STOVE CLEARANCES:

Minimum clearances for the Allagash B-Vent gas stove are as follows:

Rear clearance =2"(50mm)

(measured from draft hood)

Ceiling =18"(460mm)

(measured from top of stove)

Corner clearance =3"(76mm)

(measured from rear corners)

Right side clearance = 4"(102mm)

Left side clearance = 10" (255mm)

(for access to the lighting instructions)

All venting components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the pipe manufacturer's instructions for proper pipe clearances. Any horizontal venting requires a 2" (50mm) top clearance off top of pipe.

ALCOVE

Minimum Alcove Width = 41"(1042mm)

(minimum side clearance in an alcove becomes 8" on right side of stove and 10" on left side of stove).

VENTING REQUIREMENTS:

The Allagash is specifically designed to operate using 4" Type B vent pipe components or a Listed Flexible gas liner.

FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES LISTED BELOW FOR THE PROPER VENTING OF THE ALLAGASH B-VENT STOVE!

- All venting components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer's instructions.

- The minimum height of a vertically terminated system shall be no less than 7', and the maximum height shall be no more than 35'. See diagrams page 9.

- With steep roofs, nearby trees, and in predominant windy conditions, poor draft or down draft conditions can occur. In these cases, increasing the height of the vent or high wind termination caps may improve the situation.

- ELBOWS: If an offset or elbow is necessary in the vertical rise, it is important to support the vent pipe every three feet, to avoid excessive stress on the offsets.

- Whenever possible use 45^ elbows opposed to 90^ elbows. This offers less restrictions for the flow of flue gases. Maximum number of 90^ elbows = three Maximum number of 45^ elbows = four

- TOTAL MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN ANYWHERE IN THE VENTING CONFIGURATION IS 4 FEET. The distance between any 45^ elbows is considered a horizontal run. See diagrams page 9.

- Any Type B vent passing through a roof must have a flashing, storm collar, thimble and a Type B cap is required. See diagrams page 9.

- Venting on the Allagash CANNOT be less than 4" in diameter or greater than 4" in diameter.

  • Any UNUSED flue or masonry enclosure can be used as a passage way for venting the Allagash: PROVIDED the flue is relined using Type B 4" vent or Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
  • The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any other appliance.
  • When terminating through the roof refer to the Gas Vent Rule for proper vent termination height. See Figure 1.

  1. Install the identification labels to the stove so that they can be seen by any person that may be servicing the stove.

  2. Reassemble the stove, apply gas to the system and check for gas leaks including all stove lines before and after the valve.

NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! This is very important

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe operation of the Allagash B-Vent gas stove. It is important that the correct gas pressure be established at the time of the installation. For more details, see the Gas Pressure section of this manual on page 13.

ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 23 OF THIS MANUAL WHEN LIGHTING YOUR ALLAGASH.

MAKING THE GAS CONNECTION:

NOTE: IF THE OPTIONAL FORCED BLOWER KIT (PART # 129161) IS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AS POSSIBLE.

USE OF A 90° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE VALVE WILL ALLOW FOR PROPER CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOWER.

The gas supply line connection is made to the valve just inside the left rear leg. The Gas supply line should be a minimum of 3/8" in diameter, 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 Figure 5.

1/2" x 3/4" Flare Shut-Off Valve 3/4" NPT x 3/4" Flare Filling 3/4" Flex Tubing Gas Stub 3/4" Nipple 3/4" Union 3/4" Close Nipple 3/4" Shut-Off Valve 1/2" x 3/4" Reducer Figure 5

T-handle gas cocks are required in Massachusetts in compliance 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.

Leak test:

  • Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
  • Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page 23 of this manual or on the stove's rating plate.
  • Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.
  • If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.

Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.

GAS PRESSURE:

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe operation of the Allagash 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 instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the stove is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. 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.)

Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure include:

Insufficient gas pressure:

  • Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient millivolts.
  • Little variation in flame picture between HI and LO settings.
  • Insufficient gas to support more than one appliance causing nusance outages or gas surges.

Excessive gas pressure:

  • Permanent damage to valve causing complete appliance shut down.
  • Too large a pilot flame resulting in over heating of the power generator causing shut down.
  • Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel to air mix.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS:

When installing the Allagash in high altitude (above 2000') situations it becomes necessary to compensate for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher altitudes effect the atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in the air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner tube.

In the U.S.

THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT/FLAME APPEARANCE:

THE ALLAGASH B-VENT GAS STOVE IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY EQUIPPED AS A NATURAL GAS STOVE; THEREFORE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY WHEN USING THE STOVE WITH PROPANE GAS TO ADJUST THE AIR SHUTTER ON THE BURNER TUBE TO ACHIEVE THE PROPER GAS TO AIR MIX. See Figure 6.

The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, however most consumers enjoy the warm yellowish flame.

Closing the air shutter - will 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 in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.

Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.

Jøtul recommends the following settings for the Allagash B-Vent gas stove: for use with propane 1/4" open for use with natural 1/4" open

Figure 7 AIR SHUTTER BURNER TUBE Burner Orilice

ATTENTION: Air shutter should never be LESS than 1/8" open.

REMEMBER: Run the stove for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes for an accurate representation of the flame appearance- this should be done before and between any air shutter adjustment.

To adjust the air shutter

  1. Remove the burner tube and using a phillips head screwdriver loosen the screw at the air shutter and adjust accordingly.
  2. Be sure to retighten the screw that holds the air shutter setting.
  3. Reassemble the stove and close the door, allow stove to burn 30 minutes on the HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously.
  4. 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.

INSTALLING THE LOG SET:

The Allagash is equipped with a one piece log set and is packaged in bubble wrap inside the firebox. The log set must be removed from the packaging and arranged in the unit prior to start up of the gas stove. Do not handle the log set with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic fibers.

To install the log set, remove the packaging and place the log set inside the firebox, centered from left to right and completely against the rear wall of the stove. See Figure 8.

Embers: the stove is shipped with a package of glowing embers. These embers should be “pea size” and individually spaced across the burner tube screen. It is best to equally space these embers for optimum flame appearance. NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE ALL OF THE EMBERS.

THE CERAMIC FIBER LOGS AND GLOWING EMBERS CAN IRRITATE YOUR SKIN. IF THIS HAPPENS, GENTLY WASH HANDS WITH WARM SOAPY WATER.

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL BLOWER:

IMPORTANT: IF THE OPTIONAL FORCED AIR BLOWER KIT (part # 129161) IS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AS POSSIBLE. USE OF A 90° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE VALVE WILL ALLOW FOR PROPER CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOWER.

Mounting the blower:

  1. Locate the reflector sheild (28) on the back of the stove. Remove the cover plate from the reflector shield to allow the blower bracket to slide under the stove.
  2. Locate the two raised bosses on the bottom plate (back) of the stove.
  3. The blower is mounted to the stove using these two threaded holes.
  4. With the blower bracket and sensor facing upward align the two middle mounting holes on the bracket with the two threaded holes on the bottom of the stove. See Figure 10.
  5. Use the two 6mm bolts to attach the blower to the stove.
  6. Be sure to tighten the bolts so that the blower is drawn upward and tight against the stove bottom.
  7. The heat sensor (thermodisc), that is already attached to the blower bracket, should be inserted under the stove bottom and make contact with the firebox! See Figure 10.

Middle mounting holes. Use these holes to mount blower. Sensor (thermodisc) Direction under the stove. Figure 10

Connecting the blower wiring harness:

  1. Lift off the stove top plate.
  2. Loosen ( BUT DO NOT REMOVE) the 10mm bolt holding the switch box to the side of the stove (left rear corner of the stove), and lift out the switch box.
  3. Remove the "blank" switch from the box. (Hint: break the retaining tabs holding the switch in the box.)
  4. Insert the new HI/OFF/LO switch into the box.
  5. Connect the insulated wires from the blower to three leads on the HI/OFF/LO switch. BLACK wire to the HI position, WHITE wire to the OFF position, and the RED wire to the LO position. See Figure 11.
  6. Retighten the switch box to the side of the stove. Be sure all wires are unobstructed.
  7. Replace top plate.

REMINDER:

The blower will ONLY come on when the switch is in the Hi or Lo position and ONLY when the sensor (thermodisc) is heated by the stove.

(Approximately 10 - 20 minutes after the stove has been running).

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL WALL THERMOSTAT OR REMOTE:

When installing a wall mounted thermostat to the Allagash, it must be a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat. The thermostat should be placed in the same room as the heater, typically 5' off the floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may effect the accuracy of the thermostat. The thermostat should be connected to the Allagash using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum length of 35 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 DISCONNNECT ANY OTHER WIRES. See Figure 12.

For the thermostat to work 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 connected to the two connections screws on the thermostat base plate per the manufacturer's instructions.

Remote: When using a remote, the remote receiver should be wired to the terminal block the same way the thermostat would be. See the instructions above.

SPILL SWITCH:

The Allagash B-Vent gas stove is equipped with a vent "SPILL SWITCH". This switch stops gas flow to the main burner in the event that the appliance is not vented or if the venting is blocked.

The spill switch is an important safety device located on the draft hood of the appliance and is wired directly to the thermocouple (power source for the stove). The “spill switch” is a bimetal sensor that is heat sensitive. In the event that the venting is not carrying the exhaust up and out, the heat from the exhaust will trigger the switch and stop the electrical current to the valve; thereby stopping gas flow to the main burner.

Spillage: Condition of flue gases failing to exit the venting system properly and instead flowing out of the relief opening of the draft hood and into the dwelling. Condition calls for immediate examination of the appliance and venting system and corrective action.

Source: HEARTH- Gas Training Manual

Spillage usually occurs due to incorrect vent size, or incorrect installation. Be sure to read all of the installation requirements addressed in this manual for the proper and safe installation of your Allagash B-Vent gas stove.

Unexplained outages can be the result of the “spill switch”. If you experience unexplained outages, contact your local Jøtul dealer for assistance.

ANY SERVICE TO THE SAFETY SPILL SWITCH MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY.

CAUTION: LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

ATTENTION: AU MOMENT DE L'ENTRETIENDES COMMANDES, ETIQUETEZ TOUS LES FILS AVANT LE DEBRANCHEMENT. DES ERREURS DE CABLAGE PEUVENT ENTRAIUN FONCTIONNEMENT INADEQUAT ET DAGEREUX.

CHECKING THE SYSTEM:

  1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appliance for the first time it will take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the stove's rating plate and the back cover of this manual. All subsequent lightings of the stove will not require such purging of the gas line.

  2. PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer edges.

It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8" of the thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8" of the quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1" at all three ports. See Figure 13.

Pilot Hood Ignitor 1/8" (3mm) Min. 1" (25mm) 3/8" (8mm) Min. Thermocouple Thermopile

Figure 13.

  1. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: The Jøtul Allagash gas stove is equipped with a variable gas control valve. This valve provides easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the center of the valve face. Flame height will adjust approximately 1.0" to 1.5" between the HI and LO settings. See Figure 14.

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DETECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSIST, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of this manual for proper air shutter settings and adjustments (page 14). Note: the more offsets on the vent system, the greater the need for an air shutter adjustment.

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GAS VALVE IN ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER THAN THE FULL "ON" POSITION.

OPERATION OF APPLIANCE:

  1. The Allagash B-Vent gas stove is equipped with an On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or can be controlled using an optional wall-mounted thermostat. A separate switch is provided for the optional forced air blower kit.
  2. When lit for the first time, the Allagash will emit an odor for several hours. This odor is the burn-off by-products of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
  3. Condensation may occur on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as the appliance heats up.
  4. Keep the controls and the area under the appliance free of debris, vacuum this area frequently. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
    If and when a vacuum is used on any service for the stove, ALWAYS be sure the stove is cold and there are NO hot embers or sparks.
  5. Remember, this appliance has a continuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using products with combustible vapors.
  6. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS REMOVED CRACKED OR BROKEN. REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT GLASS PROVIDED BY YOUR AUTHORIZED J∅TUL DEALER. NEVER USE ANY SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
