Safety Information  
Location  
During normal operation, the GF 300 BV gas stove will  
reach high surface temperatures. Therefore:  
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.  
Due to the high operating temperatures, this appli-  
ance should be located out of traffic areas and away  
from furniture and draperies.  
The GF 300 BV 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.  
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards  
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to  
avoid burns and/or clothing ignition.  
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.  
Young children should be supervised while they are in  
the same room as the GF 300 BV gas stove.  
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be  
placed ON or NEAR the GF 300 BV gas stove.  
Surveiller les enfants. Garder les vetements, les  
meubles, l’essence ou autres liquides a vapeur  
inflammables loin de l’appareil.  
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a  
material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire Resistant”  
materials are considered combustible: they are difficult  
to ignite, but will burn. Also,fire-rated” sheet rock is  
considered combustible.  
NEVER store or use gasoline or any other flammable  
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the GF 300 BV gas  
stove.  
Hearth Requirements  
The GF 300 BV gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on  
carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.  
Never burn any other materials in your GF 300 BV  
Allagash gas stove, it is strictly designed for use with  
natural gas or propane fuel ONLY.  
If this appliance will be installed on any combustible  
material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be  
installed that is either metal or 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  
carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor  
protection. See fig. 1.  
·Any safety screen, glass or guard removed for servic-  
ing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating  
the appliance.

Vent Requirements  
The GF 300 BV Allagash is specifically designed to  
operate using 4Type B vent pipe components or a Listed  
Flexible gas liner.  
• All venting components must be installed in accor-  
dance 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.  
Figure 5. Termination Height Requirements.  
Maximum number of 90° elbows: three  
Maximum number of 45° elbows: four  
• When terminating through the roof refer to the Gas  
Vent Rule for proper vent termination height.  
See fig. 5.  
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 10.  
• NO venting may terminate horizontally or below  
roof eaves.  
• 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 10.  
• Passage through combustibles (walls, ceilings) must  
be with Type B venting and must maintain listed  
clearances.  
• Venting on the Allagash CANNOT be less than 4” in  
diameter or greater than 4” in diameter.  
• Any horizontal run should have an upward slope of  
1/4” per foot toward the termination cap.  
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used as  
a passage way for venting, but the flue must be  
relined using Type B 4” vent or Listed Flexible Gas  
Liner.  
• When venting through a thimble into a masonry  
flue, any venting exposed in the room must be Type  
B venting, or a flexible liner sleeve within 24 ga. 6”  
stove pipe.  
• The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or  
zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any other  
appliance.  
• Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed in any  
living space.

Use of Type B vent  
liner within outside  
chimneys is  
recommended to  
help keep the gases  
warm and stabilize  
draft.  
Max. Height 35 ft.  
Min. Height 7 ft.  
• 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.  
• Never modify any venting component, or use any  
damaged venting product.  
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE  
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILD-  
ING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERV-  
ING A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCES.  
Always  
maintain the  
proper  
clearance to  
mantel and  
trim  
• BE SURE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER CLEARANCES TO  
COMBUSTIBLES AS DEFINED IN THIS MANUAL AND  
IN THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH EACH  
VENTING COMPONENT.  
Maximum  
When installing at an altitude above 2000’ the  
minimum vertical rise becomes 12’ from the draft  
hood.

NOTE:  
A chimney system located outside the building  
envelope may be subject to downdrafting  
and/or flow reversal. Atmospherically-vented  
appliances, such as B-Vents, may not be compat-  
ible with these chimney systems.  
All atmospherically-vented appliances (B-Vents)  
are affected by atmospheric conditions and  
house pressurization. For example, a B-Vent  
appliance vented to an outside chimney system  
in a basement will likely be subject to negative  
pressure. This type of installation is not recom-  
mended.

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.  
BLOWER NOTE: Install the optional blower before  
connecting the gas line in order to ensure adequate  
clearance between both.  
Label B: apply to stove’s rating plate.  
The gas supply line connection is made to the left side of  
the front-mounted 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.  
Small valve Label: apply to valve.  
17. Reassemble the stove, apply gas to the system and  
check for leaks using a soapy water solution.  
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 15).  
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.  
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  
fig. 12. Pushing the stem back will restrict air, while  
pushing it forward will open the shutter and in-  
crease air. With some experimentation, you will find  
the shutter position that works best for your installa-  
tion.  
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. 18.  
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE  
INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN LIGHT-  
ING YOUR STOVE.  
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.

Gas Pressure  
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe  
operation of the GF 300 BV 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. 19. 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

Log Set Installation  
Brick Kit Note: Install the optional Antique Brick Kit  
155370 before installing the logset. See page 22 and  
the instructions provided with that kit.  
The GF 300 BV logset must be installed before operating  
the burner. The logset includes four log pieces, packaged  
inside the firebox, and a quantity of ember stones  
packaged in the Miscellaneous Parts bag. To install the  
log set, remove the packaging and place the parts inside  
the firebox as illustrated in figures 20-24. Do not  
handle the log set with your bare hands. Always wear  
gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic fibers.  
Figure 21. Install Right Log  
The ember stones realistically simulate glowing  
coals when the burner is operating. These should be  
spread evenly over the burner plate and around the logs. DO  
NOT OBSTRUCT THE PILOT ASSEMBLY OPENING. Do not pile  
the embers in front ot the burner skirt edges. See fig. 24.  
NOTE: You do not need to use all of the  
ember stones. With experimentation, you will  
find the arrangement and quantity of embers  
that works best with your stove. Depending upon  
the characteristics of your installation, it is  
possible that too many ember stones can pro-  
mote sooting on the logs. Adjust the quantity of  
ember stones as appropriate to maintain the best  
overall flame picture and burner performance.

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter  
Adjustment  
Optional Wall Thermostat or  
Remote Control  
The GF 300 BV 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.  
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  
BV using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum  
length of 25 feet of wire.  
Too large an air opening - the appliance will generate  
a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic”  
flame.  
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. 26.  
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.  
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.  
To adjust the air shutter:  
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen the  
wingnut located closest to you. See fig. 25. Slide the  
wingnut stud forward to open the air shutter and back  
to provide less air. Make adjustments in small incre-  
ments.  
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.  
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the  
desired setting.  
CAUTION:  
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.  
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION  
WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING  
ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER OR DANGEROUS  
OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERA-  
TION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

System Check  
Installing Decorative Pipe  
1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appli-  
ance 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. See the inside back cover of  
this manual or the stove Rating Plate attached the  
bottom of the stove. Subsequent burner starts will  
not require purging the gas line unless the supply  
line is shut off.  
The use of decorative pipe is optional. No decorative  
pipe is included with the Jøtul GF 300 BV Allagash,  
however, four locator brackets are included with  
the stove in the hardware bag. The brackets are  
used to center the decorative pipe over the draft  
hood on which the pipe rests. Follow the procedure  
below to attach the brackets to the stove.  
1. Remove the four 1/4” hex head screws that  
attach the 4” Flue Collar to the draft hood, but  
do not remove the Flue Collar. See Figure 27.  
2. PILOT FLAME: You can monitor the pilot flame  
through the view port located at the rear of the  
Right Log. See fig. 28. 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.  
2. Align the “L- shaped pipe brackets with the  
holes on the Flue Collar and attach using the  
four 1/4” hex head screws, located in the Misc.  
Hardware Bag.  
The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8” of the  
thermopile (to generate millivolt current) and the  
top 1/8” of the thermocouple. The pilot flame  
should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three  
ports. See fig. 28.  
Reminder: Do not use single wall stove pipe as the  
vent pipe on this appliance.  
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: This stove is equipped with a  
variable gas control valve that allows easy adjust-  
ment of the flame height appearance and heat  
output. To adjust the flame between the HI and  
LOW setting, rotate the HI/LOW knob, located in the  
center of the valve face. Fire intensity can be  
adjusted up to 50% between the LOW and HIGH  
settings. See fig. 29.  
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECK  
LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS  
PRESENT. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR  
SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

BLOCKED FLUE SWITCH  
Operation  
NOTE: This appliance is equipped with a Spill Switch  
which will disable the burner in the event that the  
vent system becomes blocked. Located on the side  
of the Draft Hood, at the back of the stove, the  
switch has a reset button that, when pressed, will  
re-enable burner function. See Fig. 27.  
Familiarize yourself with the controls of the GF 300 BV.  
Make sure that anyone else using the appliance is also  
familiar with the controls and operation procedures.  
Always follow the Lighting Instructions on the inside  
back cover of this manual and also located on the Rating  
Plate attached to the burner assembly.  
If the Spill Switch repeatedly shuts the burner  
off, turn off the gas supply and call your dealer or  
service technician. The Spill Switch will continue to  
shut off the burner until the vent problem has been  
corrected. Not all vent problems can be corrected as  
B-Vent appliances are affected by atmospheric  
conditions and house pressurization.  
1. Once the pilot is lit, burner operation is controlled by  
the rocker switch located at the left corner of the rear  
shroud. See fig. 30.  
ON / OFF - use for manual control of the burner.  
T-STAT - use for optional thermostatic or remote  
control operation. The burner will be controlled by  
those accessories.  
2. During the first few fires, you may notice odor and/or  
smoke from the stove. This is normal and results from  
burn-off of manufacturing residue and curing of  
materials. You may find it helpful to provide additional  
ventilation and fresh air to alleviate this condition.

Blower Operation  
BLOWER  
The optional variable-speed blower will enhance heat  
circulation around the firebox and out into the room.  
The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch  
(snapstat) that will ONLY function when the control  
switch is in AUTO setting. After the fire has been  
burning for a time, the snapstat will react to the heat  
and activate the blower. Fan speed may be manually  
adjusted with the rheostat knob. If the burner turns off,  
the blower will be shut off automatically when the  
stove cools down.

High Altitude Adjustment  
Installations burning natural gas and located at altitudes  
from 2000 - 4500 ft. (610 M - 1370 M), require compen-  
sation for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic  
foot). Higher altitudes affect 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.  
Replace with #40  
orifice  
For high altitude installations consult the local gas  
distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper  
rating methods. If the installer must convert the unit to  
adjust for varying altitudes, use Jøtul High Altitude Kit,  
#155810-NG.  
DO NOT DERATE THE BURNER FOR PROPANE.  
In the U.S: THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN  
AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE  
WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL

JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE  
COMPLETED BY THE INSTALLER AND APPLIED TO THE  
APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE  
QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK  
ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DERATING.  
Figure 43. Change the Burner Orifice.  
Derating Procedure  
In Canada: This unit has been tested for installation at

dard CAN/CGA-2.17. THE DERATING SHALL BE CARRIED  
OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE  
PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND  
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE  
CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.  
1. Follow Steps 1-10 of the Fuel Conversion procedure  
outlined on pages 11 and 12.  
2. Replace the original orifice with the #40 orifice in the kit.  
3. Fill out the high altitude conversion label from the kit  
and attach to the rating plate or gas valve.  
4. Reassemble the firebox components.  
5. It may be necessary to adjust the air shutter on the  
burner tube. See AIR SHUTTER/FLAME APPEARANCE
