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 4”Type 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
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.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY

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.

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.
