Annual Cleaning

Vent System
The entire vent system should be inspected and
cleaned every year. If the intake and exhaust
venting is disassembled for any reason, it should
be reassembled and sealed according to the vent
manufacturer's instructions provided at the initial
installation.
Burner and Log Set
Periodically inspect the firebox and valve
compartment to BE CERTAIN THAT THE FLOW
OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR IS
UNOBSTRUCTED. INSPECT THE PILOT ASSEMBLY FOR
CORROSION AND REPLACE ANY AFFECTED PARTS.
The firebox should be vacuumed at least annually
to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush
attachment and handle the logs carefully as they are
fragile.
Glass Care
Clean the glass as necessary. Wipe the surface with
a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft
towel. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS
ON THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN
IT IS HOT.
Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at
least annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of
deterioration and make sure the gasket has a positive
seal. Replace the gasket if necessary.
NOTE: INSPECT THE GLASS SURFACE FOR SCRATCHES
AS THESE CAN WEAKEN THE PANEL TENSILE
STRENGTH. REPLACE THE PANEL IF ANY SCRATCHES
ARE FOUND. USE ONLY JØTUL CERAMIC GLASS
PANELS: 156835 SIDE AND 156833 FRONT.
Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement
1. Use the 4 mm hex key to remove the four socket screws
that attach the Glass Frame to the firebox.
Remove the lower screws first and be sure to adequately
support the frame against the firebox while you remove
the upper screws.
.
2. Lay the assembly upside down on a flat surface, protecting
the frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.
3. The glass panel is held in place by four retainer tabs. Use
a screwdriver to carefully pry these up off the edge of
the glass retaining walls. If the tabs break off, use the
Tinnerman clips supplied with the replacement glass kit to
secure the glass panel within the frame.
4. Remove the old gasket material.
5. Beginning at the midpoint of the upper edge, apply the
new gasket around the glass panel, with the adhesive
side inside and the thicker portion on the outside. DO
NOT STRETCH THE GASKET MATERIAL. Trim off any excess,
leaving a 1/2" overlap as shown in fig. 60.
6. Lay the glass panel within the glass frame and press the tabs
back down or press the clips in place as shown in fig. 61.
