NOTICE:

INSPECTED ANNUALLY BY A QUALIFIED GAS
TECHNICIAN. Keep this manual for reference.

Annual Cleaning
Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney if

appropriate, 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 System
Periodically inspect the firebox, valve compartment,
convection airways and optional blower to BE CERTAIN
THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR IS
UNOBSTRUCTED.
The valve compartment should be vacuumed regularly

to remove dust and debris. Vacuum more frequently if
there are pets in the home.
Use a soft brush attachment and handle log set

components carefully.
The pilot assembly and burner base should be

inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified
technician. Replace any component showing evidence
of corrosion.
Safety Barrier Screen
The integrated, Invisimesh® safety screen, located in
front of the door glass, should be periodically cleaned to
remove dust, lint, and other air-bourne debris. Over time,
and with continuous exposure to heat, these materials
can contribute to screen hue variations.
Open the front door and clean both sides of the screen
using a fine, soft bristle brush or vacuum attachment.
AVOID DAMAGING THE SCREEN. APPLY ONLY VERY
GENTLE PRESSURE.

Glass Care
Clean the glass only when 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.
DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANING SOLUTIONS .
Glass and Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least
annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deteriora-
tion and make sure the gasket has a positive seal. Replace
the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement parts list
on page 42.
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 JOTUL PN 225919.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS.
Glass Panel or Gasket Removal
1. Open the door. You do not need to remove the top
plate to access the glass frame, however, access will be
improved if you do.
2. Use the Latch Tool to pull each latch hook forward to
disengage them from the glass frame. See fig. 16.1.
4. Lift the glass frame all the way up and out of the top of
the stove. Lay this assembly on a flat surface, protecting
the frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.
5. The glass panel is held in place by four tabs on the
frame. Use a screwdriver or small pliers to pry these up
just enough to release the glass panel.
6. Remove the old gasket material.
Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement
1. Wrap the new gasket material evenly around the edge
of the glass, peeling back the protective strip to expose
the adhesive as you go. See fig. 16.2. Press the adhesive
side down onto the glass surface. Do not stretch the
gasket.
2. Place the gasketed glass within the frame and carefully
bend each of the retainer tabs back just enough
to secure the glass in the frame. See fig. 16.3. The
replacement glass kit 157912 includes 4 compression
clips for use in case a tab should break. The clips slip
over the edge of the frame sides.
