8.0 Operation

WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE
THIS APPLIANCE. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO
OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WHO HAS NOT READ AND
UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP THE
REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER WHERE CHILDREN
CANNOT REACH IT.
WARNING:
SEVERE INJURY. THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE SET TO
OPERATE THERMOSTATICALLY. BE AWARE THAT
THE APPLIANCE MAY BE VERY HOT EVEN WHEN
THE BURNER IS NOT APPARENTLY OPERATING.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE.
During the first few hours of operation, it is common to
n
detect some smoke and odor resulting from the high-
temperature paint curing. This condition is temporary
and may be alleviated by opening windows and using a
fan to exhaust air out of the area.
Condensation will develop on the glass each time the
n
burner ignites from a cold start. This "fog" will dissipate
as the glass heats. Leaving the pilot on during the heating
season will minimize condensation.
IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to clean the glass after
n
the first few fires. A white powdery residue will be
evident which results from the burner media curing.
Use a non-abrasive household glass cleaner or warm
water. IF THE GLASS IS NOT CLEANED, THIS RESIDUE CAN
CAUSE THE GLASS TO BECOME PERMANENTLY ETCHED.
DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS.
n NOTE GI 545 MV MODEL: This appliance can be operated
with a continuously burning pilot flame for up to seven
days after which the flame will automatically extinguish
if there has been no call for heat within that time
period. The pilot will automatically re-ignite at the next
call for heat, whether manually or thermostatically.
Keep the control compartments free of dust and debris.
n
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, or flammable liquids.
Exercise caution when using household products
n
containing combustible vapors when the pilot is
burning.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS
n
PANEL 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 JØTUL DEALER. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS.

8.1 Initial System Check and
General Operation
1. Initial System Purge:
Open the gas supply line valve. When lighting the
appliance for the first time, or after a long period of
unuse, it will take a few moments to clear the gas line
of air.
2. Light the Pilot:
Once this purge is complete, light the pilot following
the lighting instructions located on the rating plate
and back cover of this manual.
All three pilot flames should project out of the pilot
hood. The flames should be blueish-yellow in color and
extend approximately 1" (25 mm) over to the burner
ports, thermopile, and thermocouple. Each flame
should be strong and steady - not fluttering or lifting.
It is important that the pilot flame fully engulf the
upper 1/4" of the thermocouple and thermopile. See
Fig. 8.2.
The pilot flames may be adjusted if necessary using
the adjustment screw located on the gas valve body,
Fig. 7.2, page 15. Pilot adjustments should only be
made by a qualified gas technician.
3. Light the Burner:
Place the Burner Switch in the ON
position. The pilot light will ignite
the burner. When lighting the pilot
for the first time, or in a cold flue, it
may be necessary to allow the pilot
to burn for 10-15 minutes to establish
draft before main burner ignition.
Adjust the valve Regulator knob to
control fire intensity and heat output.
4. STAT position:
Set the Burner Switch to STAT for optional remote or
wall thermostatic control. Follow the instructions of
the thermostat manufacturer.
