Maintenance; Glass Replacement - Jøtul GF 300 DV Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Maintenance

Your Jøtul GF 300 DV Allagash and its venting system
should be inspected before use and at least annually by
a qualified service technician.
Use the form on page 30 to keep a maintenance
history of your stove.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE
FIREPLACE AND UNPLUG THE FORCED AIR BLOWER
BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE
FIREPLACE.
Annual Cleaning
Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney, 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
manufacturer's instructions provided at the initial
installation.
Burner and Logset
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 firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove
any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment and
handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be sure to
vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner
surfaces.
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.
Gasket Inspection
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least
annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deterio-
ration and make sure the gasket has a positive seal.
Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement
parts list on page 29.
