Maintenance

This appliance and its venting system should be
inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified
service technician.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AND
DISCONNECT POWER FROM THE APPLIANCE BEFORE ANY
SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED.
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 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 firebox and valve compartment should be
vacuumed annually to remove any dust and debris. Use
a soft brush attachment and handle the logs carefully
as they are fragile. Vacuum more frequently if there are
pets in the home.
The pilot assembly should be inspected and cleaned
annually by a qualified technician. Any component
showing corrosion should be replaced.
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
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 225476. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE
OF GLASS.
It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least
annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of dete-
rioration and make sure the gasket has a positive seal.
Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement
parts list on page 34.
Glass Panel or Gasket Removal
1. Lift the Top Plate off of the stove.
2. Remove four hex head bolts using a 10 mm wrench and
disengage the Top Convection Shroud from the top of
the firebox. See fig. 2, page 5.
3. Release the two Glass Frame Latches. Pull each latch
handle forward forward to disengage the latch from
the notches in the glass frame.
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
enough to release the glass panel. See fig. 54.
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. 55. 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 to secure the glass
in the frame. The replacement glass kit 157710 includes
4 compression clips for use in case a tab should break.
Figure 54. Bend the retainer tabs back enough to release
the glass panel.
