Battery Replacement; External Maintenance - Jøtul GF 373 BF Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

NOTE: If the appliance will not be used for an
extended period, such as during summer or storage,
disconnect power by setting the valve Master
switch to the Left (O). It is also advisable to shut
off the main gas supply line valve and remove the
batteries from the TESC valve to prevent corrosion.

Battery Replacement

The TESC valve is powered by 3, AA 1.5v alkaline batteries.
1. Slide the white Master switch to the left (O) position
to disconnect power, fig. 16.
2. Press and push the battery cover release lever to the
left to open the compartment.
3. Orient the batteries as displayed on the inside the
compartment.
Maintenance
The complete installation, including the gas supply,
firebox, burner components and vent system, must be
inspected annually. The inspection must be carried out by
qualified service technician.
Annual Service
Annual service of the appliance includes the follow-
ing check points.
1. Lighting and inspection of the pilot flame (see
the section - Inspection of the Pilot Flame above);
2. Cleaning the glass;
3. The gasket around the glass must be inspected
annually for wear and replaced if necessary;
4. Check if the textured embers need to be
replaced;
5. Look for soot. It could be a result of the ceramic
logs not being centred in the stove and
completely pushed onto the metal plate, or the
air regulator has been adjusted incorrectly. (see
fig.15: Adjusting the air shutter)
6. Check the gas pressure if other gas equipment is
connected to the gas supply;
7. Look for signs of corrosion on the appliance and
the vent system;
8. Identify and clear any obstructions in the vent
system (such as bird's nests, or branches from
bushes and trees). Confirm the integrity of vent
system seams and termination components.

External Maintenance

Painted products may change color after some years
of usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed
free of any loose particles before new stove paint is
applied. Enameled products must only be cleaned with
a soft damp cloth and only the surface is cold.
Do not use water or soap. Enamel surfaces stain easily
when hot. A solution of vinegar and baking soda may
be used to remove stains.
