Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
The GF 300 DV IPI gas stove is shipped from the
factory equipped to burn Natural gas. If the stove has
been converted for use with propane, the Air Shutter
adjustment range should be limited using the stop screw
supplied with the conversion kit. For natural gas, the Air
Shutter may be adjusted to provide the best flame picture
for your specific installation.
Other installation related variables can also affect the
flame picture.
Too large an air opening - the appliance will generate a
flame that is blue and transparent, or an "anemic" flame.
Too small an air setting - the appliance will generate
very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting
produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of
the appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination
cap. Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the
flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter
opening.
To adjust the air shutter:
1. Reach under the stove and loosen the wingnut. See
fig. 43 Slide the wing nut stud forward to open the air
shutter and back to provide less air. Make adjustments
in small increments.
2. Allow the stove to burn for 30 minutes on the HIGH
setting, observing the flame continuously. If the
flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process
described above until the flame is as desired.
3. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the
desired setting.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.

Initial Operation Notes
Check the build date on the shipping crate
label. If it has been more than 6 months since
the build date, be prepared to replace the IFC
batteries located in the valve compartment.
1. For the first several hours of operation, it is common
to detect some odor as the metal and manufacturing
materials cure under heat. This condition is temporary
and can be alleviated by allowing plenty of fresh air to
circulate through the area.
2. Condensation may develop on the glass upon each
lighting of the appliance. This "fog" will disappear as
the glass heats.
3. IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to clean the glass after
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 and warm
water. IF THE GLASS IS NOT CLEANED, THIS RESIDUE
CAN CAUSE THE GLASS TO BECOME PERMANENTLY
ETCHED. DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS.
4. Keep the control compartments and area under the
appliance free of dust. Always keep the appliance area
clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids.
5. This appliance can be operated with a continuously
burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using
household products containing combustible vapors.
6. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
WITH THE GLASS 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. NEVER SUBSTITUTE ANY
OTHER TYPE OF GLASS.
