System Check - Jøtul GF 600 DV II Firelight Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

System Check

1. Purge the gas line: When lighting the appliance
for the first time, it will take a few moments to
clear the gas line of air. Once this purge is com-
plete, the appliance will operate as described
in the lighting instructions. From a cold start, it
may be helpful to let the pilot light burn for 10
- 15 minutes to establish positive draft, before
turning the burner on. See the inside back
cover of this manual or the stove Rating Plate
attached the bottom of the stove. Subsequent
lightings of the stove will not require purging
the gas line unless the supply line is shut off.
2. Pilot flame: The pilot flame should be steady -
not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue
in color around the pilot hood, with traces of
yellow toward the outer edges.
The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8" of
the thermopile (to generate millivolt current)
and the top 1/8" of the thermocouple. The pilot
flame should project out of the pilot hood 1" at
all three ports. See fig. 29.
Be certain that the burner plate is securely po-
sitioned so that the carry-over ports are aligned
with the Main Pilot flame as in fig. 30.
3. Burner Adjustment: This gas stove is equipped
with a variable gas control valve that provides
50% turn-down of the flame height, appearance,
and heat output.
To adjust the flame between the HI and LOW set-
ting, rotate the HI/LOW knob, located in the center
of the valve face. See figs.15 and 31.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT.
CHECK LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS
DETECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR
SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
Note: the more offsets there are in the vent sys-
tem, the greater the need for an air shutter adjust-
ment.
WARNING:
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PER-
FORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME APPEARANCE
BY SETTING THE GAS VALVE IN ANY POSITION OTHER
THAN FULLY "ON" .
