Safety Information

 Due to the high operating temperatures thisappliance should be located out of traffic andaway from furniture, draperies, etc. Maintainproper clearance to combustible mantels andfireplace trim.

 Children and adults should be alerted to thehazards of high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

 Young children should be supervised while they
are in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers,
young children and others may be susceptible
to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier,such as a child guard, is recommended to be used
if there are at-risk individuals in the house. To
restrict access to a fireplace or stove, install an
adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young
children and other at-risk individuals out of theroom and away from hot surfaces.
 Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing
an appliance must be replaced prior to operating

 Never allow anyone to use the fireplace if they are
unfamiliar with its operation.

Location

In selecting a location for the stove, consider thefollowing points:
1) Heat distribution2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.

This appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials, however, proper clearance
to combustibles must be maintained in order to provide
adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it isimportant to provide adequate access around the stove
for servicing and proper operation.

The clearance and hearth specifications listed in thismanual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material is anything that canburn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). Thesesurfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also
include materials that may be located behind non-combustibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of amaterial, consult your local fire officials. “Fire Resistant”
materials are considered combustible: they are difficult toignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.

Hearth Requirements

The GF 400 BV gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo®.

 NEVER store or use gasoline or any otherflammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of thefireplace.

If this appliance will be installed on any combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal or wood, or a listed hearth
pad. This floor protection must extend the full widthand depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove
carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor
protection. See fig. 1.

 Any safety screen, glass or guard removed forservicing the appliance must be replaced prior tooperating the appliance.

Figure 1. Minimum Hearth Protection.

 Never burn any solid materials (wood, cardboard,paper, coal, etc.) in this gas fireplace. Use withnatural gas or propane fuel ONLY.

 Do not slam or strike the glass panel.

 This appliance is NOT for use with aftermarket
glass doors. Cet appareil ne sert pas avec desportes en verre de marché des accessoires.

Vent Requirements
The Jøtul GF 400 BV Sebago is specifically designed tooperate using 4” Type B vent pipe components or a Listed
Flexible gas liner.
• All venting components must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s instructions.

• The minimum height of a vertically terminated systemshall be no less than 7 feet, and the maximum height
shall be no more than 35 feet. See diagrams page 9.
• With steep roofs, nearby trees, and in predominant
windy conditions, poor draft or down draft conditions
can occur. In these cases, increasing the height of thevent or high wind termination caps may improve thesituation.

• ELBOWS: If an offset or elbow is necessary in the vertical rise, it is important to support the vent pipe every
three feet, to avoid excessive stress on the offsets.
• Whenever possible use 45° elbows opposed to 90°
elbows. This offers less restrictions for the flow of fluegases.
Maximum number of 90° elbows: three
Maximum number of 45° elbows: four

• TOTAL MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN ANYWHERE IN
THE VENTING CONFIGURATION IS 4 FEET. The distance
between any 45° elbows is considered a horizontal run.
See diagrams, page 10.
• Any Type B vent passing through a roof must havea flashing, storm collar, thimble and a Type B cap isrequired. See diagrams, page 10.
• Venting on the Sebago CANNOT be less than 4” indiameter or greater than 4” in diameter.

• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used as apassage way for venting, but the flue must be relined
using Type B 4” vent or Listed Flexible Gas Liner.
• The remaining space around the liner in a masonry or
zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any otherappliance.
• When terminating through the roof refer to the Gas
Vent Rule for proper vent termination height.
See fig. 5.
• NO venting may terminate horizontally or below
roof eaves.

8

Figure 5. Termination Height Requirements.

• Passage through combustibles (walls, ceilings) must
be with Type B venting and must maintain listed
clearances. The Jøtul GF 400 BV Sebago stove is approved for use only with 4” Simpson Dura-Vent Wall
Thimble #3143 to maintain proper vent clearances.
• Any horizontal run should have an upward slope of
1/4” per foot toward the termination cap.

• When venting through a thimble into a masonry
flue, any venting exposed in the room must be TypeB venting, or a flexible liner sleeve within 24 ga. 6”
stove pipe.

• Listed Flexible Gas Liners may not be exposed in any
living space.

138301_Rev_E 7.29.10• When 6” diameter decorative pipe is installed tocover the venting any Listed Flexible Gas liner must
be connected directly to the stove’s draft hood.

• Use of single wall connector pipe as a vent is prohibited for use with the GF400 Sebago B-Vent stove.
• A firestop is required at every floor.

• Any venting that is exposed above the first floor,
regardless of attic space or living space, must be
enclosed. Always maintain the required clearance
from all sides of the vertical vent system according
to manufacture.

• Installation of any components not manufactured orapproved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties and could resultin property damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.

• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVINGA SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLIANCES.

A chimney system located outside the building
envelope may be subject to downdrafting
and/or flow reversal. Atmospherically-vented appliances, such as B-Vents, may not be compatible
with these chimney systems.

All atmospherically-vented appliances (B-Vents)
are affected by atmospheric conditions and housepressurization. For example, a B-Vent appliancevented to an outside chimney system in a basement will likely be subject to negative pressure.
This type of installation is not recommended.

operation of this appliance. Use a manometer to checkpressures as specified in the Gas Pressure section ofthis manual (page 15).

19. Adjust the Air Shutter. You will need to position the
shutter to provide a gas/air mixture that will achieve
the best flame picture with your particular installation.
Start with the shutter stem at the half-way position in
the slot in the bottom of the stove. See fig. 12. Pushing
the stem back will restrict air, while pushing it forward will open the shutter and increase air. With someexperimentation, you will find the shutter position thatworks best for your installation.
ALWAYS REFER TO THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE
INSIDE BACK COVER OF THIS MANUAL WHEN LIGHTINGYOUR STOVE.

Gas Supply Connection
BLOWER NOTE: Install the optional blower before connecting the gas line in order to ensure adequate clearance between both.
The gas supply line connection is made to the left side of
the front-mounted valve. The gas supply line should be3/8” npt with a 1/2” diameter supply, or the appropriate
size to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve regardless of the input setting.
The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is acceptable in many areas in the U.S. However, Canadian
methods vary depending on local code.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODEOR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH
THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GASCODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.
All codes require a gas shut-off valve (gas cock) andunion, to be installed in the supply line, and in the sameroom as the appliance. This allows for the disconnectionof the stove for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 18.

A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO COMPLY WITH CODE 248CMR.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools andsealing compounds. For propane units be sure to use
compounds that are propane resistant. Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution orelectronic gas detector. Never use an open flame to checkfor leaks.

Leak test:

1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dishsoap.

2. Light appliance- see lighting instructions
on the inside back cover of this manual oron the stove’s rating plate.
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections
with the soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear at any connection orseam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF
position.
5. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint
and retest for any gas leaks.

Gas Pressure

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe
operation of the GF 400 BV gas stove. It is importantthat the correct pressure is established at the time of
the installation. Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental inchecking for gas leaks.
Pressure Test: Attach a manometer to the appropriate test point on the valve. See fig. 19. The gauge
connections are located on the front of the valve under
the On/Off/Pilot- knob. Gauge connections are identified by:

E - for Inlet or Supply Pressure (the amount of gas
coming to the valve.)
A - for Manifold Pressure (the amount of gas thatis coming out of the valve to the burner.)
ALWAYS TEST PRESSURES WITH VALVE CONTROLKNOB SET ON HIGH.

Log Set Installation

Brick Kit Note: Install the optional Antique Brick Kit
155370 before installing the logset. See page 22 and the
instructions provided with that kit.

The GF 400 BV logset must be installed before
operating the burner. The logset includes five log pieces,
and a bag of ember stones packaged inside the firebox.
To install the log set, remove the packaging and place theparts inside the firebox as illustrated in figures 20-24. Do
not handle the log set with your bare hands. Always wear
gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic fibers.
The ember stones realistically simulate glowing
coals when the burner is operating. These should bespread evenly over the burner plate and around the logs.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE PILOT ASSEMBLY OPENING. Do
not pile the embers against the burner skirt edges. See
fig. 24.

NOTE: You do not need to use all of the ember
stones. With experimentation, you will find thearrangement and quantity of embers that works
best with your stove. Depending upon the characteristics of your installation, it is possible that
too many ember stones can promote sooting on
the logs. Adjust the quantity of ember stones asappropriate to maintain the best overall flame
picture and burner performance.

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment

This stove is shipped from the factory equipped to burn
Natural gas. If the stove has been converted for use withpropane, the Air Shutter may require adjustment toachieve the desired flame appearance. Other installation
related variables can also affect the flame picture. The Air
Shutter may be opened or closed to provide the best flame
picture for your specific installation.

Too large an air opening - the appliance will generate aflame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.
Too small an air setting - the appliance will generatevery long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of theappliance, 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.
Air Shutter Adjustment should be done only by a qualified
gas technician.
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen thewingnut located closest to you. See fig. 25. Slide thewingnut stud forward to open the air shutter and backto provide less air. Make adjustments in small increments.
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the desired setting.

3. 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 describedabove until the flame is as desired.

Optional Wall Thermostat or
Remote Control

Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat
with this appliance. The thermostat should be placedin the same room as the heater, typically 5 feet off thefloor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may affect theaccuracy of the thermostat.

The thermostat should be connected to the stove using a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum lengthof 25 feet of wire.
Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the twoleft terminals on the terminal block located directly
above the ignitor button. Do not overtighten the connections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT ANYOTHER WIRES. See Fig. 26.

For thermostatic operation, the On/Off/T-Stat switch
on the back of the stove must be in the T-stat position,and the pilot light must be running, as it is the powersource for the thermostat.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be connected to the two connection screws on the thermostat baseplate per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Remote Control

When using a remote, the remote receiver should be
wired to the terminal block the same way the thermostat would be. See the instructions above.

Follow the operating instructions included with the
Remote Control unit.
CAUTION:LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHENSERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSEIMPROPER OR DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFYPROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

Installing Decorative Pipe

System Check

1. Remove the four 1/4” hex head screws that attach
the 4” Flue Collar to the draft hood, but do notremove the Flue Collar. See Figure 27.

2. PILOT FLAME: You can monitor the pilot flame
through the view port located at the rear of the Right
Log. See fig. 28. The pilot flame should be steady - notlifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color
around the pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward
the outer edges.

1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting the appliancefor the first time, it will take a few moments to clear
the gas line of air. Once this purge is complete, theappliance will operate as described in the lighting
instructions. See the inside back cover of this manualor the stove Rating Plate attached the bottom of thestove. Subsequent burner starts will not require purging the gas line unless the supply line is shut off.

The use of decorative pipe is optional. No decorative
pipe is included with the Jøtul GF 400 BV Sebago,
however, four locator brackets are included with thestove in the hardware bag. The brackets are used tocenter the decorative pipe over the draft hood onwhich the pipe rests. Follow the procedure below to
attach the brackets to the stove.

2. Align the “L”- shaped pipe brackets with the holeson the Flue Collar and attach using the four 1/4”
hex head screws, located in the Misc. Hardware
Bag.

The pilot flame should engulf the top 3/8” of thethermopile (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. 28.

Reminder: Do not use single wall stove pipe as thevent pipe on this appliance.

3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: This stove is equipped witha variable gas control valve that allows easy adjustment of the flame height appearance and heat
output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LOW
setting, rotate the HI/LOW knob, located in the centerof the valve face. Fire intensity can be adjusted up to
50% between the LOW and HIGH settings. See fig.
29.

Decorative
Pipe Brackets

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECKLOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS PRESENT.
IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY
NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

See Air Shutter/Flame Appearance section of thismanual for proper air shutter settings and adjustments. Note: the more offsets there are in the ventsystem, the greater the need for an air shutter adjustment. See page 16.

High Altitude Adjustment

Installations burning natural gas and located at altitudes
from 2000 - 4500 ft. (610 M - 1370 M), require compensation for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot).
Higher altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heatvalue of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in the
air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at theburner tube. For high altitude installations, consult the
local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction
for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert
the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, use Jøtul High
Altitude Kit, #155885-LP or # 155895 NG.
