Vent Guidelines• All vent components must be installed in accordancewith the terms of their listing and manufacturer’s
instructions.

• The minimum height of termination cap from the
top of the unit shall be no less than 10’, and the maximum height shall be no more than 40’. See figures 2
and 4.
• Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly windy
conditions can promote weak draft or occasional
downdrafts. In such cases, increasing the height ofthe vent or installation of high wind termination
caps may alleviate the condition.

• HORIZONTAL RUNS are not permitted anywhere in
the venting system.

• Venting liners CANNOT be less than 3” in diameter orgreater than 3” in diameter.
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used
as a passageway for venting PROVIDED the flue isrelined using 3” Listed Flexible Gas Liner.

• The remaining space around the liner in a masonryor zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent anyother appliance.

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

• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance
requirements will void all warranties and could resultin property damage, bodily injury, or loss of life.
• 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 APPLIANCE.

• The minimum vent height above the roof or adjacentwalls is specified by building codes. A general guideto follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.

Vent Installation Procedure

This appliance must be vented through dual 3 inch
flexible gas aluminum liners listed for use with gas
appliances.

The co-linear installation includes a pair of 3 inch
flex ducts that run from the insert up through theexisting chimney.

One duct is attached to the exhaust port on theback of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to theoutside of the house. This exhaust liner must run thefull length of the chimney and be directly connected tothe chimney termination cap. See figure 8.

The other 3 inch liner will be attached to the air intake port on the back of the unit and will provide fresh
air for combustion to the unit. This liner must extend aminimum of 6 feet off the back of the unit and extend
through the damper area of the fireplace and into thetile liner of the chimney. This liner can also extend thefull length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap. See figures 8 and 9.

		

IMPORTANT

If the intake flex does not extend the full lengthof the chimney and connect to the unit and thetermination cap - A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNITBELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at
the damper area). See figure 8.

To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct tobe used for the exhaust conduit at both the top andbottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will
be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on
the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts
must extend the full length of the chimney and beconnected to both the unit and the termination kit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIRINTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI Z21.881999-CSA 2.33-M99 TEST METHODS AND RESULTING
ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. THE CODEAUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MUST BE
CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THISINSTALLATION METHOD.

139177_Rev_C July 11, 2010

Venting through a Masonry Fireplace
1. Measure height of the chimney to fireplace opening.
Determine if both the intake and exhaust will be
extended to the top of the chimney. In Canada, bothliners must extend the full length of the chimney
and be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

2. Cut the appropriate lengths of flex duct for both theintake and exhaust. Label both ends of the Exhaustduct.

3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to attach theends of the duct(s) to the chimney termination kit asappropriate.
4. Drop the liners down the chimney from the top andrest the termination kit atop the chimney.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Modification

1. Remove any fuel grate and other components attached to the firebox. Do not cut out any sheet metalparts of the fireplace into which the insert will be
installed.

If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s)provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” (37.5 mm) or lessmay be drilled troughthe lower sides or bottom ot
the firebox in aproper workmanship-like manner.
This access hole must be sealed with non-combustilble insulation after the gas supply has been installed.

2. Remove the damper assembly. This includes thedamper blade, handle and any linkage. Two 3” liners
must be able to pass through the damper area.
3. Remove any firescreen or door assembly. This is usually accomplished with removal of a support rod on
the inside of the fireplace frame.

4. Remove the metal ashlip, if appropriate, to allow theinsert to sit flat within the fireplace. Be sure to reinstall any screws removed.
5. Attach the fireplace conversion notice to the back of
the factory-built fireplace.

NOTICE:

If the intake flex does not extend the full lengthof the chimney and connect to the unit and thetermination cap - A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNITBELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at
the damper area). See figure 9.

To avoid cross venting the insert, label the duct tobe used for the exhaust conduit at both the top andbottom ends. This ensures that the exhaust duct will
be attached to the correct collar on the insert and on
the chimney termination kit.
CANADA NOTE: Both Intake and Exhaust ducts
must extend the full length of the chimney and beconnected to both the unit and the termination kit.

Gas Supply Connection

The gas supply line connection is made to the valve on
the left side of the unit facing the front. The gas supply
line should be a minimum of 3/8” in diameter, or theappropriate size to provide sufficient gas pressure to thevalve regardless of the input setting.
See fig. 11 and 12.

For your convenience, the GI 450 DV II Katahdin isshipped with a length of 3/8” cast iron nipple and a 24”
length of flexible gas line. Jotul recommends the use of
the flexible gas line for ease of installation and service.
However, for those areas where flexible gas lines are notpermitted, use of the 3/8” iron nipple is recommended.
See fig. 11.
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 LOCALCODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUST COMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL
FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR CAN-B149.

All codes require: a gas shut-off valve (gas cock).union, to be installed in the supply line, and in the sameroom as the appliance. This allows for the disconnectionof the insert for servicing and maintenance. See fig. 11.
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 sensor. Never use an open flame to checkfor leaks. Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint andretest for any gas leaks.

High Altitude Adjustment

When installing this appliance at altitude above 2000
feet, it is necessary to compensate for the thinner air(less volume of air per cubic foot). Higher altitudes affectthe atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous
fuels. The lower oxygen content in the air and the lower
gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice toachieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner tube.
In the U.S.

THE DE-RATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL CODES AND
REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE FILLED OUT
BY THE INSTALLER AND APPLIED TO THE APPLIANCE AT
THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED SERVICEAGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DE-RATING.
In CanadaThis unit has been tested for installation at high altitudes in accordance with Canadian test standard CAN/
CGA-2.17. THE DE-RATING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT INACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN1B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.

High Altitude Installations:2000 ft. to 4500 ft. installations (or 610 m - 1370 m)
See Table 1.

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 toadjust for varying altitudes, the information label must
be completed by the installer and applied to the appliance at the time of the conversion. See fig. 18.

Derating procedure

1. Install the appropriate orifice per the High Altitude
Chart.

2. Remove the burner tube to expose the main burner
orifice.

3. Use a 1/2” deep well socket or open end wrench to
remove the orifice and replace with the appropriate
one from the high altitude adjustment kit.

4. Attach the high altitude conversion sticker provided
to the rating plate on the appliance. See figure 14.

5. It may be necessary to adjust the air shutter on theburner tube. See the Flame Picture / Air Shutter Adjustment on the next page for more details.

CLOSE

OPEN

WARNING:AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICETECHNICIAN.
The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve
the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, however most people
enjoy a warm, yellowish flame.

Figure 19. Air Shutter location.

Closing the Air Shutter - Insufficient combustion air
will result in very long yellow flames that can promotesoot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on
the inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on theexterior termination cap.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the
flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.

Opening the air shutter - will generate a flamethat is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This
flame is generally more efficient, but not very attractive.
Jøtul recommends the following settings for the
Katahdin gas insert:
Propane: 3/16” open

Natural Gas: 1/16” open

Run the insert for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes foran accurate representation of the flame appearance.
This should be done before and between any air
shutter adjustments.

To adjust the air shutter:

1. Loosen the air shutter stem wing nut located under
the firebox. See fig. 19.

2. Sliding the stem to the right opens the shutter andincreases air/fuel ratio. Sliding it to the left restricts
air flow and decreases the air/fuel ratio.

3. Allow insert to burn 30 minutes on the HIGH setting,observing the flame continuously. Make further
adjustments in 1/8’inch increments and let the flame
settle-in before making subsequent adjustments.
4. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat theprocess described above until the flame is as desired.

Fireplace Operation

Burner Controls• Burner functions may be manually controlled by placing the burner switch in the ON/OFF position.

• The STAT position permits automatic control throughuse of an optional wall thermostat or remote control
device. Fig. 44.

Figure 44. Burner controls.

Pilot Modes• Intermittent Pilot Ignition ( IPI )Pilot assemblyThis feature allows the pilot flame to go out when
there is no call for heat. Ideal for use with thermostatic or remote control, the control ignites the pilot
flame only when there is a call for heat. A battery
back-up permits continued use in the event of apower failure.

• Continuous Pilot Ignition ( CPI )This permits the pilot to continue burning evenwhen there is no call for heat. This feature allows theburner to function properly under a variety of adverse
conditions. For example, it can be difficult to establish positive draft through a very long vent system,
particularly in moderate weather. In such cases, theentire system will benefit from the heat generated bya continuous pilot flame.

Figure 45. Pilot assembly location.

Exercise caution when operating with a continuous
pilot. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS HAVING COMBUSTIBLE VAPORS AROUND THE OPERATING FIREPLACE.

NOTE: If the unit works best in CPI mode , or cannot be operated in IPI mode, consider installing a high-efficiency pilot
orifice.

Flame Picture• The gas control valve regulator provides easy adjustment of flame height, appearance, and heat output.
To adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting,rotate the HI/LO knob, located on the valve face.

NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECKLOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS APPARENT.
IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSIST, THE AIR SHUTTER MAY
REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT.

Blower Operation

The GI 450 DV II Katahdin is equipped with a 125 cfm
heat-activated blower. The power cord should be connected to the nearest 120V house current outlet.

The cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding)plug for protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
The blower must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the current NFPA 70- National Electrical Code or
CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.

The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch(snapstat) that will function only if the blower control
switch is in the Automatic ( ) setting. Once the firebox
heats after the burner has been operating for a shorttime, the blower will power on regardless of speed
control setting. In Automatic ( ) mode, the blower willcontinue to operate after the burner is turned off, until thesnapstat cools. See fig. 48.
In the manual power ON ( ) position, the blower willfunction regardless of the temperature of the fireplace.

Accent Lamps

139177_Rev_C July 11, 2010

Twin accent lamps are controlled by the switch anddimmer located to the left of the blower controls.
Use of the accent lamps will assist in maintaining
draft in very long vent runs and thereby help ensure
consistent IPI performance.
CAUTION:ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER WHENSERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION
WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS
OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATIONAFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
ATTENTION:

function.

Figure 48. Blower and Accent Lamp Controls

System Check• Initial System Purge: When lighting the appliance forthe first time, or after a long period of disuse, it willtake a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once
this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as
described in the lighting instructions located on theinsert’s rating plate and back cover of this manual.

• The pilot flame should be steady - not lifting or floating. The flame should be blue in color around thepilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outeredges. It is important that the pilot flame engulf
the top 1/8” of the flame rectifier / sensor. The pilot
flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” fromboth ports. See Figure 28.

• When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit anodor for an hour or two. This odor is the result of burnoff of manufacturing by-pro ducts. Opening a nearby
window to provide fresh air will alleviate this temporary condition.
• Condensation may occur on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as theappliance temperature increases.
• Keep the controls and the area under the appliancefree of debris; vacuum this area frequently. Always
keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
ALWAYS be sure the insert is cold and NO hot embers
or sparks are present before using a vacuum cleaner.
• CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH
THE GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN.

CAUTION:THE IGNITION SYSTEM OF THIS APPLIANCE CARRIESLIVE VOLTAGE. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLYTO THE INSERT AND DISCONNECT THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE ANY SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED,INCLUDING BATTERY REPLACEMENT.

MaintenanceThis appliance and venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service
technician
General cleaning:
Vacuum the controls area under the firebox at least
monthly or more frequently if pet hair is in theenvironment.

The firebox should be vacuumed annually. Be sure
to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner
orifice and burner tube. Use a brush attachment tovacuum the log set.

Gasket inspection: Inspect the glass gasket annually.
Examine the gasket for signs of deterioration or
stiffness and confirm that the gasket maintains
a positive seal. This is important to prevent
combustion gases escaping into the room. Replace
the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement
parts list on page 31.
