Covering the Fireplace Opening

Clearance Requirements

Two cast iron surround styles are available for the
GI 425 Camden fireplace insert.

The following clearances and hearth requirements
are the minimum requirements when installing theCamden gas insert into a solid fuel burning appliance. These dimensions are measured from thefirebox cabinet to the combustible material. See
figures 5 and 6.
A combustible surface is anything that canburn (i.e. sheet rock, wallpaper, wood, fabrics etc.).
These surfaces are not limited to those that are
visible and also include materials that are behind
non-combustibles.

Standard Classic Surround
The GI425 Camden includes Surround Panels
that will overlap a maximum fireplace opening
39” Wide x 29 1/2” High.
The actual standard surround dimensions are40” Wide x 30 1/4” High.

Optional Lattice Classic Surround
The Lattice Surround Kit shares the same dimensions
as the standard Classic Surround described above.
#350557 - Matte Black#350558 - Blue Black.
#350559 - Jøtul Iron

Optional Wide Surround#155323 - Matte Black#155324 - Blue Black.
#155354 - Jøtul Iron
These optional panels can be used to extend the Classic
or Lattice surround panels to cover oversize fireplace
openings up to a maximum 47” Wide x 33 1/2” High.
The actual wide surround dimensions are 48” Wide x
34” High.
NOTE: The additional weight of the Wide Surroundmay necessitate use of the Anchor Bracket which isincluded with this fireplace. The anchor will ensurethat the surround assembly aligns properly against
the fireplace face. Use the installation instructions
included in the Hardware bag.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature ofa material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered
combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will
burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered
combustible.
Always maintain the proper clearances to theappliance for the proper flow of ventilation air
around the insert.

Vent Guidelines• All vent components must be installed in accordance with the listing terms and manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Vent Height: Measured from the top of the insert
to the top of the termination cap.
Minimum: no less than 10'
Maximum: no greater than 35'. See figures 9 and 10.
The minimum vent height above the roof or
adjacent walls is specified by building codes. As ageneral guide, follow the Gas Vent Rule on page
12.
• HORIZONTAL RUNS ARE NOT PERMITTED ANYWHERE IN THE VENTING SYSTEM.
• Venting liners used on this appliance may not beless than 3” in diameter or greater than 3” indiameter.
• 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 masonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used tovent any other appliance.
• Flexible liner components may not be exposed in
any living space.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance requirements will void all warranties andcould result in property damage, bodily injury, or
serious fire.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.

When installing a GI425 DV Camden gas insert intoa masonry fireplace the insert will be vented
through dual 3” flexible gas aluminum liners.
This co-linear installation includes a pair of 3”
flex ducts that run from the insert completely
through the existing chimney to the terminationcap.
One liner is attached to the Exhaust Outlet on
the back of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases
to the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must
be directly connected to the unit and run the fulllength of the chimney. See figure 7.
The other 3” liner will be attached to the Air
Intake Collar on the back of the unit to provide fresh
air for combustion. The Intake Collar is labeled foreasy identification. The liner must extend a minimum of 6’ off the back of the unit and extend
through the damper area of the fireplace into thetile liner of the chimney. This liner can also extend
the full length of the chimney and connect to thetermination cap.
IMPORTANT
If the intake flex does not extend the full lengthof the chimney, forming a direct connection between
the unit and the termination cap, A METAL BLOCK
OFF PLATE MUST BE INSTALLED to seal the air intake
from room air. Normally this sealing plate will be
installed within the existing fireplace damper area.
See figure 7. The sealing plate is not necessary if a
direct connection is made between the cap and thefireplace.

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

WARNING! Avoid cross venting the insert. Before
installation, label both ends of the exhaust flex pipe
to ensure connection to the appropriate collars on
the fireplace unit and vent termination cap.

• Variable Vent Restriction: See the System Checksection on pages 22-23 for specific instructions.

CANADA REQUIREMENT: Both the Intake andthe Exhaust liners must extend the fulllength of the chimney and be securely
connected to both the unit and the termination kit.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate installation, use anchors or masonrynails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate supplied with this unit tothe back wall of the masonry fireplace
firebox where it will be readily seen should
the insert be removed.

Prefabricated Fireplace Installation
A factory-built prefabricated fireplace will requirea few modifications before installation of the
Jøtul GI425 Camden fireplace insert.

Modification Steps:
1. Remove any fuel grate or other components
attached attached to the firebox. On mostmodels the firegrate is attached to the unit
with brackets which should be cut or pried off.
2. Remove the damper assembly. This includes
the damper blade, handle and any linkage.
Two 3” liners must be able to pass through thedamper area.
3. Remove any firescreen or door assembly. This is
usually done by removing a support rod on theinside of the fireplace frame.
4. If there is a metal ashlip, it too should be
removed to allow the unit to sit flat in thefireplace. Be sure to reinstall any screws
removed.
IMPORTANT:BEFORE STARTING THIS INSTALLATION,
MAKE SURE THAT A GAS LINE CAN BE
INSTALLED OR IS INSTALLED TO THE
FIREBOX. THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE
BY A QUALIFIED OR LICENSEDPLUMBER OR GAS FITTER.
The GI425 DV Camden gas insert is specifically designed to be vented using a co-linear
system.
Installation includes a pair of 3” flex ductsthat run from the insert completely through theexisting chimney to the termination cap. See
figure 8.
One liner is attached to the exhaust port on
the back of the unit and will carry the exhaustgases to the outside of the house. This exhaust
liner must be directly connected to the unit andrun the full length of the chimney.

The other 3” liner will be attached to the 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’ off the back of the unit and extend
through the damper area of the fireplace and into
the first section of pipe. This liner can also extend
the full length of the chimney and connect to thetermination cap. See figure 10.
IMPORTANT:
If the intake flex does not extend the full length ofthe chimney and connect to the unit and the termination cap - THEN A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNITPRIOR TO THE END OF THE INTAKE FLEX (normally at
the damper area).
To avoid cross venting the insert- always label
the flex to be used for the exhaust conduit at boththe top and bottom ends of the flex. This ensuresthat the exhaust flex is installed to the proper outlet
on the chimney termination kit.
The minimum vent height above the roof or
adjacent walls is specified by major building codes.

Venting Installation Through a
Prefabricated Fireplace
1. Measure height of the chimney to fireplace
opening. Determine if both the intake andexhaust will be extended to the top of thechimney.
2. Cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both theintake and exhaust.
3. Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to thechimney termination kit.
4. Drop the liners down the chimney from the top
and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.
5. Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of thechimney pipe with high temperature sealant.
6. Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to thetermination kit.
7. Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex and cut
off the excess flex so that the liners hang approximately 15” from the floor of the fireplace.
8. If the intake flex is not attached to the chimney
termination kit: See NOTICE on page 12.
A. It is now necessary to install a minimum of a 6
foot length of flex into the flue for the intake air.
B. A METAL damper block off plate must be
constructed and installed in the damper area tocompletely seal off the flue from the room.
Remember to cut holes for both the intake andexhaust liners in the block off plate.
C. A direct vent cap is still required to allow fresh
air into the chimney flue and ultimately into theintake flex and insert.
D. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to theback of the fireplace if appropriate.
9. Compress the liners so that they are hanging
above the height of the fireplace opening and areout of the way.
10. Position the insert without surround panels
half-way inside the fireplace and attach the liners
to the appropriate ports on the rear of the stove.
Be sure not to cross vent the insert.
11. Secure the liners to the ports using sheet metalscrews or hose clamps. No silicone or sealant isrequired.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCALCODE OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, MUSTCOMPLY WITH THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 OR
CAN-B149.
NOTE: INSTALL THE OPTIONAL BLOWER BEFOREPLUMBING THE GAS LINE TO THE VALVE.

• Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A
LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMANPLUMBER OR GAS-FITTER WHEN INSTALLED IN
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Shutoff Valve• Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page
23 of this manual or on the fireplace’s ratingplate.
• Brush or spray all joints and connections with thesoapy water solution.
• If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or agas odor is detected, immediately turn gas
control knob to the OFF position.
Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest
for any gas leaks.

All codes require a gas shutoff valve (gas cock)and union to be installed in the supply line and in
the same room as the appliance. This allows for the
disconnection of the fireplace for servicing andmaintenance. See Fig. 9.
A T-HANDLE GAS SHUTOFF VALVE IS REQUIREDIN MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH
CODE 248CMR.
The fireplace and gas control valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures inexcess of 1/2 psig. For pressures lower than 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply by closing the manual shutoff
valve.

Control Valve Connection
The gas supply line connection is made to theleft side of the valve. The gas supply line should be aminimum 3/8" diameter, or the appropriate size toprovide 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. In Canada,methods vary depending on local code. If local codes
permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installationand service. For those locales where flexible gaslines are not permitted, use the 3/8” iron fitting to
make the connection at the left side of the Control
Valve. See Figures 9 and 10.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (for propane units, be sure
to use compounds that are propane resistant). Turnon gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy
water solution. Never use an open flame to checkfor leaks.

Figure 9. Gas supply line fittings.

Gas Pressure
Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flowof gas to the appliance and is instrumental inchecking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on thefireplace is equipped with pressure test points forgauge connections. The gauge connections arelocated on the front of the valve under the On/Off/
Pilot knob. Gauge connections are identified by:• IN/E for inlet or supply pressure (the amount ofgas coming to the valve.)• OUT/A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas
that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)E

Logset AssemblyThis is the heart of your Jøtul GI 425 Camden
fireplace. Much time and effort has been devoted
to attaining a lively, realistic flame picture while
simultaneously achieving efficient fuel combustion and effective heat output under a variety of
installation conditions. The flame picture you
experience, however, will be affected by a numberof variables peculiar to your installation such as
venting configuration, environmental and weather
conditions, and fuel type. Log placement is criticalto the final flame picture. Pay particular attention
to placing the log pieces as illustrated here.
Carefully unpack and arrange the logs as outlined
below. CAUTION: The logs are fragile. Pleasehandle each piece with care.

Center Log

Right Log

Left Log

Rear Log

Use safety gloves to handle the log parts as
the ceramic fibers can irritate skin.

Ceramic Base

Figure 21. Logset Parts.
1. Place the Rear Log in position on Ceramic Basepegs as shown in fig. 22. The base is alreadyinstalled in the fireplace.
2. Set the Right, Left, and Center Logs on theappropriate pegs as shown in fig. 23.
3. Lightly scatter the Platinum Ember material(included in the Miscellaneous Hardware Bag)
over the forward area of the Logset Base. Placethem directly on top of the burner base andaround the log parts. With a little experimentation, you will find that they add an inviting,glowing ember effect after the burner has been
operating for a few minutes.
4. Replace the Glass Panel Frame: Engage the topof the frame with the three tabs at the top of
the firebox. Push the bottom of the frame
against the firebox face and pull the Frame
Latches out to engage them with the slots inthe bottom of the frame.

1. Layout the parts. Place the castings face down
on a protective surface such as carpeting,blankets or a sheet of cardboard.

1. Run the 10 ft. power cord out from the fireplace
to the nearest grounded power outlet.

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.
A three-prong (grounding) power supply plug is
included for protection against shock hazard andshould be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVETHE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.

5. If you will be installing the optional Wide
Surround Panels, use the instructions included
with that kit.
6. Attach the Assembly to the Firebox. Lift theentire assembly upright and position it in frontof the insert firebox. The four hanger tabs on thesurround legs must engage with the adjacentholes in the two brackets on either side of thefirebox opening. The surround will easily engage
with these brackets if the firebox is slightly
proud of the fireplace opening.
Hang the surround assembly on the firebox andpush the entire unit into position so that thesurround is flush against the fireplace face.

System Check
1. PURGING THE GAS LINE: When lighting theappliance for the first time it will take a few
moments to clear the gas line of air. Once thispurge is complete, the appliance will operate as
described in the lighting instructions located on
the fireplace’s rating plate and back cover of thismanual.
2. PILOT FLAME: The pilot flame should be steady,not lifting or floating. The flame should be bluein color around the pilot hood, with traces ofyellow toward the outer edges. It is imperativethat the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8” of thethermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8” ofthe quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame
should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all threeports. See Figure 48.
3. BURNER ADJUSTMENT: Your Jøtul GI425 gas
fireplace is equipped with a variable gas control
valve. This valve provides easy adjustment of theflame height appearance and heat output. To
adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting,rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the center ofthe valve face. Flame height will adjust approximately 1.0” to 1.5” between the HI and LO
settings.
NO SMOKE OR SOOT SHOULD BE PRESENT. CHECKLOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DETECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIRSHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME
APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GASVALVE IN ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER
THAN THE FULL “ON” POSITION.

Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
THE GI425 GAS FIREPLACE IS SHIPPED FROM THE
FACTORY EQUIPPED TO USE NATURAL GAS. IF THE
BURNER HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH
PROPANE, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE AIRSHUTTER ON THE BURNER TUBE TO ACHIEVE THE
PROPER GAS TO AIR MIX. See fig. 27.
WARNING:AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve thedesired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of individual preference, however a
warm yellowish flame is most common. See fig. 26.
Closing the air shutter - will generate very longyellow 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.
Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that isblue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This
flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.

any air shutter adjustment.

Variable Vent Restriction
Figure 26. Proper flame pattern.

Air Shutter Adjustment
1. Open the Lower Grill panel and locate the Air
Shutter adjustment stem extending down fromthe firebox floor. See fig. 27.
2. Loosen the wingnut and pull the stem to theforward to open the air inlet and allow more air
into the burner. Make adjustments in 1/8” (3mm) increments.
Allow the fireplace to burn 15 -20 minutes on the
HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously.
4. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, movethe shutter back further and repeat the processuntil the flame is as desired. Retighten thewingnut.

Air Shutter Stem

You may find it necessary to restrict the vent tosome degree to accommodate the characteristics ofyour individual installation. Generally, the taller thevent height, the more likely may be the need torestrict air intake to achieve the desired flame
picture and/or heat output. Vent restriction isaccomplished by a single panel that slides over the
combustion air intake port located at the right rearof the firebox. The Air Intake Restrictor Plate is set in
the fully open position at the factory. The panel canbe adjusted while the burner is operating.
1. Locate the adjustment stem (see fig. 28) andloosen the wingnut.
2. With the burner operating, move the stem to theright in 1/4” increments until the desired flame
picture or heat output is achieved. After eachadjustment, wait a few minutes to allow theburner to settle in to the new air flow before
making further adjustment.
3. When the desired result is achieved, retighten thewingnut.

Blower Function
The blower is controlled by a heat-activated switch(snapstat) that will ONLY function if the blower
control switch is in either the HI or LOW setting. The
blower will not operate until the sensor reaches
180°F. This will take 15-20 minutes in most installations.
Conversely, once the burner is off, the blower willcontinue to operate until the snapstat cools down to
140°F and shuts off power to the blower.
If the blower is not needed, place the blower
control switch in the OFF position and the snapstat
will not function.
CAUTION: Always unplug the Blower when
performing any routine service to the GI425 gas
fireplace.
