Clearance Requirements

The following clearances and hearth requirements are the minimum requirements when installing the

Camden gas insert into a solid fuel burning appliance. These dimensions are measured from the firebox cabinet to the combustible material. See figures 5 and 6.

A combustible surface is anything that can burn (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.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a 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 the appliance for the proper flow of ventilation air around the insert.

Masonry Fireplace Installation

When installing a GI425 DV Camden gas insert into a 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 termination cap.

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 full length 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 for easy identification. The liner must extend a mini-

mum of 6’ off the back of the unit and extend through the damper area of the fireplace into the tile liner of the chimney. This liner can also extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the termination cap.

IMPORTANT

If the intake flex does not extend the full length of 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 the fireplace.

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.

CANADA REQUIREMENT: Both the Intake and the Exhaust liners must extend the full length of the chimney and be securely connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

If the fireplace has been modified to accom-

modate installation, use anchors or masonry nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate supplied with this unit to the back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily seen should the insert be removed.

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.

2. Use tin snips to cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both the intake and exhaust.

3. Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chimney 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 the chimney flue with high temperature sealant.

6. Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the termination kit.

7. Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex liner pipe and cut off the excess so that the liners hang approximately 15” from the floor of the fireplace.

8. If the Air Intake pipe will not be attached to the chimney termination kit: (See NOTICE on page 10. )

a. It will be necessary to install a minimum length of 6 ft. flex pipe up into the flue.

b. A metal damper block off plate must be constructed and installed in the fireplace damper area to completely seal off the flue from the room. Cut holes in the plate for both the intake and exhaust flex pipes.

c. A direct vent cap is required to bring fresh air into the chimney flue and Air Intake flex pipe.

d. Compress the liners so that they are hanging out of the way above the fireplace opening.

e. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.

9. Position the insert without surround panels halfway inside the fireplace and attach the liners to the appropriate ports on the rear of the stove. Be sure not to cross vent these connections. Secure the liners to the ports using sheet metal screws or hose clamps. No silicone or sealant is required.

Prefabricated Fireplace Installation

A factory-built prefabricated fireplace will require a 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 most models 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 the damper area.

3. Remove any firescreen or door assembly. This is usually done by removing a support rod on the inside of the fireplace frame.

4. If there is a metal ashlip, it too should be removed to allow the unit to sit flat in the fireplace. 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 LICENSED

PLUMBER 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 ducts that run from the insert completely through the existing 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 exhaust gases to the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must be directly connected to the unit and run 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 a

minimum 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 the termination cap. See figure 10.

IMPORTANT:

If the intake flex does not extend the full length of the chimney and connect to the unit and the termination cap - THEN A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST

BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT

PRIOR 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 both the top and bottom ends of the flex. This ensures that 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.

A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule below.

Venting Installation Through a

Prefabricated 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.

2. Cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both the intake and exhaust.

3. Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chimney 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 the chimney pipe with high temperature sealant.

6. Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the termination 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 to completely seal off the flue from the room.

Remember to cut holes for both the intake and exhaust 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 the intake flex and insert.

D. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.

9. Compress the liners so that they are hanging above the height of the fireplace opening and are out 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 metal screws or hose clamps. No silicone or sealant is required.

Connecting the Gas Supply

Gas Supply Requirements

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL

CODE 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.

NOTE: INSTALL THE OPTIONAL BLOWER BEFORE

PLUMBING THE GAS LINE TO THE VALVE.

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A

LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMAN

PLUMBER OR GAS-FITTER WHEN INSTALLED IN

THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Shutoff Valve

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 and maintenance. See Fig. 9.

A T-HANDLE GAS SHUTOFF VALVE IS REQUIRED

IN 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 in excess 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 the left side of the valve. The gas supply line should be a minimum 3/8" diameter, 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. In Canada, methods vary depending on local code. If local codes permit, use flexible gas line for ease of installation and service. For those locales where flexible gas lines 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). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

Leak test:

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

• Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page

23 of this manual or on the fireplace’s rating plate.

• Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.

• If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected, immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.

Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.

Figure 9. Gas supply line fittings.

Gas Pressure

Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve on the fireplace is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. The gauge connections are located 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 of gas coming to the valve.)

• OUT/A for manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is coming out of the valve to the burner.)

E A

Figure 10. Pressure test point as located on the front of the valve.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing its individual manual gas shutoff valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Inlet Pressure

MIN MAX

Natural Gas: 5.0 WC (1.24 kPa) 7.0 WC (1.74 kPa)

Propane: 12.0 WC (2.98 kPa) 13.0 WC (3.23 kPa)

Manifold Pressure

MIN MAX

Natural Gas: 1.2 WC (0.29 kPa) 3.8 WC (.95 kPa)

Propane: 2.9 WC (0.72 kPa) 11.0 WC (2.74 kPa)

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH VALVE CONTROL KNOB

SET ON HIGH. Symptoms of incorrect gas pressure include:

Insufficient gas pressure:

• Small pilot flame which can result in insufficient millivolts.

• Little variation in flame picture between HI and

LO settings.

• Insufficient gas to support more than one appliance causing nuisance outages or gas surges.

Excessive gas pressure:

• Permanent damage to valve causing complete appliance shut down.

• Too large a pilot flame resulting in overheating of the power generator and consequent shut down.

• Sooting due to impingement and/or incorrect fuel to air mix.

High Altitude Adjustment

Installations located at altitudes from 2000 - 4250 ft.

(610 M - 1370 M), DONOT require adjustment. Do not derate this appliance for altitude.

Logset Assembly

This 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 number of variables peculiar to your installation such as venting configuration, environmental and weather conditions, and fuel type. Log placement is critical to 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. Please handle each piece with care.

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

Left Log

Center Log

Rear Log

Figure 21. Logset Parts.

Ceramic Base

1. Place the Rear Log in position on Ceramic Base pegs as shown in fig. 22. The base is already installed in the fireplace.

2. Set the Right, Left, and Center Logs on the appropriate 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. Place them directly on top of the burner base and around 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 top of 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 in the bottom of the frame.

Surround Assembly

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

2. Attach the Breastplates together using two M6 x 10 hex head flange bolts. Do not tighten. Use the hex key found in the Hardware Bag to adjust the set screw until a flush fit is attained, then tighten the bolts.

3. Attach the Leg panels to the Breastplates:

The Legs must be oriented with the Hanger Tabs on the inside edges as in the drawing above. Use two M6 x 12 hex head flange bolts to attach the

Legs to the Breastplate assembly.

4. Adjust plumb if necessary. Lift the surround assembly upright and check the plumb of the legs and breastplates. Look at the assembly from the side; the breastplates and legs should be aligned straight. If the assembly is bowed, loosen the attachment bolt enough to insert a shim as shown in the detail above, then retighten.

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 the entire assembly upright and position it in front of the insert firebox. The four hanger tabs on the surround legs must engage with the adjacent holes in the two brackets on either side of the firebox 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 and push the entire unit into position so that the surround is flush against the fireplace face.

Blower Installation

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

2. With the Speed Control in either the HI or LOW position, the fan will power on when the firebox comes up to operating temperature. (approximately 10 -20 minutes). See the Operation section for further details.

Blower Power Requirement

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 and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE

THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.

System Check

1. PURGING 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 complete, the appliance will operate as described in the lighting instructions located on the fireplace’s rating plate and back cover of this manual.

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. It is imperative that the pilot flame engulf the top 3/8” of the thermopile (power generator) and the top 1/8” of the quick drop out thermocouple. The pilot flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” at all three ports. 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 the flame height appearance and heat output. To adjust the flame between the HI and LO setting, rotate the HI/LO knob, located in the center of the 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. CHECK

LOG PLACEMENT IF ANY SOOT OR SMOKE IS DE-

TECTED. IF SOOT OR SMOKE PERSISTS, THE AIR

SHUTTER MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

CAUTION:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME

APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GAS

VALVE 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 AIR

SHUTTER 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 PROFES-

SIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

The air shutter adjustment can also help achieve the desired 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 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.

Opening the air shutter - will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame. This flame is generally more efficient but not as pretty.

IMPORTANT: Run the fireplace for a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes to produce an accurate representation of the flame appearance. This warm-up should be done before and between any air shutter adjustment.

Figure 26. Proper flame pattern.

Air Shutter Adjustment

1. Open the Lower Grill panel and locate the Air

Shutter adjustment stem extending down from the firebox floor. See fig. 27.

2. Loosen the wingnut and pull the stem to the forward to open the air inlet and allow more air into the burner. Make adjustments in 1/8” (3 mm) 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, move the shutter back further and repeat the process until the flame is as desired. Retighten the wingnut.

Variable Vent Restriction

You may find it necessary to restrict the vent to some degree to accommodate the characteristics of your individual installation. Generally, the taller the vent height, the more likely may be the need to restrict air intake to achieve the desired flame picture and/or heat output. Vent restriction is accomplished by a single panel that slides over the combustion air intake port located at the right rear of the firebox. The Air Intake Restrictor Plate is set in the fully open position at the factory. The panel can be adjusted while the burner is operating.

1. Locate the adjustment stem (see fig. 28) and loosen the wingnut.

2. With the burner operating, move the stem to the right in 1/4” increments until the desired flame picture or heat output is achieved. After each adjustment, wait a few minutes to allow the burner to settle in to the new air flow before making further adjustment.

3. When the desired result is achieved, retighten the wingnut.

Operation

1. Your GI425 gas fireplace can be operated manually using the On/Off/T-stat rocker switch or it can be automatically controlled using an optional wall-mounted thermostat and/or remote control device. A separate switch is provided for the optional forced air blower kit.

Familiarize yourself with the location and function of the controls. See figs. 29 and 30.

Gas Control - Used to control the Pilot light and gas flow from the supply line.

Regulator - Allows you to adjust heat output and flame intensity.

Piezo Ignitor - Push button pilot light ignition.

ON/OFF/ T’STAT Switch - Allows for manual or thermostatic control of the burner.

Pilot Assembly

Figure 29. The pilot assembly is centered under the log set, toward the rear.

Always follow the Lighting Instructions located on the inside Back Cover of this manual.

2. For the first several hours of operation, it is common that you will 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.

3. Condensation may develop on the glass upon each lighting of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as the glass heats.

4. Keep the controls and the area under the appliance free of debris; vacuum this area frequently.

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.

When a vacuum is used on any service for the fireplace, ALWAYS be sure the fireplace is completely cold.

5. Remember, your fireplace utilizes a continuously burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when using household products containing combustible vapors.

6. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE

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 will continue 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.

Maintenance

Your Jøtul GI425 Camden gas fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service technician.

IMPORTANT:

ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO

THE FIREPLACE AND UNPLUG THE

FORCED AIR BLOWER BEFORE ANY SER-

VICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE FIRE-

PLACE.

Annual Cleaning

Vent System

The entire vent system, including the chimney, should be inspected and cleaned every year. If the intake and exhaust venting is disassembled for any reason, it should be reassembled and sealed according to the manufacturer’s instructions provided at the initial installation.

Burner and Logset

Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment,

Blower Assembly and Convection Airways to BE

CERTAIN THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION AIR IS UNOBSTRUCTED.

The firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment and handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly, burner orifice and burner tube.

Glass Care

Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe the surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft towel. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

WARNING:

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON

THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS

WHEN IT IS HOT.

Gasket Inspection

It is important that the glass gasket be inspected at least annually. Examine the ribbon gasket for signs of deterioration and make sure the gasket has a positive seal. Replace the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement parts list on page 29.

Glass Panel or Gasket Removal

1. Open the Lower Grill Panel and release the glass frame latches at either side of the bottom of the firebox.

2. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift to disengage it from the three retainer tabs at the top of the firebox. Lay the assembly on a flat surface, protecting the frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.

3. The glass panel is held in place by four compression clips. Use a screwdriver to pry these up off the edge of the glass retaining walls. See fig. 31.

4. Remove the old gasket material. See fig. 32.

Retainer Clips

Figure 31. Glass Retainer Clip locations.

Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement

1. Wrap the new gasketing material evenly around the edge of the glass, peeling back the protective strip to expose the adhesive as you go. Press the adhesive side down onto the glass surface. Do not stretch the gasket.

2. Place the gasketed glass within the frame and press each of the retainer clips back into place on the retainer walls.
