Initial Break-in and Operation Sound

It is normal for smoke and odor to occur during the initial stages of operation, depending upon temperatures generated over time. This "curing" condition can be alleviated by promoting fresh air circulation within the immediate vicinity of the appliance.

Cast iron and steel components expand and contract with temperature fluctuations that are often accompanied by "creaking" or "pinging" sounds. This is the result of natural thermal activity. The optional blower fan will also generate a slight hum at the low setting and progressively increase with the velocity of forced air.

Gas Vent Rule

⭐ **IMPORTANT NOTICE:** THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIR INTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI Z21.88-1999-CSA 2.33-M99 TEST METHODS AND RESULTING ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION. THE CODE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION MUST BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THIS INSTALLATION METHOD.

Vent Installation Procedure (Masonry Fireplaces)

1. Measure chimney height. Determine if both intake and exhaust liners will extend to the top. In Canada, both liners must extend the full length and connect to the unit and termination kit.
2. Cut appropriate lengths of flex duct for intake and exhaust. Label both ends of the Exhaust duct.
3. Follow manufacturer's instructions to attach duct ends to the chimney termination kit.
4. Drop liners down the chimney 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, trim excess flex so ends hang approximately 15" from the floor.
8. If the Intake duct is not attached to the chimney termination kit: Install a length of flex duct extending at least into the first flue tile. The fireplace chimney flue must be permanently sealed-off from the room. A direct vent cap is required to allow fresh air into the chimney flue and intake duct.
9. Compress ducts above the fireplace opening and out of the way.
10. Position the insert halfway inside the fireplace and attach the labeled Exhaust duct to the Exhaust collar (right side facing front). Attach the Intake duct to the Intake collar (left side facing front).
11. Secure ducts to collars with sheet metal screws or hose clamps. No silicone or sealant is required.
12. Once the gas line is installed, carefully push the unit inside the fireplace.

⭐ **IMPORTANT NOTICE:** INSTALLATION OF A HIGH-WIND TERMINATION CAP IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL IPI APPLIANCES. IF USING SIMPSON DURA-VENT, AN ADDITIONAL WIND SCREEN #46DVA-VWG IS ALSO RECOMMENDED.

Prefabricated Fireplace Installation

⭐ **IMPORTANT:** BEFORE STARTING, ENSURE A GAS LINE CAN BE INSTALLED OR IS INSTALLED TO THE FIREBOX BY A QUALIFIED PLUMBER OR GAS FITTER. A factory-built fireplace will require modification prior to installation of the insert.

Modification

1. Remove any fuel grate and other components. Do not cut sheet metal parts of the fireplace where the insert will be installed. If no gas access hole exists, a 1 1/2" (37.5 mm) or less hole may be drilled in the lower sides or bottom, sealed with non-combustible insulation after gas installation.
2. Remove the damper assembly (blade, handle, linkage). Two 3" liners must pass through the damper area.
3. Remove any firescreen or door assembly, usually by removing a support rod.
4. Remove the metal ashlip, if appropriate, to allow the insert to sit flat. 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 length of the chimney and connect to the unit and termination cap, a METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT BELOW THE END OF THE INTAKE DUCT (normally at the damper area). See Figure 9.

To avoid cross venting, label the duct for exhaust at both top and bottom ends.

⭐ **CANADA NOTE:** Both Intake and Exhaust ducts must extend the full length of the chimney and be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.

Prefabricated Fireplace Vent Procedure

1. Measure chimney height. Determine if both intake and exhaust will extend to the top.
2. Cut appropriate lengths of flex for intake and exhaust.
3. If the intake flex will be attached to the chimney termination kit: Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chimney termination kit.
4. Drop liners down the chimney 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, trim excess flex so liners hang approximately 15" from the floor.
8. If the intake flex is NOT attached to the chimney termination kit: Install a minimum 6 foot length of flex pipe into the flue for intake air. A METAL damper block off plate must be constructed and installed in the damper area to completely seal off the flue from the room. Cut holes for both intake and exhaust liners in the block off plate. A direct vent cap is still required to allow fresh air into the chimney flue and ultimately into the intake flex and insert. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back of the fireplace if appropriate.
9. Surround panels must not block or seal any ventilation openings on the prefabricated fireplace.

2. Level and Plumb the Cabinet: With the fireplace cabinet in its final position, confirm it is level and plumb. Adjust leg levelers at each corner. The leg levelers can be adjusted up to 1/2". If a greater height increase is required, the brackets can be lowered in 1/2" increments to raise the cabinet up to 2 1/2".

Gas Supply Connection

The gas supply line connects to the valve on the left side of the unit (facing front). The gas supply line should be a minimum of 3/8" in diameter, or appropriately sized to provide sufficient gas pressure to the valve. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the connection.

The GI 450 DV II is shipped with a 3/8" cast iron nipple and a 24" flexible gas line. Jøtul recommends the flexible gas line for ease of installation and service. For areas where flexible gas lines are not permitted, use the 3/8" iron nipple.

The use of Flexible Gas Appliance Connectors is acceptable in many U.S. areas; Canadian methods vary by local code.

ALL INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODE OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODE, 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) and union in the supply line, in the same room as the appliance, for disconnection during servicing.

Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools and sealing compounds. Propane fuel requires propane-resistant compounds.

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a soapy water solution or electronic gas sensor. Never use an open flame to check for leaks. Tighten or reconnect any leaking joints and retest.

⭐ **INSTALLATION OF A T-HANDLE GAS COCK IS REQUIRED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE 248CMR.

Gas Pressures

Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe operation. Proper gas pressure provides a consistent flow of gas and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks. The gas control valve is equipped with pressure test points (Inlet/In for supply pressure, Outlet/A for manifold pressure) on the front of the valve (See Figure 12).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing its manual gas shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that exceeds 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

ALWAYS TEST PRESSURE WITH THE VALVE REGULATOR ADJUSTED TO THE HIGHEST SETTING.

Symptoms of Incorrect Gas Pressure

• Insufficient gas pressure: Small pilot flame, poor pilot rectification, frequent burner outages, little variation between HI/LO flame settings, insufficient gas for multiple appliances.
• Excessive gas pressure: Permanent damage to valve, too large pilot flame causing overheating of flame sensor, sooting due to impingement or incorrect fuel/air mix.

⚠️ **WARNING:** DO NOT ALLOW THE INLET GAS PRESSURE TO EXCEED 14.0" WC (OR 1/2 PSIG) AS SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VALVE MAY RESULT.

Leak Test

1. Mix a 50-50 solution of water and dish soap.
2. Light appliance (see lighting instructions).
3. Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.
4. If bubbles appear 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.

12. Pressure Test: Conduct a pressure test of the valve following the guidelines on page 14.

High Altitude Adjustment

When installing this appliance at altitudes above 2000 feet, it is necessary to compensate for the thinner air. Higher altitudes affect atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous fuels, requiring different orifices for efficient combustion.

⭐ **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 SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DE-RATING.

⭐ **IN CANADA:** This 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 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN1-B149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.

High Altitude Installations

For installations between 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (610 m - 1370 m), consult the local gas distributor or authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert the unit, the information label must be completed and applied to the appliance (See Figure 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 the burner tube. See the Flame Picture / Air Shutter Adjustment section for more details.

Flame Picture / Air Shutter Adjustment

This appliance is shipped from the factory for Natural Gas. If converting to Propane, it is necessary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube for the proper gas to air mix (See Figure 16).

Air shutter adjustments can also achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, but most people enjoy a warm, yellowish flame.

• Closing the Air Shutter: Insufficient combustion air results in very long yellow flames that can promote soot. Sooting produces black deposits on logs, appliance walls, and potentially the exterior termination cap. Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion and lack of combustion air.
• Opening the air shutter: Generates a flame that is blue and transparent, or an "anemic" flame. This flame is generally more efficient but less 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 for an accurate representation of the flame appearance before making adjustments.

To adjust the air shutter:

1. Loosen the air shutter stem wing nut located under the firebox (See Figure 19).
2. Sliding the stem to the right opens the shutter and increases the air/fuel ratio. Sliding it to the left restricts airflow and decreases the air/fuel ratio.
3. Allow the insert to burn for 30 minutes on the HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously. Make further adjustments in 1/8" increments and let the flame settle before making subsequent adjustments.
4. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process until the flame is as desired.

Install Optional Brick Panels

Tools Required: 1/4" socket driver, 10 mm socket wrench.

⚠️ **CAUTION!** THE PANELS ARE EXTREMELY FRAGILE. HANDLE GENTLY, AVOIDING DAMAGE TO EDGES FROM CONTACT WITH OTHER PARTS.

1. Remove the two cast iron side panels from the firebox. Use a 10 mm socket wrench to remove retainer brackets at the rear corner of each panel. YOU MUST REPLACE THE M6 BOLTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS. (See Figure 20).
2. Use the 10 mm socket wrench to remove the two Grate assembly M6 flange head hex nuts located behind the grate crossbar. Remove the Grate assembly and set aside (Figs. 21 - 22).
3. Remove the burner tube by lifting it slightly and sliding it to the right to disengage it from the air shutter.
4. Set the Floor panels into place in the firebox, being careful to avoid chipping the edges (See Figure 23).
5. Place the Brick panels into position in the numerical order indicated in Figure 24.
6. Replace the Grate assembly and secure it with the nuts previously removed.
7. Replace the burner tube. Correctly installed, it will be level, with the lower half engaged within the air shutter, and the upper half seated behind the air deflector (See Figs. 25 and 26).

Install the Log Set

⭐ **NOTE:** Install the optional Brick Panels before installing the Log Set. The Katahdin is equipped with a seven-piece log set packaged separately.

1. Unwrap each log and set on floor near unit. Check for damage.
2. Install the Rear Base Log on pegs on the rear skirt (Fig. 27).
3. Install the Front Base Log on its pegs (Fig. 28).
4. Install the Front Left Log (Fig. 29).
5. Install the Front Right Log (Fig. 30).
6. Install the Upper Right Log and Upper Left Logs on the associated pegs in the Rear Base Log (Figs. 31 - 32).
7. Install the Upper Center Log on its peg (Fig. 33).
8. Spread the Ember Stones evenly across the burner tube screen. It is best to equally space these embers for optimum flame appearance. ⭐ **NOTE:** YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE ALL OF THE EMBER STONES. You may also wish to spread some ember stones across the front of the ceramic base panel.
9. Use tweezers to pinch small tufts of Rock Wool over the ember stones to produce an enhanced glowing effect.

Wall Thermostat

Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat. The thermostat should be placed in the same room as the heater, typically 5' off the floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may affect the accuracy of the thermostat.

The thermostat should be connected to the burner switch terminal block using a minimum 16 gauge wire having a maximum length of 35 feet. Remove the Burner Controls face plate by removing the two #8 hex head screws. Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the two open terminals on the terminal block located on the back of the face plate between the two switches. Do not overtighten the connections (See Figure 34).

At the thermostat, the two wires should be connected to the two connection screws on the thermostat base plate according to the manufacturer's instructions. For the thermostat to function, the ON/OFF/T-STAT switch must be in the T-STAT position. The thermostat will then control the burner function with the Pilot switched to either IPI or CPI modes.

Remote Control #224910

The optional Jøtul Remote Control can be used with the GI 450 DV II, however, the receiver must be installed outside of the unit. If there is no room within the fireplace, consider installing the receiver in a nearby wall. Use 200°C, 18 ga. wire for extension, if needed. Keep all wiring from direct contact with the insert firebox bottom.

Remove the burner control face plate and connect the remote receiver leads to the two open terminals shown in Figure 34.

Surround Panel Installation

Cast Iron Grill Assembly

Attach the upper and lower grill halves together using the pre-installed M6 x 12 mm bolts and washers (Figure 35).

Install the grill assemblies onto the fireplace using M5 x 10 mm hex cap bolts (Figure 36).

Riser Bar Attachment

If the riser bar is to be used, the insert must be lifted 2" off the floor of the fireplace to allow the riser bar to fill the space below the bottom grill assembly (See Figure 37). Install the leveling legs to achieve the appropriate height.

⭐ **NOTE:** THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE CAST IRON SURROUND AND RISER BAR MAY CAUSE THE UNIT TO BECOME TOP-HEAVY. IN THAT CASE, INSTALL THE STABILIZER BAR THAT IS SUPPLIED WITH THE FIREPLACE. THE STABILIZER BAR ATTACHES TO THE TOP OF THE FIREBOX AND WILL BRACE THE UNIT AGAINST THE FIREPLACE LINTEL TO PREVENT THE UNIT FROM LEANING FORWARD (See Figures 37 and 38).

Surround Panel Installation

All Surround Panel fasteners are pre-installed. Use a 10 mm wrench to attach the panels.

• RISER BAR: The 2" riser bar is used with the standard cast iron surround and is needed if the fireplace opening is between 27 1/2" and 29 1/2" high. It can be used in any installation if desired. (See Figure 37).

Secure the two sections of the riser bar together with a washer and bolt and bolt the assembled riser bar to the surround legs (Figure 43).

2. Lay the four surround panels on the floor backside up. Using two bolts and washers, attach the right and left upper sections (breastplates) together (See Figure 39).
3. Attach the left and right leg sections to the breastplate assembly using a bolt and washer on each side (See Figure 40).
4. Four mounting tabs are attached to the back of the surround panels at the factory. Ensure all four tabs are in place and secure (See Figure 41).
5. Stand the assembled surround up and gently lift to the unit. Align the mounting holes on the sides of the insert with the mounting tabs on the surround (See Figure 42).
6. Slide the surround assembly down into the mounting holes. Ensure all four mounting tabs engage securely with the adjacent bracket holes (See Figure 43).

⭐ **Note:** The riser bar is not used for support of the insert. If more space is needed for the riser bar, raise the unit using the leveling legs (See Figure 37).

8. Carefully push the unit and surround assembly back into the fireplace. This is best done by pushing the front outside edges of the glass frame. Ensure the gas line and blower cord are not pinched.
9. Install the Safety Screen Barrier. Simply hang the barrier assembly by engaging its hooked brackets with the slots used by the surround panels (See Figures 42 and 43).

See Appendix B, page 33, for Simple Surround and Wide Surround assembly instructions.

Fireplace Operation

Burner Controls

• Burner functions may be manually controlled by placing the burner switch in the ON/OFF position.
• The CPI mode allows manual control of the burner. The pilot will burn continuously for up to seven days before extinguishing and automatically switching to IPI functionality.
• The TSTAT position permits automatic control through use of an optional wall thermostat or remote control device (Figure 44).

Pilot Modes

• Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI): This 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 a power failure.
• Continuous Pilot Ignition (CPI): This permits the pilot to continue burning even when there is no call for heat. This feature allows the burner to function properly under a variety of adverse conditions, such as difficult draft conditions. For example, it can be difficult to establish positive draft through a very long vent system, particularly in moderate weather. In such cases, the entire system will benefit from the heat generated by a continuous pilot flame. ⭐ **NOTE:** In CPI mode, the pilot will automatically extinguish after seven days if there is no call for heat during that period. The pilot will relight at the next call for heat. Exercise caution when operating with a continuous pilot. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS HAVING COMBUSTIBLE VAPORS AROUND THE OPERATING FIREPLACE.

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. CHECK LOG 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 is equipped with a 125 cfm heat-activated blower. The power cord should be connected to the nearest 120V house current outlet. The cord has 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 functions only if the blower control switch is in the Automatic ( ♨️ ) setting. Once the firebox heats after the burner has been operating for a short time, the blower will power on regardless of speed control setting. In Automatic ( ♨️ ) mode, the blower will continue to operate after the burner is turned off, until the snapstat cools. (See Figure 48).

In the manual power ON ( ⚡ ) position, the blower will function regardless of the temperature of the fireplace. If blower operation is not desired, place the control switch in the OFF ( ? ) position to bypass the snapstat function.

Accent Lamps

Twin accent lamps are controlled by the switch and dimmer 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 WHEN SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE. LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

System Check

• Initial System Purge: When lighting the appliance for the first time, or after a long period of disuse, 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.
• 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 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" from both ports (See Figure 28, page 26).
• When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit an odor for an hour or two. This odor is the result of burnoff of manufacturing by-products. 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 the appliance temperature increases.
• 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. 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.

Maintenance

This 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 the environment.
• 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.

Firebox Components

Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment, Convection Airways and optional Blower 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.
• Inspect the pilot head, thermopile and thermocouple for signs of rust or deterioration and replace any components that do. Check that the pilot head is properly engaged with the throat and is oriented correctly (See Figure 46, page 26).
• Inspect the burner and confirm that all the ports are unobstructed, particularly at the pilot area. Vacuum the burner plate if necessary.

Accent Lamp Replacement

1. Remove the cast iron Upper Grill.
2. Remove the lamp shade and bulb receptacle (three screws) (See Figure 54, pg. 31). Replace with 222943 130V, 50W light bulb.
3. Handle the new bulb with gloves. Skin oils will cause the bulb to fail prematurely. If you touch the bulb with your bare skin, wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
4. Replace components previously removed.

Battery Replacement

• DISCONNECT THE FIREPLACE FROM POWER.
• Loosen the battery box wing nut and pull the box out of the insert. Replace with four AA batteries, noting polarity indicated on the holder.

Glass Care

Moisture condensation is a normal occurrence with gas appliances and particulate accumulation may appear on the inside surface of the glass. Use a dampened, soft cloth to clean the glass and polish with a dry, soft towel. Specially-formulated ceramic glass cleaner may also be used. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR AMMONIA BASED CLEANING SOLUTIONS. TAKE CARE NOT TO SCRATCH THE GLASS SURFACE.

⭐ **NOTE:** INSPECT THE GLASS SURFACE FOR SCRATCHES AS THESE CAN WEAKEN THE PANEL TENSILE STRENGTH. REPLACE THE PANEL IF ANY SCRATCHES ARE FOUND. USE ONLY JØTUL PN 129124. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF GLASS. REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

⚠️ **WARNING:** OBSERVE CAUTION NEAR THE GLASS. THE GLASS PANEL MAY SHATTER IF STRUCK WITH AN OBJECT. ALWAYS HANDLE THE GLASS PANEL WITH CARE.

Glass Replacement

To remove the glass panel or glass gasket:

1. Open the Controls Panel. Loosen battery box wing nut and push the box out of the way of the latch mechanism (See Figure 13, pg. 16).
2. Use the Latch Tool to release the glass clips on either side of the bottom of the firebox.
3. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift up to disengage it from the firebox.
4. Lay the assembly on a flat surface and use a flat blade screwdriver or pliers to pry up the two steel tabs that secure the glass panel to the frame.
5. Install the new glass panel and gasket in the glass frame and secure with the steel tabs. Do not over tighten the tabs as that could break the glass.

Always replace any damaged or broken parts with JØTUL PARTS ONLY. These are available through your Authorized Jøtul dealer. Never substitute any other parts.

With proper care and maintenance, your appliance will provide you with years of enjoyment. If you experience any problem with your Jøtul GI 450 DV II Katahdin gas insert, contact your Jøtul Authorized Dealer for assistance.
