Running Your Stove

Jotul stoves are very easy to use. There is a switch with the words "on/off/stat" on it. When in the middle position, the burner is off.  To turn on, simply set a finger on the word "on" and press. If using a remote or thermostat, the switch should be set to the "stat" position.  On the valve, there is a knob with the words "high-low" on it. To adjust the flame/heat output down or, simply turn this knob.

Remotes and Thermostats

Thermostats and remotes are another way to turn the burner off and on.   These items should always be connected to the terminal block and not directly to the valve.  Reference the owner's manual for full instructions. As with all parts of the installation of your hearth product, it is recommended to rely on the expertise of a hearth professional for the installation of remotes and thermostats.  To speak to hearth professional today or to schedule an appointment please phone 406-755-2497.

Blowers

Depending on the Jotul product, blowers come standard or may be added to Jotul gas products.  Blowers bolster the volume of air circulating through the heat exchange. Please note a blower requires electricity and you may need an electrician to complete your installation. One very Please note blowers do make noise while running.

Maintenance

Although maintenance to a correctly installed and operating gas hearth product is nominal, there are a few things that should be done.

1. Before and shortly after the first fire, the glass should be cleaned. Anderson’s Masonry Hearth and Home can recommend a glass cleaner that will not harm your glass.
   
2. Clean your glass at least once every three months during the burning season.
   
3. Have the unit inspected every year by a hearth professional.
   
4. At least annually vacuum blowers and surrounding area.
