venting is disassembled for any reason, it should
be reassembled and sealed according to the vent
manufacturer’s instructions provided at the initial
installation.
Burner and Log Set

CORROSION AND REPLACE ANY AFFECTED PARTS.
The firebox should be vacuumed at least annually
to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush

Glass Panel or Gasket Replacement
1. Use the 4 mm hex key to remove the four socket screws
that attach the Glass Frame to the firebox.
Remove the lower screws first and be sure to adequately
support the frame against the firebox while you remove
the upper screws.
2. Lay the assembly upside down on a flat surface, protecting
the frame from scratches using a blanket or towel.
3. The glass panel is held in place by four retainer tabs. Use
a screwdriver to carefully pry these up off the edge of
the glass retaining walls. If the tabs break off, use the
Tinnerman clips supplied with the replacement glass kit to
secure the glass panel within the frame.
4. Remove the old gasket material.
5. Beginning at the midpoint of the upper edge, apply the
new gasket around the glass panel, with the adhesive
side inside and the thicker portion on the outside. DO
NOT STRETCH THE GASKET MATERIAL. Trim off any excess,
leaving a 1/2” overlap as shown in fig. 60.
6. Lay the glass panel within the glass frame and press the tabs
back down or press the clips in place as shown in fig. 61.
StarFire Glass Embers
NOTE: Glass embers may discolor over time, depending upon
frequency of use. Clean the embers by washing in warm, soapy
water, and dry thoroughly before reinstallation and use. After
washing, discard any permanently hazed pieces, or replace
embers annually. Colored glass embers, not supplied by Jøtul,
maybe used, but must be at least 1/2” and similar in size and
shape.
