Clearance Requirements
Covering the Fireplace Opening
The following clearances and hearth requirements
are the minimum requirements when installing the
Camden gas insert into a solid fuel burning appli-
ance. 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.
Two cast iron surround styles are available for the
GI 425 Camden fireplace insert.
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 are
40”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
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of
a material, consult your local fire officials. Remem-
ber,“Fire Resistant” materials are considered
combustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will
burn. Also,“fire-rated” sheet rock is considered
combustible.
Optional Wide Surround
#155323 - Matte Black
#155324 - Blue Black.
#155354 - Jøtul Iron
Always maintain the proper clearances to the
appliance for the proper flow of ventilation air
around the insert.
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.
Figure 5. Clearance to Adjacent Combustible
Material - measured from the fireplace centerline or

Vent Guidelines
Masonry Fireplace Installation
• All vent components must be installed in accor-
dance with the listing terms and manufacturer’s
instructions.
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.
• 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 a
general guide, follow the Gas Vent Rule on page
12.
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.
• HORIZONTAL RUNS ARE NOT PERMITTED ANY-
WHERE IN THE VENTING SYSTEM.
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.
• Venting liners used on this appliance may not be
less than 3” in diameter or greater than 3” in
diameter.
• Any unused flue or masonry enclosure can be used
as a passageway for venting provided the flue is
relined using 3” Listed flexible gas liner.
• The remaining space around the liner in a ma-
sonry or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to
vent any other appliance.
IMPORTANT
• Flexible liner components may not be exposed in
any living space.
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.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clear-
ance requirements will void all warranties and
could result in property damage, bodily injury, or
serious fire.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.
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.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST BE
VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILD-
ING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY
SERVING A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING APPLI-
ANCE.
• Variable Vent Restriction: See the System Check
section on pages 22-23 for specific instructions.
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 termina-
tion kit.
If the fireplace has been modified to accom-
modate installation, use anchors or masonry
nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conver-
sion 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.

Prefabricated Fireplace Installation
A factory-built prefabricated fireplace will require
a few modifications before installation of the
Jøtul GI425 Camden fireplace insert.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
If the intake flex does not extend the full length of
the chimney and connect to the unit and the termi-
nation 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).
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.
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.
IMPORTANT:
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.
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

Connecting the Gas Supply
Gas Supply Requirements
Leak test:
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.
• 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.
NOTE: INSTALL THE OPTIONAL BLOWER BEFORE
PLUMBING THE GAS LINE TO THE VALVE.
• Brush or spray all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A
LICENSED MASTER OR JOURNEYMAN
PLUMBER OR GAS-FITTER WHEN INSTALLED IN
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
• 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.
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.
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:
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 regard-
less 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.
• 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.)
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.

Logset Assembly
Center Log
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 combus-
tion 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.
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 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 experimenta-
tion, 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.

comes up to operating temperature. (approxi-
mately 10 -20 minutes). See the Operation section
for further details.
2. Attach the Breastplates together using two M6

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.
Blower Power Requirement
The blower must be electrically grounded in accor-
dance 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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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 appear-
ance 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.
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 approxi-
mately 1.0” to 1.5” between the HI and LO
settings.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in
the flames and lack of combustion air entering
the air shutter opening.
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.
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.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE FLAME
APPEARANCE BY POSITIONING THE GAS
VALVE IN ANY OTHER POSITION OTHER
THAN THE FULL “ON” POSITION.

Propane - 1/2” open
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
3. When the desired result is achieved, retighten the
wingnut.

Operation
1. Your GI425 gas fireplace can be operated manu-
ally 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.
Pilot Assembly
Familiarize yourself with the location and func-
tion 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.
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 appli-
ance 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 com-
pletely cold.

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 installa-
tions.
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
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.
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:
WARNING:
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.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON
THE GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS
WHEN IT IS HOT.
Gasket Inspection
Annual Cleaning
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.
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 accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions provided at
the initial installation.
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.
Burner and Logset
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.
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.
3. The glass panel is held in place by four compres-
sion 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.

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.
