checking the inlet pressure.  
‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in which  
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter  
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the  
same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air  
to support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas  
appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through  
the side of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional  
venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for com-  
bustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the  
atmosphere.  
Verify proper operation after servicing.

Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY  
Vent Termination Clearances  
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’  
(2.44 m) and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the appli-  
ance flue collar. A 2¹⁄₄" restrictor plate (supplied) must  
be used, where specified, in all vertically terminated  
vent systems. (Refer to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor  
plate supplied with the vertical termination should  
be discarded. Install restrictor plate supplied with  
stove directly at stove outlet. A vertically terminated  
vent system must also conform to the following criteria:  
When planning the installation, consider the location  
of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most  
common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 9.  
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.  
Check your vent termination clearances against  
Figures 9 and 10.  
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be  
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when  
the stove is operating.  
No more than two 90° elbows may be used.  
Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90˚  
elbow. No more than six elbows may be used.  
The vent termination should be located where it cannot  
be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn  
mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away  
from areas where it could become blocked by snow,  
etc.  
Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is  
used.  
Termination height must conform to roof clearance  
as specified in Figure 9.  
Some considerations are:  
Obstructions or impediments to venting.  
Nearby combustible materials that could come into  
contact with combustion exhaust gases.

Vent Termination Clearances  
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the  
side wall, or vertical through the roof.  
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,  
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within  
24” from the front of the termination hood.  
CFM Corporation does not require any opening  
for inspection of vent pipe.  
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow  
or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termi-  
nation area after snow falls, and clear to prevent ac-  
cidental blockage of venting system. When using snow  
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent  
termination area.  
Only CFM Corporation and Simpson DuraVent  
venting components specifically approved and  
labelled for this stove may be used.  
Minimum clearances between vent pipes and  
combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25 mm),  
except where stated otherwise.  
Location of Vent Termination  
It is imperative the vent termination be located observ-  
ing the minimum clearances as shown in Figure 9.  
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or  
siding.  
Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane  
without an inclining or declining slope.

Assembly Procedures  
NOTE: Verify the two relief doors (located on top of  
the firebox) are properly seated on the gasket. The  
doors should sit flush on the gasket and should lift  
easily from the seal around the opening.  
WARNING  
Failure to position the parts in accor-  
dance with these diagrams or failure to  
use only parts specifically approved for  
use with this heater may result in property dam-  
age or personal injury.  
Install the Optional Fan  
WARNING  
This heater and components are heavy. Have  
help available for assembly.  
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong  
(grounded) plug for your 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 this plug.  
Tools Required  
• Phillips screwdriver (stub)  
• utility knife  
• power drill  
• reciprocating saw  
If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit  
#2960 (FK28), continue here. If you will not install the  
Fan Kit, go to Page 15, Venting System Assembly.  
• metal drill bit: size 28 (.140”/3.5mm)  
Unpack the Stove  
1. The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a  
rheostat assembly connected by a cable. (Fig. 14)  
The blower assembly and the rheostat mount to the  
rear shroud of the stove. The assembly includes a  
‘snapstat’ which automatically turns the fan ON (or  
OFF) above (or below) approximately 109° F (43°  
C). The rheostat also provides a range of fan speed  
settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat  
function) to HIGH. Unpack and inspect the blower  
assembly. Confirm that the fan spins freely.  
The parts bag containing this manual also includes the  
following parts:  
• Remote Switch  
• Switch Wire  
• Cement  
• Switch Bracket  
• 1/4-20 x 3/8” screws (3)  
• Restrictor Plate  
• #10 Sheet metal screws (2)  
The logset and 4” inner vent starter pipe are packed in-  
side the firebox. Use the following procedure to unpack  
these parts.  
2. Attach the snapstat assembly to the snapstat brack-  
et with two (2) sheet metal screws. (Fig. 13) Remove  
the 1/4-20 x 3/8” hex head bolt installed in the hole  
in the right rear ledge of the firebox. Use that bolt  
to secure the snapstat bracket to the firebox. The  
mounting hole is slotted to allow you to adjust the  
bracket so the snapstat bracket head makes contact  
with the firebox. (Fig. 13)  
1. Lift the stove front up and then swing the bottom out  
and away to disengage it from the stove body. Refer  
to Figure 37, Page 23.

sections usually do not need to be fastened at each  
joint, other than slip sections. If the layout includes  
a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe  
visible in the room, at the ceiling. Complete the venting  
according to the vent maker’s instructions.  
NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove  
is not used for Natural Vent applications.  
The Jefferson stove, when installed as a Natural vent  
heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Page 32, Fig. 63)  
Operating the stove when it is not connected to a  
properly installed and maintained venting system, or  
tampering with or disconnecting the vent safety switch,  
can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and  
possible death.  
For U.S. installations: The venting system must  
conform with local codes and/or the current National  
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z22.1.  
For Canadian installations: The venting system must  
conform to the current CSA B149.1 installation code.

Air Shutter Adjustment  
The Jefferson Heater and its individual shutoff  
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply  
piping during any pressure testing of that system  
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  
The Jefferson is shipped from the factory with the air  
shutter adjusted to the minimum allowed opening. Refer  
to Table 1. Based on the altitude where the stove is  
located, a shutter adjustment is acceptable to provide  
mixed balance of flame color/glow. To adjust the shutter  
opening, follow the steps below.  
The Jefferson Heater must be isolated from the  
gas supply piping system by closing its indi-  
vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure  
testing of the gas supply piping system at test  
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.  
NOTE: The air shutter may only be adjusted to a more  
open position. The factory setting is the minimum al-  
lowable air shutter setting.  
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove  
and the supply.

Operation  
Flame Characteristics  
Your First Fire  
It is important to periodically perform a visual check of  
the pilot and the burner flames. Compare them to Fig-  
ures 48, 49, 50. If any of the flames appear abnormal,  
call a service person.  
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize  
yourself with the burner controls shown in Figure 47.  
Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 46. Follow the lighting  
instructions on Page 26 exactly.  
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some  
odor associated with new logs, paint and metal being  
heated. Odors should dissipate within the first eight to  
ten hours, however, you can open a window to provide  
fresh air to alleviate the condition.  
Pilot and Burner Inspection  
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot  
flame and burner flame patterns are as shown in Fig-  
ures 48, 49, 50. If flame patterns are incorrect, turn the  
heater off. Contact your dealer or a qualified gas techni-  
cian for assistance. Do not operate the heater until the  
pilot flame is correct.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure the external gas shutoff is in the “ON” position.  
WARNING: REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK.  
SYMPTOM  
POSSIBLE CAUSES  
CORRECTIVE ACTION  
1. Spark ignitor will  
not light  
A. Defective or misaligned  
electrode at the pilot  
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and  
push the ignitor button again. If pilot will not light, check  
gap at electrode and pilot - it should be 1/8” to have a  
strong spark.  
B. Defective ignitor (push but-  
ton)  
Push piezo ignitor button. Check for spark at electrode  
and pilot. If there is no spark at the pilot, and electrode  
wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.  
A. Defective pilot generator  
(thermocouple)  
Check pilot flame. It must impinge on the thermocouple  
or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly uses  
both a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocou-  
ple operates the pilot flame. Tighten the thermocouple.  
The thermopile operates the main valve (ON and OFF).  
Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impinge-  
ment on thermocouple and thermopile.  
2. Pilot will not stay lit  
after carefully fol-  
lowing the lighting  
instructions  
B. Defective automatic valve  
operator  
Turn valve knob to ‘Pilot’. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt  
meter should read greater than 10mV. If the reading  
is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas  
valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be  
used to conduct this test.  
A. Remote switch or wires  
defective  
Check rocker switch and wires for proper connection.  
Use jumper wires across terminals at rocker switch. If  
burner lights, replace rocker switch. If okay, use jumper  
wires across rocker switch wires at the valve; if burner  
lights, wires are faulty or connections are bad.  
3. Pilot lights, no gas  
to burner, valve  
knob ON, remote  
switch (rocker  
switch) ON  
B. Thermopile may not gener-  
ate sufficient voltage  
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve  
terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into  
pilot bracket.  
2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded.  
Remove rocker switch wires from valve terminals. If  
burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring from  
ground. It may be grounded to the appliance or the  
gas supply line.  
3. Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take read-  
ing at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals of gas  
valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while hold-  
ing valve knob depressed in PILOT position and with  
rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if reading  
is below specified minimum.  
C. Plugged burner orifice  
Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.  
D. Defective automatic valve

Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater  
Maintenance  
Your Jefferson Gas Heater will provide years of service  
with minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help  
ensure that your stove continues to function properly.  
Cleaning the Glass  
WARNING: Allow the glass to cool com-  
pletely before attempting to clean.  
Annual System Inspection  
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected  
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any  
worn or broken parts.  
�  
����  
�  
Logset and Burner /  
Cleaning and Inspection  
��  
���  
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the  
heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of  
dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas  
before each use and clean as necessary.  
���  
���  
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-  
ing start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on  
the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other  
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. Also  
initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass.  
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned  
two or three times with a non-ammonia household  
cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace  
glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned  
two or three times during each heating season depend-  
ing on the circumstances present.  
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-  
pletely before cleaning.  
2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom  
out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 59)  
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and  
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such  
as a counter protected by a towel.  
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your  
local dealer if any damage is evident.  
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris  
from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the  
logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.  
Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-  
tion.  
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.  
7. Replace the Stove Front.  
Glass Replacement  
Replace glass only with CFM Corporation approved  
parts. Refer to Page 33 for Replacement Parts. Refer to  
Figures 59, 60 and previous instructions for removal of  
the damaged glass frame.  
Care of Cast Iron  
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the  
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature  
stove paints, available through your local dealer, to  
touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted  
with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner  
and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply  
the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give bet-  
ter results than a single heavy coat.  
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp  
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces-  
sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially  
for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.  
CAUTION  
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING.  
ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY  
BEFORE PAINTING.

Jefferson Direct Vent /Natural Vent Gas Heater  
Inspect the Vent System Annually  
Have the vent system inspected annually by a quali-  
fied technician. Shut off the main gas supply before  
inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and  
the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to  
confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition.  
Check the Gas Flame Regularly  
ST208a  
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check  
the flames periodically to confirm that they match Page  
24. The flames will be blue during the first 15-20 min-  
utes of operation, and will gradually turn to yellow after  
that.  
Fig. 60 Release the latches to release the glass frame.  
Gasket Replacement  
The Jefferson Gas Heater uses a ‘tadpole’ type gasket  
to seal between the glass panel and the frame. In time,  
this gasket can become brittle and compressed and  
should be replaced. New gasket is available from your  
dealer.  
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from  
that shown here. Contact your CFM Corporation dealer  
or a qualified technician for help.  
Stove Disassembly  
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool.  
Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.  
If there is ever a need to remove the firebox assem-  
bly from the stove shell, support the firebox with solid  
stands about 6” (152 mm) tall under the left and right  
outer edges of the firebox base. Do not set the firebox  
assembly directly on the floor; this can damage the  
control valve and/or the gas lines from the valve to the  
firebox.  
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.  
(Figs. 59 & 60) Remove the old gasket. Use a  
razor blade to separate the glass and gasket from  
the frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining  
cement or bits of gasket. Use a cold chisel if neces-  
sary.  
Before removing the firebox from the shell, disconnect  
the on/off switch wires from the valve. If the assembly  
includes the optional fan, disconnect the fan rheostat.  
If the installation includes a wall thermostat, disconnect  
the thermostat leads from the valve.  
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it  
out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1  
- 2” (25-50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility  
knife.  
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the pro-  
tective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive face  
of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the  
panel. Continue around the panel, applying a bout 6”  
at a time and being careful to not stretch the mate-  
rial. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig. 61)  
Disconnection and reconnection to the gas line should  
only be done by a qualified gas service technician.  
Upon reinstallation, the vent system must be sealed to  
the firebox as shown in the installation section, Page  
14. Also be sure the logs are placed in the firebox cor-  
rectly, as shown on Page 21.  
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone  
rubber sealant along the inside corner of the glass  
frame, all around the perimeter. Place the flat  
gasketed side of the glass panel back into the steel  
frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket mate-  
rial to bulk it up.  
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ-  
ously described.  
ST179  
Fig. 61 Wrap the gasket material around the outside edge of  
the glass.
