Hi wise stove people, I wanted to add a few embers to my new Jotul Allagash gas stove. Not a lot. I understand about not clogging the holes. But there's one spot in particular with none at all, resulting in not being able to see much of the big log when it's lit. The embers seem to light up the logs. Can I remove the glass myself? If so, how is it done, and replaced? The manual doesn't say. Or must this absolutely be done by a plumber? Thanks!
You definitely can remove the glass yourself, & you should know how
to do it so that you can clean the inside of the glass after the initial burn-off.
Your installer or salesperson should have showed you how to do this.
Page 5 in your manual shows you how to do it, but I will tell you, anyway.
1. Make sure the unit is cool.
2. Remove the top.
3. Grasp the spring clips on each side with two fingers
& pull the clips towards the front to disengage the
glass assembly.
4. Grab the top of the glass frame & lift straight up.
5. Read your manual on the positioning of the embers.
There are certain areas where you do not want them to be
on the burner.
6. Reverse steps 1-4, making sure the channel where the glass frame
seats is clear of embers, so the bottom of the glass frame fits
into the channel. If it doesn't seat, the spring clips won't
engage properly & this can cause a dangerous situation by allowing CO
to exhaust into the room.
