GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area,

for example: in Massachusetts State:

The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.

The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion product.

WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door.

Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

Altitudes greater than 4000ft. require a minimum vent run of 12ft.

The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the stove.

This fireplace must be connected to any accepted lined chimney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL1777 (in USA). The venting connection must be in compliance with the vent manufacturers installation instructions. The draft hood must be installed so it is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the fireplace.

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombustible woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only. The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be installed is:

HEIGHT 17½ inches WIDTH 25½ inches DEPTH 16½ inches

The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible mantle projecting 6" maximum from the wall to the top of the unit, is 8".

The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/ NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. The blower power cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 24,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 22,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for natural gas is 15,900 BTU/hr and 16,000 BTU/hr for propane.

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. This fireplace is certified for bedroom and bedsitting room installation. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.

No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected. Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane.

CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. Do not substitute materials. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.

Do not clean glass when hot! If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result.

INSTALLATION

Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fireplace. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning fireplace are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-combustible materials. If necessary have any repair work done by a qualified person before installing the insert. Remove the existing fireplace damper or lock into an open position.

Using screws, attach the fireplace warning tag (W385-0199) to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the insert is being installed.

WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH A GAS FIREPLACE INSERT ONLY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR BURNING WOOD OR SOLID FUELS UNLESS ALL ORIGINAL PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE FIREPLACE IS RE-APPROVED BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.

ATTENTION: CE FOYER A ETE CONVERTI AFIN D'ETRE UTILISE SEULEMENT COMME FOYER ENCASTRE AU GAZ ET NE PEUT ETRE UTILSE POUR BRULER DU BOIS OU TOUT AUTRE COMBUSTIBLE SOLIDE, SANS QUE TOUTES LES PIECES ORIGINALES AIENT ETE REMPLACEES ET QUE LE FOYER SOIT APPROUVE DE NOUVEAU PAR LES AUTORITES AYANT JURIDICTION.

Line the chimney with a 3" or 4" diameter approved liner. With a 4" liner, an increaser must be connected between the dilution draft hood and the liner. Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The liner must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney cap.

FIGURE2

The sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, must not be cut.

If the wood-burning factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the fireplace in a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fit properly. The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates may be removed from the fireplace before installing the gas fireplace insert.

Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.

The ventilation openings in the fireplace may be obstructed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.

Remove the securing screw from the front of the dilution plate. Push the dilution draft hood out of the securing clips and attach the liner using 3 screws equally spaced. Pack insulation around the liner at the damper area to prevent air flow from entering the chimney. Move the insert into the centre of the woodburning fireplace making sure that the dilution draft hood inserts back into its securing clips. Level using the four leveling screws located front and back on either side of the fireplace base. Leveling the insert will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Replace the securing screw to the front of the dilution plate.

FIGURE3

Install rigid black pipe, a flex connector, if local codes permit, or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter and a shut off valve to the fireplace. Seal and tighten securely. The adapter will be required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex connector. Do not kink flexible connector! Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution. Do not use open flame!
