4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS STOVE 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, ie: in Massachusetts State:
•The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fireplace insert.
•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.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-1988 in the United States. Mobile home installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or ANSI Z223.1- 1988 and NFPA 54-1988 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The stove 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa)
The stove, when installed with a blower, 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 70-1996 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 stove has been test-fired to assure its operation and quality!
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. When the valve is set to "HI", the manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500 ft., and in the absence 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 1,000 ft.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
GDS28: Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 26,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for natural gas is 25,500 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 85% with the fan on and 75% with the fan off. Maximum output for propane is 22,360 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on and 76% with the fan off. Maximum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 76% for natural gas and 77% for propane. This stove is not approved for closet or recessed installations. It is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations.
This stove may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured mobile home, where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
GS28: Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 26,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum

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.
W415-0153 / A / 10.29.01
LOCATION AND CLEARANCES 5
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
GDS28 AND GS28:
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and beneficial location for a Napoleon stove is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.

Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - GDS28
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components. Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting components may have a 0" rise per foot on horizontal runs.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of venting included), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 or STOVE PERISCOPE KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the stove. FIGURES 3, 4, & 5.
The maximum number of 4" flexible connections is two hori-
zontally or three vertically (excluding the stove and the air
terminal connections).
When terminating vertically, the
minimum vertical rise is FIGURE3 34 inches above the stove and
the maximum vertical rise is 40 feet.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.
W415-0153 / A / 10.29.01
6 For optimum flame appearance and stove performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum. The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90° elbow located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 4.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise immediately above the stove is 20 feet . Figures 5.
FIGURE4
FIGS 5
SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal offset is required in a through-the-roof installation, the following procedure for vent length calculations must be followed: 
In an installation as shown in FIGURE 7, lengths A and C are known based on room height and roof requirements.
Length C must never be less than 29 inches. Any 90° and 45° elbows must be calculated as 5 feet of venting each.
The allowable horizontal run can be calculated using these parameters. In this example, the total vertical height is 20 feet (length "A" is required to be 11 feet while length "C" needs to be 9 feet). The maximum vertical length is 40 feet and all runs and elbows must be subtracted from this maximum vertical length.
A
B
C
FIGURE7
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "B" can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length) -11 ft. (through the roof vertical rise "A") -10 ft. (2 - 90° elbow)
- 9 ft. (vertical run "C")
10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")
The length of "B" must never be greater than the length of "A" and "C" combined.
OFFSET INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
FIGURE8
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
If vertical rises greater than 57 inches are necessary, the increased rise must be deducted from the maximum horizontal run.
Use chart, Figure 6, to calculate horizontal runs for vertical rises between 29 and 57 inches.
When calculating maximum run lengths, include 10 feet for each 90° elbow or 5 feet for each 45° elbow.
Do not include the first elbow directly off the unit.

8 WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs
when venting through an |
|
||
exterior |
wall. FIGURES |
|
|
4, 5, & 11. Having deter- |
|
||
mined the air terminal lo- |
|
||
cation, cut and frame a hole |
|
||
in an exterior wall with a |
|
||
minimum square or round |
|
||
opening of 9". (As an alter- |
|
||
native to framing, a vent |
|
||
pipe |
shield may be in- |
FIGURE11 |
|
stalled, ensuring a 1" clear- |
|
||
ance |
to |
combustibles. |
|
See Figure 12.) |
|
||
For optimum performance, the stove pipe should rise ¼" per foot of run.
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the 7" vent pipe. Do not fill this cavity with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.

DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe. FIGURE 15. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceiling. FIGURE 14. A firestop must be placed on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes through. FIGURE 13. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop
spacer. |
