WARNING

• Do not burn wood or other materials in this fireplace.

• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns
or clothing ignition. Supervise young children when they are in the same room as the fireplace.

• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace.

• Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.

• Even after the fireplace is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.

• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These
screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the fireplace.

• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the fireplace and venting
system are kept clean. The fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified
service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The fireplace
area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Under no circumstances should this fireplace be modified.

• This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

• Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

• Do not operate the fireplace with the glass door removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a
licensed or qualified service person.

• Do not strike or slam shut the fireplace glass door.

• This fireplace uses and requires a fast acting thermocouple. Replace only with a fast acting thermocouple supplied by Wolf Steel
Ltd.

• Pressure relief doors must be kept closed while the fireplace is operating to prevent exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide,
from entering into the home. Temperatures of the exhaust escaping through these openings can also cause the surrounding

combustible materials to overheat and catch fire.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV­ICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local

codes. In absence of local codes, install the B36DF to the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation 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.

• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing
gas fired appliances

• 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.

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 ZA240 MH Series in Canada
or the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufac­tured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard ANSI/
NFPA 501A in the United States.

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).

When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend­ing the full width and depth.

If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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. Mani­fold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water col­umn for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.

This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed­sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation.

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 are to be expected.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The B36DF is factory equipped with
tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only re­placement glass available from your Napoleon® 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.

Use only accessories designed for and listed with

your specific fireplace.

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

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.

In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo­sure be 'finished', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any
other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cav­ity.

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!

Maximum input is 23,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane.
When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, 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 1,000ft.

Maximum output for natural gas and propane is 15,200 BTU/
hr at an efficiency of 66% with the fan on. The maximum A.F.U.E.
(annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 62% for natural gas
and propane.

W415-0484 / C / 10.15.07

FIGURE 1

VENTING

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.

Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create
difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.

Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection
to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.

Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics,
garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the
insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize
condensation.

VENTING LENGTHS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or
American Metal Amerivent venting components.

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal
Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided with the
venting components.

All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be sealed
using Red RTV High Temperature Sealant.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American
Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be combined.

A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from the
corresponding supplier:

PART 5"/8" SUPPLIER

Duravent W175-0170 Wolf Steel

Amerivent 5DSC-N American Metal

Direct Temp 5DT-AAN Selkirk

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue,
only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high
temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant maybe used on
both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints of all other
approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe
connection to the fireplace flue collar which must be sealed using
the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved
Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination
kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF
TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411,
FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for
wall penetration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD420
or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the
fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 5. The maximum allowable horizontal run
is 20 feet.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maxi­mum number of 5" vent connections is two horizontally or three
vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections)
when using aluminum flexible venting.

5

For optimum flame appearance and fireplace 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.

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

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

Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 8"
diameter flexible liner.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal
runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using Napoleon® flexible
vent components.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved
driveway which is located between two single family dwellings
and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require
different clearances.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

Minimum clearance to combustible con­struction from fireplace and vent sur­faces:

sides, back and bottom 0" (to stand off)
top (framing) 7 1/2"
finishing 0"
recessed depth 21"
sides and bottom of the vent pipe 1"
top of vent 2"

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases using
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, or American
Metal Amerivent rigid vent components and Wolf Steel flexible
vent components. For optimum performance, it is recommended
that horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4 inch rise per foot when
using Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal
Amerivent or Wolf Steel rigid vent components and a minimum 1
inch rise per foot when using Wolf Steel flexible vent components.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting
instructions exactly.

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

NOTE:
combustibles of 1" at the bottom and sides of the vent
and 2" at the top must be maintained when penetrating
combustible walls. The firestop spacer (W010-1778)
supplied with the unit must be used to maintain theses
clearances.

VERTICAL TERMINATION: Only a clearance to
combustibles of 1" all around the vent pipe is required.

This application occurs when vent
ing through an exterior wall. Having
determined the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in an exterior
wall with a minimum opening as
required. See Note above.

This application occurs
when venting through a
roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are
available from your
Napoleon® dealer. See
Accessories to order the
specific kit required.

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 10
inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe /
liner and any combustible material. Try to center the ex­haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of
the openings. 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. 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. A firestop must be
placed on the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or
ceiling that the venting system passes through. 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 fireplace. Ensure that both
spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to
combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its
final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner and
the firestop spacer.

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS

Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. As
this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be
restricted using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces
the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame
pattern and creating a more traditional appearance.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

This appliance may be installed as an OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) installation in a manufactured home or mobile
home and must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the
United States or the Mobile Home Standard, CAN/CSA Z240 MH
Series, in Canada. This appliance is only for use with the type(s)
of gas indicated on the rating plate. A conversion kit is supplied
with the mobile home appliance.

This Mobile/Manufactured Home Listed appliance comes factory
equipped with a means to secure the unit.

The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4” diameter holes located in
the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home
installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use #10 hex
head screws, inserted through the holes in the base to secure.

Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the source, prior to
moving the mobile home.

After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the fireplace,
ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket permanently
located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by
local codes.

This appliance is only to be used with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with

FRAMING

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is
recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be
“finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to
combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent
system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace
system.

When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accommo­date for the thickness of the finished floor materials, i.e. tile,
carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with
the opening of the lower access door and the installation of many
decorative flashing accessories

Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the front face.

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the
fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of the black
face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone
or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.

NAILING TAB INSTALLATION

1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner
posts using the 2 sheet metal screws
supplied. Secure through the centre of
the top and bottom slots in the nailing
tab and then through the existing holes
in the corner posts.

If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:

NAILING
TAB

Position the nailing tab so that the front
face is offset with the front edge of the
corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the
nailing tab vertically on the corner post.

Figure 28 a.

Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws sup­plied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back
and forth for desired framing. Figure 28 b.

2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you
must first determine the thickness of your finishing mate­rial (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from
the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once
the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the
centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal
screw*. Figure 28 c.

* Additional set screws may be installed.

MINIMUM MANTLE AND

ENCLOSURE CLEARANCES

Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph
to help evaluate the clear­ance needed. Curtains,
above the fireplace, must not
be positioned lower than the
8" distance required for the
2" combustible mantle.
These same requirements
apply to any combustibles
protruding on either side of
the fireplace.

Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges
of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only

glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should
be taken to not block the burner ports.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo­leon dealer.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition
caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of inter­nal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing proc­ess and will not occur again.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following

a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases,
open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

Purge the gas line with the glass door removed. Assure
that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-installing
the door.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be

lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.

B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area

for gas and next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor

C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never

use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which
will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou­ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed

slightly.

1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.

2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.

3. Turn the gas knob clockwise

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv­icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan­gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service per­son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of com­bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours
and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.

1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,
remove the logs to expose both assemblies.

2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter
opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu­uming or brushing, at least once a year.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

• Open windows.

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de­partment.

5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.

6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the

pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.

7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-

wise to on.

8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main

burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote
switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.

9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.

2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-

wise to off. Do not force.

3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn­ing properly.

4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to­ward the burner with the third jet.

5. Replace the cleaned logs.

6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all

openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to
10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes
longer, consult your Napoleon® dealer / distributor.

7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS

PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.

23

Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner
ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow
15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab­lished.
