This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high
to accommodate the fi restop assembly. Dry fi t the fi restop assembly
before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fi t within
the horizontal framing.
As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe can be enclosed in the wall
using Napoleon® vent sleeve VS47KT.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH
THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible walls
that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend the full
depth of the combustible wall.
1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the outer edge of
the inside surface of the fi restop assembly, fi t the fi restop assembly
to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (W415-0026) supplied in

ADJUSTABLE FIRESTOP INSTALLATION
Apply a bead of caulking all around the edge of the opening and
place the fi restop top, so that the vent shield covers the top of the
vent within the opening.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible
walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend
the full depth of the combustible wall.
Place the fi restop bottom against the fi restop top and secure the
two together. Adjust the assembly to ensure it is tight to the vent.
Secure fi restop to wall. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is
installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between the vent pipe
and the fi restop spacer. This restricts cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the fi replace. See Figures 49a-c.

W500-0206 must be used to cover the opening.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9 3/4" for
the BGD36CF(G), or 10 3/4" for the BGD42CF square opening in
the ceiling and an opening in the roof to provide the minimum 1"
clearance between the fi replace vent pipe and any combustible
material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location midway between
two joists 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 fi lling 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 fi nished
ceiling), and secure over
the opening in the ceiling. A
fi restop 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 fi restop
spacer over the vent shield to
restrict cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the fi replace. Ensure that both spacer and
shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the
vent pipe is installed in its fi nal
position, apply high temperature
sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between the vent pipe and
the fi restop spacer.
3. In the attic, slide the vent pipe
collar down to cover up the open
end of the shield and tighten.
This will prevent any materials,
such as insulation, from fi lling up
the 1" air space around the pipe.

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
BGD42CF ONLY: Vertical terminations may display a very active
fl ame. 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 fl ame pattern and
creating a more traditional appearance. The plate has a series of
holes to allow for adjustment.
Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar inside
the fi rebox. Install the plate as shown. Install the plate on the desired
set of holes then replace the screws.

FRAMING
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fi replace system. Objects placed in front of the fi replace should be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the front face.
When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accommodate
for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor 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 fl ashing
accessories.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapor
barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body, it is recommended
that the walls of the fi replace enclosure be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/
sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home.
This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the fi replace but must not cover any of the black face-areas of the fi replace.
Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude
in these areas but must not restrict glass door removal.

OPERATION BGD36CF & BGD42CF
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace removed
or opened. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner
before installing the door.
When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused
by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the
manufacturing process and will not occur again.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
A. This fi replace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand
while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for gas and
next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the fl oor.
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 qualifi ed service technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fi re or explosion.
D. Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water. Im-
mediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the fi replace
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 fi replace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wa it fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas includ-
ing near the fl oor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information
on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace 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 suffi ciently ventilate the room.
• Turn off all gas to the fi replace.
• 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 fi re department.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with
the push button igniter. 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 fi replace.

too high of an inlet pressure can cause the pilot fl ame to lift.) The sensor rod
may need cleaning.
Verify that the wire harness is fi rmly connected to module
Verify that the ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, dam-
