1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9
½ inch for the BGD36CF, or 10 ½ inch for the BGD42CF
openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum
1 inch clearance between the fi replace pipe / liner and any
combustible material. Try to center the your 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 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 / liner is
installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant between the pipe
/ liner and the fi restop spacer.

BGD36CF ONLY
Where the opening in the outside wall has been cut 11 3/8"
tall to provide the 2" clearance from the vent pipe, terminal extension plate W500-0103 must be used to cover the
opening.
BGD36CF & BGD42CF
The fi rst 24" of the top vent pipe must have a 2" clearance
to combustible material when run horizontal. This applies
to any fi nishing material or insulation in the wall that the
vent pipe passes through within that 24". The clearance
from the top of the vent pipe to the combustive material on
the outside surface of the wall only requires a 1" clearance
from the vent pipe.

USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1 1/4" air gap
between the liner and outer liner all around is required for safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle and end
of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. See Figure 51

For safe and proper operation of the fi replace, follow the
venting instructions exactly.
All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints may
be sealed using either Red RTV high temp silicone sealant or Black high temp Mill Pac with the exception of the
fi replace exhaust fl ue collar which must be sealed using
Mill Pac (not supplied).
1. Move the fi replace into position.
2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws
provided. FIGURE 60. The roof support is optional. In this
case the venting is to be adequately supported using either
an alternate method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
3. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the
inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 4" diameter coupler
a minimum of 2" over the exhaust and secure using 3
screws.
4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the
of the outside sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 7" diameter
coupler over the air intake vent pipe and secure as before.
Trim the air intake liner coupler even with the exhaust

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.

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 means to secure the unit.
The fi replace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes located
in the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home
installations, the fi replace must be fastened in place. Use #10
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
fi replace, permenently ensure that the logs are positioned
correctly.

INSTALLING STANDOFFS
Both the BGD36CF and BGD42CF are supplied with two
standoffs. For convenience, the standoffs have been shipped
fl at and located on the top at the front. Before framing ensure
the standoffs are bent and screwed into place ensuring a
height of 4.5".
FIGURE 66
BGD36 ILLUSTRATION
FRAMING
NOTE: The information and dimensions in this section represent the minimum clearances to combustible
materials.
It is best to frame your fi replace 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 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 vapour 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.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket permanetly 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
convertable for use with other gasses, unless a certifi ed kit is used.
CONVERSION KITS
The mobile home appliance is fi eld convertible between
Natural Gas (NG) and Propane (LP).
To convert from one gas to another consult your Napoleon
dealer/distributor.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
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.
Immediately 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.
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.

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. Wait fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including 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.
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to
be performed.
TURN THE CONTROL VALVE TO THE OFF POSITION WHEN HEATER IS NOT IN USE.
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-clockwise 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.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to
off. Do not force.

BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This
fi replace and its venting system should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service person. The
fi replace area must be kept clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids.
The fl ow 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.

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 fl ame 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.
Adjustment may be required depending on fuel type, vent
confi guration and altitude.
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow fl ame, but can
lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more
blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame lifting from the burner ports.
The fl ame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30
minutes for the fi nal fl ame colour to be established.

Pilot goes out while
standing; Main
burner is in 'OFF'
position.
Flames are consistently too large or
too small. Carboning occurs.
Flames are very
aggressive.
Main burner fl ame
is a blue, lazy,
transparent fl ame.
Gas piping is undersized.- turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot fl ame fl utters, diminishes or
extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor appliance
supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
Unit is over-fi red or underfi red.
Door is ajar
MODEL BGD42CF ONLY:
Aggressive venting action
due to vent height.
Blockage in vent.- remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur on
Incorrect installation.
- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise
2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point.
Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or
13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check that main burner
is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10" water column
for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN SCREWS
CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVERTORQUE.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
- tighten screws holding door in place
- Restrict vent exit. See "RESTICTING VERTICAL VENTS".
