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.

• Only doors / optional fronts certified with the unit are to be installed on the appliance.

A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. In absence of

local codes, install the BGD48 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 specifi cs that apply to your area, ie: in Massachusetts
State:

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

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

• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36".

• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom
or bathroom unless unit is direct-vent.

• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter when installed within the common­ wealth 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 fi replace and its individual shut off 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 fi replace
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut off 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 fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or
other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST­FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input

is 36,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 36,000 BTU/hr for propane.
When the fi replace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the
absence of specifi c recommendations from the local authority having
jurisdiction, the certifi ed high altitude input rating shall be reduced at
the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.

Maximum output is 23,500 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 65%. The maxi­mum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization effi ciency) rating is 62%.

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5" water column for natural
gas and 11" water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure
is 7" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane.
Manifold pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5" water column for
natural gas and 10" water column for propane.

This fi replace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting
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

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

down cycles are normal and are to be expected.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a
clean dry cloth. The BGD48 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 fi rst 10 hours of operation with a recom­mended gas fi replace 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 spe-

cifi c fi replace.

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

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

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

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

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',
(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.

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.

Objects placed in front of the fi replace must be kept a minimum

VENTING

For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fi replace after the
fi replace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attic, 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.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, 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 Hight 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:

Supplier 5&8 ZC

Dura-Vent W175-0170
Amerivent 4DSC-N2
Direct Temp 5DT-AA

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American
Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure found on
the website for your venting supplier:
VENTING SUPPLIER WEBSITE ADDRESS

Simpson Dura-Vent www.duravent.com
Selkirk Direct Temp www.selkirkcorp.com
American Metal Amerivent www.americanmetalproducts.com

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf
Steel rigid / fl exible 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 fl exible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD420
or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.

It is recommended to attach the Wolf Steel 45º rigid adaptor
directly to the unit when terminating horizontally off the back
of the unit. This must be done before attaching the desired vent
system. Once this transition has been made, venting systems
must not be combined.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the
fi replace. FIGURES 3 & 4. 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 fi replace and the air terminal connections)
when using aluminium fl exible venting.

When terminating vertically, restrictor plate W500-0205 must be
installed. (Refer to Restricting Vertical Vents).

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.

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.

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or ver­tical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air gap all
around between the inner liner and outer liner is required for
safe operation. Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls,
floor or ceiling.

Minimum clearance to combustible construc­tion from fi replace and vent surfaces:

Framing 0" to stand-offs
Finishing 0" to rear, sides and bottom

Non-combustible fi nishing 8" to top

All around the vent pipe 2"
Recessed depth 23"
Enclosure top 55" from bottom of unit
Clearance to ceiling 84" from bottom of unit

HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all
around the vent pipe in all horizontal runs to combustibles is required.
Use fi restop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).

VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the vent
pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use fi restop

spacer W500-0028 (not supplied).

Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases using
Wolf Steel rigid or flexible vent components or Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent
vent components.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal
runs have a 1" rise per foot when using Wolf Steel flexible vent
components.

of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

This application occurs when venting
through an exterior wall. Having de­termined the air terminal location, cut
and frame a hole in an exterior wall.
The recommended framed opening is

installed only when terminat­ing horizontally with no vertical
rise. Remove the two screws
nearest the vent collars on
the top of the fi replace. Align
the vent heat shield (sup­plied) and secure. Adjust the
vent heat shield to touch the
fi restop spacer.

ADJUSTABLE FIRESTOP INSTALLATION

Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the fi restop top, so
that the vent shield covers the top of the vent within the opening.

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.

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. This restricts 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 high tempera­ture sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between the pipe / liner and
the fi restop spacer. See fi gures 17a-c.

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame

123/4" x 123/4" openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the

minimum 1" clearance be­tween the fi replace pipe /
liner and any combustible
material. Try to centre the
exhaust pipe location mid­way between two joist to
prevent having to cut them.
Use a plumb bob to line up
the centre 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.
FIGURE 19. 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

GAS INSTALLATION

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the fi re­place when complete.

1. Move the fi replace into position and secure to the fl oor through

the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.

2. The fi replace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The

fi replace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve.

3. Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the

absence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.

4. When fl exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the

lines are not bent or kinked.

5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solu-

tion.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove removed.
Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner before re-

installing the door.

OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH

INSTALLATION

For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be
installed in a convenient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) mil­livolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of
the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire
size:

WIRE SIZE MAX. LENGTH
14 gauge 100 feet

16 gauge 60 feet
18 gauge 40 feet

Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.

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

This fi replace is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the
rating plate. This fi replace is not convertible for use with other
gases, 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.

FRAMING

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.

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.

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 ash-

ing accessories.

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

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.

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 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 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 fi replace,

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:

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 40 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 40 b.

2) To determine the fi nal location of the nailing tab
you must fi rst determine the thickness of your fi nishing
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 40 c.

Because the blower is thermally activated,
when turned on, it will automatically start
approximately 10 minutes after lighting
the fi replace and will run for approximately
30-45 minutes after the fi replace has been
turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat.

Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irrepara­ble damage. Care must be taken to prevent drywall dust from coming
into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting

from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.

GD36 THERMOSTATIC SENSOR CONTROL

This optional kit is meant to be used only in conjunction with the GD65
Fan Kit, shown above, which may
be ordered from your Wolf Steel /
Napoleon® dealer.

With the thermostatic sensor op-
tion, the fan, when turned on, be-
comes thermally activated, and will
automatically run approximately
15-30 minutes after the fi replace
has been lit and for approximately
30-45 minutes after the fi replace
has been turned off.

Use of the fan increases the output of heat.

route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the junction box. At
this point, it must be strain relieved and insulated.

The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal harness. When
installed, ensure that any excess wire is contained, preventing it from
making contact with moving or hot objects.

To ease installation of the fan, remove the hinge screen and valve
control door (lower louvres) from the base of the fi replace.

Position the vibration reducing pad into the clip and onto the threaded
stud at the other end, piercing a hole into the pad. The fan assembly
must be able to be positioned entirely onto the pad.

Slide the fan assembly past the controls and into the clip. Secure
using the lock washer and nut provided.

Plug the harness cord into the receptacle.

Unplug the power cord from the receptacle. Connect all wires as
shown.

Attach and secure the sensor assembly bracket to the securing stud
located next to the
receptacle/junction
box at the bottom left
of the unit using the
lock washer and wing
nut. Ensure that the
thermodisc touches
the fi rebox wall.

Plug the power cord
back into the receptacle.

When installed, ensure that any excess wire is contained, preventing
it from making contact with moving or hot objects.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 curing
of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in
the manufacturing process and will not occur again.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

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. Imme-

diately 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

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.

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

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• 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.

FIGURE 53

GAS KNOB

FIGURE 54

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 relighting, 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. Wai t 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.

TO TURN OFF GAS

1. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to be
performed.

MAINTENANCE

Turn off the gas and electrical power 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.

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-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.

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 open-

ings 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 fl ame. Turn in a
clockwise direction to reduce the gas fl ow.

23

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.
