product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of Mas sachusetts.
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 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 fi replace
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 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.
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
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TESTFIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input
is 28,500 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000 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 for natural gas is 19,500 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of
68.5% with the fan on, and 16,000 BTU/hr for propane at an effi ciency
of 67% with the fan on. The maximum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization
effi ciency) rating is 64% for natural gas and 61.5% for propane.
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
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 BGD42 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
of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

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.

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 fi restop 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 is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant W573-0002
(not supplied) between the vent pipe and the fi restop spacer. See

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
This appliance is certifi ed to 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 appli-
ance 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, ensure that the logs are
positioned correctly.
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,

to combustibles is required except for clearances in fi replace enclosures. Use fi restop
spacer W500-0367 (not supplied).
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. FIGURES 33.
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 ashing 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 or protrude past any of the black face-areas
of the fi replace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
The fi replace requires a minimum enclosure height of 45 1/2“. For temperature requirements, the enclosure space around and above
the fi replace must be left unobstructed.

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 36 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 36b.
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 36c.

connected and grounded in accordance
with local codes. In the absence of local
codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CA-
NADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or
the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRI-
CAL CODE in the United States.
To safely install the fan, turn off
the electricity fi rst.
If the fi replace was not previously equipped with a fan: route
a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power
cable to the junction box. At this point, it must be strain relieved and
insulated.
W415-0381 / H / 12.07.07
FIGURE 50
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.
FIGURE 51
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 option,
the fan, when turned on, becomes
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.
FIGURE 52
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
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 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.
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.
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 re-installing the door.
FIGURE 53
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.
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
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.
