GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INST ALLED AND SERVICED
BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes.

Installation practices vary from region to region and it is
important to know the specifi cs that apply to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:

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

• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing

gas fi red appliances.

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

• The fl exible 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 fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, install to the current standard for
gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 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 Community

Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.

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

The stove 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 ½ psig (3.5
kPa). The stove 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN TEST­FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!

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. When
the valve is set to "HI", the manifold pressure under fl ow
conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10
inches water column for propane. When the stove 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.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use
with other gases, unless a certifi ed kit is used.

Maximum input is 25,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane.
Maximum output is 20,500 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 82%.

Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the stove.

Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
Provided that the clearance to combustibles are achieved,
the most desirable and benefi cial location for a Napoleon®
stove is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most
effi cient use of the heat created. The location of windows,
doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the stove is to be
located should be considered. If possible, you should choose
a location where the vent will pass through the house without
cutting a fl oor or roof joist.

Rating Label Location: The rating label is located behind the
control door and is chained to the stove.

DO NOT REMOVE.

The stove, when installed with a blower, 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.

W415-0607 / A / 01.18.08

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

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 High Temperature Sealant.
The connection between the adaptor for these systems and
the stove fl ue collar must be sealed using the black high
temperature sealant Mill Pac (not supplied).
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent
systems and may be purchased from the corresponding
supplier:

may be used on both the inner exhaust and the outer intake
vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except
for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the stove fl ue 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 / fl exible components with the
following termination kits:Wall Terminal Kit GD222, or
1/12 to 7/12 Pitch Roof Terminal Kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12
Roof Terminal Kit GD111, Flat Roof Terminal Kit GD112 or
Periscope Kit GD201 (for wall penetration below grade).
Also approved for use with Duravent's co-axial to co-linear
adaptor for installations using an existing chimney.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet,
the minimum allowable vertical vent length is 3 feet.

For optimum fl ame appearance and stove 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.
Horizontal runs may have a 0" rise per foot in all cases
using Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp,
American Metal Amerivent rigid venting components or Wolf
Steel fl exible venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that horizontal
runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot when using Simpson
Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent
or Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible vent components.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.

For safe and proper operation of the stove follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Under extreme vent confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition.
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.
Use a fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

FOR SPECIFIC VENTING PARAMETERS, REFER TO PAGES 9-13.

VERTICAL THROUGH EXISTING CHIMNEY

INSTALLATION

This appliance is designed to be attached to a 3" co-linear
fl exible vent system running the full length of a masonry
chimney.

The fl exible vent pipe accommodates any contours of a masonry
chimney, however , it is necessary to keep the fl exible vent pipe
as straight as possible. The inlet air collar of the termination
cap must be connected to the air intake pipe.

Use Simpson Duravent Chimney Liner Termination Kit ­923GK (Base plate and Co-Linear to Co-Axial Adaptor.
Follow manufacturers (Simpson Dura-Vent) installation
instructions.
When installing the unit to this system, Duravent vent
components must be used. You must start with a Duravent
adaptor, GDS924N, directly off the unit. The GDS924N is only
available at your Napoleon® dealer.

INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

For optimum performance, it is recommended that
horizontal runs have a minimum 1" rise per foot when
using Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp,
American Metal Amerivent, or Wolf Steel rigid or
fl exible vent components.

For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow

the venting instructions exactly.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the air terminal location, cut and frame a
hole in an exterior wall with a minimum rectangle opening of
10" high x 9" wide. Firestop spacer and shield do not limit
the thickness of a wall. For wall construction when using less
than 2" x 6" framing, the shield must be cut to suit.

1. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the

3 shorter screws supplied.

The shield is meant to protect combustible materials within
the wall. If the shield is deeper than the combustible portion
of the wall, cut to fi t.

2. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the fi restop
spacer over the framework to restrict cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the stove. Ensure that both spacer
and shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer screws supplied.
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.

FIGURE 20

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a 9"
square opening in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 1" clearance between the vent pipe / liner and any
combustible material. Try to center the vent 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.

FIGURE 21

9 ”

FIRESTOP
UNDERSIDE OF JOIST

A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as
insulation, from fi lling up the 1" air space around the vent pipe.
Nail headers between the joists 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 spacer 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 stove.
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 vent pipe / liner and
the fi restop assembly.

3. In the attic, after the vent
pipe has been installed, slide the
vent pipe collar down to cover up
the open end of the shield and
tighten. This will prevent any

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS

Vertical termination installations exiting either from the rear or the top flue collar of the stove may display a
very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted to reduce the velocity of
the exhaust gases, thus slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance.
Remove the baffl e plate from the rear wall of the fi rebox, exposing the fl ue gas outlet opening. Superimpose this outlet hole
with the smaller hole on the kit restrictor plate. Secure with the two screws provided and replace the baffl e plate.

5. Re-install the glass door.

CHARCOAL EMBERS

Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the burner in a realistic manner. Fine dust found in
the bottom of the bag should not be used.

VERMICULITE

Sprinkle vermiculite around the charcoal embers.
Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to be
placed on the burner ports.

GLOWING EMBERS

T ear the embers into pieces and place along the burner ports
covering all of the burner. Care should be taken to shred the
embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only
glow when exposed to direct fl ame; however, care should be
taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PhazerTM logs glow
when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed "glowing
embers" and PhazerTM logs available from your Napoleon®
dealer.

3. Place the center log as shown, ensuring the holes on the
underside are placed onto the two center pins.

shorted wire or cracked insulator around the electrode.

Verify that the incoming gas line ball valve is "Open". Verify that the
inlet pressure reading is within acceptable limits, inlet pressures must
not exceed 14" W.C.

Verify the value and pilot assemblies are properly grounded to the
metal chassis of the stove or log set.

Verify all connections. V erify the connections from the pilot assembly
are tight; also verify these connections are not grounding out to any
metal.
Verify the fl ame is engulfi ng the sensor rod. This will increase the
fl ame rectifi cation. Verify correct pilot orfi ce is installed and inlet gas
specifi cations to manual. (Remember, the fl ame carries the rectifi ca-

tion current, not the gas. If the fl ame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit
is broken. A wrong orifi ce or 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,
damaged, or loose. Verify the connection from the sensor rod to the
sensor wire. Clean sensor rod with an emory cloth to remove any
contamination that may have accumulated on the sensor rod. Verify
continuity with multimeter with ohms set at the lowest range.

surfaces.

- Wiring / Connection

- Wiring harness

- Module or Valve

- Stove is spilling.

- Air shutter has become
blocked

- Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion chamber.

Inspect all wires, ensure good tight connections. Verify that all
wiring is installed exactly as specifi ed.

Inspect the wiring harness, and verify the harness is tightly con­nected to the module. Verify that you have 7 wires and they are
connected in the right order.

Conduct the following test to verify if the problem is the module or
valve. T o measure voltages, turn multimeter to "DC" place the red
lead from multimeter on the screw on the terminal block for the
wire you are checking, touch black lead to ground (valve body).
Importantly, a "Zero" volts reading does not automatically indicate
a bad module, there may be too little resistance in the valve so­lenoid. Check if the Green wire is disconnected from the valve.
The voltage output from the module should be between 2 and
3 volts.

Check all seals.

Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.

Check that the logs are correctly positioned.
Open air shutter to increase the primary air.
Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifi ce
size as specifi ed by the rating plate values.
Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and
that the seal is tight.
Check that both vent pipes are free of holes and well sealed
at all joints.
Check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for
any horizontal venting.

Flames are very ag­gressive.
