FIGURE 1

For safe and pr oper oper ation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
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.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or ve rtical runs and elbows . Keep it pulled tight. A 1-1/4" air

gap between the inner and outer liner all around is required for safe operation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
The fireplace must be installed against finished w alls. Do not install against a v a pour barrier or e xposed insula-

tion.
On all horizontal runs , when determining air terminal locations, c heck f or appr opriate rise per foot r equirements .
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located betweeen 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 r uns 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.

Use only Napoleon or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for
both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for these installations, are set out in this manual and
must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.

NOTE: Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent require the 4 inc h and the 7 inch diameter vent joints to be sealed.
Use the high temperature sealant provided.

When using Napoleon venting components, use only approved Napoleon rigid / flexible vent components with the
following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD1 10, 8/12 TO 12/
12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration
below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD220 or the
10 foot vent kit GD330.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIGURES 2, 3, & 4. The maximum number of
4" flexible connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections).

FIGURES 2a - d

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.

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot using Simpson Dura-Vent, Napoleon rigid or flexible venting
components when venting as illustrated in Figure 2a-c.

Except for rigid venting directly off the back of the fireplace as illustrated in FIGURES 2a, 2d & 3, all other venting
configurations may have the combustion air deflector removed to improve the flame pattern. See Trouble Shooting for

removal details.

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 8 inches
24 inches.If a greater horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical
rise immediately off the fireplace of 24 inches. With this configuration, the horizontal run can
be between a minimum of 13 inches and a maximum of 96 inches.
terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 36 inches and a maximum 40 feet from
the centre of the fireplace flue outlet.

When lit for the first time, the fireplace 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. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm
weather season, the fireplace 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 sufficiently ventilate the room.

PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OF THE FIREPLACE REMOVED. ASSURE THAT A
CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS AT THE BURNER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DOOR.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier than

air and will settle on the floor.

WHA T TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

• 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 fire department.

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 qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect

the fireplace and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

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 fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow 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 vacuum-

ing 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 flame 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.
