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 either system 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 the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 TO
7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD1 1 1, FLA T ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112
or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration below grade) 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, 5 & 6. The maximum number
of 4" flexible connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air terminal connections).
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.

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 11 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot horizontal
run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of 57 inches. FIGURES 2a-c.
When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 3 feet and a maximum 40 feet above the fireplace. FIGURE 3.

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUC-

TION EXACTLY.

DEVIATION FROM THE MINIMUM VERTICAL VENT LENGTH CAN CREATE DIFFICULTY IN

BURNER START-UP AND/OR CARBONING.
IF VERTICAL RISES GREA TER THAN 57 INCHES ARE NECESSARY , THE INCREASED RISE MUST BE
DEDUCTED FROM THE HORIZONT AL RUN.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a
minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.

Horizontal runs may have a

a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum square or round opening of 9½". (As an
alternative to framing, a vent pipe shield may be installed, ensuring a 1" clearance to
combustibles. See Figure 8 .)

OR

FIGURE 8

Once the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the

VERTICAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs when venting through a roof.
FIGURE 3. Installation kits for various roof pitches are available from your Napoleon

dealer. See Accessories to order the specific kit required.

1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½ inch openings in the
ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a nor mal
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 non­operation 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 par ticles in the heat exchanger burning of f. In both
cases, open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

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.

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.

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 fireplace.

3. Turn the gas knob clockwise

to off.

4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas includ­ing near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information on
this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.

5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.

7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob

counter-clock-wise

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 fireplace.

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.

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.

Natural gas models have air shutters set at 1/16 (.063) inch open. Propane gas
models have air shutters set at 1/8 (.125) inch open. Closing the air shutter will
cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter
will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports.
The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame colour to be established. FIGURE 42.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONL Y BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED GAS IN­ST ALLER!
