GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INST ALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149,
Installation Codes. 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.

PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OF THE FIREPLACE REMOVED. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS A T
THE BURNER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DOOR.
UNDER EXTREME VENT CONFIGURATIONS, ALLOW SEVERAL MINUTES (5-15) FOR THE FLAME TO ST ABILIZE AFTER IGNITION.
SIX (6") INCHES IS THE MINIMUM BEND RADIUS ALLOWED FOR THE 7" DIAMETER FLEXIBLE LINER.

The fireplace 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 fireplace 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).
If the optional blower or fan is installed, the receptacle / 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 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.

GENERAL INFORMAGENERAL INFORMA

GENERAL INFORMA

GENERAL INFORMAGENERAL INFORMA

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!

Maximum input is 17,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft,
and in the absense of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude
input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for natural gas is 12,920 BTU/
hr at an efficiency of 76% with the fan on, and 13,600 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 80% with the fan on.
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. Manifold
pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
fueled with natural gas.
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOL TS OR 24 VOL TS) IS REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERA TION. Expansion
/ contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

••

• 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.

• Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draper­ies.

• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace.

• 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. Use only with a glass door certified with the
fireplace.

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCA

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCAVENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCA

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.

FIGURES 2a - d

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.

WS-415-106 /05.19.99

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

Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
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.
