GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SA TISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL­ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000BTU/h for 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 23,700 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 79% with the fan on, 78% with the fan off; and 19,200 BTU/hr for propane
at an efficiency of 80% with the fan on, 79% with the fan off. Maximum A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating
is 71%. Minimum A.F.U.E. rating is 64%.
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.

This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured (mobile)
home, where not prohibited by local codes.

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

NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION.
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change in
flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass
available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. If the door glass should

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

crack or break, do not operate the fireplace. Replace only with a door assembly certified with the fireplace. See PAGE 11
for removal and replacement details. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas
fireplace 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.

VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

All horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4 inch rise per foot in all cases.
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 vertical runs and elbows.
Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is
required for safe operation.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl space)
should be wrapped with a protective insulation sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

Roof terminal kits are available for various vertical roof vent installations. Order the specific
kit required from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel dealer. For horizontal installation, use the
terminal (GD222) or the periscope (GD201) for below grade wall penetration. In conjunc­tion with the various terminations, use the 5 foot vent kit (GD220) or the 10 foot vent kit
(GD330). NOTE: Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent require the 4 inch and the 7 inch diameter vent joints

to be sealed. Use the high temperature sealant provided.

For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The maximum number of vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the fireplace and the air
terminal connections). 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 3a-c. When terminating vertically, the vertical rise is a minimum 34 inches and a maximum 40 feet
above the fireplace. FIGURE 2. This fireplace must be installed against a finished wall. Do not

install against a vapour barrier or exposed insulation.

walls, floor or ceiling.

DEVIATION FROM THE MINIMUM VERTICAL VENT LENGTH CAN CREATE DIFFICULTY IN BURNER START-UP AND/OR CARBONING.
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES ARE NECESSARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE

HORIZONTAL RUN.

Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for vertical rises between 12 and 57 inches. FIGURE 4.
When calculating maximum run lengths, include 10 feet for each 90° elbow or 5 feet for each 45° elbow. (DO NOT
INCLUDE THE FIRST ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE UNIT.)

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTION EXACTLY.

FIGURES 3a - d

FIGURE 4

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE

A through the roof installation requires a total 5 foot rise. FIGURE 5. The location of the fireplace dictates a horizontal run
of 5 feet. What is the required vertical rise to the centre of the initial 90° elbow?

The total run is:

5 ft. (through the roof vertical rise)
10 ft. (90° elbow)
5 ft. (horizontal run)
20 ft. (total run)

Using the chart, will determine that a 57 inch minimum vertical rise immediately
off the unit is required for satisfactory venting conditions.

ALTHOUGH THE IMMEDIATE VERTICAL RUN MAY BE GREATER THAN 57 INCHES, THE
MAXIMUM COMBINATION OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL RUNS, BEYOND THE 57
INCHES, MUST NOT EXCEED 20 FEET.

Only the following Napoleon Vent Kits, used in combination with each other can be
used:

GD201, GD222, GD110, GD111 or GD112 (Periscope, Wall or Roof Terminals)

GD220 (5ft vent kit) or/and GD330 (10ft vent kits)

slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centered within the
flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Make
weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing with roofing
material.

7. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is
achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.
Tighten securely. Attach the rain cap.

8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and securing as above. Attach a 4" collapsed telescopic pipe to the
last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and seal. Repeat using a 7" telescopic pipe.

9. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum 2"
onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7" telescopic pipe.

10. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent any
materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.

1. Move the fireplace into position.

2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. FIGURE 14. The roof support

is optional. In this case the venting is to be adequately supported using either an alternate
method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.

3. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip

a 4" diameter coupler a minimum of 2" over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.

4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the of the outside sleeve of the air
terminal. Slip a 7" diameter coupler over the sleeve and secure as before. FIGURE 19. Trim the
7" coupler even with the 4" coupler end.

5. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through the roof support and attach, ensuring
that a minimum 16" of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened. FIGURE 16. If the attic

space is tight, we recommend threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent

FINISHING

LOG PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS / CHARCOAL EMBERS

PHAZERTM logs and charcoal embers, exclusive to Napoleon Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect

that is different in every installation. Take the time to carefully position the charcoal embers for a maximum glowing
effect.

1. Place the front log onto the main burner, placing it 1/4" - 3/8" away from the burner ports to avoid blocking/covering
them. The left and right spacing between the log ends and the burner ports should be equal. Press down onto the
skewering screws. YOU MAY FIND IT EASIER TO PLACE SOME CHARCOAL EMBERS BENEATH THE FRONT LOG

NOW.

POSITIONING THE LOGS IMPROPERLY WILL CAUSE FLAME IMPINGEMENT AND CARBONING.

2. Place the back log onto the log support brackets located on the rear wall of the combustion chamber. The notch

situated at the lower left of the back log should be centered evenly above the pilot assembly.

3. While supporting the back log, to prevent it from falling forward, set the three smaller logs into the pockets and

grooves of the front and back logs, respectively.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fireplace,

the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments burn
in during the heat activated curing process.

CHARCOAL EMBERS: Randomly place the embers beneath
the front log, covering all of the burner area beneath the hol­lowed out section of the log. Place the remaining embers along
the front. Keep ember dust away from burner ports to avoid
plugging them.
Fine dust found in bottom of bag not to be used. PHAZER
logs and charcoal embers glow when exposed to direct flame.
Use only certified PHAZERTM logs and charcoal embers avail­able from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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. 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 OPERATING

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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

• Open windows.

• Do not try to light any appliance.

GAS KNOB

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.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

f i r e - p a r t s . c o m

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.

TO TURN OFF GAS

1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to be performed.

2. For a complete shut-down procedure: push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not

force.

3. For a temporary shut-down procedure: set thermostat to lowest setting or remote switch to off. Press and turn the
gas knob clockwise to pilot.

• 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.

5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.

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.

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.

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

vacuuming 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. (right brick panel must be removed in order to facilitate burner removal, where appli­cable.)

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.
