GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER-

VICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local

codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it

is important to know the specifics that apply to your area,

for example: in Massachusetts State:

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

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

• The flexible 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 prod
uct.

• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CGA ­B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Suit­able for mobile home installation if installed in accordance
with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas
equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and NFPA
54 in the United States.
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).
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend­ing the full width and depth.
The optional heat circulating blower is supplied with a cord. If
installed, the 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 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open.
Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before
closing the door.

Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide
adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operat­ing the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the
fireplace.

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

Minimum clearance to combustible construction
from fireplace and vent surfaces:

fireplace framing - 0" to stand-offs (top, rear and sides)
fireplace finishing - 5 3/8" to sides,

23 3/8" to top of fireplace opening.
vent pipe - 2 inches
recessed depth - 29 inches

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

Maximum input is 43,000 BTU/hr for both 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 33,540 BTU/hr at an effi­ciency of 78%; and 34,000 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency
of 79%. 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 bed­sitting 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.

W415-0447 / B / 05.24.05

This fireplace may

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.

VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS & AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp
or American Metal Amerivent venting components.

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 Hight Temperature Sealant.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.

A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from
the corresponding supplier:

Supplier 5&8 ZC

Duravent W175-0170
Amerivent 4DSC-N2
Direct Temp 5DT-AAN

When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap­proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with
the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422R,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall pen­etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
The maximum number of allowable 5" vent connections is
three horizontally or 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 16 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 34 inches and a maximum 40
feet above the fireplace. FIGURE 3.

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. 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.

FIGURES 2A-C

FIGURE 3

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases
using SIMPSON DURA-VENT or NAPOLEON RIGID OR
FLEXIBLE venting components when venting as
illustrated in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
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.
For safe and proper operation 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.
If vertical rises greater than 57 inches are necessary,
the increased rise must be deducted from the horizon­tal run.

pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to centre the
exhaust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the centre of
the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE
OF MATERIAL.

A vent pipe
shield will prevent
any materials such
as insulation, from
filling up the 1" air
space around the
pipe. Nail headers
between the joist
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 finished ceiling), and secure over the open­ing in the ceiling. A firestop 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 firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire­place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the re­quired clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner
is installed in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe
/ liner and the firestop spacer.

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.

FIGURE 25

FIGURE 26

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

Note : All gas connections must be contained within

the fireplace when complete.

1. The fireplace is de­signed to accept a ½"
gas supply line. The
fireplace is equipped
with a ½" manual
shut-off valve, and an 18" listed flexible gas connector.

2. The access to the gas in­let is located on the right side
of the outer shell.

3. To ease the connection,
the shut off can be flexed out
through the side of the fire­place where the connection
can be made.

4. When flexing any gas line, support the gas valve so that
the lines are not bent. (see Access Pg. 20).

FIGURE 29

Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. If this
appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted
using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces the velocity
of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and
creating a more traditional appearance.
The plate has a series of holes to allow for adjustment.
Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar
inside the firebox. Install the plate in the desired set of holes,
then replace the screws.

FRAMING

The Madison can be installed with either an arched opening
(FK80-A) or a rectangular opening (FK80-R) using one of
the above kits.
The framing kits serve two purposes. They are necessary if
optional doors (DK80) are to be installed.
Secondly, they act as a reference when finishing to the fire­place opening.
The FK80 is designed to accomodate 1/2” to 1 1/2” finishing
material. They are adjustable to ensure doors open fully .
If finishing material is thicker than 1 1/2”, an optional exten­sion kit is available (EK80).
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build­ing codes.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it
is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
For convenience, the stand-offs have been shipped flat.
Before framing, ensure the stand-offs are opened and
screwed in place.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the fire­place should be raised to be flush with either the hearth or
the finished floor.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac­commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materials,
i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will
interfere with the removal of the hearth strip, which must be
removed to access the firebox.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COM­BUSTIBLES:
Fireplace framing - 0" to stand-offs (top, rear & sides)
Fireplace finishing - 5 3/8” to sides of fireplace opening.

- 23 3/8” to top of fireplace opening.

FIGURE 32

IMPORTANT:

The Madison requires a
minimum inside enclosure
height of 72”.
For temperature require­ments, this area must be left
unobstructed.

It is recommended that the
enclosure be ventilated at
the top and bottom to circu­late the hot air.

Non-combus­tible finishing
material (ie: ce­ment board,
brick, stone,
tile) may be
used to finish
the front of the
unit.

FIGURE 30

FIGURE 31

FIGURE 33

WARNING

Facing and/or finishing

material must never

opening.

Do not distort or force the frame

kit components.

When using a rough finish
material (i.e.; stone), maintain a
¼” - ½” border from the framing

components.

GLOWING EMBERS

Glowing embers are NOT recommended. The burner has
been designed to achieve maximum glow without embers.

BAFFLE INSTALLATION

Your fireplace has been supplied with the decorative brick
panels installed, however, it is necessary to install the fibre
baffle, on top of the side and rear panels.

CHARCOAL EMBERS

Charcoal provided could be randomly placed on the fibre
hearth on both sides of the burner, and across the front, es­pecially at the hearth joint.

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.

Positioning the logs improperly will cause flame impinge­ment and carboning.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified PHAZER
logs available from your Napoleon dealer.

valve, turn clockwise to off.

to off.

The receiver will emit a “beep” sound to confirm pro­gramming has been successful.

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

MAINTENANCE

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 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.

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.

ADJUSTMENTS

PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.

FIGURE 53

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.

.

Main burner flame
is a blue, lazy,
transparent flame.

Flames are consis­tently too large or
too small.
Carboning occurs.

Carbon is being de­posited on glass,
logs or combustion
chamber surfaces.

White / grey film
forms.

Exhaust fumes
smelled in room,
headaches.

Pilot goes out when
the gas knob is re­leased.

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.

Blockage in vent. - remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur on

the terminal and should be removed as required.

Incorrect installation.

Unit is over-fired or under­fired.

Air shutter has become
blocked

Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion cham­ber.

Sulphur from fuel is being de­posited on glass, logs or com­bustion chamber surfaces.

Fireplace is spilling. - check door seal and relief flap seal.

System is not correctly
purged.

Out of propane gas. - fill the tank.

Pilot flame is not large enough - turn up the pilot flame.

Pilot flame is not engulfing the
thermocouple.

Thermocouple shorting /
faulty.

Faulty valve.

- refer to Figure 13 to ensure correct location of storm collars.

- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise
2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point.
Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or
13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check that main burner
is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10" water
column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT
OVERTORQUE.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.

- 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 orifice size as
specified by the rating plate values.

- check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and that the
seal is tight.

- check that both 4" and 7" vent liners are free of holes and well sealed
at all joints.

- check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for any hori­zontal venting.

- clean the glass with a gas fireplace glass cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become per­manently marked.

- check for chimney blockage

- check that the paint curing process is complete

- purge the gas line with the glass door open.

- gently twist the pilot head to improve the flame pattern around the
thermocouple.

- loosen and tighten thermocouple.

- clean thermocouple and valve connection.

- replace thermocouple.

- replace valve.
