In absence of local codes, install the GD36 and BGD36 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. 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. If the optional fan or blower is 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.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The GD36 is factory equipped with ceramic glass. The BGD36 is factory equipped with tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16" for both models. Use only replacement glass available from your Napoleon dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MA TERIALS. 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.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace. Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace. 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. Provide a means for visually checking the vent con­nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed. 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. Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

VENTING
MODELS GD36 AND BGD36 MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.
REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.
VENTING LENGTHS
Use only Wolf Steel 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. When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap­proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol­lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMI- NAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen- etration 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.
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined.
Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting systems
must not be combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 5. The maximum allowable horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud­ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when using aluminum flexible venting.
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. 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. Six (6") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7" diameter flexible liner.
BGD36 SPECIFICATIONS
For optimum performance it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using Napoleon flexible vent components. A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between 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 runs 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.
Minimum clearance to combustible con­struction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch recessed depth 14 inches top, sides and bottom of the vent pipe* 1 inch top of the vent pipe - rear vent only* 2 inches
* REAR VENT - A clearance to combustibles of 1" at the
bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must be maintained during the first 12" of venting when penetrating combusti­ble walls. The firestop spacer (W615-044) supplied with the unit should be used to maintain this clearance. There­after a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained using firestop spacer (W500-0096).
TOP VENT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all
around the vent pipe is required.

INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTL Y .
NOTE: REAR EXIT - A clearance to combustibles of 1" at the bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must be maintained during the first 12" of venting when penetrating combustible walls. The firestop spacer (W615-0044) supplied with the unit should be used to maintain this clearance. Thereafter a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained using firestop spacer (W500-0096).
TOP EXIT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the vent pipe is required.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the air termi­nal location, cut and frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum opening as required. See Note above. (As an alternative to fram­ing, a vent pipe shield may be in­stalled, ensuring a 1" clearance to combustibles.)
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not sup­plied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent pipe shield
should maintain the required clearance to the 7" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity with any type of material. 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.
FIGURE 23
VERTICAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when venting through a roof. 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 pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SP ACE 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.
FIGURE 26
FIGURE 25
FIGURE 24
W415-0210 / E / 06.25.03
OR
NOTE: Two methods to ensure the air terminal covers
the cut out in the wall are;
1. Where the opening in the outside wall has been cut 10½" tall to provide the 2" clearance from the vent pipe, terminal extension plate W500-0103 must be used to cover the opening.
2. The first 12" of vent pipe must have a 2" clearance to combustible material when the vent pipe exits off the back of the fireplace. This applies to any finishing material or insulation in the wall that the vent pipe passes through within that 12". The clearance from the top of the vent pipe to the combustible material on the outside surface of the wall only requires a 1" clearance from the vent pipe.
Page 17
USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS
Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked:
"Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the stamp only on the 7” outer liner.
17
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Cut or frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum round or square opening of 10½ inches. Secure the firestop spacer over the opening to the interior wall.
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the required length taking into account the additional length needed for the finished wall surface. Slip the liner a mini­mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws. Apply a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.
3. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminum liner, slide over the outer combustion air sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal as before.
FIGURE 27
The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.
FIGURE 28
4. Insert the liners through the firestop maintaining the required clearance to combustibles. Holding the air termi­nal (lettering in an upright, readable position), secure to the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
5. Apply a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant to the inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
6. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminium liner, apply sealant, slide a minimum of 2" over the fireplace combus­tion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles.
VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
FIGURE 29
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the required length. Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal using a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.
3. Repeat using 7" diameter aluminium flexible liner.
4. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through the roof. The air terminal must be located vertically and plumb. Attach the air terminal assembly to the roof support, ensuring that a mini­mum 16" of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fas­tened.
DO NOT CLAMP THE FLEXIBLE ALUMINIUM LINER.
1. Fasten the roof sup­port to the roof using the screws provided. 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.
FIGURE 30
W415-0210 / E / 06.25.03
Page 18

5. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi­nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centred 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.
6. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof 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 centred between the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely. Attach the vertical rain cap.
Spacers are at­tached to the 4" inner flex liner at predeter­mined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.
FIGURE 31
7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain a clearance to combustibles of 1".
FIREPLACE VENT CONNECTION
1. Install the 4 inch diameter aluminium flexible liner to the fireplace. Secure with 3 screws and flat washers. Seal the joint and screw holes using the high temperature seal­ant provided.
2. Install the 7 inch diameter aluminium flexible liner to the fireplace. Attach and seal the joints.
FIGURE 32
USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel vent spacers W615-0033 or equivalent every 3 feet and either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼" clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Wolf Steel support ring assembly W010-0370 or equiva­lent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
FIGURE 33
1. Move the fireplace into po­sition. Measure the vent length required between terminal and fireplace taking into account the additional length needed for the finished wall surface and any 1¼" overlaps between venting components.
2. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the 4" inner collar of the fireplace. Att ach the first vent component and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Repeat using 7" piping.
W415-0210 / E / 06.25.03
3. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable position), insert into both vent pipes with a twisting motion to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the vent pipes and sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.
EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND CORNER
AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In­stallations", items 1 to 3.
2. Continue adding components alternating inner and outer venting. Ensure that all 4" venting and elbows have sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4" telescopic sleeve to the vent run.
Repeat using a 7" tel­escopic sleeve. Secure and seal as before. To facilitate completion, at­tach 4" and 7" couplers to the air terminal.
3. Install the air terminal. See item 3 of the Horizontal Air Terminal Installation.

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
Before attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the fireplace, 1½" will need to be trimmed off the 4" collar.
REAR VENT APPLICATION: Attach 4" and 7" elbows to the fireplace. Secure with 3 screws and seal the joints and screw heads using high temperature sealant. Proceed to step 1 below.
TOP VENT APPLICATION:
1. Move the fireplace into position.
2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws
provided. FIGURE 30. 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 seal- ant 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. 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.
If the attic space is tight, we rec­ommend threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equiva-
loosely onto the air terminal
lent assembly as it is passed through the attic. The air terminal must be
located vertically and plumb.

6. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi­nal and 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. REAR VENT APPLICATION: Run a bead of high tem- perature 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.
TOP VENT APPLICATION: Run a bead of high tempera­ture sealant around the outside of the 4" collar on the fire­place. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum of 2" onto the collar. 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.
RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
Model GD36NTR Vertical T erminal only:
Vertical terminations running longer than 15 feet may dis­play a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using restrictor plate kit, RP-KT. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more tradi­tional appearance. Specific instructions are included with the kit.

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"ø holes located at either end of the base.
2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L
copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire size: WIRE SIZE MAX. LENGTH
14 gauge 100 feet 16 gauge 60 feet
18 gauge 40 feet Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATIONGAS INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori­zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes lo­cated in the front left and right corners of the base. For mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.

vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build­ing codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
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 opening of the lower access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
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.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face­areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.

1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts using the 2 sheet metal screws supplied. Secure through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nail­ing tab and then through the existing holes in the corner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front face is offset with the front edge of the corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the nailing tab vertically on the corner post.
Figure 43 a.
Drill through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure using the two sheet metal screws supplied. This allows the nailing tab to slide back and forth for desired fram­ing. Figure 43 b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab you must first determine the thickness of your finishing material (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension from the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through the centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal screw*. Figure 43 c.

LOG PLACEMENT
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon Fire-
places, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is different in every installation. Take the time to carefully po­sition the glowing embers for a maximum glowing effect. 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.
FIGURE 46a-d
#1
1. Place the back log (#1) onto the log support tray and in front of the tabs. The tabs maintain an air space between the log and firebox back to facilitate combustion air flow. Ensure that the back of the log rests against the brackets on the back wall of the firebox.

GLOWING EMBERS
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only
glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should be taken to not block the burner ports.
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 "glowing embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo­leon dealer.

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.
These settings are for rear vented (maximum) horizontal termination. Adjustment may be required depending on fuel type, vent configuration and altitude.
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 goes out; pilot stays on.
Main burner goes out; pilot goes out.
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.
Pilot flame is not large enough or not engulfing the thermopile
Thermopile shorting - clean thermopile connection to the valve. Reconnect.
Remote wall switch wire is too long; too much resist­ance in the system.
Faulty thermostat or switch. - replace.
Refer to "MAIN BURNER GOES OUT ; PILOT STAYS ON" Vent is blocked

Pilot burning; no gas to main burner; gas knob is on 'HI'; wall switch / thermostat is on.
Pilot will not light. - check if pilot can be lit by a match
Themostat or switch is de­fective.
Wall switch wiring is defec­tive.
Main burner orifice is plugged. - remove stoppage in orifice.
Faulty valve.
No spark at pilot burner
Spark gap is incorrect - spark gap should be 0.150" to 0.175" (5/32" to 11/64" approx.) from
No gas at the pilot burner
- connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.
- disconnect the switch wires & connect a jumper wire across termi­nals 1 & 3; if the main burner lights, check the wires for defects and / or replace wires.
- replace.
- check that the wire is connected to the push button ignitor.
- check if the push button ignitor needs tightening.
- replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.
- replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken.
- replace the push button ignitor.
- fill the tank.Out of propane gas
the electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode location, tighten securing nut (finger tight plus 1/4 turn).
- check that the manual valve is turned on.

Flames are very aggressive.
Main burner flame is a blue, lazy, transparent flame.
Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters, dimin-
ishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
Unit is over-fired or under­fired.
- 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

Aggressive venting action due to vent height.
- Restrict vent exit. See "RESTICTING VERTICAL VENTS".
- VENT HEIGHT MORE THAN 15 FEET: restrict vent exit using restrictor plate kit RP-KT
Blockage in vent. - remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur
on the terminal and should be removed as required.
Incorrect installation.
- refer to Figure 23 to ensure correct location of storm collars.
Carbon is being deposited on glass, logs or com­bustion chamber surfaces.
White / grey film forms.
Exhaust fumes smelled in room, headaches.
Remote wall switch is in "OFF" position; main burner comes on when gas knob is turned to "ON" po­sition.
