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.
