GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED 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
product.
•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 the fireplace to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
The fireplace and its individual shut off 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 shut off 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 fireplace is factory
equipped with 3/16" thick tempered glass. Use only replacement glass available from your Napoleon 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.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
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" away from the front face of the
unit.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting & operating instructions exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation and vapour barrier coming into contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of
the fireplace enclosure be 'finished' (i.e.: drywall/
sheetrock) as you would finish any other wall of the
home. This will ensure that clearance to
combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

This is a vented appliance and must be connected to a
chimney in accordance with the current installation 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. This model can be
common-vented.
A minimum six inch diameter (6"ø) B-vent or class A vent is
required. A minimum 10' vent height is required. Secure
the B-vent to the exhaust collar on the stove top with 3
screws. In cold climates, the use of a B-vent and an insu-
VENT SAFETY SWITCH
lated chase is recommended.
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (See 'A' below). It shuts down the gas to the
main burner in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a
blocked or disconnected chimney flue. If the flue is blocked
or has no "draw", the safety switch will automatically shut
off the supply of gas to the main burner within 10 minutes.
This switch must be manually reset by depressing
the plunger. Refer to Figure 2.
Tampering with the safety switch can result in carbon monoxide poisoning and possible death.
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (See 'A' below). It shuts down the gas to the
main burner in the unlikely event of the unit overheating.
The HI Limit switch will automatically reset after the unit

FRAMING
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 7-9.
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 theat
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
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.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch
recessed depth 22 inches
4. Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if
local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas valve
and the copper tubing or flex connector. DO NOT KINK
FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR. FIGURE 6.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
Do not use open flame.
FIGURE 7
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.

NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
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.
NAILING
TAB
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 12 a.
FIGURE11
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 12 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 12 c.
* Additional set screws may be installed.
MANTLE CLEARANCES
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.
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clearance needed. Figures 11 a & b.

LOG PLACEMENT
PHAZERTM logs and glowing 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 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.
FIGURES 19a-e
#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.

burner with the holes on the bottom of the logs.
3. Tear the glowing 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
5. Place the bottom of the right crossover log (#6) against
the right outermost grate post and the top into the pocket
provided on the center log (#5).
CHARCOAL EMBERS
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner. Fine
dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
VERMICULITE
Sprinkle vermiculite around the charcoal embers.
Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to
be placed on the burner.
CHARCOAL LUMPS
Place the lumps between the logs in a realistic manner
taking care not to block any of the burner ports.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
15 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run
for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace
has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the
output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings
causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to
prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with
the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty
policy.

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.
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. In both cases,
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 LIGHTING:
A. T his 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.
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 wa-
ter. 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
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

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

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.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE
BY A QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER!

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.
