For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high
temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints of all
other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the fi replace fl ue collar which must be sealed
using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / fl exible 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 TERMINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration below grade).
With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD220 or the 10 foot vent
kit GD330.
For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace 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.
Wolf Steel rigid and fl exible venting systems must not be combined.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fi replace. 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 fi replace and the air terminal connections) when using fl exible vent pipe.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a 1" rise per foot.

VENT INSTALLATIONS
For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the venting instructions exactly.
Deviation from the minimum or maximum vertical vent length can create diffi culty in burner start-up and/or
carboning.
Under extreme vent confi gurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the fl ame to stabilize after ignition.
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.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fi replace after the fi replace is installed.
Use a fi restop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or ceiling.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
GD36 FIRESTOP SLEEVE ASSEMBLY
1. Assemble the two halves of the vent sleeve by aligning the holes that come
together to make a rectangular shape (lip to the outside). Secure using 6 of the
screws supplied in the manual baggie.
NOTE: SCREWS NOT REQUIRED IN TWO BLIND HOLES. See Figure 24.
2. Fit the fi restop spacer into one end of the vent sleeve and secure through
the aligned holes on the top, bottom, and sides with the remaining 5 screws
supplied.
If fl exible venting is to be used remove the rigid fi restop spacer. The remaining
hole is sized for fl exible venting.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having
determined the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the
exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high to accommodate the fi restop
sleeve assembly.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP SLEEVE ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED
WITH THE 2" CLEARANCE TO THE TOP.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible
walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend
the full depth of the combustible wall.
1. Insert the fi restop sleeve assembly into the wall, mark the wall
depth and trim the vent sleeve to suit. The screws that secure the
vent sleeve may need to be repositioned to ensure a rigid assembly
is maintained. Figure 25.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the inside surface of the
fi restop fl ange and secure the assembly to the wall. (Ensure that the
rectangular shaped assembly is installed
to maintain 2" from the top of the vent).

BGD36 FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY
Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11
3/8" high to accommodate the fi restop assembly. Dry fi t the fi restop assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets on
the rear surface fi t within the horizontal framing.
The fi restop spacer and shield do not limit the thickness of a wall. For wall construction when using less than 2" x 6" framing
the shield must be cut to suit.
As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe/liner can be enclosed in the wall using
Napoleon® vent sleeve VS47KT.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE
INSTALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for
combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but in
these cases the vent shield must extend the full depth of
the combustible wall.
1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the
outer edge of the inside surface of the fi restop assembly, fi t the fi restop assembly to the hole and secure using the
4 screws W570-0026 (supplied in your manual baggie).
2. Once the vent pipe liner is installed in its fi nal position, apply high temperature
sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between the pipe / liner, and the fi restop.
This restricts cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fi replace.
NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY BETWEEN THE PIPE / LINER, FIRESTOP
SLEEVE, AND THE FRAME WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

the vent pipe is installed in its fi nal position, apply sealant
between the pipe and the fi restop assembly.
3. 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 fi lling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a 9½" square opening in the ceiling and the roof
to provide the minimum clearance between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center
the vent pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to
line up the center of the openings.
Do not fi ll this space with any type of material.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insulation, from fi lling
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 fi nished ceiling), and secure over the
opening in the ceiling. A fi restop 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
fi restop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the

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 53a.
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 53b.
2. To determine the fi nal location of the nailing tab
you must fi rst determine the thickness of your fi nishing
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*.

2. Move the two small logs (#2 & #3) into position, lining up
the studs located on the burner with the holes on the bottom
of the logs. Ensure that the small logs sit fl at on the burner.
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 fi rebox back to facilitate combustion air fl ow. Ensure that the back of the log rests
against the brackets on the back wall of the
fi rebox.
5. Place the bottom of the right crossover log (#6) against
the right fi rebox side and pulled forward to the grate. The top
of the log should rest in 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 (MODEL GD36 ONLY)
Sprinkle vermiculite around the charcoal embers.
Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to
be placed on the burner.
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 fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow
when exposed to direct fl ame; however, care should be
taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napoleon
dealer.

OPERATION
!
WARNING
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace removed. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner before installing
the door. When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit an odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused
by the "burn-in" of 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 fi replace 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 suf-
fi ciently ventilate the room.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
A. This fi replace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand
while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the fi replace area for gas and
next to the fl oor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the fl oor.
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 qualifi ed service technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fi re or explosion.
D. Do not use this fi replace if any part has been under water. Im-
mediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the fi replace
and replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
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 fi replace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait fi ve (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas includ-
ing near the fl oor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety information
on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• Turn off all gas to the fi replace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• 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
fi re department.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot with
the push button igniter. 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-clock-wise 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.

TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fi replace if service is to be
performed.
TURN THE CONTROL VALVE TO THE OFF POSITION WHEN HEATER IS NOT IN USE.
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 fi replace and its venting
system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a
qualifi ed service person. The fi replace area must be kept clear and
free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours
and liquids. The fl ow 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.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do
not force.
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 fl ame 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 open-
ings 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.
8. If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled,
re-install and re-seal per the instructions provided for the initial
installation.
