GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION

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 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.

Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, install to the current standard
for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 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 Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 5OIA in the United
States.

FOR YOUR SA TISF ACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL­ITY! Maximum input is 45,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and

40,000BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence 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 36,900 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 82%
with the fan on, 78.4% with the fan off; and 33,200 BTU/hr
for propane at an efficiency of 83% with the fan on, 80%
with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization
Efficiency) rating is 64%.

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.

No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.

Expansion / contraction noises 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

Use only Napoleon 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.

When using Napoleon venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD-222R, or 1/12
TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD-110, 8/12 TO 12/
12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD-1 1 1, FLA T ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD-112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD-201 (for wall penetra­tion below grade) in conjunction with the various termina­tions, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD-220 or the 10 foot
vent kit GD-330 For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow the inst alla­tion procedure provided with the venting components.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. The maximum number of 4" flexible con­nections is four (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.

• All horizontal runs must have a
cases using Napoleon flexible venting components.

• Horizontal runs can have a 0 inch rise per foot using
Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon rigid venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all hori­zontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot using
rigid venting.

• 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.

• 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.

• Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics,
garages, crawl space) should be insulated with the insu­lation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize conden­sation.

• 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.

1 inch rise per foot in all

When terminating vertically, the
vertical rise is a minimum 36
inches and a maximum 40 feet

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot using

For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the venting instructions exactly.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION VERTICAL 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
square or round opening of 9".
(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. 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 stove.
Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required
clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed
in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe and the
firestop spacer.

rigid venting.

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 and
move the stove into po­sition. Cut and frame 9
inch openings in the
ceiling and the roof to
provide the minimum 1
inch clearance between
the stove pipe and any
combustible material.

FIGURE 13

DO NOT FILL THIS SP ACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MA TERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu-

lation, 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 stove. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is
installed in its final position, apply sealant between the
pipe and the firestop spacer.

3. In the attic, after the pipe
has been installed, 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.

FIGURE 12

Try to centre the ex­haust pipe location
midway between two

a plumb bob to line
up the centre of the
openings.

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.

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow
the venting instructions exactly.

* The vent system must be supported every 3 feet, for
both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support
W010-0370 or equivalent non-combustible strapping to
maintain the 1" clearance from combustibles as well as to
prevent sagging.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of
the high temperature sealant, supplied with the unit, 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.

2. 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.

3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and
secure the fireplace using the nailing tabs (2 per side)
and/or secure to the floor using #10 hex head screws (not
supplied). The liners should be flush with the exterior wall.

The air terminal may be recessed into the exterior wall
or siding by ½", the depth of the return flange.

4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature
sealant to the inside of both liners, approximately 1" from
the end of each liner.

5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, read­able position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion
to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the
liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).

FIGURE 15

6. If more than one length of liner needs to be used to
reach the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated.
Seal the joints using the same procedure as described in
points 2 and 3. The vent system must be supported every 3
feet, for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napoleon
support W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible strap­ping to maintain the 1" clearance from combustibles as
well as to prevent sagging.

FIGURE 16

VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1. Fasten the roof support
to the roof using the screws
provided. The roof support is
optional. The venting is to be
adequately supported using
either an alternate method
suitable to the authority hav­ing jurisdiction or the optional
roof support.

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 the 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.

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.

FIGURE 17

FIGURE 18

* All horizontal runs must have a 1 inch rise per foot.

W415-0100 / D / 01.13.04

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 sp acers must not be removed.

7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
follow the same procedure as found in HORIZONTAL AIR
TERMINAL INST ALLA TION. The vent system must be sup­ported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and hori­zontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring assembly
W010-0370 or equivalent noncombustible strapping to
maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles as
well as to prevent sagging.

FIGURE 19

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS

Vertical installations running longer than 10 feet may dis­play a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable,
remove the brick baffle from the firebox, exposing the flue
gas outlet openings. Bend the restrictor plates up (from
their normal opening of 45°) into the flue openings. Re­place the brick baffle. This reduces the velocity of the ex­haust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating
a more traditional gentle appearance. Specific instructions
are shown in "Trouble Shooting".

FIGURE 20

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 21

W415-0100 / D / 01.13.04

USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS

For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow the venting instructions exactly.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot

The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel
vent spacers W615-0033 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 1" clearance to
combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

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. Attach the first vent
component and secure using 3 self tapping screws. Re­peat using 7" piping.

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 may be recessed into the exterior

wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.

FIGURE 22

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION

1. Attach 4" and 7" elbows to the stove. Apply high tem­perature sealant and secure the joints with 3 screws.

2. Move the fireplace into position.

3. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws

provided. The roof support is optional. The venting is to be
adequately supported using either an alternate method
suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional
roof support.

4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of
the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 4" diameter cou­pler over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.

using rigid venting.

5. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 centred between
the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.
Tighten securely. Attach the rain cap.

9. 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.

10. Run a bead of high temperature 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.

11. 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.

FIGURE 23

6. 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
equivalent
terminal assembly as it is
passed through the attic. The air

terminal must be located
vertically and plumb.

INSTALLATION / FRAMING

INSTALLATION

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

Move the fireplace into position and secure using the nail­ing tabs (2 per side) and/or secure to the floor using #10
screws (not supplied).

FRAMING

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. To install the fireplace face flush with the fin­ished wall, position the framework to accommodate the
thickness of the finished wall. Pull out the four nailing tabs,
attached on either side of the fireplace and secure to the 2x4
framing to facilitate drywall installation.

FIGURE 24

13

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face­areas of the fireplace. Noncombustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
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 48" away from the front face.

MANTLE CLEARANCES & ENCLOSURES

Combustible mantle clearance
can vary according to the man­tle depth. Use the graph to help
evaluate the clearance needed.

FIGURE 25

= 22" IF VENTING IS HORIZONTAL

A

= 27½" IF VENTING IS VERTICAL

FIGURE 26

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.

FIGURE 27

FIGURES 28

1" clearance to combustibles from the vent pipe

must be maintained .

The U-channel may be removed if framing is faced with a
noncombustible material (cement board) (not supplied).

These same mantle clearance requirements apply to
any combustibles protruding on either side of the
fireplace.

MOBILE HOME 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 screws, inserted through the holes in
the base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace
be secured in all installations.
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.

GAS INSTALLATION

1. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L

copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.

2. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall
switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a conven­ient location. Route double 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

3. Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on
the gas valve.

Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas
valve to electricity (110 volts).

FIGURE 29

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.

FINISHING

BRICK PANEL INSTALLATION

1. Remove the two brick retainers located on either of the

firebox sides as illustrated.

2. Remove the protective plastic wrap from all four pan­els. Centre the rear brick panel against the back of the
firebox.

3. Tilt and insert the left brick panel against the left side
of the firebox, ensuring that it butts up to the rear panel.
Excess material may be trimmed with a utility knife. Secure
in place using a retainer bracket and 2 of the screws. Re­peat for the right side.

4. Slide the upper brick baffle into place over the side
brick panels.

When shipped, the brick panels range in colour from
white to varying shades of brown. During initial use,
the panels will darken temporarily and emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal condition that
will not occur again. Simply open a window to suffi­ciently ventilate the room. The appearance of the pan­els will permanently lighten in colour with use.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
10 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 and must be pre­vented 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

19

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

A. This 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 water .

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.

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 the gas line with the glass door open. assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing
the door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to
stabilize after ignition.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

• 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 fire de­partment.

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.

MAINTENANCE

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 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 44

FIGURE 45

Natural gas models have air shutters set at ¼ (.250") inch
open. Propane gas models have air shutters set at 3/8
(.375) inch open. 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

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 will not light. - check if pilot can be lit by a match

Pilot burning; no gas
to main burner; gas
knob is on 'HI'; wall
switch / thermostat is
on.

Pilot goes out while
standing; Main burner
is in 'OFF' position.

Main burner goes out;
pilot stays on.

System is not correctly purged.

Wall switch wiring is defective.

Main burner orifice is plugged. - remove stoppage in orifice.
Faulty valve.

Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters,

Pilot flame is not large enough or
not engulfing the thermopile

Thermopile shorting

Remote wall switch wire is too
long; too much resistance in the
system.

Faulty thermostat or switch.

- purge the gas line with the glass door open.

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

- check that the manual valve is turned on.

- check the pilot orifice for blockage.

- replace the valve.

- call the gas distributor.

- 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.

disconnected from fireplace.

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

Incorrect installation.
Aggressive venting action due

to vent height.

Unit is over-fired or under-fired.

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.

Wall switch is mounted upside
down

Remote wall switch is ground­ing.

on the terminal and should be removed as required.

- refer to Figure 16 to ensure correct location of storm collars.

- Restrict vent exit. See "RESTICTING VERTICAL VENTS".

- VENT HEIGHT LESS THAN 10 FEET: close air shutter slightly to
reduce primary air.

- VENT HEIGHT 10 TO 20 FEET: close restrictor plate by 2/3 (to 30°
open) from the normal factory setting.

- VENT HEIGHT MORE THAN 20 FEET: close restrictor plate com­pletely from normal factory setting.

- 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 foor has been adhered to for any
horizontal venting.

- clean the glass with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT.

If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.

- check door seal and relief flap seal.

- check for chimney blockage

- check that chimney is installed to building code.

- room is in negative pressure; increase fresh air supply.

- reverse.

- replace.

- check for ground (short); repair ground or replace wire.
