located as follows: two are on either side of the circulation
blower on the rear panel; four are located front and back on
either side beneath the log support. Level using four of the levelling screws. See Figure 1a. Levelling the unit will eliminate
rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once
the unit is level, move it partially into place within the fi replace
to allow for all connections to be made. It is not practical to
level the insert once the it has been installed. Determine the
required depth prior to installing the unit and adjust the four
levelling screws accordingly.
CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Chimney installation must conform to both national and local
code requirements. The chimney must be lined with one 2"
or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for
exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent lengths are 10 and
35 feet respectively . Recommended Napoleon kits come in 3
lengths: While the liners must be continuous from the fi replace
to the terminal, to achieve the needed length, they may be
coupled, using an aluminium coupler, provided installation is
sealed & secured.

We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces, such as a garage or attic, be wrapped in a
protective sleeve to minimize condensation and reverse fl ow
symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and
a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, however, it is
recommended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it is necessary to adjust the
primary air shutter. See "Air Shutter Settings" on page 11.

In order to close off the fi replace opening or if the opening is
larger than the 3- or 4-sided aluminium extrusion trim kits, it is
recommended to reduce the opening using a noncombustible
material such as ceramic tile, marble, etc or the GIZBP6-3 or
GIZBP6-4 backer plate kits. The outside edge of the backer
plate is fi nished off with gold trim included in each kit. A
deluxe fl ashing kit complete with marquis trim may also be
used to complete the installation. These fl ashing and trim
combinations are available in 6 and 9 inch widths as well as
many fi nishes to accent any room decor. Mounting brackets,
GIZBRKT, are required to install the deluxe fl ashing. Detailed
installation instructions are included with each kit.
If this unit is being installed into an existing wood burning,
zero clearance fi replace, then be aware of this precaution:
Any circulation air opening may be covered (with noncombustible material) but not sealed!

MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRICAL
POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE INSERT!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This insert
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 exposing 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.
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 on one leg and reaches toward the burner
on the other leg.
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 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition
takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer/distributor.
7. Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing.
Replace if necessary.

5. Replace the blower using the existing bracket. Slide the
vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and up against the
threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower must be able
to be positioned entirely onto the pad.
Slide the blower into the clip (C). Secure to the threaded stud
using the existing lock washer and wing nut. Ensure that the
blower does not touch the fi replace base or the fi rebox.
6. Reconnect the two wires. Holding the replacement gasket
in place, reattach the blower access door and panel. Replace
the logs. Re-install the fi re viewing door.
7. Turn the gas supply and electricity back on.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 5-15 minutes after lighting the fi replace insert and will run for
approximately 30-45 minutes after the fi replace insert
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.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and
a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, however, it is
recommended to use two 3" liners.
Air shutter settings will differ depending on the liner system
used. Use the charts below to determine the correct air shutter setting:
NG 1/16"
LP 3/16"
AIR SHUTTER SETTING
NG 1/8"
LP 5/16"
AIR SHUTTER SETTING
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow fl ame, but can
lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more
blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame lifting from the burner ports.
The fl ame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30
minutes for the fi nal fl ame colour to be established.

VENT RESTRICTION
Some vent confi gurations may display a very active fl ame.
If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit may be restricted using the restrictor plate shown in FIGURE 6b. Bend
the fl ap up as shown to reduce the velocity of the exhaust
gases, slowing down the fl ame pattern and creating a more
traditional appearance.
FIGURE 29
Air shutter adjustment
must only be done by a

A mirror will let you see the opening
of the air shutter without removing the
burner. Scribe a line along the venturi
tube and air shutter cap. Open or close
according to the original opening by using the scribed line as your datum.
