for: over-ﬁ ring, downdrafts, spillage caused by environmental conditions such as rooftops, buildings, nearby trees, hills, mountains, inadequate vents or ventilation, excessive venting

conﬁ gurations, insufﬁ cient makeup air, or negative air pressures which may or may not be caused by mechanical systems such as exhaust fans, furnaces, clothes dryers, etc.

Any damages to ﬁ replace, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, brass trim or other component due to water, weather damage, long periods of dampness, condensation, damag-

ing chemicals or cleaners will not be the responsibility of NAPOLEON.

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE INSERT

HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION

AND QUALITY!

Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-

umn for natural gas and 1 1 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 ﬂ ow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for

natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane. When

the ﬁ replace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the

absence of speciﬁ c recommendations from the local authority

having jurisdiction, the certiﬁ ed high altitude input rating shall

be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling

down cycles are normal and to be expected.

Maximum input is 24,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane.

Maximum output for natural gas and propane is 20,400 BTU/

hr at an efﬁ ciency of 85% with the fan on. Maximum A.F.U.E.

(annual fuel utilization efﬁ ciency) rating is 79 % for natural gas

and propane. This ﬁ replace insert is not approved for closet or

recessed installations. It is approved for bathroom, bedroom

and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile

homes. The natural gas model is suitable for installation in a

mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and

fuelled with natural gas.

This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombustible

wood-burning ﬁ replace (prefabricated or masonry) only. The

minimum ﬁ replace opening size in which the heater is to be

installed is:

HEIGHT 14½ inches

WIDTH 25 inches

DEPTH 11 inches

The minimum allowable chimney ﬂ ue size is 6" round.

The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible

mantle projecting 3" maximum from the wall to the top of the

aluminium trim, is 3".

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly

with a clean dry cloth.

The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass available from your Napoleon

/ Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MA TERIALS.

Clean the glass after the ﬁ rst 10 hours of operation with a

recommended gas ﬁ replace 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.

THIS GAS FIREPLACE INSERT 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 speciﬁ cs that apply

to your area,

for example: in Massachusetts State:

• The ﬁ replace damper must be removed or welded in the open

position prior to installation of a ﬁ replace insert or gas log.

• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

• The ﬂ exible 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 ﬁ tter when installed within the commonwealth of

Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-

B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 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 construc-

tion and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the

Fire Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations,

Sites and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the

United States.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the ﬁ replace insert

opened. Assure that a continuous gas ﬂ ow is at the burner

before closing the door.

Under extreme vent conﬁ gurations, allow several minutes

(5-15) for the ﬂ ame to stabilize after ignition.

The ﬁ replace insert 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 ﬁ replace insert 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).

A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,

must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply

connection to the ﬁ replace insert.

The fireplace insert must be electrically connected and

grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of

local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELEC-

TRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 NA-

TIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States. The blower

power cord must be connected into a properly grounded

receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from

the cord plug.

FIGURES 1a-c

Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning ﬁ replace.

Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning ﬁ replace

are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-

combustible materials. If necessary have any repair work done

by a qualiﬁ ed person before installing the insert. Remove the

existing ﬁ replace damper or lock into an open position.

Using screws, attach the ﬁ replace warning tag (W385-0199)

to the inside of the ﬁ rebox of the ﬁ replace into which the insert

is being installed.

The sheet-metal parts of the ﬁ replace, in which the gas ﬁ re-

place insert is to be installed, must not be cut.

If the wood-burning factory-built ﬁ replace has no gas access

hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be

drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the ﬁ replace in

a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be

plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply

line has been installed.

Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts ﬁ t properly .

The refractory , glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log

grates may be removed from the ﬁ replace before installing

the gas ﬁ replace insert.

Smoke shelves, shields and bafﬂ es may be removed if at-

tached by mechanical fasteners.

The ventilation openings in the ﬁ replace may be obstructed

by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are

not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.
