15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a ¼ inch rise
per foot.
Objects placed in front of the stove must be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

The stove 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
stove 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
The stove, when installed with a blower, 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. The blower power cord
must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The
grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool­ing down cycles are normal and to be expected.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use
with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

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 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.

LOCATION & CLEARANCES

Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing

and operating the stove.

Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.

GDS20

As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the
required distances, the most desirable and beneficial lo­cation for a Napoleon stove is in the centre of a building,
thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created.
The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the
room where the stove is to be located should be consid­ered. If possible, you should choose a location where the
vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or
roof joist.

FIGURE 1

*AT A DISTANCE OF 2" FROM THE WALL, INSTALLATION OR SERV-

ICE TO THE BLOWER MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL. A MINIMUM OF 5"
WILL BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE BLOWER.

VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS &

AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct
Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components.

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American
Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided
with the venting components.

All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be
sealed using Red RTV High Temperature Sealant.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.

A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased
from the corresponding supplier:

Supplier GAS STOVE

Duravent GDS924N
Amerivent 4DSCB-N1
Direct Temp 4DT-AAN

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust
flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant
maybe 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 fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high tempera­ture sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must be
ordered separately.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of
venting included), WALL TERMINAL KIT GD176 (24" of vent-
ing included), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT

GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT

• For optimum flame appearance and stove performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a mini
mum.

• 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.

The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise
immediately above the stove is 20 feet . FIGURES 6a-b.

FIGURE 5

FIGS 6a-b

HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO
EXCEED VERTICAL RISE

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

• These vent kits allow for
either horizontal or vertical
venting of the stove.

• The maximum number of
4" flexible connections
is 3 horizontally or three
vertically (excluding the
stove and the air terminal
connections).

• When terminating
vertically, the minimum

vertical rise is 3 feet
above the stove and the
maximum vertical rise is
40 feet. FIGURE 4.

Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can

create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.

Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping

to the stove for ease of installation.

position. Refer to Restricting Vertical Vents.

FIGURES 3 a-c

SPECIAL VENT INSTALLATIONS

PERISCOPE TERMINATION

Use the GD201 periscope kit to locate the air termination
above grade. The periscope must be installed so that when
final grading is completed, the bottom air slot is located a
minimum of 12 inches above grade. The maximum allow­able vent length depends on the fireplace, as illustrated.

FIGURE 16

HORIZONTAL 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 rectangle
opening of 10" x 9".

IMPORTANT: FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, THE STOVE PIPE
SHOULD RISE ¼" PER FOOT OF RUN.

1. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using

the 3 shorter screws supplied.

The shield is meant to protect combustible materials
within the wall. If the shield is deeper than the combustible
portion of the wall, cut to fit.

2. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place the
firestop spacer over the framework 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. Secure the spacer in place using the 4 longer
screws supplied. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final
position, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop
spacer.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

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" x 10" openings in the ceiling
and the roof to provide the minimum 1 inch clearance be­tween the stove pipe and any combustible material. Try to
center the exhaust pipe location midway between two joist
to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up
the center of the openings.

DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

FIGURE 18

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 17

HORIZONTAL VENTING INSTALLATION

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE

STOVE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

EXACTLY.

FOR HORIZONTAL RUNS, BOTH WOLF STEEL AND

SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING COMPONENTS MAY

HAVE A 0" RISE PER FOOT.

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE IT IS RECOM-

MENDED THAT ALL HORIZONTAL RUNS HAVE A

MINIMUM ¼ INCH RISE PER FOOT.

ALL INNER EXHAUST AND OUTER INTAKE VENT

PIPE JOINTS MAY BE SEALED USING EITHER RED

RTV HIGH TEMP SILICONE SEALANT OR BLACK
HIGH TEMP MILL PAC WITH THE EXCEPTION OF

THE FIREPLACE EXHAUST FLUE COLLAR WHICH

MUST BE SEALED USING MILL PAC (NOT

SUPPLIED).

1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the

required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface.

Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at predeter­mined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer
stove pipe. These spacers must not be removed.
Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a mini­mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Secure
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
heads using the high temperature sealant.

2. Slip the first section of 7" diameter stove pipe a mini-

mum of 2" over the outer sleeve of the air terminal. Secure
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
heads using high temperature sealant.

3. Insert the liners through the firestop / vent pipe shield.

Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable
position), secure to the exterior wall. Make weather tight by
sealing with caulking (not supplied). The air terminal mount­ing plate may be recessed (up to 1½" maximum) into the
exterior wall or siding.

FIGURE 20

FIGURE 21

W415-0496 / B / 08.10.05

4. If more than one length of liner needs to be used to

reach the stove, couple them together as illustrated in
FIGURE 24. Seal the joints using the same procedure as
described above.

The vent system must be supported approximately every
10 feet along a horizontal run. Use supports or equivalent
non-combustible strapping to maintain the 1" clearance
from combustibles.

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION

1. Fasten the roof

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

2. Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a

minimum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal.

FIGURE 23

3. 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. The
air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.

4. 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.

FIGURE 24

Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash­ing with roofing material.

5. 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 centered between the air intake and
air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely.

6. Attach the vertical rain cap.

Secure to the sleeve using 3 screws
and flat washers. Seal the joint and
screw heads using high temperature
sealant. Repeat using a 7" diameter
length of rigid piping.

If the attic space is tight, we rec­ommend adding sufficient lengths
of 7" rigid piping, secured and
sealed as necessary.

FIGURE 22

Ensure that the air
terminal is properly
centered 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.

7. 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 2" air
space around the pipe.

STOVE VENT CONNECTION

1. Attach the adjustable pipe to the last

section of rigid piping. Secure with screws
and seal.

2. Install the 4" aluminium flex-

ible liner to the stove. Secure
with 3 screws and flat wash­ers. Seal the joint and screw
holes using high tempera­ture sealant.

3. Run a bead of high tem-

perature sealant Mill Pac
around the inside of the air
intake collar. Pull the adjust­able pipe a minimum 2" into
the air intake collar.

ENSURE THAT THE SEALANT IS NOT VISIBLE ON THE
EXTERIOR PIPES ONCE INSTALLATION IS COM­PLETED. AN OPTIONAL DECORATIVE BRASS BAND
IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS USE. (STANDARD WITH A
GD175 KIT AND GD-176). IN THE EVENT THAT THE
VENTING MUST BE DISASSEMBLED, CARE MUST BE
TAKEN TO RESEAL THE VENTING.

a shut-off valve to the stove.

2. Seal and tighten the gas line securely to a flex connector.

FIGURE 28

DO NOT KINK FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR.

3. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.

FIGURE 29

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

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.

For mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fas­tened in place. It is recommended that the fireplace be
secured in all installations. Use the levelling/securing kit,
GDSLL-KT for this purpose.

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS

FIGURE 27

RESTRICTOR

SHOWN IN A FULLY

OPEN POSITION

For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient
location. Route 2 strand solid core millivolt wire from
the gas stove to the wall switch / millivolt thermostat.
The recommended maximum lead length depends on
the wire size: WIRE SIZE MAX. LENGTH

14gauge 100 feet
16gauge 60 feet
18gauge 40 feet

Disconnect the existing wires from terminals 1 and 3 (from
the on/off switch) and replace with the leads from the wall
switch/millivolt thermostat.

Vertical installations may display a very active flame.
Loosen the two screws and slide the restrictor plate
blocking the exhaust path. This reduces the velocity of the
exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creat­ing a more traditional flame appearance. For vertical vents
greater than 15 feet, this restrictor must be fully closed.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

Purge all gas lines with the glass door removed. Assure
that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing
the door.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the
top right corner on model GDS20.

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING: if you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may

result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame

to stabilize after ignition.

Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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 burning off. Open a window to sufficiently
ventilate the room.

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.

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 de
partment.

C. Use only your hand to push in or 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.

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 before attempting to
re-light.

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from PILOT to OFF unless the knob is depressed.

1. STOP! Read the safety information on the operating
label.

2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.

3. Turn the gas knob clockwise

4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell

gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow "B" on the op­erating label. If you don't smell gas go to the next step.

to off.

5. Find pilot located under the left side of the back log.

6. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise

7. Depress and hold the gas knob while lighting the pilot

with the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed
for one minute, then release. If the pilot does not con­tinue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 6.

8. With the pilot lit (check pilot indicator light), turn the
gas knob counter-clockwise to on.

9. If equipped with a remote ON-OFF switch, main burner
may not come on when you turn the valve to ON. The
remote switch must be in the ON position to ignite the
burner.

MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG

ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING

THE STOVE!

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv­icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan­gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This stove 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 assem-

bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.

ADJUSTMENTS

21

2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut-

ter 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 flames are large enough to

engulf the thermocouple and the thermopile 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 miss-

ing. Replace if necessary.

PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

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

FIGURE 34

FIGURE 35

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

Remove the 2 screws securing the burner. Natural gas
models have air shutters set to 0.125" open (1/8"). Pro­pane models have air shutters set to 0.250" open (1/4").
After making adjustments replace the burner ensuring that
the venturi tube fits over the orifice and replace the screws.

ORIFICE REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the cast front and the door, see Cast Front and
Glass Door Removal in the FINISHING section of this

manual.

2. Remove the 2 securing screws indicated and remove
the burner assembly.

3. The orifice is located on the left hand side.

4. Reinstall the burner ensuring that the venturi tube fits

over the orifice and replace the screws.
Care should be taken not to damage the gas pipe. When

removing and replacing the orifice, using a 9/16" socket
wrench, a 7/8" back-up wrench must be used on the mani­fold, located below the housing, to ensure that the
aluminium tubing does not twist or kink.

FIGURE 37

FIGURE 36

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. The flame may not appear
yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final
flame colour to be established.
