GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION
THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INST ALLED 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 construction 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 stove removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before re-installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) 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.
5
The blower power cord must be connected into a properly
grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN TESTFIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column
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. When the valve
is set to "HI", the 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 eleva-
tions above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specifi c recom-
mendations 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.
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 certifi ed 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

as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the
glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result.
GDS25: Maximum input is 24,500 BTU/hr for natural gas.
Maximum output for natural gas is 19,600 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 80%. Maximum input is 23,000 BTU/hr for propane.

LOCATION & CLEARANCES
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for
servicing and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
*AT A DISTANCE OF 2" FROM THE WALL, INSTALLATION OR SERVICE
TO THE BLOWER MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL. A MINIMUM OF 5" WILL
BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE BLOWER.
STOVE DIMENSIONS
FIGURE 1
171/2"
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and benefi cial location
for a Napoleon stove is in the centre of a building, thereby
allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The loca-
tion of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow 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 fl oor or roof joist.

VENTING
VENTING LENGTHS &
AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct T emp
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:
PART SUPPLIER
Duravent - GDS924N Wolf Steel
Amerivent - 4DSCB-N1 American Metal
Direct Temp - 4DT-AAN Selkirk
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 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 fi replace fl ue 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
venting included), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111,
FLA T ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 or STOVE PERISCOPE
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction
with the appropriate venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a
minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
9
• For optimum fl ame 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
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO
EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
FIGS 6a-b
TYPICAL CORNER INSTALL

• These vent kits allow for
either horizontal or vertical
venting of the stove.
• The maximum number of
4" fl exible 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 diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the fi nal length of rigid
piping to the stove for ease of installation.
