GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

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 the GE38 to the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/
CGA B149, Installation Codes. 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.

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 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL­ITY! Maximum input is 26,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and

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 22,360 BTU/hr at an
efficiency of 86% with the fan on, and 22,880 BTU/hr for
propane at an efficiency of 88% with the fan on. The maxi­mum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is
64% for natural gas and 65% for propane.

W415-0429 / C / 11.04.05

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. The natural gas model can only be installed in a
mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
fueled with natural gas.

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.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The GE38 is factory equipped with
ceramic glass for both the firebox front and back panels. The
glass thickness is 3/16". Use only replacement glass
available from your Napoleon 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.

Use only accessories designed for and listed with

your specific fireplace.

Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate
accessibility clearance for servicing and operating
the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of
the fireplace.

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.

Provide a means for visually checking the vent con­nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.

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

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept
a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the
unit.

FIGURE 1

VENTING LENGTHS

Use only Wolf Steel 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. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com­ponents.

When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap­proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol­lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD210, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD211, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD212 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD230.

Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not
be combined.

Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting systems

must not be combined.

These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3a, & 5a. The maximum allow-
able horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable ver­tical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud­ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.

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.

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.

Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.

6" inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7"
diameter flexible liner.

For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using
Napoleon flexible vent components.

A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk
or paved driveway which is located between two sin­gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local
codes or regulations may require different clearances.

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen­etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.

Minimum clearance to combustible con­struction from fireplace and vent sur­faces:

fireplace framing - 0" to stand-offs (top, rear and sides)
fireplace finishing - 0" to sides, 3" to top of unit
vent pipe - 1 inch
recessed depth - 17½" inches

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using SIMPSON DURA-VENT or NAPOLEON
RIGID OR FLEXIBLE venting components when vent­ing as illustrated in Figures 3, and 4.

Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the
vent pipe is required.

INSTALLATION

WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION

FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE,
FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

NOTE: Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all
around the vent pipe is required.

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 opening as
required. See Note above. (As an
alternative to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensuring
a 1" clearance to
combustibles. See

Figure 16.)

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 / liner. (See note above). Do not fill
this cavity with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulk-

ing all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent
shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or
around the fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield
maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once
the vent pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply
sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

FIGURE 15

OR

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, cut
and frame 10 inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to
provide the minimum 1 inch clearance between the fire­place pipe / liner 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. A vent pipe shield will prevent any
materials such as insulation, 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. FIGURE 18. 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 fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain
the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe
/ liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant be­tween the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

"Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the
stamp only on the 7” outer liner.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

FIGURE 19

1. Cut or frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum
round or square opening listed on page 5. Secure the
firestop spacer over the opening to the interior wall.

2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Slip the liner a mini­mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and
secure with 3 #8 screws. Apply a heavy bead of the high
temperature sealant.

3. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminum liner, slide
over the outer combustion air sleeve of the air terminal and
secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal as before.

4. Insert the liners through the firestop maintaining the
required clearance to combustibles. Holding the air termi­nal (lettering in an upright, readable position), secure to
the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with
caulking (not supplied).

5. 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.

6. 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.

EXTENDED HORIZONTAL

AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

Use the GD220 vent kit and couplers for this application.
If more than one length of liner needs to be used to reach

the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated in
FIGURE 20. Seal the joints using the same procedure as
described in points 2 and 3. The vent system must be sup­ported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and hori­zontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring assemblies, or
equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the mini­mum 1" clearance to combustibles as well as to prevent
sagging.

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 spacers must not be removed.

FIGURE 20

VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1. Fasten the roof support to
the roof using the screws pro­vided. FIGURE 21. 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. 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 flexible aluminium 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
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.
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 centered between
the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air termi­nal. Tighten securely. FIGURE 23. 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 8"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.

FIGURE 23

7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
follow the same procedure as found in EXTENDED HORI-
ZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION. The vent system
must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both ver­tical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring as­sembly or equivalent noncombustible strapping to main­tain a clearance to combustibles.

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. FIGURE 24.

2. Install the 7 inch diameter aluminium flexible liner to
the fireplace. Attach and seal the joints.

FIGURE 24

USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS

The vent system must be supported approximately every 3
feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel
vent spacers 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 or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the
minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and
horizontal runs.

HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

FIGURE 25

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.

W415-0429 / C / 11.04.05

3. Holding the air terminal (with the air deflectors to the
top), 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 mounting plate may be recessed into the
exterior wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.

EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND CORNER

AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In­stallations", items 1 to 3.

2. Continue adding components alternating inner and
outer venting. Ensure that all 4" venting and elbows have
sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is
securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4" telescopic
sleeve to the vent run.

Repeat using a 7" tel­escopic sleeve. Secure
and seal as before. To
facilitate completion, at­tach 5" and 8" couplers
to the air terminal.

3. Install the air terminal. See item 3 of
the Horizontal Air Terminal Installation.

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.

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

Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.

After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.

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. FIGURES 31-33.

FIGURE 31

FIGURE 32

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.

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.

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.

A non-combustible finishing material must be used for a
minimum of 3" above the fireplace

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
sides of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past
any of the black face-side-areas of the fireplace. Non-com­bustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may pro­trude in these areas.

NAILING TABS

To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to accommodate the thickness of
the finished wall. Bend out the four nailing tabs, attached on
either side of the fireplace and secure to the 2x4 framing. The
tabs will facilitate the installation of either a
wall thickness.The nailing tabs must not be removed.

MANTLE CLEARANCES & ENCLOSURES

Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear­ance needed. Curtains, above the fireplace, must not be
positioned lower than the 3" distance required for the 3"
combustible mantle. These same requirements apply to

any combustibles protruding on either side of the fire­place.

LOG PLACEMENT

PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon Fire-

places, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is
different in every installation. Take the time to carefully po­sition the glowing embers for a maximum glowing effect.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fireplace,
the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments
burn in during the heat activated curing process.

CHARCOAL EMBERS

Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner. Fine

dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.

GLOWING EMBERS

Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges
of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only

glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care
should be taken to not block the burner ports.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo­leon dealer.

GLOWING CRYSTAL EMBERS

Place the glowing crystal embers along the front of the log
support on the glass only. Make sure the glowing crystal
embers don't block the gap between the burner and the
glass.

DO NOT PLACE GLOWING CRYSTAL EMBERS

ON THE BURNER.

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.

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.

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.

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed

slightly.

1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.

2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.

3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.

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

including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety

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. In both cases,
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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

O

• 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.

information on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.

5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.

6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the

pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.

7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock­wise to on.

8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main
burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote
switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.

9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.

TO TURN OFF GAS

1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is
to be performed.

MAINTENANCE

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. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to off. Do not force.

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 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 Continental dealer / distributor.

7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
