GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
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 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.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Altitudes
greater than 4,000 ft. require a minimum vent run of 12 ft.
The heater 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 ½ 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 ½ 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 fireplace.
This fireplace must be connected to any accepted lined chimney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL-1777 (in USA). The venting connection must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.
The draft hood must be installed so that it is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the fireplace.
This heater can be installed two different ways. If installed as is, it must be recessed into a vented noncombustible woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only. This is referred to as an INSERT type of installation.
The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be installed is: HEIGHT 21 inches
WIDTH 26½ inches DEPTH 17½ inches
If installed in conjunction with kit #GI-700, it may be framed into an enclosure made of combustible materials. This is referred to as a ZERO CLEARANCE type of installation. This heater may only be installed in the GI-700 when using the glass front kit, GI-FF, as well as one louvre kit, GI-LPB, GI-LAB, GI-LG or GI-LK. The minimum clearance to combustible construction in this form of installation is:
MANTLE HEIGHT* |
7 inches** |
SIDES, BACK, BOTTOM & TOP |
0 inches |
B-VENT |
1 inch |
RECESSED DEPTH |
18½ inches |
* MEASUREMENTS TAKEN FROM KIT STANDOFFS. SEE KIT INSTRUCTIONS
**MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL EXTENSION IS 6 INCHES.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
W415-0171/D/01.06.04
The fireplace, when installed, 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.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500 ft., 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 1,000 ft. Maximum output for natural gas is 22,800 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 76% with the fan on, 72% with the fan off; and 18,240 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 76% with the fan on, 71% with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E.(Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating is 64% for both natural and propane gas. Where the fireplace has been factory equipped for hi-altitude, the input has been downrated by 10%. This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation.
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.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas than in propane. The self generating pilot provides current for a remote burner On-Off switch.

CARE OF GLASS, ENAMELLED AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. Porcelain enamelled components must be handled with care. The baked-on finish is glasslike. If struck, it will chip! Touch-up paint is available through your Napoleon dealer.
The glass is 3/16" ceramic 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.
INSTALLATION
FIGURE2
Clean out the ashes from the inside of the woodburning fireplace. Make sure that the chimney and woodburning fireplace are in clean and sound condition. Do not remove bricks or mortar from the masonry fireplace. If necessary have any repair work done by a qualified person before installing the insert. Remove the existing fireplace damper or lock into an open position. Line the chimney with a 4 inch diameter approved liner. Pack insulation around the liner in the damper area to prevent air flow from entering the chimney. Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The liner must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney cap.
FIGURE3
Remove the securing screw from the front of the dilution plate. Push the dilution hood out of its securing clip and attach the liner using 3 screws equally spaced. Move the insert into the centre of the woodburning fireplace making sure that the dilution draft hood inserts back into its securing clip. Level using the four levelling screws located front and back on either side of the fireplace base.
FIGURE4
Levelling the insert will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Replace the securing screw to the front of the dilution plate.
FIGURE5
Install rigid black pipe, a flex connector, if local codes permit, or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter and a shut off valve to the fireplace. Seal and tighten securely. The adapter will be required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex connector.
Do not damage or kink flex connector!
Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
Do not use open flame!
An on/off switch has been included and can be located at the lower right, behind the louvre access door or at the right side trim.
For ease of accessibility, this switch may be replaced with a wall switch or substituted with a millivolt thermostat that may be installed in a convenient location on any wall. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom right side of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire size:
