GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS STOVE 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 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 St ates. 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 re­installing 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 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United S tates. The blower power cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
GENERAL INFORMATION
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 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. When the valve is set to "HI", the manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for 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.
W415-0158 / E / 02.19.04
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evi­dent in natural gas than in propane. 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. (See page 14). This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

LOCATION & CLEARANCES
5
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing
and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
GDS60 AND GS60
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.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL GDS60
VENTING LENGTHS &
AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
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. Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting components may have a 0" rise per foot on horizontal runs.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' 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 GD1 12 or S TOVE PERISCOPE KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-
tion with the appropriate venting components.
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 two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the stove and the air terminal connections). When terminating vertically, the minimum vertical rise is 34 inches 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.
For optimum flame appearance and stove 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. The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90o elbow located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 5.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise immediately above the stove is 20 feet . FIGURES 6a & b.
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES ARE NECES­SARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN.
FIGURE 4
FIGURE 5
FIGS 6a-b
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for vertical rises between 29 and 57 inches. When calculating maximum run lengths, include 5 feet for each 90° or 45° elbow. (DO NOT INCLUDE THE FIRST ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE UNIT.)

SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal offset is required in a through-the-roof installation, the following procedure for vent length calcula­tions must be followed:
In an installation as shown in FIGURES 9 & 12, lengths A and C are known based on room height and roof require­ments.
Length C must never be less than 29 inches. Any 90° and 45° elbows must be calculated as 5 feet of venting each.
The allowable horizontal run can be calculated using these parameters. In this example, the total vertical height is 20 feet (length "A" is required to be 11 feet while length "C" needs to be 9 feet). The maximum vertical length is 40 feet and all runs and elbows must be sub­tracted from this maximum vertical length.
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "B" can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)
-11 ft. (through the roof vertical rise "A")
-10 ft. (2 - 90° elbow)
- 9 ft. (vertical run "C") 10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")
The length of "B" must never be greater than the length of "A" and "C" combined.
FIGURE 9
OFFSET INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
FIGURE 10
If a first run of 120 inches is re­quired, using the "First Vent Run" on the chart shows that a maxi-
mum second run of 60 inches
is allowable.
IF NECESSARY, THE FIRST RUN AND THE SECOND RUN MAY BE REVERSED.
FIGURE 11
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "A" in Figure 13 can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)
- 7 ft. (horizontal run "B")
33 ft. (maximum allowable vertical length for "A")
