NAPOLEON gas fireplaces are manufactured under the strict Standard of the world recognized ISO 9001 : 2000 Quality Assurance Certificate. NAPOLEON products are designed with superior components and materials, assembled by trained craftsmen who take great pride in their work. The burner and valve assembly are leak and test-fired at a quality test station.
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.
FIGURE 1 VENTING 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.

INSTALLATION WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE, FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. A HEAT SHIELD MUST BE USED IF THE WALL TERMINAL IS INSTALLED ON COMBUSTIBLE, EXTERIOR SURFACES. 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.
USING FLEXIBLE VENT COMPONENTS Use only approved aluminum flexible liner kits marked: "Wolf Steel Approved Venting" as identified by the stamp only on the 8” outer liner. HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION Use the GD420 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.
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. FIGURE 23 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.
VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION GAS INSTALLATION 1. Move the fireplace into position. 2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. FIGURE 22. 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. 3. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of the inner sleeve of the air terminal.
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.
FINISHING L38 LOUVRE INSTALLATION DOOR REMOVAL & INSTALLATION FIGURE 37 a-c Lift up and remove the upper louvres. Open the valve control door. Release the top and bottom door latches, located at the right side of the door. To close the door, repeat in reverse order. FIGURE 35 A The door latch holes are elongated for door levelling. To level the door may need to be lifted up at the right side before latching to ensure the door is level.
LOG PLACEMENT TM PHAZER logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon Fireplaces, 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. FIGURE 38a-f #5 4.
OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION k blac red white FIGURE 40 INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and 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 If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a blower: route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the receptacle / junction box.
OPTIONAL FAN INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must be 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. To safely install the fan, turn off the electricity first.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE 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. 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.
ADJUSTMENTS PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow. Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.
