INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

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:

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES
HAVE BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERATIONS AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/h
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 20,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 68%
with the fan on.
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
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.
If utilizing one of Wolf Steel's trim or surround kits, follow
the framing instructions on page 14 and the finishing instructions on page 23, for removal of the top extension.

• 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 CAN/CGA 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 5OIA in the United
States.
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.
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.
If the optional heat circulating blower is installed, the 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.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom, and top
0 inches
vent pipe
1 inch
recessed depth (corner installation) 25¼ inches

W415-0299 / C / 03.12.03

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 3/16" tempered
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
If the door glass should crack or break, do not operate the
fireplace. Replace only with a door assembly certified with
the fireplace. See DOOR, LOUVRE AND TRIM INSTALLATION for removal and replacement details. 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.

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.
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.

5
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 glass front faces of
the unit.

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.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall penetration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.
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. The maximum allowable horizontal run is
20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40
feet. The maximum number of 5" 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.

W415-0299 / C / 03.12.03

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.
Nine (9") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 8" 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.
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.
A clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the vent
pipe is required.

PENINSULA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
VENTING

COUNTERTOP / BAR INSTALLATION

fer to pages 6-13. All venting must have a minimum clearance of 1" to combustible.

When finishing the fireplace, combustible material may
rest directly on of the top extension. In order to achieve a
countertop or bar type appearance with the minimum height
allowed, framing must be non-combustible and may be
done with metal studding attached to the top extension
sides or the upper frame of the fireplace.

FRAMING
See Page 18 for additional framing dimensions.
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.
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.

The top extension may be removed if non-combustible
framing is faced with a non-combustible material placed
flush with the front face of the unit and extending from the

NOTE: Wolf Steel trim and/or surround kits will not totally cover the top extension of the fireplace. In order to
obtain a smooth transition from the trim / surround to the
wall, it is recommended that the top extension be removed and the unit be installed following the above procedure.

Care should be taken to maintain sufficient clearance for
the vent installation. A horizontal vent installation requires
a minimum height of 39½" using rigid or 43" using flexible
vent pipe. (including the 1" clearance to combustibles).

causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to
prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the
blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from
this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 10 minutes
after lighting the fireplace and will run for approximately
30 - 45 minutes after the fireplace has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.

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. Simply open a window to
sufficiently ventilate the room.

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.
Purge the gas line with a glass door open. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-installing the door.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
•
•
•

Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
PL T
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 GAS KNOB
a neighbour's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

O I

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 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.
2. For a complete shut-down procedure: push in gas control
knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.

3. For a temporary shut-down procedure: set thermostat to
lowest setting or remote switch to off. Press and turn the
gas knob clockwise to pilot.

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. 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 and runner burners ignite completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burners is
turned on. A 5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If
ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.

Natural gas models have air shutters set at 1/4 (.250") inch
open. Propane gas models have air shutters set at 7/16
(.437) inch open. 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.

WARNING: This is a fast acting thermocouple. It is an integral safety component.
Replace only with a fast acting thermocouple supplied
by Wolf Steel Ltd.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A
QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER!

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
Vertical installations may display a very active flame.If this
appearance is not desirable,the vent exit must be restricted
using the optional restrictor vent kit, RP40-KT. This will
reduce
the velocity of the exhaust gases,slowing down the flame
pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance.
Specific instructions are included with the kit.

- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the
test point. Gauge should read 8" (minimum 4.5") water column for
natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check
that main burner is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10" water
column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT
OVERTORQUE.
