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 lubri-
cants 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. In both
cases, open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• 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 department.
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

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 danger-
ous 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 vacuum-
ing 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 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.
