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 re-
gion 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 the fireplace to the cur-
rent National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
The fireplace and its individual shut off valve must be dis-
connected 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 shut off 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 fan or blower is installed, the junction box
must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input for the fireplace is 28,500 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 jurisdic-
tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced
at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for pro-
pane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 13 inches water column for pro-
pane. 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 bedroom and bed-sitting room
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 nor-
mal and are to be expected.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The fireplace is factory
equipped with 3/16" thick tempered glass. Use only replace-
ment 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.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for serv-
icing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the
front opening of the fireplace.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept
a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the
unit.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace fol-
low the venting & operating instructions exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is in-
stalled.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula-
tion and vapour barrier coming into contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of
the fireplace enclosure be 'finished' (i.e.: drywall/
sheetrock) as you would finish any other wall of the
home. This will ensure that clearance to
combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
