GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED
BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installa-
tion practices vary from region to region and it is important to know
the specifi cs that apply to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a "T" handle gas cock.
• The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36".
• 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 fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install the fi replace to the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Instal-
lation Codes.
The fi replace and its individual shut off 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
fi replace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by clos-
ing 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 fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or
other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace
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 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.

input for the fi replace is 28,500 BTU/h for natural gas and propane.
When the fi replace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the
absence of specifi c recommendations from the local authority having
jurisdiction, the certifi ed 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" water column for natural
gas and 11" water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure
is 7" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane.
Manifold pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5" water column for
natural gas and 10" water column for propane.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with
a clean dry cloth. The fi replace is factory equipped with 3/16" thick
tempered glass. Use only replacement glass available from your
Napoleon® dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a recom-
mended gas fi replace 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 ad-
equate accessibility clearance for servicing 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 follow the venting
& operating instructions exactly.
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 and vapour
barrier coming into contact with the fireplace body, it is recom-
mended 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.
