General Information; Care Of Plated Parts; Installation; Combustion And Ventilation Air Provisions - Napoleon GVF40P Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

As long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for a
Napoleon® appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most effi cient use of the heat created. The
location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room
where the appliance is to be located should be considered.
If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will
pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or roof joist.
When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
fl ooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS APPLIANCE HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
MAXIMUM INPUT: Is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. When the appliance is installed at elevations
above 2,000ft, 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 1,000 ft.
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 pro-
pane. Manifold pressure under fl ow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water
column for propane.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation. Expansion / contrac-
tion noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. This appliance is
equipped with a pilot light safety system referred to as an oxygen depletion sensor and is designed to turn off
the appliance if not enough fresh air is available.

CARE OF PLATED PARTS

If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you must clean fi ngerprints or other marks from the plated
surfaces before operating the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the fi rst time, the marks can cause permanent blemishes on the
plating. After the plating is cured, the fi ngerprints and oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance is
required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a
permanent rain bowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door (applies to wood product only).
NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room
temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat
source.

2.1

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS

This appliance shall not be installed in a confi ned space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defi nes a confi ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfi ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating
directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors are
considered a part of the unconfi ned space.
The GVF40 is rated at 30,000 BTUs per hour for natural gas and 28,500 BTUs for propane and therefore re-
quires a minimum unconfi ned space of 1,500 and 1,425 cubic feet respectively.
We suggest that our gas
hearth products be installed
and serviced by professionals
who are certified in the U.S.
