GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the cur-
rent CAN/CGA -B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-
1988 in the United States. Suitable for mobile home instal-
lation if installed in accordance with the current standard
CAN/CSA Z240MH Series, for gas equipped mobile homes,
in Canada or ANSI Z223.1-1988 and NFPA 54-1988 in the
United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
All horizontal runs must have a minimum 1 inch rise per
foot when using Napoleon flexible venting components.
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 7" diameter flexible air liner.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess 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 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 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRI-
CAL CODE in the United States.

The first 2 feet of outer 7 inch diameter vent
pipe from the appliance must be wrapped in the 1
inch thick insulation sleeve (supplied) as well as
having a 1 inch air gap. After the insulation sleeve
a 2" air gap must be maintained between the re-
maining vent system and combustibles.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES
HAVE BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERA-
TIONS AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 40,000 BTU/h
for natural gas and 36,000BTU/h for propane. When the
fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the
absence of specific recommendations from the local au-
thority 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 33,200 BTU/hr
at an efficiency of 83% 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 bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in
a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site
and fuelled with natural gas.
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS
REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION. Expan-
sion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal 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 glass is 3/16" ceramic
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
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 INSTALLA-
TION 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.
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration
and / or blemishes may result.
