The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically con-
nected 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/NFPA70NATIONALELECTRICALCODE inthe United
States. The blower power cord must be connected into a
properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must
not be removed from the cord plug.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Pro-
vide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front open-
ing of the fireplace.
Mantleclearance,while
conforming to the
stated clearance to
combustible materials,
can vary according to
the mantle depth.
These clearances do
notapplyto a GI-700kit
type installation.
FORYOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACEHAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
24,000 BTU/hr for propane. For elevations between 2,000
and 4,500 feet above sea level, this fireplace must be de-
rated by 10% using the certified high altitude kit. When the
fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500 ft., and in
the absence of specific recommendations from the local
authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input
rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional
1,000 ft. Maximum output for natural gas is 22,800 BTU/hr
at an efficiency of 76% with the fan on, 72% with the fan off;
and 18,240 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 76% with
the fan on, 71% with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E.(Annual
Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating is 64% for both natural
and propane gas. This fireplace is approved for bathroom,
bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and is suit-
able for mobile home installation.
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.
No external electricity (110 volts or 2 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more
evident in natural gas than in propane. The self generating
pilot provides current for a remote burner On-Off switch.
Installation practices vary from region to region 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 to the current CAN1-B149
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 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 minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Altitudes
greater than ,000 ft. require a minimum vent run of 12 ft.
The heater and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5
kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the fireplace.
Thisfireplace mustbeconnected toany acceptedlined chim-
ney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL-1777
(in USA). The venting connection must be in compliance
with the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.
The draft hood must be installed so that it is in the same
atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to
the fireplace.
This heater can be installed two different ways. If installed
as is, it must be recessed into a vented noncombustible
woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only. This
is referred to as an INSERT type of installation.
The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be
installed is: HEIGHT 21 inches
WIDTH 26½ inches
DEPTH 17½ inches
If installed in conjunction with kit #GI-700, it may be framed
into an enclosure made of combustible materials. This is
referred to as a ZERO CLEARANCE type of installation.
This heater may only be installed in the GI-700 when using
the glass front kit, GI-FF, as well as one louvre kit, GI-LPB,
GI-LAB, GI-LG or GI-LK. The minimum clearance to com-
bustible construction in this form of installation is:
MANTLEHEIGHT*7 inches**
SIDES,BACK, BOTTOM&TOP 0 inches
B-VENT 1 inch
RECESSEDDEPTH 18½ inches
*MEASUREMENTS TAKEN FROM KIT STANDOFFS. SEE KIT INSTRUCTIONS
**MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL EXTENSION IS 6INCHES.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.

CARE OF GLASS, ENAMELLED AND PLATED PARTS
INSTALLATION
The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass available from your Na-
poleon dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean
the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with a recom-
mended 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 blem-
ishes may result.
Line the chimney with a 4 inch diameter approved liner.
Pack insulation around the liner in the damper area to pre-
vent air flow from entering the chimney. Chimney installa-
tion must conform to both national and local code require-
ments. The liner must be continuous from the fireplace to
the chimney cap.
Remove the securing screw from the front of the dilution
plate. Push the dilution hood out of its securing clip and
attach the liner using 3 screws equally spaced. Move the
insert into the centre of the woodburning fireplace making
sure that the dilution draft hood inserts back into its secur-
ing clip. Level using the four levelling screws located front
and back on either side of the fireplace base.
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fire-
place. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning fire-
place are in a clean and sound condition and constructed
of non-combustible materials. If necessary have any repair
work done by a qualified person before installing the in-
sert. Remove the existing fireplace damper or lock into an
open position.
Using screws, attach the fireplace warning tag (W385-0199)
to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the
insert is being installed.
The sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas
fireplace insert is to be installed, must not be cut.
If the wood-burning factory-built fireplace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom
of the fireplace in a proper workman like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with non-combustible in-
sulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fit properly.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh
and log grates may be removed from the fireplace be-
fore installing the gas fireplace insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if
attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the fireplace may be ob-
structed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but
these parts are not to be applied so as to have an air-
tight seal.
WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR USE WITH A GAS FIRE-
PLACE INSERT ONLY AND CANNOT BE USED FOR BURNING WOOD OR SOLID
FUELS UNLESS ALL ORIGINAL PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE FIRE-
PLACE IS RE-APPROVED BY THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.

This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of
the unit and extending up into the dilution draft hood, which
senses the change in temperature and shuts down the
gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a
blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety shutoff to
prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of
unburnt gases during start up. If the flue is blocked or has
no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the
supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POS-
SIBLE DEATH.
A check for correct venting action must be made be-
fore the installed insert is left with the customer.
Test after installing the unit into either the GI-700 ZERO
CLEARANCE KIT or a vented noncombustible fireplace in
the following manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust
fans in the home / turn fireplace blower off.
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and hold it to the spill tube
opening.
4. Venting action is satisfactory if smoke is drawn into the
spill tube. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the flame and
smoke are not drawn into the tube.
5. If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait
10 minutes and try again. If the smoke or flame is still not
drawn into the spill tube, turn the unit off and check for
adequate fresh air supply, vent blockage or restriction. If
necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.
SPILL SWITCH
VENTING ACTION CHECK
Levelling the insert will eliminate rocking or excessive noise
when the fan is in operation. Replace the securing screw
to the front of the dilution plate.
Install rigid black pipe, a flex connector, if local codes per-
mit, or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter
and a shut off valve to the fireplace. Seal and tighten se-
curely. The adapter will be required between the gas valve
and the copper tubing or flex connector.
Do not damage or kink flex connector!
Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solu-
tion.
Do not use open flame!
An on/off switch has been included and can be located at
the lower right, behind the louvre access door or at the right
side trim.
For ease of accessibility, this switch may be replaced with
a wall switch or substituted with a millivolt thermostat that
may be installed in a convenient location on any wall. Route
2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through the electrical
hole located at the bottom right side of the unit. The recom-
mended maximum lead length depends on wire size:
WIRESIZE MAX.LENGTH
14gauge 100 feet
16gauge 60 feet
18gauge 40 feet
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the
gas valve.
Do not connect either the wall switch or the gas valve to
electricity (110 volts or 2 volts).

PHAZERTM logs and charcoal embers, exclusive to Napo-
leon Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing
effect that is different in every installation. Take the time to
carefully position the charcoal embers for a maximum glow-
ing effect.
Randomly place the embers along the front burner ports.
Keep ember dust away from burner ports to avoid plugging
them.
Finedust foundinbottom ofbag not tobe used. PHAZERTM
logs and charcoal embers glow when exposed to direct
flame. Use only certified PHAZERTM logs and charcoal
embers available from your Napoleon dealer.
1. Place the front log onto the main burner, pushing it as
close as possible to the burner ports without
blocking/covering them. The left and right spacing between
the log ends and the burner ports should be equal.
2. Place the back log onto the log support brackets located
on the rear wall of the combustion chamber. The notch
situated at the lower left of the back log should be centred
evenly above the pilot assembly.
3. While supporting the back log, to prevent it from falling
forward, set the three smaller logs into the pockets and
grooves of the front and back logs, respectively.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fire
place, the colours will become more uniform as colour
pigments burn in during the heat activated curing proc
ess.
When shipped, the brick panels range in colour from
white to varying shades of brown. During initial use, the
panels will darken temporarily and emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is a normal condition that will not
occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently venti-
late the room. The appearance of the panels will perma-
nently lighten in colour with use.

If your masonry fireplace is equipped with a fresh air inlet
in the floor of the firebrick chamber, the insert is able to
take outside air directly into the unit through an opening in
its base thereby eliminating the need to use preheated
room air for combustion. The flow of air may be adjusted
through the use of a damper located below the louvre ac-
cess door. The damper should be kept closed (pushed all
the way in) when the unit is not in operation or if no outside
air is available. The damper is fully open when pulled for-
ward (one inch from the closed position).
FIGURE22
Never obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.
When lit for the first time, the stove 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 inter-
nal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing proc-
ess and will not occur again.
Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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. Open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room.
Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
DDo not use this insert if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and replace any part of the control system and
any gas control touched by water.
AThis stove has a pilot which must be lit by hand while
following these instructions exactly.
BBefore lighting, 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.
CUse only your hand to push in or turn the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn
by hand, do not try to repair it.
• 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 de-
partment.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
8. Depress and hold the gas knob while lighting the pilot
with the push button igniter. Keep the knob fully de-
pressed for one (1) minute, then release. If the pilot does
not continue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 7.
9. With the pilot lit, turn the gas knob counter-clock-
wise to "on" position.
10. If your insert is equipped with a flame adjustment
valve, push and turn the knob to "high".
11. If your insert is equipped with a remote "on-off" switch,
the main burner may not come on when you turn the gas
valve to "on" or "high". The remote switch must be in the
"on" position as well to ignite the main burner.
12. Turn on all electrical power to the insert.
1. Stop! Read all the safety information above. When
lighting and relighting, the gas knob cannot be turned
from "pilot" to "off" unless the knob is depressed.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the stove.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion cham-
ber to escape. Continue to the next step if you do NOT
smell any gas. If you smell gas, STOP! and follow the
instructions in "What to do if You Smell Gas" listed above.
5. If the unit is equipped with a flame adjustment valve,
turn clockwise to off.
6. Locate the pilot situated in front of the rear log.
7. Turn the gas knob counter-clockwise to "pi-
lot" position.
2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-
wise to off. Do not force.
1. Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is
to be performed.

3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn-
ing properly. (right brick panel must be removed in order to
facilitate burner removal)
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermopile on one leg and reaches toward the
burner on the other leg.
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 / dis-
tributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the door is not broken or
missing. Replace if necessary.
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This insert and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service per-
son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable va-
pours 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 vacu-
uming or brushing, at least once a year.
FIGURE21
The Napoleon gas fireplace insert comes standard with a
blower, a heat sensor, variable on/off speed control and a
power cord. Because the blower is thermally activated,
when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15
minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run for approxi-
mately 30 minutes after the fireplace has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Air, drawn in
through the lower louvre access door, is driven up the back
of the firebox, and exhausted as hot air between the upper
louvres.
• Turn off the gas and electric power to the unit.
• Remove the glass door.
• Remove the lower glass bracket.
• Remove the logs.
• Remove the burner assembly. (right brick panel must
be removed in order to facilitate removal)
• Remove the four screws holding the access door in
place on the control assembly (located to the back of
the burner assembly.) For location, see picture in re-
placement parts.
• Disconnect the electrical connectors at the blower.
• Remove the blower.
FIGURE23
1. Remove the pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace the pilot adjustment cap.
Natural gas models have air shutters set at 1/16 (.063")
inch open. Propane gas models have air shutters set at [5/
16] (.313) inch open. Closing the air shutter will cause a
more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the
air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause
flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not ap-
pear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame colour to be established.
