This is a vented appliance and must be connected to a
chimney in accordance with the current installation
codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current
CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes. This model can be
common-vented.
A minimum four inch diameter (4"ø) B-vent or class A vent
is required. A minimum 10' vent height is required. Secure
the B-vent to the exhaust collar on the stove top with 3
screws. In cold climates, the use of a B-vent and an insu-
lated chase is recommended.
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (See 'A' below). It shuts down the gas to the
main burner in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a
blocked or disconnected chimney flue. If the flue is blocked
or has no "draw", the safety switch will automatically shut
off the supply of gas to the main burner within 10 minutes.
This switch must be manually reset by depressing the
plunger. Refer to Figure 2.
Tampering with the safety switch can result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and possible death.
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (See 'A' below). It shuts down the gas to the
main burner in the unlikely event of the unit overheating.
The HI Limit switch will automatically reset after the unit
has cooled down, resuming gas flow to the main burner.
A test for correct venting action must be made before
the installed unit can be left with the customer.
Follow the procedure below:
1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start
exhaust fans in the home / turn the fireplace blower off (if so
equipped).
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and hold to the front of
the draft draft hood. FIGURES 4 & 5.
FIGURE4
Venting action is satisfactory, if smoke and flames are
drawn into the draft hood.
Venting action is unsatisfactory, if the smoke spills back, and
the flame splays outward. If venting action is unsatisfactory,
turn off the unit, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the smoke is
still not drawn into the draft hood, turn the unit off and check for
vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a quali-
fied inspector.
TheSafety or Hi Limit switchesmustnot be adjusted
or disabled.
Inthe eventthat eitherswitchor anyassociated parts
are exchanged, only original manufacturer's parts
may be used.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face-
areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
Combustible objects, like furniture, placed in front of the
fireplace, must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the
front face.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation and
vapour barrier coming into contact with the fireplace body, it
is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be 'finished' (ie: drywall/sheetrock) as you would finish any
other wall of the home. This will ensure that clearance to
combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the 1/4"ø
holes located at either end of the base.
2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L
copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall
switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a conven-
ient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire
through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of
the unit. The recommended maximum lead length de-
pends on wire size:
WIRESIZE MAX.LENGTH
14gauge 100 feet
16gauge 60 feet
18gauge 40 feet
Attach the one lead to terminal 3 (located on the gas valve)
and the other lead to the vent safety switch wire ( located
loose in the valve compartment). See FIGURE 3.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or
gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
4. Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if
local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas
valve and the coppertubing or flex connector. DO NOT KINK
FLEXIBLECONNECTOR.FIGURE6.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution. Do not use open flame.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door.

1) Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts using
the 2 sheet metal screws supplied. Se-
cure through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab and then
through the existing holes in the cor-
ner posts.
If there are no existing holes, follow
these instructions:
Position the nailing tab so that the front
face is offset with the front edge of the
corner post (approx. ½"). Centre the
nailing tab vertically on the corner
post.
Figure 12 a.
Drill through the centre of the top and
bottom slots in the nailing tab. Secure
using the two sheet metal screws
supplied. This allows the nailing tab
to slide back and forth for desired fram-
ing.Figure 12 b.
2) To determine the final location of the nailing tab
you must first determine the thickness of your finishing
material (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimension
from the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab.
Once the nailing tab is in the desired location, drill through
the centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal
screw*. Figure 12 c.

4. Position the notch located on the end of the center log
(#5) against the middle grate post with the other end of the
log resting in the pocket of the left crossover log.
5. Place the bottom of the right crossover log (#6) against
the right firebox side and pulled forward to the grate. The
top of the log should rest in the pocket provided on the
center log (#5).
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon
Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect
that is different in every installation. Take the time to care-
fully position the glowing embers for a maximum glowing
effect.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fireplace,
the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments
burn in during the heat activated curing process.
1. Place the back log (#1) onto the log
support tray and in front of the tabs. The
tabs maintain an air space between the
log and firebox back to facilitate combus-
tion air flow. Ensure that the back of the
log rests against the brackets on the back
wall of the firebox.
2. Move the two small logs (#2 & #3) into position, lining
up the studs located on the burner with the holes on the
bottom of the logs. Ensure that the small logs sit flat on the
burner.
3. Place the bottom of the left crossover log (#4) against
the left firebox side and pulled forward to the grate.
The top of the log should rest in the pocket on the back log.
LOG PLACEMENT
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner. Fine dust
found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row
of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small
logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the embers
into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges
of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will only
glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care
should be taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo-
leon dealer.
Remove the backing of the
logo supplied and place on the
glass viewing door, as indi-
cated.

tact with moving or hot objects.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
15 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run
for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace
has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the
output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bear-
ings causing irreparable damage. Care must be
taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any
damage resulting from this condition is not cov-
ered by the warranty policy.

partment.
GAS KNOB
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit
by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating 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.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which
will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou-
ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.
Whenlighting and re-lighting, the gasknob cannotbe turned
from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed slightly.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above
safety information on this label. If you don't smell gas go
the next step.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the
pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue
to burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-
wise to on.
8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main
burner may not come on when you turn valve to on.
Remote switch must be in the on position to ignite
burner.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to
be performed. 2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to off. Do not force.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in"
of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufac-
turing process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as fol-
lowing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fire-
place may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning
off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently venti-
late the room.

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
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 appear yellow immediately; al-
low 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.

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.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to-
ward the burner with the third jet.
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 sides, top and bottom of
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 fireplace 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 com-
bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours
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.

If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
Pilot goes out
while standing;
Main burner is in
'OFF' position.
Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters, dimin-
ishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor
appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
Flames are con-
sistently too large
or too small.
Carboning occurs.
- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clock-
wise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the
test point. Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for
natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check
that main burner is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw
(B). Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10"
water column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on
"HI".
