THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BYA QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. Installation practices vary from region to re-
gion 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 CAN/CGA -
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA54 in the United States.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, install to the current stand-
ard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH
Series in Canada or the manufactured home construction
and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire
Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations, Sites
and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 5OIA in the United
States.
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.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE in the United States.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction
from the fireplace:
sides, back, bottom, and top 0 inches
recessed depth (corner installation) 2525
2525
25 inches
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept
a minimum of 48" away from the glass front faces of
the unit.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES
HAVE BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERA-
TIONS AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/h
for natural gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific
recommendations from the local authority having jurisdic-
tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced
at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum out-
put for natural gas is 20,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 68%
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 bedroom and bed-sitting room
installations and is suitable for mobile home installation.
NOEXTERNALELECTRICITY(110 VOLTSOR24VOLTS) 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.
If utilizing one of Wolf Steel's trim or surround kits, follow
the framing instructions on page 14 and the finishing in-
structions on page 23, for removal of the top extension.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" tempered
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
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, LOUVREAND 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.
Do not clean glass when hot!
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration
and / or blemishes may result.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate ac-
cessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fire-
place. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec-
tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in 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 outside wall of a home. This will
ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained
within the cavity.

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
FuelGas Code,ANSIZ223.1, orthe currentCAN/CGAB149,
Installation Codes. This model can be common-vented.
Aminimum five inch diameter (5"ø) B-vent or classAvent is
required. A minimum 5' 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 insulated 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 car-
bon monoxide poisoning and possible death.
The one wire running from the vent safety switch is attached
to terminal 1 of the valve (See 'B' below). The other wire
(laying loose in the valve control area) may be attached to a
wall switch or thermostat.
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 ex-
haust 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 hood. FIGURES 4 & 5.
FIGURE4
FIGURE3
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.
The Vent Safety or Hi Limit switches must not be
adjusted or disabled.
In the event that either switch or any associated
parts are exchanged, only original manufacturer's
parts may be used.

When finishing the fireplace, combustible material may
rest directly on of the top extension.
Note: Maximum weight tolerance is 400 lbs, provided
that it is evenly distributed across the top extensions of
the fireplace.
In order to achieve a countertop or bar type appearance
with the minimum height allowed, framing must be non-
combustible and may be done with metal studding attached
to the top extension sides or the upper frame of the fire-
place.FIGURE 9.
Refer to page 7.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed
insulation or vapour barrier coming in 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 outside wall of a home. This
will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained
within the cavity.
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. FIGURE 6.
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to accommodate the thickness

* The top extension may be removed if non-combustible
framing is faced with a non-combustible material placed
flush with the front face of the unit and extending from the
top of the unit. (Example: cement board) (not supplied).
Combustible counter / bar tops must maintain a minimum
of 38½ inches from the base of the fireplace to the underside
of the top. Figure 7.
NOTE: Wolf Steel trim and/or surround kits will not to-
tally cover the top extension of the fireplace. In order to
obtain a smooth transition from the trim / surround to the
wall, it is recommended that the top extension be re-
moved and the unit be installed following the above pro-
cedure.

PHAZERTM logs, glowing and charcoal embers, exclusive
to Napoleon fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glow-
ing effect that is different in every installation. Take the time
to carefully position the embers for a maximum glowing
effect.Figures 27 A - H.
1. Looking at the unit from the valve side, place log #1
diagonally across the textured burner cover onto the pins.
The texture is designed to cradle the underside of the log.
2. Depending on the type of installation, the view of the log
positioning will reverse. Here the lower end of log #2 rests
near the back left corner of the firebox on the locating pin.
The upper end sits on top of log #1, inside the groove on
log #2.
3. Log # 3 is made up of
two pieces, a and b. Piece
#3a is the base of log #3.
The base sits diagonally in
the designated area lo-
cated between logs #1 and
fits tight up against #2.
4. The slot in the under-
side of piece #3b fits over
#3a. Place the end of
piece #3b onto the pin.
5. When pieces #3a and #3b are attached to create log
#3, the upper end of log #3 should rest in the groove, on
top of log # 2.
6.As with log # 1, log #4 is also cradled by the texture of the
burner cover and the pin in the base. Position log #4 so that
the lower end fits onto the pin. The upper end rests against
the moulded locater on the top of log # 1.
7. Like log #3, log #5
also comes in two
pieces. The base
(#5a) slopes out-
wards between logs
#2 and #4.
As with pieces #3a &
b, piece #5b fits over
piece #5a. Place the
end of piece #5b onto
the pin.
8. The upper end of log #5 rests in the groove, on top of
log #4 and creates the final appearance of log set.

Tear the embers into small pieces
and place on the ported area of the burner. 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.
Randomly place the embers around the bottom brick pan-
els in a realistic manner but not in contact with the flames.
Keep ember dust away from burner ports to avoid plugging
them.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and danger-
ous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This fire-
place and its venting system should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fire-
place area must be kept clear and free of combustible materi-
als, 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. Keepthecontrolcompartment,logs,burner,airshutteropen-
ing and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or
brushing, at least once a year.
3. Checkto see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any
of the ports which may not be burning or are not burning prop-
erly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf
the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the
burner with the third jet.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main and runner burners ignite com-
pletely on all openings when the gas knob for the burners is
turned on.A5 to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If
ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom
of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

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.
