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 the GB20 to
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the
current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
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 floor-
ing, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box
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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FORYOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HASBEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input for the GB20 is 17,000 BTU/h for natu-
ral gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed at
elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense 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.
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.
FIGURE1
This fireplace is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting room
installation.
Noexternal electricity(110voltsor24volts)isrequired
for the gas system operation. Expansion / 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 GB20 is factory equipped
with 3/16" thick tempered glass. Use only replacement glass
available from your Napoleon dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
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.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for serv-
icing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct
the front opening of the fireplace.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be
kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of
the unit.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace fol-
low the venting & operating instructions exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent
connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is
installed.
The fireplace must be installed against finished
walls. Do not install against a vapour barrier or
exposed insulation.

5
WS-415-137/05.15.00
The GB20 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. 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.
VENT SAFETY SWITCH
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (A). 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 sup-
ply of gas within 10 minutes.
Tampering with the safety switch can result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and possible death.
The one wire running from the vent safety switch is at-
tached to terminal 1 of the valve (See 'B' below). The other
wire ( laying loose in the valve control area) may be at-
tached to a wall switch or thermostat.
VENTING ACTION CHECK
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 draft hood. FIGURE 4.

Bend out the four nailing
tabs, attached on either side
of the fireplace and secure to
the 2x4 framing. The tabs will
facilitate the installation of ei-
ther a ½" or a 3/4" finished wall
thicknesss. The nailing tabs
must not be removed.
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.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace
should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. FIGURES 11. Use the graph to help evaluate
the clearance needed.
GAS INSTALLATION
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 ¼"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

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.

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.
TOTURNOFFGAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to
be performed. 2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-
wise to off. Do not force.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 manufacturing
process and will not occur again.
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. In both cases,
open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burnerbeforeinstalling the door.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Both fireplace models have air shutters that have been
factory set open according to the chart below:
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.
AIRSHUTTER ADJUSTMENTMUST ONLYBEDONE BYA
QUALIFIEDGASINSTALLER!
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.

ADJUSTMENTS
MAINTENANCE 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.
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.

Vent safety switch has
opened. - Vent has become blocked or disconnected. Correct.
Pilot goes out when
the gas knob is re-
leased.
The gas valve has
an interlock device
whichwill notallow
the pilot burner to
be lit until the ther-
mocouple has
cooled. Allow ap-
proximately 60
seconds for the
thermocouple to
cool.
System is not correctly
purged. - purge the gas line with the glass door open.
Out of propane gas. - fill the tank.
Pilot flame is not large
enough - turn up the pilot flame.
- gently twist the pilot head to improve the flame pattern around the
thermocouple.
Pilot flame is not engulfing
the thermocouple.
Thermocouple shorting /

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
TEST SOLUTION
PROBLEMSYMPTOM
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".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
