VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMI-
NAL LOCATIONS
Use only Napoleon or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for these installations, are set out in this
manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent,
follow the installation procedure provided with the venting
components. All vent pipe connections must be sealed
when using any of these vent systems.
When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with
the following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222,
or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12
TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TER-
MINAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (forwallpen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330. These vent kits allow
for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace. FIG-
URES 2, 3, & 5.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times.
Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it
is unobstructed and undamaged.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using Simpson Dura-Vent or Napoleon rigid or
flexibleventingcomponentswhenventingasillustrated
in Figures 2a, 2b and 2c.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.

ing procedure for vent
length calculations must be
followed:
In an installation as shown
in FIGURE 4, lengths A and
C are known based on room
height and roof require-
ments. Any 90° and 45° el-
bows must be calculated
as 5 feet of venting each

The allowable horizontal run can be calculated using these
parameters. In this example, the total vertical height is 20
feet (length "A" is required to be 11 feet while length "C"
needs to be 9 feet). The maximum vertical length is 40 feet
and all runs and elbows must be subtracted from this maxi-
mum vertical length.
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "B" can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)
-11 ft. (through the roof vertical rise "A")
-10 ft. (2 - 90° elbow)
- 9 ft. (vertical run "C")
10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")
The length of "B" must never be greater than the length
of "A" and "C" combined.

from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom and top 0 inches
sides, and bottom of the vent pipe 1 inch **
**
*
top of the vent pipe 2 inches **
**
*

*A clearance to combustibles of 2" at the vent pipe top
must be maintained for the first 12" of venting. The firestop
spacer GA-010-612 supplied with the unit must be used to
maintain this clearance. Thereafter a 1" clearance to
combustibles may be maintained using the firestop spacer
GD-500.96 for use with flexible venting or firestop spacer
GD-500.136 for use with rigid venting.

Deviation from the minimum or the maximum vertical
ventlengthcan create difficulty in burnerstart-upand/
orcarboning.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with
the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to mini-
mizecondensation.

INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
For optimum performance, it is recommended
that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch
rise per foot.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace,
follow the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
This application occurs when
venting through an exterior wall.
Figures 2a-d. Having deter-
mined the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in an exte-
rior wall with a minimum open-
ing of 9½" x 10½". (As an alter-
native to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensur-
ing the correct clearance to
combustibles.)
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined
depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking
(not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the
opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the
7" vent pipe / liner. Do not fill this cavity with any type of
material. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a
firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict cold air from
being drawn into the room or around the fireplace. Ensure
that both spacer and shield maintain the required clear-
ance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is installed
in its final position, apply sealant between the pipe / liner
and the firestop spacer.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION:
This application occurs
when venting through a
roof.FIGURE 3. Installa-
tion kits for various roof
pitches are available
from your Napoleon
dealer. See Accesso-
ries to order the specific
kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9½
inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum clearance between the fireplace pipe / liner and
any combustible material. Try to center the exhaust pipe
location midway between two joist to prevent having to cut
them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the open-
ings.
Do not fill this space with any type of material.
A vent pipe shield will
prevent any materials
such as insulation,
from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.
Nail headers between
the joist for extra sup-
port.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva-
lent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the
opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the
venting system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking
all around and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield
to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around
the fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain
the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent
pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant
between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
3. In the attic, after the pipe / liner has been installed,
slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of
the shield and tighten. This will prevent any materials, such
as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around the
pipe.

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws
provided. The roof support is optional. The venting is to be
adequately supported using either an alternate method suit-
able to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof
support.
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the
required length. Slip the liner a minimum of 2" over the
inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 3 #8 screws.
Seal using a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant.
3. Repeat using 7" diameter aluminum flexible liner.
4. Thread the air terminal pipe
assembly down through the roof.
The air terminal must be located
vertically and plumb. Attach the air
terminal assembly to the roof sup-
port, ensuring that a minimum 16"
of air terminal will penetrate the
roof when fastened.

EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND COR-
NER AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
A 45° corner installation must have 6 inch minimum rise
between the fireplace combustion air collar and the air ter-
minal.FIGURE 2d. In this case, vent lengths must be kept to
a maximum of 24". For longer vent lengths, a minimum
vertical rise of 24" is required. FIGURE 2c. Use the GD220
vent kit and couplers for this application.
If more than one length of liner needs to be used to reach
the fireplace, couple them together as illustrated below.
Seal the joints using the same procedure as described in
point 2. The vent system must be supported approximately
every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Napo-
leon support ring assemblies, GA-GD-010.370 or equiva-
lent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum
clearance to combustibles as well as to prevent sagging.
Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at prede-
termined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7"
outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.
For optimum performance, it is recommended
that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch
rise per foot.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace,
follow the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL IN-
STALLATION
1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of
the high temperature sealant, supplied with the unit, to the
inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip the
liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and
secure with 3 #8 screws.
2. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminum liner, apply
sealant, slide a minimum of 2" over the fireplace combus-
tion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
3. Insert the liners through the firestop. Position and
secure the fireplace using the nailing tabs (2 per side)
and/or secure to the floor using screws inserted through
the two ¼" diameter holes in the front left and right corners
of the base. The liners should be flush with the exterior
wall.
The air teminal plate may be recessed into the exterior
wall or siding by 1½", the depth of the return flange.
4. From outside, apply a bead of the high temperature
sealant to the inside of both liners, approximately 1" from
the end of each liner.
5. Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, read-
able position), insert into both liners with a twisting motion
to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the
liners / sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).

outside of the 4" elbow. Pull the adjustable pipe a mini-
mum 2" onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with
the 7" telescopic pipe.
11. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up
the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent any
materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space
around the pipe.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes lo-
cated in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use screws, inserted through the holes in the
base to secure. It is recommended that the fireplace be
secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace,ensurethatthelogsarepositionedcorrectly.
GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L cop-
per tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
2. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient lo-
cation. 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 depends on wire

A 45° corner installation
can have 0 inch rise
between the fireplace
combustion air collar
and the air terminal. In
this case, vent lengths
must be kept to a maxi-
mum of 24". For longer
vent lengths, a mini-
mum vertical rise of 24"
is required. FIGURE 2c.
1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal In-
stallations".
2. Continue adding components alternating inner and
outer venting. Ensure that all 4" venting and elbows have
sufficient vent spacers attached and each component is
sealed and securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4"
telescopic sleeve to the vent run. Repeat using a 7" tel-
escopic sleeve. Seal and secure as before. To facilitate
completion, attach 4" and 7" couplers to the air terminal.
3.Install the air terminal. See item 3 above. Extend the 4"
telescopic sleeve; apply sealant and connect to the air ter-
minal assembly. Fasten with self tapping screws. Repeat
using the 7" telescopic sleeve.
VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1. Attach 4" and 7" elbows to
the fireplace. Apply high tem-
perature sealant and secure the
joints with 3 screws.
2. Move the fireplace into posi-
tion.
3. Fasten the roof support to the
roof using the screws
provided.The roof support is op-
tional. The venting is to be ad-
equately supported using either
an alternate method suitable to the authority having juris-
diction or the optional roof support.
4. Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of
the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 4" diameter cou-
pler a minimum of 2" over the sleeve and secure using 3
screws.
5.Apply high temperature sealant to the outer edge of
the of the outside sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 7" diam-
eter coupler over the sleeve and secure as before. Trim the
7" coupler even with the 4" coupler end.
6.Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through
the roof support and attach, ensuring that a minimum 16"
of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened.
FIGURE 13. If the attic space is tight, we recommend
threading the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equivalent

Sit the notch at the bottom of log #2 against the left outer-
most grate post and position the top of the log into the
pocket provided on the rear log (#1).
Position the notches located in logs #3 and #4 against the
grate posts.
Place the bottom of log #5 against the right outermost grate
post and the top into the pocket provided on the center log
(#4). Tear the glowing embers into pieces and place onto
the small carry-over ports only. Care should be taken to
shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only
the exposed edges of the fibre hairs will glow when ex-
posed to direct flame; however care should be taken to not
block the burner ports. Blocked ports can cause an incor-
rect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition.
Randomly place the charcoal embers behind the grate
posts and around the logs in a realistic manner but not in
contact with the flames. Keep ember dust away from burner
ports to avoid plugging them.
FIGURES27
Place log #1 onto the burner, centering it onto the burner
tray and pushing it as close to the rear wall of the firebox as
possible.
LOG PLACEMENT
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern,
carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow
when exposed to direct flame and provide a unique and
realistic glowing effect. Use only certified PHAZERTM logs
available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Positioning the logs improperly will cause flame im-
pingement and carboning.
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.

To ease installation of blower, install the blower
before installing junction box.
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED IN-
STALLER and must be electrically connected 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/NFPA 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
in the United States.
If the fireplace was not previ-
ously equipped with a blower:
route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz
power cable to the receptacle /
junction box. At this point, it must
be strain relieved and insulated.
The three slots on the
blower mounting
bracket allow ease of
adjustment when
attaching the blower.
For a quiet running
blower, do not allow the
assembly to sit on the
firebox base.
Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and up
against the threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower
must be able to be positioned entirely onto the pad.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and
into the clip (C). Secure to the threaded stud using the lock
washer and wing nut provided. Ensure that the blower
does not touch the fireplace base or the firebox.
SLOTS
ELONGATED
Attach the connectors from the black and white wires to the
thermodisc and secure the thermodisc bracket to the se-
curing stud at the bottom left of the unit using a lock washer
and wing nut. Ensure that the thermodisc touches the fire-
box wall.
Attach the connectors from the black and red wires to the
blower.
Attach and secure the variable speed switch using the nut
provided. Plug the harness cord into the receptacle.
The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal
harness. When installed, ensure that any excess
wire is contained, preventing it from making con-
tact with moving or hot objects.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
10 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run
forapproximately30-45minutesafterthefireplace
has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the
output of heat.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Whenlitforthefirst time, the fireplace will emit aslight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary con-
dition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-
in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manu-
facturing 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
causedbydust particlesintheheat exchangerburning
off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently venti-
latetheroom.
FORYOURSAFETYREADBEFORELIGHTING:
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.
LIGHTINGINSTRUCTIONS

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.
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 igni-
tion takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distribu-
tor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

Pilot will not light. - check if pilot can be lit by a match
- check that the wire is connected to the push button ignitor.
- check if the push button ignitor needs tightening.
- replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.
- replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken.
- replace the push button ignitor.

Spark gap is incorrect - spark gap should be 0.150" to 0.175" (5/32" to 11/64" approx.) from
the electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode
location, tighten securing nut (finger tight plus 1/4 turn).
No gas at the pilot burner - check that the manual valve is turned on.
- check the pilot orifice for blockage.
- replace the valve.
- call the gas distributor.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
TEST SOLUTIONSYMPTOM PROBLEM
Main burner goes
out; pilot stays on. Pilot flame is not large enough or not engulfing the
thermopile
- turn up pilot flame.
- replace pilot assembly.
Thermopile shorting - clean thermopile connection to the valve. Reconnect.
- replace thermopile / valve.
Remote wall switch wire is
too long; too much resist-
ance in the system.
- shorten wire to correct length or wire gauge.
Faulty thermostat or switch. - replace.
B EFORE ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT , PURGE YOUR UNIT AND INITIALLY LIGHT THE PILOT AND THE MAIN BURNER WITH THE GLASS DOOR REMOVED .
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. Moni-
tor appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized
piping.
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 removed.
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 /
faulty. - loosen and tighten thermocouple. - clean thermocouple and valve connection.
- replace thermocouple.
- replace valve.
Faultyvalve. - replace.
Pilot burning; no
gas to main
burner; gas knob
is on 'HI'; wall
switch / thermostat
is on.
Themostat or switch is de-
fective. - connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main
burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.
Mainburnerorificeisplugged. - remove stoppage in orifice.
Faultyvalve. - replace.
Wall switch wiring is defec-
tive. - disconnect switch wires from valve & connect a jumper wire across
terminals 1 & 3; if the main burner lights, check the wires for defects
and / or replace wires.

White / grey film
forms. Sulphur from fuel is being deposited on glass, logs or
combustion chamber sur-
faces.
- clean the glass with a gas fireplace glass cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
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
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT
OVERTORQUE.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
Unit is over-fired or under-
fired.

TEST SOLUTION
PROBLEMSYMPTOM
Main burner goes
out; pilot goes out. Refer to "MAIN BURNER GOES OUT; PILOT STAYS ON"
Vent is blocked
Vent is re-circulating
- check for vent blockage.
- check joint seals and installation.
4" flexible vent has become
disconnected from fireplace. - re-attach to fireplace.
Remote wall
switch is in "OFF"
position; main
burner comes on
when gas knob is
turned to "ON" po-
sition.
Wall switch is mounted up-
side down - reverse.
Faultyvalve. - replace.
- replace.Remote wall switch is
grounding.
- check for ground (short); repair ground or replace wire.Remote wall switch wire is
grounding.
Main burner flame
is a blue, lazy,
transparent flame.
Blockage in vent. - remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur
on the terminal and should be removed as required.
- refer to Figure 15 to ensure correct location of storm collars.
Incorrect installation.
Carbon is being
deposited on
glass, logs or com-
bustion chamber
surfaces. Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion cham-
ber.
- check that the logs are correctly positioned.
- open air shutter to increase the primary air.
- check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifice size
as specified by the rating plate values.
- check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and that the
seal is tight.
- check that both 4" and 7" vent liners are free of holes and well
sealed at all joints.
- check that minimum rise per foor has been adhered to for any
horizontal venting.
Air shutter has become
blocked - ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.
Exhaust fumes
smelled in room,
headaches.
Fireplace is spilling. - check door seal and relief flap seal.
- check for chimney blockage
- check that chimney is installed to building code.
- room is in negative pressure; increase fresh air supply.
Flames are very
aggressive. - tighten screws holding door in place
