THIS GAS FIREPLACE INSERT SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local
codes. 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.
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing
gas fired appliances.
• 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 Instal-
lation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Mobile home instal-
lation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local
codes, install to the current standard for gas equipped mobile
housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or ANSI Z223.1 and
NFPA 54 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace insert
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes (5-
15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The fireplace insert 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The
fireplace insert 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).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the
fireplace insert.
The fireplace insert 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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the 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.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE INSERT
HAS BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION

Provide adequate ventilation air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing
and operating the fireplace insert.
Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace in-
sert.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fireplace. Make
sure that the chimney and wood-burning fireplace 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 insert. 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 bot-
tom of the fireplace in a proper workman like manner.
This access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insula-
tion 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 before 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 obstructed by
the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are not
to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.
Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood-burning
fireplace. This unit is equipped with 4 levelling screws located in
the four inside corners beneath the log support. Level using the
levelling screws to eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the
fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, move it partially into place
within the fireplace to allow for all connections to be made. It is not
practical to level the insert once it has been installed. Determine the
required depth prior to installing the unit and adjust the four levelling
screws accordingly.
Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code
requirements. The chimney must be lined with one 2" or 3" diameter
liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum
and maximum vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recom-
mended Napoleon kits come in 3 lengths:
While the liners must be continuous from the fireplace to the chim-
ney cap, to achieve the needed length, they may be coupled, using
an approved coupler.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated
spaces, such as a garage or attic, be wrapped in a protective
sleeve to minimize condensation and reverse flow symptoms.
See Trouble Shooting for details.
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a
3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, however, it is recom-
mended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it may be necessary to adjust
the primary air shutter.
1. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a
liner a minimum of 2" over the sleeve of
the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws.
Then seal the joint and screw heads with
high temperature sealant. Repeat with
the other liner.
NOTE: We recommend that the other
end of the exhaust liner be marked to
eliminate the exhaust liner being con-
nected to the intake collar at the unit.
2. Gently stretch the liners to the re-
quired lengths and insert into the chim-
ney. Trim and fit the flashing plate to suit
the chimney termination. Place the air
terminal onto the top of the chimney. Make weather tight by sealing

FINISHING
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 Napoleon dealer.
OPTIONAL CHARCOAL EMBERS
GLOWING EMBERS
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon Fire-
places, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is different
in every installation. Take the time to carefully 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 be-
hind the tabs. The tabs maintain
an air space between the log and
the burner to facilitate combustion
air flow. Ensure that the back
of the log rests against the
bracket 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.
LOG PLACEMENT 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.
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).

W415-0384 / E / 01.04.08
Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that a con-
tinuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the door. Allow
several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Do not operate the main burner of the insert with the door
opened.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused
by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufac-
turing process 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.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE INSERT!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous 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 person. The fireplace area must be kept clear
and free of combustible 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 exposing both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening
and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brush-
ing, 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 burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the
thermocouple 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 open-
ings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5-10 second
total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult
your Napoleon dealer/distributor.
7. Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing. Replace
if necessary.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will
automatically start approximately 5-15 minutes after lighting the
fireplace insert and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after
the fireplace insert has been turned off. Use of the fan increases
the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings causing irrepara-
ble damage and must be prevented from coming into contact with the
blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition
is not covered by the warranty policy.

Natural gas has the air shutter set a 1/4" opening, propane has
the air shutter set at 3/8" opening. 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, allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be
established.
