2.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
4.1A
THIS GAS APPLIANCE 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:
• This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth
of Massachusetts.
• The appliance damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a appliance
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.
• A Carbon Monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent
sealed combustion product.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, the National Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 in Canada, or the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United
States. Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in
accordance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH
Series, for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or
A
NSI Z223.1 and NFPA 54 in the United States.
A
s long as the required clearance to combustibles is
maintained, the most desirable and beneficial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby
allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the
room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location
where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood
flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
Some appliances have optional fans or blowers. If an optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with 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.
We suggest that our gas
hearth products be installed
and serviced by professionals

3.0 INSTALLATION
68.4
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning appliance. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning
appliance 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 appliance damper
or lock into an open position.
Using screws, attach the appliance warning tag
to the inside of the firebox of the appliance into
which the insert is being installed.
The sheet-metal parts of the appliance, in which
the gas appliance insert is to be installed, must
not be cut.
If the wood-burning factory-built appliance has
no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be drilled through the lower sides or
bottom of the appliance in a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combus
-
tible insulation 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 existing appli-
ance before installing the gas appliance insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the existing appliance 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.
!
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.
IF USING CO-AXIAL VENTING WITH SPACERS, THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3
FEET FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM
COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT
PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF
EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.

3.1 LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE
Move the appliance close to its final position. This appliance is equipped with levelling screws located on the
base. Level using the levelling screws. Levelling the appliance will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when
the fan is in operation. Once the appliance is level, move it partially into place to allow for all connections to be
made. It is not practical to level the appliance once it has been installed. Determine the required depth prior to
installing the appliance and adjust the levelling screws accordingly. 67.2

W415-0734 / B / 11.05.10
3.2 CHIMNEY CONNECTION
A. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a liner a minimum of 2" over the
collar of the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws. Then seal the
joint and screw heads with high temperature sealant. Repeat
with the other liner to the exhaust collar of the terminal.
NOTE: Connect the supplied 3' of stainless steel flex liner
to the exhaust liner (already attached to the terminal)
using the coupler (also supplied). Secure and seal before
dropping down the chimney.
B. Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and appliance
into the chimney. Place the terminal onto the top of the chimney
cap and fit the flashing plate to suit. Make weather tight by sealing with
caulking (not supplied) and fasten to the chimney with screws and plugs
(not supplied).
C. NOTE: If there is not enough ceiling height between the fireplace
and the appliance to allow the flex liner connection on the top of

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. Recommended Napoleon® kits come in 3 lengths:
While the liners must be continuous from the appliance to the chimney cap, to achieve the needed length, they
may be coupled, using an aluminium coupler, provided installation is sealed & secured.
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.
This appliance is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a 3" liner for exhaust. For best
performance, however, it is recommended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it is necessary to adjust the primary air shutter. See "Air Shutter
Settings".

assembly. Both the back wall and log support are detached by removing the 12 perimeter screws of
the back wall and the 3 screws located at the back of the log support. Remove the vent connection
assembly. NOTE: The vent connection assembly collars are not specific until the stainless steel
flex liner has been attached to one side. This now designates the side as exhaust. The exhaust
collar must be positioned closest to the front
opening of the appliance. Secure and seal the flex
liners.
E. To reinstall the vent connection assembly, reach
in through the appliance and manoeuvre the vent
connection assembly through the opening in the firebox
top. Take care not to damage the gasket. Secure the
assembly using the four studs and ¼-20 hex nuts.
