ITY!
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. For elevations between 2,000 and
4,500 feet above sea level, this fireplace must be de-rated
by 10% using the certified high altitude kit. When the
fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the
absense of specific recommendations from the local
authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input
rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional
1,000ft.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more
evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / con-
traction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles
are normal and to be expected.

THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER-
VICED BYAQUALIFIED 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
posiiton 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
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas
Code,ANSI Z223.1,and NFPA54inthe UnitedStates.Mobile
home installation 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 orANSI Z223.1and NFPA54 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove
opened. 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.
All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/
2 psig (3.5 kPa). The stove 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 stove.
The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri-
cally 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/NFPA70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICALCODE 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.

W415-0098/C/04.19.06
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept
within the required distances, the most desirable
and benefical location for a Napoleon stove is in
the centre 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 stove is to be located should be con-
sidered. If possible, you should choose a loca-
tion where the vent will pass through the house
without cutting a floor or roof joist.
Provideadequate ventilation andcombustionair.
Provideadequate accessibilityclearancefor servicingand operatingthe stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
For optimum flame appear-
ance and stove perfor-
mance, keep the vent
length and number of el-
bows to a minimum. On
extreme vent configura-
tions, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to
stabilize after lighting. 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.
The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90oelbow
located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 4.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise
immediately above the stove is 20 feet FIGURE 5.
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES
ARE NECESSARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST
BE DEDUCTED FROM THE HORIZONTAL RUN.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a side-
walk or paved driveway which is located betweeen
two single family dwellings and serves both dwell-
ings. Local codes or regulations may require dif-
ferent clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on hori-
zontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled
tight. a 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner
liner and outer stove pipe is required for safe op-
eration. Use a firestop when penetrating interior
walls, floor or ceiling.
All horizontal runs must have a minimum ¼ inch
rise per foot.
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct
Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components.
Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal
and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for ei-
ther system are set out in this manual and must be ad-
hered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American MetalAmerivent, follow the installation procedure
provided with the venting components.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust
flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant
maybe used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake
vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except
for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high tempera-
ture sealant Mill Pac. High temperature sealant must be
ordered separately.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased
from the corresponding supplier:

When using Napoleon venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of
ventingincluded), or 1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111,
FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 or STOVEPERISCOPE
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-
tion with the appropriate venting components.
These vent kits allow for either hori-
zontal or vertical venting of the
stove.FIGURES 4, 5, & 6. The maxi-
mum number of 4" flexible connec-
tions is two horizontally or three
vertically (excluding the stove and
the air terminal connections).
When terminating vertically, the
minimum vertical rise is 34 inches
above the stove and the maximum
vertical rise is 40 feet. FIGURE 3.
Deviation from the minimum ver-
tical vent length can create diffi-
culty in burner start-up and/or
carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping
to the stove for ease of installation.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through
unheated spaces be wrapped in a protective sleeve to
minimize condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See
Trouble Shooting for details.

Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for
vertical rises between 29 and 57 inches. FIGURE 7.
When calculating maximum run lengths, include 10 feet for
each 90° elbow or 5 feet for each 45° elbow.
(DO NOT INCLUDE THE FIRST ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF
THE UNIT.)
When a horizontal run is introduced, even though the termi-
nal may be vertical, the installation must be considered
HORIZONTAL.
A through the roof installation requires a total 5 foot rise.
FIGURE 8. The location of the fireplace dictates a horizontal
run of 5 feet. What is the required vertical rise to the centre
of the initial 90° elbow?
The total run is: 5 ft. (through the roof vertical rise)
10 ft. (90° elbow)
5 ft. (horizontal run)
20 ft. (total run)
Using the chart, will determine
that a 57 inch minimum vertical
rise immediately off the unit is
required for satisfactory venting
conditions.
ALTHOUGH THE IMMEDIATE
VERTICAL RUN MAY BE
GREATER THAN 57 INCHES, THE
MAXIMUM COMBINATION OF
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
RUNS, BEYOND THE 57 INCHES,
MUST NOT EXCEED 20 FEET.
If a first run of 72 inches is
required, using the "First Vent
Run" on the chart shows that
a maximum second run of
48 inches is allowable.
IF NECESSARY, THE
FIRST RUN AND THE
SECOND RUN MAY BE
REVERSED.

This application occurs
when venting through an ex-
terior wall. FIGURES
5, 6, & 13. Having deter-
mined the air terminal loca-
tion, cut and frame a hole in
an exterior wall with a mini-
mum square or round open-
ing of 9". (As an alternative
to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, en-
suring a 1" clearance to
combustibles. See
Figure 11.)
THESTOVE PIPE MUST RISE ¼" PER FOOTOF RUN.
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. Do not fill this cavity with any type of material.
This application occurs when venting through a roof.
FIGURE 13. Installationkitsfor various roofpitches are avail-
able from your Napoleon dealer. See Accessories to order
the specific kit required.
1. Determine the air ter-
minal location and move
the stove into position.
Cut and frame 9 inch
openings in the ceiling
and the roof to provide the
minimum 1 inch clear-
ance between the stove
pipe 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
openings.
Do not fill this space with any type of material.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu-
lation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.

OR
FORSAFEAND PROPEROPERATION OFTHESTOVE,FOLLOW THEVENTING INSTRUCTIONSEXACTLY.
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 stove. Ensure that both
spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to com-
bustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final posi-
tion, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent
(in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the open-
ing in the ceiling. FIGURE 14. Afirestop must be placed on
the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that
the venting system passes through. FIGURE 13. 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 stove. Ensure that both spacer and
shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles.
Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply
sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.
3. 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.

flex liner.
4. Thread the air terminal connector
/ liner assembly down through the
roof. The air terminal must be located
vertically and plumb. Attach the air
terminal connector to the roof support,
ensuringthat the top of the air terminal
is 16” above the highest point that it
penetrates the roof.
5. Remove nails from the
shingles, above and to the sides
of the chimney. Place the flashing
over the air terminal connector
leaving a min. 3/4” of the air
terminal connector showing
above the top of the flashing.
Slide the flashing
underneath the sides and
upper edge of the shingles.
Ensure that the air terminal
connector is properly centred
within the flashing, giving a
3/4” margin all around.
Fasten to the roof. Do not
nail through the lower
portion of the flashing. Make
weather-tight by sealing
with caulking. Where
possible, cover the sides
and top edges of the
flashing with roofing
material.
6. Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal
connector, place the terminal over the air terminal connector
making sure the liner goes into the hole in the terminal.
Secure with the three screws provided.
7. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Note: Maintain a minimum 2” space
between the air inlet base and the storm collar. Install the
storm collar around the air terminal and slide down to the
caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal
between the air terminal and the collar is achieved.

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" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
The fireplace is equipped with two 5/16" diameter holes
located near each corner of the base. For mobile home
installations, the fireplace must be fastened in place. Use
#10 screws, inserted through the holes in the base to se-
cure. It is recommended that the fireplace be secured in all
installations.
1. Attach the ad-
justable pipe to
the last section of
rigid piping. Se-
cure with screws
and seal.
2. Install the 4"
aluminum flexible
liner to the stove.
Secure with 3
screws and flat
washers. Seal the
joint and screw
holes using Mill
Pac high tem-
perature sealant
not supplied.
3. Run a bead of
red RTV high tem-
perature sealant
around the inside
of the air intake
collar. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum 2" into the air
intake collar.
Ensure that the sealant is not visible on the exte-
rior pipes once installation is completed. An op-
tional decorative brass band is available for this
use. (Standard with a GD175 kit). In the event that
the venting must be disassembled, care must be
taken to reseal the venting.

This is a thermally activated switch, attached
to the back of the chimney adapter, which
senses the change in temperature and shuts
down the gas valve in the event of a severe
downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected
vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a
build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion
of unburnt gases during start up. If the flue is
blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically
shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10 minutes.
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CAR-
BON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE
DEATH.
VENTINGACTION CHECK: ACHECK
FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION
MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE IN-
STALLEDSTOVEIS LEFTWITH THE
CUSTOMER. Test in the following
manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in
the room / start exhaust fans in the
home / turn fireplace blower off (if
equipped).
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the
hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adapter.
4. Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Vent-
ing action is unsatisfactory if the flame extinguishes.
5. If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait
10 minutes and try again. If the match does not stay lit, turn
the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If nec-
essary, consult with a qualified inspector.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the
door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabi-
lize after ignition.
The purpose of the turbo burner is to increase heat output
or BTUs of the unit and will only operate when the main
burner is functioning. To turn the turbo burner on, simply
depress the burner control knob (located in the valve com-
partment at the left hand side below the piezo ignitor) and
rotate the knob counter-clockwise to 'high'.
The turbo burner flame can be observed on the reflective
surface in the back right corner of the firebox.
The burner flame height may now adjusted to achieve the
heat output required. Because the flame is very efficient it
will burn a very blue, almost transparent colour.
To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to
'high'; depress the knob and turn to 'off'.
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top
left corner on models GDS50 and GS50.
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 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 win-
dow to sufficiently ventilate the room.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRI-
CAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE
STOVE!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This stove 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 assem-
bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut-
ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by
vacuuming 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
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 openings 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/dis-

For the air shutter settings, see 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; allow
15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
