THISGASFIREPLACESHOULDBEINSTALLEDANDSER-
VICED 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.
• 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 National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA
B149, Installation Codes.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fire-
place removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow
is at the burner before installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several
minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after igni-
tion.
Altitudes greater than 4000ft. require a minimum
vent run of 12ft.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nectedfromthegassupplypipingsystemduringanypressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess 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).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the stove.
Thisfireplacemust be connected toany accepted lined chim-
ney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL-1777 (in
USA).Theventingconnectionmustbe in compliance with the
vent manufacturers installation instructions.
The draft hood must be installed so it is in the same atmo-
spheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the
fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Provide
adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and op-
erating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening
of the fireplace.
This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombustible
woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only.
The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be
installed is:
HEIGHT 17½ inches WIDTH 25½ inches DEPTH 16½
inches
The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible
mantle projecting 6" maximum from the wall to the top of the
unit, is 8".
The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically connected
andgrounded in accordance withlocal codes. Inthe absence
oflocal codes, use the currentCSAC22.1 CANADIAN ELEC-
TRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICALCODE in the United States. The blower power
cord must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle.
Thegroundingprongmustnotberemoved from the cord plug.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 24,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
22,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific
recommendationsfrom the local authority having jurisdiction,
the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the
rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum output for
naturalgas is 15,900 BTU/hrand 16,000 BTU/hrfor propane.
Minimuminletgassupplypressure is 4.5 inches water column
for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. This
fireplaceis certified forbedroom and bedsitting room installa-
tion.Maximuminlet gas pressure is7inches water column for
naturalgasand13 inches water column for propane.Manifold
pressureunder flow conditionsis 3.5 incheswater column for
natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
downcycles are normaland to beexpected. Change in flame
appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natural gas
than in propane.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass
available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. Do not
substitute materials.Cleantheglassafter the first10 hours
ofoperationwith a recommended gasfireplaceglass 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.
