The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess 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).
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or other combustible material other than wood floor-
ing, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box
must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use
the current ANSI/NFPA 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE in the United States.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FORYOUR SATISFACTION,THIS FIREPLACEHASBEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above
2,000ft, and in the absence 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.
Suitablefor mobilehome installationwherethe mobile
home has been permanently placed on its site. This
heatermustnotbeinstalled inabedroom orbathroom.
This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket per-
manentlylocated,manufactured(mobile)home,where
not prohibited by local codes.
This fireplace is only for use with the type of gas indi-
cated on the rating plate. This fireplace is not convert-
ible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is
used.
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.
Noexternalelectricity(110voltsor24volts)isrequired
for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-
ing down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
CARE OF OPTIONAL GLASS DOOR,
CATALYTIC TILES AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. This fireplace may have an
optional glass door which is equipped with 3/16" thick ce-
ramic glass. Use only replacement glass available from
yourNapoleon dealer.DO NOT SUBSTITUTEMATERIALS.
Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with a
recommended gas fireplace glass 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.
Catalytic tiles normally do not require cleaning. Physical
contact should be avoided. See Maintenance.
This heater is equipped with a pilot light safety
system referred to as an OXYGEN DEPLETION
SENSOR and is designed to turn off the heater if
not enough fresh air is available.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
MAY LEAD TO DEATH
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headache, dizziness
and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the
heatermaynotbeworking properly. Get fresh
air at once! Have heater serviced.
Some people---pregnant women, persons
with heart or lung disease, anaemia, those
under the influence of alcohol, those at high
altitudes---are moreaffected by carbonmon-
oxide than others.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR PROVISIONS
This heater shall not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construction unless pro-
visionsareprovidedforadequatecombustionand
ventilation air.
Thisfireplacemustbeinstalled againstafinished
wall. Do not install against a vapour barrier or
exposed insulation.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a con-
fined space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space as a space whose vol-
ume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appli-
ances installed in that space. Rooms communicating di-
rectly with the space in which the appliances are installed,
through openings not furnished with doors are consid-
ered a part of the unconfined space.
TheGVF30isratedat30,000BTUsperhourand
thereforerequiresaminimumunconfinedspace
of 1,500 cubic feet.
DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED
SPACE: To determine the volume of the room where the
heater is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the
ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoin-
ing rooms are connected by grills or openings such as
kitchen pass-throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms
may be added to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount
by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can
support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within
the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do
not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their
input and output air from and to the outdoors.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be oper-
ated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide
adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
INSTALLATION
FIGURE1
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 ÷ 50
If for example,
the length of the rooms is 10 feet,
the width of Room 1 is 10 feet,
the width of Room 2 is 15 feet
the height of the rooms is 8 feet.
The volume of Room 1: 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic feet.
The volume of Room 2: 10 x 15 x 8 = 1200 cubic feet.
EXAMPLE 2
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from
Room 2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In this
case the maximum BTU/h would be:
Maximum BTU/h: 800 x 1000 = 16,000 BTU/h
This would be considered a confined space since it can
not support the 30,000BTU/h input of the heater and it
would be necessary to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air to Room 1.
EXAMPLE 1
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining
room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to
the volume of the room with the heater to get a total
unconfined space.
The total unconfined space: 800 + 1200 = 2000 cubic feet.
Maximum BTU/h: 2000 x 1000 = 40,000 BTU/h
If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this
space then the 30,000 BTU/h input of the fireplace is suit-
able to be installed. This also assumes that the construc-
tion of this space is not unusually tight.

4. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall
switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a con-
venient location. Route a 2 strand, solid core millivolt wire
through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of
the unit. The recommended maximum lead length de-
pends on wire size:
WIRESIZE MAX.LENGTH
14gauge 100 feet
16gauge 60 feet
18gauge 40 feet
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the
gas valve.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or
gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
USINGDOOR OPTION:
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
Unusually tight construction is defined as con-
struction where:
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmos-
phere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a
rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with
openings gasketed or sealed, and
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between
wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and
gas lines, and at other openings.
An unvented room heater is recommended for use as a
secondary heat source rather than as a primary source.
Gas combustion produces water vapour which could oc-
cur at the rate of approximately one ounce of water for
every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather
season, indoor humidity levels tend to be low. Conse-
quently, this water vapour can enhance the living space.
However if a problem should occur:
a) ensure sufficient combustion and circulation air
b) use a dehumidifier
c) do not use the unvented room heater as a primary
heat source
Without sufficient fresh air for proper operation, poor fuel
combustion can result. Carbon Monoxide is a result of
poor combustion.
If additional fresh air is required, use one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
GAS INSTALLATION
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"ø
holes located at either end of the base.
2. Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if
local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas
valve and the copper tubing or flex connector.
DONOT KINKFLEXCONNECTOR.
3. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.

To install the fireplace face
flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to
accommodate the thick-
ness of the finished wall.
Bend out the four nailing
tabs, attached on either side
of the fireplace and secure
to the 2x4 framing. The tabs
will facilitate the installation
of either a 3/4" or a 1" finished
wall thickness. The nailing
tabs must not be removed.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face-
areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace
should be kept a minimum of 4 feet away from the front
face.
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed.
FRAMING
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 5-7.

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 onto the log support bracket,
located on the rear wall of the combustion chamber, push-
ing it as close to the firebox wall as possible. CENTRE it.
2. & 3. Centre the front log, as shown. The underside
of the log contains two cavities which are placed over the
locating screws on the burner.
4. Set the two smaller logs into the pockets and
grooves of the front and back logs, respectively.
HOOD
The curtain mesh must be kept fully closed during opera-
tion to help prevent accidental burns from occurring.
The heater must not be used when the hood is re-
moved. Hook the hood over the lip of the curtain support
plate.
OPTIONAL LOUVRE INSTALLATION &

GVF103-KT - PATENTED CATALYTIC
DOOR INSTALLATION
This unique patented catalytic system was designed to
provide unparalleled safety and peace of mind. The top of
the door contains four catalytic tiles which are designed to
filter out harmful gases and limit the carbon monoxide
output. It is likely that with the fireplace in operation, the
catalytic tiles will actually scrub the carbon monoxide nor-
mally found in the room and reduce it to a lower level. The
tiles must not be altered or removed. They are not field
serviceable and must be tested annually.
The heater with an optional catalytic door in place must not
be operated when using any products such as paint, paint
thinner, adhesives, etc. These products will permanently
affect the catalytic tiles’ ability to scrub the air.
1. The mesh must be removed if the catalytic door is used.
Remove the centre bracket and bend the curtain rod slightly
to disengage the rod from either side.
2. Remove the curtain support plate. Remove the two latch
securing screws, already installed, position latch as shown
in and re-secure with the screws. A ¼” socket ratchet
is recommended for this.
Repeat at the bottom. For location, see .
3. Screw the door hinge onto the heater by first starting
each of the five machine screws and then tightening all
screws.
4. & 5. Secure the door using the two latches.
Replace the hood by hooking it over the top lip of the door
assembly.
The heater must not be used when the hood is removed.
Care must be taken when closing and opening the cata-
lytic door to avoid damaging the catalytic tiles.

BLOWER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
and must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the
currentANSI/NFPA 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE.
If the fireplace was
not previously
equipped with a
blower: route a
grounded 2-wire, 60hz
powercable tothejunc-
tion 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 run-
ning 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.
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 pro-
vided. Plug the harness cord
into the receptacle.
Thewireharnessprovidedinthiskitisauniversal
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
turnedon,itwillautomaticallystartapproximately
10minutes afterlightingthefireplaceandwillrun
for approximately 30-45 after the fireplace has
been turned off. Use of the fan increases the out-
put of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bear-
ings causing irreparable damage. Care must be
taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any
damage resulting from this condition is not cov-
ered by the warranty policy.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLA-
TION TO BE DONE BY A
QUALIFIED INSTALLER and
must be connected and
grounded in accordance with
local codes. In the absence
of local codes, use the cur-
rent ANSI/NFPA 70-1996 NA-
TIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE.
If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a
blower: route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the
junction box. At this point, it must be strain relieved and
insulated.
The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal har-
ness. When installed, ensure that any excess wire is con-
tained, preventing it from making contact with moving or
hot objects.
Position the vibration reducing pad into the clip and onto
the threaded stud at the other end, piercing a hole into the
pad. The fan assembly must be able to be positioned
entirely onto the pad.
Slide the fan assembly past the controls and into the clip.

This optional kit is meant to be used only in conjunction
with the GD65 Fan Kit, which may be ordered from your
Wolf Steel /Napoleon dealer.
With the thermostatic sensor option, the fan, when turned
on, becomes thermally activated, and will automatically
run approximately 10 minutes after the fireplace has been
lit and for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace
has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Unplug the power cord from the receptacle. Connect all
wires as shown.
Attach and secure the sensor assembly bracket to the
securing stud located next to the receptacle/junction box
at the bottom left of the unit using the lock washer and
wing nut. Ensure that the thermodisc touches the firebox
wall.
Plug the power cord back into the receptacle.
When installed, ensure that any excess wire is contained,
preventing it from making contact with moving or hot ob-
jects.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed.
1. STOP! Read the above safety information on this la-
bel.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
4. Open the control door. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow "B" in the
above safety information on this label. If you don't smell
gas go to the next step.
6. Find pilot located in front of the back log.
7. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
8. Depress and hold gas knob while lighting the pilot
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 push in and turn the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in and
turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified
service technician. Force or attempted repair may re-
sult 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.
WHAT TODOIF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLO-
SION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide
fresh air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serv-
iced. Keep burner and control compartment clean.
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 manufacturing
process and will not occur again.
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 burning off. In both cases, open a window to suf-
ficiently ventilate the room.

with the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue
to burn repeat steps 3 through 7.
9. With pilot lit, turn gas knob counter-clockwise to
on.
10. If equipped with remote on-off switch, main burner
may not come on when you turn the valve to on. Re-
mote switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.
11. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
TO TURN OFF GAS
1. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is to
be performed. 2. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clock-
wise to off. Do not force.

OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR PILOT
CLEANING
This procedure must be performed by a qualified
service person!
Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris
(usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fibre, etc.) and
remove.
Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line. Using a
7
/ 16 ”
wrench, remove the injector from the pilot housing. Blow
out the housing in the same direction as the gas flow.
Re-install the injector and the pilot tube, turn on the gas
and check for leaks.
If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot
with an exact replacement. The device is tamper resist-
ant with no field serviceable parts.
VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a
qualified gas installer!
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; al-
low 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
Opening the air shutter will also reduce exhaust odours
smelled within the room. See Trouble Shooting Guide.

MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servic-
ing. This heater should be inspected and serviced before
use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combus-
tible 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 oxygen deple-
tion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both as-
semblies.
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
burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ig-
nites the main burner.
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
ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / dis-
tributor.
7. If using an optional catalytic door, check that the
gasketing on the sides, and top of the door is not broken
or missing. Replace if necessary.
CATALYTIC TILE MAINTENANCE
The catalytic tile is not field serviceable. It may only be
handled or replaced by a qualified service person familiar
with the specific characteristics of the appliance. Both room
values and output from the catalytic tiles must be checked.
Check the room value with the heater off. Check the fire-
place value after 10 minutes of heater operation to allow
the tiles to come up to temperature.
In both cases the value of CO should not exceed 9ppm.
Catalytic output must be checked annually at the
beginning of the heating season.

TEST SOLUTION
PROBLEMSYMPTOM
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. Monitor
appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
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. Check with burner operating on "HI". Gauge should read
7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or 13" (11" mini-
mum) water column for propane.
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw
(B). Check with burner operating on "HI". Gauge should read 3.5"
water column for natural gas or 10" water column for propane.
