If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration
and / or blemishes may result.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED 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, ie: in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in
the open position prior to installation of a fireplace
insert.
• 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.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-1988 in the
United States. 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 or ANSI Z223.1-
1988 and NFPA 54-1988 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)fortheflametostabilizeafterignition.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontalrunshave a ¼ inch riseperfoot.
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
½ psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip-
ing system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig
(3.5 kPa)
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/NFPA 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICALCODE inthe
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.

LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provideadequateaccessibilityclearance forservicing
and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
GDS28 AND GS28:
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the
required distances, the most desirable and beneficial lo-
cation 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 consid-
ered. If possible, you should choose a location where the
vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or
roof joist.
FIGURE2
VENTING LENGTHS AND AIR TERMI-
NAL LOCATIONS
Use only Wolf Steel or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS
venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com-
ponents. Both Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting
components may have a 0" rise per foot on horizontal runs.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only the
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' of
ventingincluded),or1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD110, 8/12 TO 12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111,
FLAT ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD112 orSTOVEPERISCOPE
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-
tion with the appropriate venting components.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - GDS28
These vent kits allow for either
horizontal or vertical venting of
the stove. FIGURES 3, 4, & 5.
The maximum number of 4"
flexible connections is two hori-
zontally or three vertically (ex-
cluding 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.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
createdifficultyinburnerstart-upand/or carboning.
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid pip-
ing to the stove for ease of installation.

HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
SPECIAL INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
When a horizontal offset is required in a through-the-roof
installation, the following procedure for vent length calcula-
tions must be followed:
Inaninstallation as shown in FIGURE 7,
lengths A and C are known based on
room height and roof requirements.
Length C must never be less than 29
inches. Any 90° and 45° elbows must
be calculated as 5 feet of venting
each.
The allowable horizontal run can be cal-
culated using these parameters. In this
example, the total vertical height is 20
feet (length "A" is required to be 11 feet
while length "C" needs to be 9 feet). The
maximum vertical length is 40 feet and
all runs and elbows must be subtracted
from this maximum vertical length.
The maximum allowable horizontal run that "B" can be is:
40 ft. (maximum vertical run length)
-11 ft. (through the roof vertical rise "A")
-10 ft. (2 - 90° elbow)
- 9 ft. (vertical run "C")
10 ft. (maximum allowable horizontal length for "B")
The length of "B" must never be greater than the length
of "A" and "C" combined.

FIGURE6 CALCULATED HORIZONTAL VENT RUN IN FEET
For optimum flame appearance and stove performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
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 90° elbow
located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 4.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise
immediately above the stove is 20 feet . Figures 5.
If vertical rises greater than 57 inches are necessary,
the increased rise must be deducted from the maxi-
mumhorizontalrun.
Use chart, Figure 6, to calculate horizontal runs for vertical
rises between 29 and 57 inches.
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.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs when
venting through a roof. FIGURE 3.
Installation kits for vari-
ous roof pitches are
available from your Na-
poleon dealer. See Ac-
cessories to order the
specific kit required.
1. Determine the air terminal 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 clearance be-
tween 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 open-
ings.
DONOTFILLTHIS SPACE WITHANYTYPEOFMATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu-
lation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.
FIGURE 15. Nail headers between the joist for extra sup-
port.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva-
lent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the
openinginthe 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, after the pipe
has been installed, slide the
vent pipe collar down to cover
up the open end of the shield
andtighten.Thiswillpreventany
materials, such as insulation,
from filling up the 1" air space
around the pipe. FIGURE15

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION: This application occurs
when venting through an
exterior wall. FIGURES
4, 5, & 11. Having deter-
mined the air terminal lo-
cation, cut and frame a hole
in an exterior wall with a
minimum square or round
opening of 9". (As an alter-
native to framing, a vent
pipe shield may be in-
stalled, ensuring a 1" clear-
ance to combustibles.
See Figure 12.)
For optimum performance, the stove pipe should rise
¼" per foot of 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. 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.

VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1. Fasten the roof
support to the roof us-
ing the screws pro-
vided. The roof support
is optional. In this case
the venting is to be ad-
equately supported
using either an alter-
nate method suitable
to the authority having
jurisdiction or the op-
tional roof support.
2. Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a
minimum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal.
Secure to the sleeve using 3 screws
and flat washers. Seal the joint and
screw heads using high temperature
sealant. Repeat using a 7" diameter
length of rigid piping.
If the attic space is tight, we rec-
ommend adding sufficient lengths
of 7" rigid piping, secured and
sealed as necessary.
3. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through
the roof support and attach, ensuring that a minimum 16"
of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened. The
air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.
4. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly
centered
within the
flashing, giv-
ing a 3/4"
margin all
around. Fas-
ten to the roof.
Do NOT nail
through the
lower portion
of the flash-
ing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where
possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flashing
with roofing material.
5. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between
the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.
Tighten securely.
6. Attach the vertical rain cap.
7. 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. Figure 15.
HORIZONTAL VENTING INSTALLATION
For safe and proper operation of the stove, follow the
ventinginstructionsexactly.
Forhorizontalruns,both WolfSteelandSimpsonDura-
vent venting components may have a 0" rise per foot.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
1. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminium flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface.
Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at predeter-
mined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer
stove pipe. These spacers must not be removed.
Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminium flexible liner a mini-
mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Secure
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
heads using the high temperature sealant provided.
2. Slip the first section of 7" diameter stove pipe a mini-
mum of 2" over the outer sleeve of the air terminal.Secure
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
heads using high temperature sealant.
3. Insert the liners through the firestop / vent pipe shield.
Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable
position), secure to the exterior wall. Make weather tight by
sealing with caulking (not supplied). The air terminal mount-
ing plate may be recessed (up to 3/4" maximum) into the
exterior wall or siding.
4. If more than one length of liner needs to be used to
reach the stove, couple them together as illustrated in
FIGURE 17. Seal the joints using the same procedure as
described above.
The vent system must be supported approximately every
10 feet along a horizontal run. Use supports or equivalent
non-combustible strapping to maintain the 1" clearance
from combustibles.

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.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
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.
STOVE VENT CONNECTION
1. Attach the adjustable pipe to the last section of rigid
piping. Secure with screws and seal.
2. Install the 4" aluminium flexible liner to the stove. Se-
cure with 3 screws and flat washers. Seal the joint and
screw holes using the high temperature sealant provided.
3. Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the
inside of the air intake collar. Pull the adjustable pipe a
minimum 2" into the air intake collar.

FINISHING
LOG PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
PHAZERTM logs, glowing embers and charcoal embers ex-
clusive to Napoleon Fireplaces, glow when exposed to di-
rect flame and provide a unique and realistic glowing effect
that is different in every installation. Use only certified
PHAZERTM logs, glowing embers and charcoal embers
available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Positioning the logs improperly will cause flame
impingement and carboning.
Place the back log into the firebox pushing it as close to the
firebox wall as possible and centered onto the log support
pan. FIGURES31

the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the
exposed edges of the fibre hairs will glow when exposed
to direct flame; however care should be taken to not block
the burner ports. Blocked ports can cause an incorrect flame
pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition.

MODEL GS28 ONLY: VENTING ACTION
CHECK
A check for correct venting action must be made
before theinstalledstoveisleft withthecustomer.
Test in the following manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start
exhaust fans in the home / turn fire-
place 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. Venting action is
unsatisfactory if the flame extin-
guishes.
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 restric-
tion. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. As-
sure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door. Allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
MODEL GS28 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH
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 shutoff to prevent a build up of
carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburnt gases dur-
ing 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.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off the gas and unplug electrical
power before servicing the stove!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing 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 flames are large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and the thermopile 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-
tributor.
7. Check that the door gasketing is not broken or miss-
ing. Replace if necessary.
8. Lift the door from its hinges to clean hinge pins and
lubricate using high-temp dry graphite if necessary. Re-
place.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Remove the 2 screws securing the control panel plate. To
access the venturi, remove the air housing cover plate, held
on with 2 screws. Take care not to damage the gasket.
Natural gas and propane models have air shutters set fully
open. Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame,
but can lead to carboning. The flame may not appear yel-
low immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame
colour to be established. After making adjustments re-
place the gasket and cover plate. Re-secure the control
panel plate.

Air shutter adjustment must only be
done by a qualified gas installer!
