INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must be electrically connected and grounded in accor-
dance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or
the ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
1. Turn off the gas supply to the fireplace, if
necessary. Mount the variable speed switch: in-
sert the rheostat stem through the 3/8" diameter
hole in the pedestal and from the front secure
withthepalnut.Add the knob.
2. Reachingin from the backofthe unit, locate
the bracket holding the heat sensor as shown to
the weld stud and secure using one of the #6
nuts.
3. Attach the bare end of wire (A) to the black
wire of the speed switch using a nut connector.
Attachtheflag connector at the other end to one
of the prongs of the heat sensor.
4. Inserttheuniversalbushing into the 7/8" di-
ameter hole in the back of the pedestal.
5. Threadtheleadsof the power cord through
the slot located at the bottom left of the stove
backpanel. Attachtheterminalofthegroundwire
(green) to the threaded weld stud and secure
with a nut. 6. Connect one bare lead of wire (B) to the white wire of the speed switch
usinga nut connector. Connect theother end tothebare lead wireof the blower
cord using a nut connector.
7. Attach the other terminal of
thewire(alreadyattached to the
blower) to the heat sensor. One
end must be pushed through the
bushingin order toconnect tothe
blowerprong.
8. Mount the cord terminal to
the other blower prong.
9. Using the holes shown, at-
tach the blower to the back stove panel.
10. Bring out any slack in the blower cord. Place the cord into the split
strain relief bushing, just at the point where the cord enters the slot. Clamp the two pieces together and insert the bushing
securely into the slot.
Leak test using a soap and water solution, if the gas supply was disconnected at the valve. Because the blower is thermally
activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run for

PHAZERTM logs and charcoal embers, exclusive to Napoleon Fireplaces,provideauniqueand realistic glowing effect that is
different in every installation. Take the time to carefully position the charcoal embers for a maximum glowing effect.
1. Placethe front log onto themain burner,placing it 1/4" - 3/8"away from the burner portsto avoid blocking/covering them.
Theleft and right spacingbetweenthe log ends andtheburner ports should beequal. Press down ontotheskewering screws.
YOU MAY FIND IT EASIER TO PLACE SOME CHARCOAL EMBERS BENEATH THE FRONT LOG NOW.
2. Placetheback log onto the log support brackets locatedonthe rear wall of the combustion chamber. The notchsituated
at the lower left of the back log should be centered evenly above the pilot assembly. FIGURE 13.
3. While supporting the back log, to prevent it from falling forward, set the three smaller logs into the pockets and grooves
of the front and back logs, respectively.
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.
CHARCOAL EMBERS: Randomly place theembers beneath the frontlog,
covering all of the burner area beneath the hollowed out section of the
log. FIGURE 14. Place the remaining embers along the front. Keep
ember dust away from burner ports to avoid plugging them.
Fine dust found in bottom of bag not to be used. PHAZERTM logs
and charcoal embers glow when exposed to direct flame. Use only
certified PHAZERTM logs and charcoal embers available from your
Napoleon/WolfSteel Ltd. dealer.

OPERATION/MAINTENANCE
SPILL SWITCHSPILL SWITCH
SPILL SWITCHSPILL SWITCH
SPILL SWITCH
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the dilution draft hood, 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-offto prevent a build up ofcarbonmonoxide or an explosion of unburntgasesduring start up. If theflueis 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 CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE DEATH.
PURGE ALL GAS LINES WITH THE GLASS DOOR OF THE STOVE REMOVED. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS
AT THE BURNER BEFORE INSTALLING THE DOOR. ALLOW SEVERAL MINUTES (5-15) FOR THE FLAME TO STABILIZE
AFTER IGNITION.
VENTING ACTION CHECK: A CHECK FORCORRECTVENTING ACTION MUST
BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER.
Test in the following manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home /
turnfireplacebloweroff(if equipped).
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and hold it along the edge of the dilution hood
visiblethroughthe rear wall opening and extend it 1" into thedilutionhood.
4. Venting action issatisfactoryif smoke isdrawninto the draftdilution hood and
theflame rises vertically andslightly to theright.Ventingaction isunsatisfactory if the
smoke spills back, and the flame splays horizontally and back towards you.
5. If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try
again.Ifthesmoke or flame is still not drawn into the draft dilution hood,turnthe unit
off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified inspector.

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few
hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the
logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manu-
facturing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to suf-
ficientlyventilatethe room. After extended periods of non-operation such
asfollowing a vacation or awarmweather season, the fireplace mayemit
a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat
exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

VENTURIADJUSTMENT
To access the venturi, remove the four screws securing the burner to the base;
slide to the left, lift up and out. Natural gas models have air shutters set at 1/16
(.063) inch open. Propane gas models have air shutters set at 5/16 (.313) inch
open. 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 the burner ports. The flame may not appear yellow immedi-
ately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.
Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a qualified gas installer!
