GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to re- gion 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 CAN/CGA - B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, install to the current stand- ard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or the manufactured home construction and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations, Sites and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 5OIA in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace open. 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.
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 flooring, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional heat circulating blower is installed, the blower must be electrically connected and grounded in accord- ance 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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
Minimum clearance to combustible construc- tion from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom, and top | 0 inches |
vent pipe | 1 inch |
recessed depth (corner installation) 25¼ inches

GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERA- TIONS AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/h for natural gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdic- tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum out- put for natural gas is 20,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 68% with the fan on.
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.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed- sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION. Expan- sion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
If utilizing one of Wolf Steel's trim or surround kits, follow the framing instructions on page 14 and the finishing in- structions on page 23, for removal of the top extension.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" tempered glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
If the door glass should crack or break, do not operate the fireplace. Replace only with a door assembly certified with the fireplace. See DOOR, LOUVRE AND TRIM INSTALLA- TION for removal and replacement details. 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.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Provide a means for visually checking the vent con- nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed. In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
