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 region and it is important to know the specifi cs that apply to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
•The fi replace damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a fi replace insert or gas log.
•A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fi red appliances
•The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
•The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36".
•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 fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install the BGD36CF(G) and BGD42CF to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes. 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 ZA240 MH Series in Canada or the Manufactured Home Construc- tion and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.
The fireplace and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure 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 shut off 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 fi replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace 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 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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
All sections with BGD36CF(G) are common to both the BGD36CF and the BGD36CFG.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN TEST- FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!

Maximum input for the BGD36CF(G) is 17,000 BTU/h for natural gas and propane. Maximum output for natural gas and propane is 10,900 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 64% with the fan on. The A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization effi ciency) rating is 53% for natural gas and propane.
BGD42CF
Maximum input for the BGD42CF is 24,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. Maximum output for natural gas and propane is 16,000 BTU/hr at an effi ciency of 67% with the fan on. The A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization effi ciency) rating is 61.5% for natural gas and propane.
When the fi replace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certifi ed high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5" water column for natural gas and 11" water column for propane.
Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane. Manifold pressure under fl ow condi- tions is 3.5" water column for natural gas and 10" water column for propane.
This fi replace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate accessibil- ity clearance for servicing and operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The BGD36CF(G) and BGD42CF are factory equipped with tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16" for both models. Use only replacement glass available from your Napoleon® dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fi replace glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent discoloration and / or blemishes may result.
