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 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.
•A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances.
•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
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit. The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ 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 ½ 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.
The fireplace, when installed with a blower, 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
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. When the valve is set to "HI", the manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, 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.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
Maximum input is 11,500 BTU/hr for natural gas. Maximum output for natural gas is 8,600 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 75%. Maximum input is 11,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for propane gas is 8,250 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 75%.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the fireplace.
Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
Provided that the clearance to combustibles are achieved, the most desirable and beneficial location for a Napoleon® fireplace 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 fireplace is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
RATING LABEL LOCATION: The rating label is located
under the control panel and is chained to the fireplace.
DO NOT REMOVE.
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" ceramic glass available from your Napoleon®
/Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. 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.
