Care of glass, and plated parts
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change in flame appearance from “HI” to “LO” is more evident in natural gas than in propane.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16” ceramic glass avail- able 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.
vENTING
VENTING LENGTHS & air terminal
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
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, ga- rages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Ex- amine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all cases using simpson
When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a minimum of 16 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20 foot horizontal run is required, the fireplace must have a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fireplace of 57 inches. figures
Wolf Steel, Simpson
Follow the installation procedure provided with the venting components.
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant maybe used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the fireplace flue collar which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac. A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from the corresponding supplier:

When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap- proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / flexible vent components with the following termination kits: wall terminal kit gd222r, or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit gd110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit gd111, flat roof terminal kit gd112 or periscope kit GD201 (for wall penetration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit gd220 or the 10 foot vent kit gd330. These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the fireplace.
The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet
using flexible venting. The maximum number of allowable 4” vent connections is three horizontally or vertically (exclud- ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections).
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace performance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec- tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼” air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is required for safe operation.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl space) should be wrapped with a protec- tive insulation sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the venting instruction exactly.
