This fireplace is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting room
installation.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The fireplace is factory
equipped with 3/16" thick tempered glass. Use only re-
placement glass available from your Napoleon 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.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for serv-
icing 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.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace fol-
low the venting & operating instructions exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent
connection to the fireplace after the fireplace is
installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula-
tion and vapour barrier coming into 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
wall of the home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

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 excess
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 fan or blower is installed, the junction box
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
