FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 45,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
40,000BTU/hr for 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 36,900 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 82%
with the fan on, 78.4% with the fan off; and 33,200 BTU/hr
for propane at an efficiency of 83% with the fan on, 80%
with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization
Efficiency) rating is 64%.
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.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-
ing 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 discol-
ouration and / or blemishes may result.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Pro-
vide adequate accessibility 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.

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.
• 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.
Suitable for mobile home installation if installed in
accordance with the current standard CAN/CSA Z240MH
Series, for gas equipped mobile homes, in Canada or ANSI
Z223.1 and NFPA 54 in the United States.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure 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 extend-
ing the full width and depth.
The optional heat circulating blower is supplied with a cord. If
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 ELEC-
TRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, install to the current standard
for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Se-
ries in Canada or the manufactured home construction
and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire
