WARNING:WARNING:
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermo-
couple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool.
When lighting and relighting, the gas knob cannot be turner from PILOT to OFF unless the knob is depressed.
1. STOP! Read the safety information on the operating
label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor, STOP! Follow "B" on the op-
erating label. If you don't smell gas go to the next step.
5. Find pilot located in front of the back log.
6. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise
to pilot.
7. Depress and hold the gas knob while lighting the pilot
with the push button igniter. Keep knob fully depressed
for one minute, then release. If the pilot does not con-
tinue to burn, repeat steps 3 through 6.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off the gas and unplug electrical
power before servicing the stove!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This stove and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service per-
son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours
and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assem-
bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut-
ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by
vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean
out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not
burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flames are large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and the thermopile on one leg
and reaches toward the burner on the other leg.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely
on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned
on. A 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If
ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer/dis-
tributor.
7. Check that the door gasketing is not broken or miss-
ing. Replace if necessary.
8. Lift the door from its hinges to clean hinge pins and
lubricate using high-temp dry graphite if necessary. Re-
place.
NOTE:
Due to the high temperatures that the hinges ex-
perience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause
the hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.
