GENERAL INFORMATION
For your satisfaction, this stove has been test-fired
to assure its operation and quality!
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 pres-
sure 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 4,500 ft., and
in the absence of specific recommendations from the lo-
cal authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude
input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000 ft.
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more
evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / con-
traction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles
are normal and to be expected.
GDS28: Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural
gas and 26,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for
natural gas is 25,500 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 85% with
the fan on and 75% with the fan off. Maximum output for
propane is 22,360 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 86% with the
fan on and 76% with the fan off. Maximum A.F.U.E. (annual
fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 76% for natural gas and
77% for propane. This stove is not approved for closet or
recessed installations. It is approved for bathroom, bed-
room and bed-sitting room installations.
This stove may be installed in an aftermarket permanently
located, manufactured mobile home, where not prohibited
by local codes.
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.
GS28: Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural
gas and 26,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum
output for natural gas is 24,600 BTU/hr at an
efficiency of 82% with the fan on and 80% with
the fan off; and 21,600 BTU/hr for propane at an
efficiency of 83% with the fan on and 80% with
the fan off. This stove is approved for bedroom
and bed-sitting room installations.
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 Na-
poleon / 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.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED 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, ie: in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in
the open position prior to installation of a fireplace
insert.
• 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.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA 54-1988 in the
United States. Mobile home installation must conform
with local codes or in the absence of local codes, install
to the current standard for gas equipped mobile housing
CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or ANSI Z223.1-
1988 and NFPA 54-1988 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a ¼ inch rise per foot.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The stove 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
½ psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip-
ing system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig
(3.5 kPa)
The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri-
cally 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 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States. The blower power cord must be connected
into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong
must not be removed from the cord plug.
