THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. Installation practices vary from region to re-
gion 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 National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGA
B149, Installation Codes.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the
fireplace removed. Assure that a continuous gas
flow is at the burner before installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several
minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after igni-
tion.
Altitudes greater than 4000ft. require a minimum
vent run of 12ft.
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).
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the stove.
This fireplace must be connected to any accepted lined
chimney system listed to ULC-S635M (in Canada) or UL-
1777 (in USA). The venting connection must be in compli-
ance with the vent manufacturers installation instructions.
The draft hood must be installed so it is in the same atmo-
spheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the
fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air. Pro-
vide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front open-
ing of the fireplace.
This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombus-
tible woodburning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry) only.
The minimum fireplace size in which the heater is to be
installed is:
HEIGHT 17½ inches WIDTH 25½ inches DEPTH 16½ inches
The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible
mantle projecting 6" maximum from the wall to the top of
the unit, is 8".
The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically con-
nected 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 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.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 24,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
22,000 BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absense 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 15,900 BTU/hr and 16,000 BTU/hr for
propane.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for
propane. This fireplace is certified for bedroom and
bedsitting room installation. 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.
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 to be expected. Change in
flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in natu-
ral 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 available 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.
