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

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 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. Pro-
vide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and
operating the fireplace. Never obstruct the front open-
ing 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 follow the
venting & operating instructions exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec-
tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
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.
FIGURE 1
This gas fireplace should be installed and serviced 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,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in
the open position prior to installation of the 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 the fireplace to the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the
current CAN/CGA B149, Installation Codes.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected 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
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.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS
BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION
AND QUALITY! Maximum input for the fireplace is
17,000 BTU/h for natural gas and propane. When the
fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in
the absense of specific recommendations from the local
authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude
input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft.
