This insert 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 flame is large enough to

engulf the thermocouple 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 as necessary. Re-
place.
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures that the hinges expe-
rience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause the
hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.

PURGE THE GAS LINE WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN.
