Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16” ceramic glass avail-
able from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT
SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the fi rst
10 hours of operation with a recommended gas fi replace
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.

This fi replace may

be installed in an aftermarket permanently

located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited
by local codes.
This fi replace is only for use with the type of gas indicated
on the rating plate. This fi replace is not convertible for use
with other gases, unless a certifi ed kit is used.

No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required for
the gas system operation.

Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change in
fl ame appearance from “HI” to “LO” is more evident in natural
gas than in propane.

FIGURES 2A-C

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp
or American Metal Amerivent venting components.

Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.

For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and American
Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure provided
with the venting components.

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust fl ue,
only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a red high
temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant maybe used
on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints
of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust
vent pipe connection to the fi replace fl ue collar which must
be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased from
the corresponding supplier:

When using Napoleon venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel Ltd. rigid / fl exible vent components with the
following termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222R, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMINAL
KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall penetration
below grade). With fl exible venting, in conjunction with the
various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit GD220 or
the 10 foot vent kit GD330. These vent kits allow for either
horizontal or vertical venting of the fi replace.

The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet
using fl exible venting.
The maximum number of allowable 4”
vent connections is three horizontally or vertically (exclud-
ing the fi replace and the air terminal connections).

For optimum fl ame appearance and fi replace performance,
keep the vent length and number of elbows to a minimum.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times. Ex-
amine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is
unobstructed and undamaged.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS

Horizontal runs may have a 0 inch rise per foot in all
cases using SIMPSON DURA-VENT or NAPOLEON RIGID
OR FLEXIBLE venting components when venting as il-
lustrated in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c.

VENTING

VENTING LENGTHS & AIR TERMINAL

When venting, the horizontal run must be kept to a
minimum of 16 inches or a maximum of 20 feet. If a 20
foot horizontal run is required, the fi replace must have
a minimum vertical rise immediately off the fi replace of
57 inches. FIGURES 2a-c. When terminating vertically,
the vertical rise is a minimum 34 inches and a maximum
40 feet above the fi replace. FIGURE 3.

For optimum performance, it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec-
tion to the fi replace after the fi replace is installed.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal
or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼”
air gap between the inner and outer liner all around is
required for safe operation.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics,
garages, crawl space) should be wrapped with a protec-
tive insulation sleeve to minimize condensation.
Use a fi restop when penetrating interior walls, fl oor or
ceiling.
For safe and proper operation of the fi replace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can cre-
ate diffi culty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
