FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE INSERT
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. Manifold pressure 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 el-
evations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific rec-
ommendations 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.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-
ing down cycles are normal and to be expected.
Maximum input is 24,500 BTU/hr for natural gas and pro-
pane. Maximum output for natural gas and propane is
20,825 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 85% with the fan on. The
maximum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating
is 82%. This fireplace insert is not approved for closet or
recessed installations. It is approved for bathroom, bed-
room and bed-sitting room installations and is suitable for
mobile homes. The natural gas model is suitable for in-
stallation in a mobile home that is permanently positioned
on its site and fuelled with natural gas.
This insert must be recessed into a vented noncombus-
tible wood-burning fireplace (prefabricated or masonry)
only. The minimum fireplace opening size in which the
heater is to be installed is:
HEIGHT 21.75" WIDTH 28" DEPTH 18"
The minimum allowable chimney flue size is 6" round.
The minimum distance, from the bottom of a combustible
mantle projecting 3" maximum from the wall to the top of
the louvre opening, is 12". A non-combustible hearth must
protrude a minimum of 18" from the unit unless the insert
is elevated a minimum of 12" above the combustible flooring.
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 MA-
TERIALS. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of opera-
tion with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner.
Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE INSERT SHOULD BE INSTALLED
AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to con-
form with local codes. Installation practices vary from re-
gion 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 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.
• A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing
gas fired appliances.
• 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 CAN1-
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 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 and NFPA
54 in the United States.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
insert 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.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.
The fireplace insert 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 insert must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test-
ing 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 fireplace insert.
The fireplace insert must be electrically connected and
grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence
of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELEC-
TRICAL 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 recepta-
