OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following
a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases,
open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

Purge the gas line with the glass door removed. As-
sure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before
re-installing the door.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:

A.

 This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be
lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.

B.

 Before operating smell all around the fireplace area
for gas and next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor

C.

 Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. 

Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.

• Open windows.

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do

not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's

phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-

partment.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 

The gas valve has an interlock device which

will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou-
ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.

When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is 

depressed

slightly.

1.

Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.

2.

Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.

3.

Turn the gas knob clockwise  to off.

4.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas

including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above safety

information on this label. If you don't smell gas go the next step.

5.

Turn gas knob counter-clockwise   to pilot.

6.

Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the

pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.

7.

With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-

wise  to on.

8.

If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main

burner may not come on when you turn valve to on.  Remote
switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.

9.

Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.

TO TURN OFF GAS

1.

Turn off all electric power to the fireplace if service is

to be performed.

2.

Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise

to off. Do not force.

MAINTENANCE      

Turn off the gas and electrical

power before servicing the fireplace.

CAUTION:

 Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-

icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace 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 assembly,

remove the logs to expose both assemblies.

2.

  Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter

opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu-
uming 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 burn-
ing properly.

4. 

 Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to

engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to-
ward the burner with the third jet.

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
to 10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition
takes longer, consult your Napoleon dealer / distributor.

7.  

Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of

the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
