CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" ceramic
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. 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.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is
required for the gas system operation.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fire-
place removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow
is at the burner before installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several
minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after igni-
tion.
Six inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for
the 7" diameter flexible liner.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate
accessibility clearance for servicing and operat-
ing the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening
of the fireplace.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be
kept a minimum of 48" from the front face of the
unit.
Expansion / contraction nosies during heating up
and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be
expected.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
to conform with
local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the cur-
rent CAN/CGA -B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988, and NFPA
54-1988 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 ZA240 MH Series in Canada or
ANSI Z223.1-1988 and NFPA 54-1988 in the United States.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in ex-
cess 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).
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 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRI-

Maximum input is 27,000 BTU/hr 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. Maximum output for natural gas is
23,220 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on, and
23,814 BTU/hr for propane at an efficiency of 88% with the
fan on. Minimum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency)
rating is 64% for natural gas and 65% for propane.
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.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in
a mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site
and fueled with natural gas.
