WARNING

•  Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death. Early signs of poisoning resemble the flu, with headache, 

dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! 

Have heater serviced. Some people - pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease, people with anemia, 

those under the influence of alcohol, those at high altitudes - are more effected by carbon monoxide than 

others. 

•  It is recommended that people with respiratory problems not use vent free appliances.

•  The appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible 

for use with other gases.

•  Objects placed in front of the heater should be kept a minimum of 48” (121.9cm) from the front face of the 

appliance.

•  Use only Wolf Steel approved optional accessories and replacement parts with this appliance. Using non-listed 

accessories and replacement parts (i.e. blowers, louvres, trims, gas components, vent components, etc.) could 

result in a safety hazard and will void the limited lifetime warranty.

•  Not designed for use with a glass door. Screen must be closed when appliance is in operation.

•  This appliance must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.

•  This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of 

Massachusetts.

4.2

THIS GAS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER

 to 

conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the 

specifi cs that apply to your area, for example in Massachusetts State: 

•  This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fi tter when installed within the commonwealth of 

Massachusetts.

•  The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

•  The fl exible connector must not be longer than 36” (91.4cm).

•  A Carbon Monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fi red appliances.

•  The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent 

sealed combustion product.

•  Un-vented room appliances shall be installed in accordance with 527 CMR 30.00 and 248 CMR 3.00 

through 7.00.

•  Sellers of un-vented propane or natural gas-fi red space / room appliances shall provide to each purchaser a 

copy of 527 CMR 30.00 upon the sale of the appliance from http://www.napoleonfi replaces.com/Webshare/

installation_manuals/mass_requirements.pdf

 In absence of local codes, install the appliance to the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 Installation 

Code which can be obtained from:

     American National Standards Institute Inc.          or       National Fire Protection Association Inc.

 

 

1430 Broadway   

 

 

Batterymarch Park

 

         New York, NY 10018 

                         Quincy, MA 02269

The appliance 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 (35 mb). The appliance 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 (35 mb). When installed 

with a blower or fan, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local 

codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electric Code. In the case 

where the blower is equipped with a power cord it must be connected into a properly grounded receptacle. The 

grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.
As long as the required clearance to combustibles is 

maintained, the most desirable and benefi cial location for 

the appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing 

the most effi cient use of the heat created. The location of 

windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the 

appliance is to be located should be considered. 
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile 

or other combustible material other than wood fl ooring, 

the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel 

extending the full width and depth. 

Air shortage caused by an inadequate air supply, improper log positions, the addition of foreign or unapproved 

materials or the failure to properly maintain the appliance, may result in incomplete combustion of the fuel.  

Incomplete combustion results in soot being deposited inside the fi rebox as well as surfaces outside the 

appliance.  If any soot deposits are observed, shut off the appliance immediately and arrange for it to be serviced 

by a qualifi ed technician.

We suggest that our gas 

hearth products be installed 

and serviced by professionals 

who are certified in the U.S. 

by the National Fireplace 

Institute
