THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED BYAQUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes.
In absence of local codes, install the BGD42 to the current Na-
tional Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1, or the currentCAN/CGAB149,
Installation Codes.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation.
Installation practices vary from region to region and it is
important to know the specifics that apply to your area,
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is re-
quired for the gas system operation.
for example: in Massachusetts State:
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up

expected.
• 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.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts.
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 the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for Manufac-
tured Home Installations, Sites and Communities Standard ANSI/
NFPA 501A in the United States.
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The BGD42 is factory equipped with
tempered glass. The glass thickness is 3/16". Use only re-
placement glass available from your Napoleon 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
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected 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 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).
discolouration and / or blemishes may result.
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend-
ing the full width and depth.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate ac-
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must cessibility clearance for servicing and operating the

fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fire-
place.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY!
Maximum input is 28,500 BTU/hr for natural gas and 24,000
BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations
above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high alti-
tude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be 'finished', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would any
other outside wall of the home. This will ensure that
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cav-
ity.
Maximum output for natural gas is 19,500 BTU/hr at an effi-
ciency of 68.5% with the fan on, and 16,000 BTU/hr for pro-
pane at an efficiency of 67% with the fan on. The maximum
A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 64% for
natural gas and 61.5% for propane.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with
the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to mini-
mize condensation.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water col-
umn for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct minimum.
Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting components.
Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal
and vertical installations, and air terminal locations for ei-
ther system are set out in this manual and must be ad-
hered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent, follow the installation procedure
provided with the venting components.
All outer pipe joints of these venting systems must be
sealed using Red RTV Hight Temperature Sealant.
The air terminal must remain unobstructed at all times.
Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify
that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before re-installing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp and
American Metal Amerivent venting systems must not be
combined.
Eight (8") inches is the minimum bend radius allowed
for the 8" diameter flexible liner.
A starter adaptor must be used and may be purchased
from the corresponding supplier:

For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust
flue, 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 fireplace flue
collar which must be sealed using the black high tempera-
ture sealant Mill Pac.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD422, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD410, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD411, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD412 or PERISCOPE KIT GD401 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD420 or the 10 foot vent kit GD430.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent sur-
faces:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch

INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
FOR SAFEAND PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE,
FOLLOW THE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all
around the vent pipe is required.
FIGURE 16
This application occurs
when venting through a
roof. Installation kits for
various roof pitches are
available from your Napo-
leon dealer. SeeAccesso-
ries to order the specific
kit required.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when vent-
ing through an exterior wall. Having
determined the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in an exterior
wall with a minimum opening as
required. See Note above. (As an
alternative to framing, a vent pipe
shield may be installed, ensuring
a 1" clearance to combustibles.
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 10
inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to provide the
minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace pipe /
liner and any combustible material. Try to center the ex-
haust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of
the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE
OF MATERIAL. A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials
such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air space around
the pipe. Nail headers
FIGURE 14
See Figure 16.)
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the determined
depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking
(not supplied) to the framework or to the shield plate (in the
case of a finished wall) and secure the shield through the
opening to the interior wall. The final location of the vent
pipe shield should maintain the required clearance to the
8" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity
with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulking all around
and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire-
place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the
required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent
pipe / liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant
between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

2. Apply a bead of
caulking (not sup-
plied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf
Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a
finished ceiling), and secure over the opening in the ceil-
ing. FIGURE 18. A firestop must be placed on the bottom of
each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting
system passes through. Apply a bead of caulking all around
and place a firestop spacer over the vent shield to restrict
cold air from being drawn into the room or around the fire-
place. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the

Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. As
this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be
restricted using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces
the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame
pattern and creating a more traditional appearance.
Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar
inside the firebox. Install the plate as shown. Replace the
screws.
FIGURE 29
FIGURE 29. The air terminal must
be located vertically and plumb.
GAS INSTALLATION
6. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly
centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around.
Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of
the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking.
Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash-
ing with roofing material. FIGURE 23.
7. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between
the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.
Tighten securely. Attach the rain cap.
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"diam-
eter holes located at either end of the base.
2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L cop-
per tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient lo-
cation. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through
the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit.
The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire
size:
WIRE SIZE

8. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and
securing as above. Attach a 5" collapsed telescopic pipe
to the last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and
seal. Repeat using a 8" telescopic pipe.
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the
gas valve.
9. Run a bead of high temperature sealant Mill Pac
around the outside of the 5" collar on the fireplace. Pull the
adjustable pipe a minimum of 2" onto the collar. Secure
with 3 screws. Repeat with the 8" telescopic pipe.
FIGURE 30
10. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up
the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent
any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air
space around the pipe.

It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes. FIGURES 31-33.
Seal and tighten securely. An adapter fitting is required
between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex con-
nector.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
Do not kink flex connector.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Do not use open flame.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or
gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before re-installing the door.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past any of
the black face-areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible ma-
terial (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these
areas.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
FIGURE 33
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes
located in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclo-
sure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would
finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the
cavity.

two pins as illustrated.
LOG PLACEMENT
3. Tear the glowing embers into pieces and place along
the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of
the small logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the
embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will
only glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should
be taken to not block the burner ports. Blocked burner ports
can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and
delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow when exposed to
direct flame.
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Napo-
leon Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing ef-
fect that is different in every installation. Take the time to
carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glow-
ing effect. Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the
fireplace, the colours will become more uniform as colour
pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process.

Unplug the power cord from the receptacle. Connect all
wires as shown.
With the thermostatic sensor option, the fan, when turned
on, becomes thermally activated, and will automatically run
approximately 15-30 minutes after the fireplace has been
lit and for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace
has been turned off.
Attach and secure the sensor assembly bracket to the se-
curing stud located next to the receptacle/junction box at
the bottom left of the unit using the lock washer and wing
nut. Ensure that the thermodisc touches the firebox wall.
Plug the power cord back into the receptacle.
When installed, ensure that any excess wire is contained,
preventing it from making contact with moving or hot ob-
jects.

process and will not occur again.
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:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be
lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• Open windows.
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.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
GAS KNOB
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed
slightly.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-
wise
to on.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
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.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise
to off.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing 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.
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
person. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable va-
pours and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation
air must not be obstructed.
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.
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.

ADJUSTMENTS
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner
ports. The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow
15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
