GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with
local codes. Installation practices vary from region to re-
gion and it is important to know the specifics that apply to
your area,
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES
HAVE BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERA-
TIONS AND QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/h
for natural gas and propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific
recommendations from the local authority having jurisdic-
tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced
at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum out-
put for natural gas is 20,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 68%
with the fan on.
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.
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.
• 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 CAN/CGA -
B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. This fireplace is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting room
installations and is suitable for mobile home installation.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, install to the current stand-
ard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH
Series in Canada or the manufactured home construction
and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire
Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations, Sites
and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 5OIA in the United
States.
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS
REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION. Expan-
sion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
If utilizing one of Wolf Steel's trim or surround kits, follow
the framing instructions on page 14 and the finishing in-
structions on page 23, for removal of the top extension.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
before closing the door.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
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).
lightly with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" tempered
glass available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
If the door glass should crack or break, do not operate the
fireplace. Replace only with a door assembly certified with
the fireplace. See DOOR, LOUVRE AND TRIM INSTALLA-
TION for removal and replacement details. 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!
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
extending the full width and depth.
If the optional heat circulating blower is installed, the blower
must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance 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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE in the United States.
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration
and / or blemishes may result.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate ac-
cessibility clearance for servicing and operating the fire-
place. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow the
venting instruction exactly.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent connec-
tion to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction
from the fireplace:
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
enclosure 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.

In absence of local codes, install to the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/CGAB149,
Installation Codes. This model can be common-vented.
This thermally activated switch, located in front of the draft
hood, senses an increase in temperature and acts as a
safety shut-off (See 'A' below). It shuts down the gas to the
main burner in the unlikely event of the unit overheating.
The HI Limit switch will automatically reset after the unit
has cooled down, resuming gas flow to the main burner.
A minimum five inch diameter (5"ø) B-vent or class A vent is
required. A minimum 5' vent height is required. Secure the
B-vent to the exhaust collar on the stove top with 3 screws.
In cold climates, the use of a B-vent and an insulated chase
is recommended.

GLOWING EMBERS
L36 LOUVRE INSTALLATION
For proper ignition, it is very important to that glowing
embers are in place. Tear the embers into small pieces
and place on the ported area of the burner. 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.

Randomly place the embers around the bottom brick pan-
els in a realistic manner but not in contact with the flames.
Keep ember dust away from burner ports to avoid plugging
them.

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 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the
United States.
Remove
the
blower from its
mounting bracket
and attach to the
bracket supplied
with the fireplace.
This bracket is
found secured on
the mounting stud
located at the bot-
tom of the vent
side wall.
FIGURE40
FIGURE44
Remove the thermodisc bracket from the top of the firebox.
Remove the thermodisc from the bracket supplied in the
blower kit and install the thermodisc into the fireplace
bracket. Then replace the bracket in the location it was
removed.
Connect the two ends of the unattached wires by the bracket
to the thermodisc.
Connect the opposite ends of the wires to the red and
black leads of the blower harness.
FIGURE41
The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal har-
ness. When installed, ensure that any excess wire is
contained, preventing it from making contact with mov-
ing or hot objects.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings,
causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to
prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the
blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from
this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
FIGURE42
The blower bracket contains two holes that allow the blower
to be positioned away from the intended gas supply hole.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 10 minutes
after lighting the fireplace and will run for approximately
30 - 45 minutes after the fireplace has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Position the vibration reducing pad, centred, onto the
threaded stud, piercing a hole into the pad. The blower
must be able to be positioned entirely onto the pad.
Tilt the blower onto its side and slide it past the controls.
Position the blower under the clip and onto the stud. Se-
cure with a wing nut.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
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 department.
Purge the gas line with a glass door open. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before re-install-
ing the door.
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 re-
pair 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.
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
GAS KNOB
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock
device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the
thermocouple 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.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
9. Turn on all electric power to the fireplace.
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.
TO TURN OFF GAS

lowest setting or remote switch to off. Press and turn the
gas knob clockwise to pilot.
2. For a complete shut-down procedure: push in gas control
knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing the
fireplace.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and danger-
ous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This fire-
place and its venting system should be inspected before use
and at least annually by a qualified service person. The fire-
place area must be kept clear and free of combustible materi-
als, 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 open-
ing and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming 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 burning prop-
erly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf
the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the
burner with the third jet.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main and runner burners ignite com-
pletely on all openings when the gas knob for the burners 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.
